It's a long, long, long...................long, ...lo..........ng....looo....nnnnnn.....ggg.....long story.  I lost my "self".  It was beautiful and stuff.  Then I ruined it by looking for my "self".  Unfortunately I found it.  Now.......... I'm back.                                  >sheeesh<


eBuzz in Biz

(Hi y'all!  a'member me?!)

.....Tomorrow?  the World!  The next day? the Universe!!  And after that?!!?  Death from lack of oxygen.....Bah!  Damn this blasted gross body.

     Hello everyone.  My name is Erik aka eBuzz, but you can call me aka for short.  As some of you know, I have been away for awhile.  And for those of you who don't............I have been away for awhile.  I'm all better now.  I wasn't in the past and I certainly won't be in the future.  Now will suffice. 

     I'm a ranter.  Therefore I rant.  Yeah.  Weird.  So.........(I'm addicted to extended elipsi)  I have been busy entertaining my ego and figuring out how to entertain everybody else's too.  Fun huh?  All kidding aside I like to tell funny stories with humorous anecdotes with witty endings and slightly off middles and wobbly, fiddly and oddly gurgly beginnings.  This story has a happy ending because it doesn't have one yet.  At least not until I get there.....or so I'm told. ( damn.  another elipsis) 

     If you haven't looked at my zPro page yet please do so.  It's fun to look at.  If the Spirit moves you, you might even consider reading it.  That's fun too.  I even read it!  This site and it's sister site are the gestaltic result of a 13 year vision of mine that I tried to bring to some sort of fruition about four years ago and as you may have guessed, didn't fru-it.  Now that I know how to fru-it it (that's fun.  say it three times fast without spitting on the monitor)  I welcome one and all to enjoy and co-create the experience with me.  You see the key ingredient in it's success was missing at last attempt.  YOU!!!  Holy Schnikeys, I can't do it by myself.  But I can do it by my SELF!  You wanna?

     Any  Body and Mind and BodyMind and Mindbody, and modybind is invited to come and collaborate in anyway your imagination can fathom.  I like the word fathom.  It suggests depth.  Not like Johnny depth from that pirate thing, but as in deep in it like other stuff that one can get deep into, wether it be trouble, kimshi or otherwise, it still is conducive to being large and cavernous and open with big round wide sounds.  Breadth works too.  Just not in the toaster. 

     In all seriousness, I believe this idea can change the world!  It takes a huge undertaking of all sorts of humanity to make it work which is exactly why it would work and why it would be the most wonderful thing a Human BEing can experience!

Please join me and I will see you someday at a Realized Consciousness Tour!

Rod from Love One Another has pledged to back World Rave International.  As to the exact details, these are not worked out yet.  But this is very exciting and I hope it encourages other backers.  This endeavor is only successful as much as it is integral.  More pitching in.  More contribution of any form.  More expanding the dream and holding the Vision!  I will give all supporters the notoriety and advertising they deserve at the World Rave International website!  Let's get it goin' folks.  It's for all of us!  Thanks to all of you and Thanks again to LOA and please show this beautiful organization of Rod's the Love it deserves!

Erik

World Rave International is proud to have GAIA's Kelly Cookson on board as a Cofounder and Director of BizDev.  You ROCK Special K!!  Thank you for bringing your badly needed talents to our ever expanding Round Table of Wise Council!

Some of you maybe asking how this works!  Perfect!!  It's simple.  This is an integral organization in every way.  I refuse to have any one person calling the shots (CEO,Boss,Supreme Chancellor of the Republic), nor can any one person act without a collaborative decision or vote of all Cofounders (Jedi Council).  Conscious Entrepreneurs!  Wether you realize or not, this is your calling.  Every one of you has a unique talent that you fuel with the fiery passion of YOUR heart and the direct wisdom of Spirit.   That is what we are looking for at W.R.I..  You bring your talent, a Spirit-filled heart and an open mind, and simply say, "hey!  I want to be a part of this!  I can offer this, this and that and can do that, that and this" and thus we say, "Wooo to the hooo!  Your in and now a cofounder!"  I could no more be a founder of anything business or financially oriented than Kelly can be a founder of the most amazingly played Native American Flute arpeggios.........yet!  The point is, you bring your impassioned heart-felt ability and that is clearly what you are supposed to do!  We'll plug it in somewhere! 

As of today, Kelly got the ball rolling on making W.R.I. an official business and non-profit organization.  So if you are looking for a potential dream job and wanting to be a part of the coolest thing a Human BEing can do on this Earth today, come have a chat with us and we'll get you up to snuff on what's going on and then you can have at it!  K?  I'll talk to you later.  And you know who you are, cuz you just got lit on fire while reading this!!!

Erik, Stuart and Kelly

Cofounders (and building) World Rave International

  OK Peoples!  It's time to get down to the nitty gritty of things and W.R.I. is now looking for specific talents concerning skills and knowledge of business infrastructure and non-profit handling.  We also need PR people and Pitch people.  PR people should be no strangers to public speaking and being on television if necessary.  If this sounds like you and you want to be involved in the coolest and biggest collaborative Integral Human project in the World, please e-mail Kelly Cookson  at kelly.cookson@gmail.com with a basic summary of your talents and skills.  We are looking for people that wanna do this with Fire in the heart and Compassionate Spirit!  Don't worry about inundating Kelly.  She used to it.  I think.....

Erik

World Rave International

This is a calling to ALL aspects of Creative Flow.  Are you and artist?  Are you business Savvy?  Are you a Humanitarian?  Are you a facilitator of Dreams?  Imagine all of these aspects and more working under the same roof simultaneously for sake of Global Awakening in the most poignant and creative way possible utilizing every single internal and external receptor the Human Consciousness can fathom gross physical to nondual "suchness"!!  The technology exists today.  The engineering know how exists today!!  The missing piece of the ever expanding integral puzzle is YOU!!!  Please come and look deep inside yourself to help realize the Largest Enlightenment Project on the Planet!!!

Boundless Love and Endless Blessings,

What if you could enjoy all limits of human experience at once?

The Vision:

In your hand you hold a ticket which has been color coded. On the back of this ticket you have written your name and mailing address. You hand this ticket to an attendant and in exchange you get a percussive instrument (i.e. drum, rattle, shaker) with the event logo emblazoned upon it. Next you walk through the doors into a massive arena in which you notice there are seating sections radiating from the center in colored pie slices. Naturally you sit in the color your ticket was. Next you notice a very large round stage (approximately 50 to 75 yards in diameter) with an impressive amount of sonic equipment on it. You also happen to notice that it is rotating at approximately 1 revolution every 10 minutes. About three stories above the stage you see what is to be known as "The World Rave Mothership"; a massive round multimedia armature loaded with projection equipment, lighting, speakers and on the backside of it an intricate nozzle system that emits a mist down to the floor level from three stories up. Upon this veil of mist a plethora of visual media will be projected which will include some of the Earth's most beautiful and precious scenery and Mankind's positive interaction with it as well as prompts to the audience (wonder what that color on the ticket was for?) to start drumming, shaking and rattling to the rhythm of their colored lights! The mist veil, just for kickers has been imbued with aroma therapy scents such as patchouli oil or nag champa incents. We didn't want your nose to feel left out! All of this is surrounding what is happening on the stage. Conscious composer/performers of percussive Worldbeat and Techno perform their music while ethnic dancers of every imaginable creed, race, color and culture dance around them. By the way, your seat now folds into the floor to reveal plenty of space to get up and jam yourself!

Welcome to the
Realized Consciousness Tour
by
World Rave International!

That's just the beginning! Actually, technically it is the three to four hour end to a wonderful week of healing workshops, transformative talks, meditative walks and spa visits that you undertook so that you were ready to contribute as a conscious co-creator of this event. Imagine a week learning the basics of alternative healing techniques such as Reiki, Rolfing, Swedish massage or even guided imagery while being served wholesome foods from a conscious menu of mostly vegetarian and vegan fare (meat dishes would still be served for those who wished and it would be of a free range and organic variety as well). The onsight living conditions would be conducive to meditative and contemplative practices from the best of the world's best transformative traditions. Also on site would be the Conscious Vendors's Market where hemp clothing and other free trade goodies could be purchased perhaps after walking in our underground meditative and contemplative labyrinth where the end should inspire inner calm and greater vision in depth and breadth.

Imagine! You sharing and co-creating a truly remarkable and transformative experience that is uniquely human and like nothing else ever experienced in all cumulative human history. Every internal and external sense is stimulated to elicit a sense of now'ness and ever present awareness of this eternal moment. And for that week, in this place with possibly thousands of other people from every walk, level of understanding, belief system, and culture, there would be no conflict, no war and no intolerance. The would be only the sharing of the best of each culture's best traditions and their beautiful transformative abilities. And to top it off, after about a week, when you have returned to the comforts of your own home, you will recieve a DVD (your name and address, remember?) of your unique experience. Thus saving you the dread of recalling all of the many experiential stimuli that would be almost impossible to remember while you were here.

One more thing should be added here. A large portion of ticket sales would go into freeing up food stores of countries that grow in abundance and distributing it to countries that don't as well as extending them an invite to send cultural emissaries to join the show if they haven't already. This of course will be a non-profit organization with some compensation going naturally to those who put in the time and effort to bring this event to all.

How can this happen?!

YOU!!!! You make this happen! We all do. Every kind of talent imaginable is needed to make this Vision fly. We need facilitators, idea people, organizers, producers, photographers, directors, writers, coordinators, engineers, architects, film makers, two dimensional artists, three dimensional artists, performers of every culture and belief system. The question is not so much how can you help but can you help? Any and all kinds of help are needed. For this to work, it must be the cumulative effort of many, many people with not a only a shared dream but the fire of passion burning in them to keep this vision alive! At a grassroots level, this can start in Universities and Concert hall's and Community Centers all across the globe. As it is, the catalyst for this idea currently resides in Humboldt County Northern California. We need to have a meeting of conscious minds on the same page to formulate a map of what this would actually look like and start with the exciting process of getting the first event off the drawing table and onto the stage!

If this Vision resonates with you and sounds like it could evolve to the single most important thing that Mankind can do for all of Mankind, please feel free to e-mail us at world.rave@gmail.com as to how you can contribute or post a comment at the World Rave International website.

Thank You and Blessings,

     As of now, I am writing an Executive Summary and a Manifesto of what the step by step and day by day process of what if would be like to experience a retreat at World Rave International.  I am also in the middle of coming up with all of the concept art as well.  Eventually the two projects will marry into a sinuous glossy portfolio to be used at investment meetings and just showing to others the Vision that has been bouncing around in my head for years.  Exhausting.  I have been all consumed and non-stop "go" for three weeks straight on this thing with about an average of 4-5 hours sleep a night on top of my day job.  I don't know how people do this.  I trust Spirit though and until a critical mass of folks who actually can do something start helping me carry this Vision with the same amount of excitement and fire and sense of global importance that I do, I will not let up for a single moment!  Right now it is still just the three of us handling everything and the days seem smaller and smaller and smaller.  Yikes!

Holding the Vision,

Erik

     Ok fellas.  If you're my age, you know you get caught up in the whole "pressure cooker" world of Hallmark gift giving crap everytime that chubby, pastey cherub flings a stick off his recurve.  What a racket.  But we gotta do it.  And what is it that we gotta do?  Commercialism dictates flowers, chocolate, cards, candy hearts, jewelry, dinner out (candle light, ugg..), baby sitter, and a baby sitter for the baby sitter if said sitter is under 15 (if over 15 she/he is talking on your phone rackin' up a huge bill talking mushy to Davey/Molly on a field trip in Adelaide while the TV is suffering from channel A.D.D. from his/her itchy remote finger; basically watching and talking to everything but your kid/s), and $20 dollars to the old lady across the street to watch your house for suspicious activity and fires as both events usually mean that your kids have exacted their revenge on you and the baby sitter.  >Cripes!<

     So here's what you do and please tell me if this works so's I can do it next year, Sucker!  The day before, you offer to do the yardwork for the nice old lady across the street.  She's got a rose garden.  Catch my drift?  That $20 your gonna give her tomorrow was just saved right there, pal!  Have you seen the price for roses lately!??  Buy the diamonds fellas.  It's cheaper.  Now on your way to work every morning you usually stop for a coffee at a drive-thru java hut somewhere right?  Don't they usually give you a mint or a chocolate or something?  Save those in your lunch box.  When you get to the magic number of fifty, that is about the right amount of candy for Valentines.  Do NOT give it to her in a paper sack you Dope!  No no.  You know that tea cup way in the back of the cupboard that you got her five years ago but she never uses because it says "Git 'er done" with a picture of Daisy Duke on it?  Your gonna get that sucker out and take it to the tool shed and give it a Primer make over and then I think that last pint of Fuchia Outdoor Latex paint will finish her off nicely.  Besides, you Idiot, if she calls you on it, you can back outta that one by saying that you actually made something for her and that it was the inspiring energy of Love that led you to accidently leave Daisy Duke's ass paint-free.  Put the candy in the cup, Colon Nugget and wrap it in something besides a shop rag and duct tape.  Next.  How old are your kids now?  Teens?  uh-huh.  Somewhere in the garage is a dusty old banged up box of books they had when they were say about, ages four through seven.  Pick a book with the most pictures of animals on it.  In that book is a page that will speak to you with a nice fuzzy horsey or something 'cause you still can't read worth a shit.  Take that folding hunting knife from your jeans pocket.  You know the one.  It has the cool pocket clip on it, but still looks new because the only reason you got it was to be able to pull it out and clean your nails with it in front of the first boy that's gonna ask your daughter out for a date.  Cut the page out, Doofus.  Next.  The spray can of white water-based paint that rolled behind the washing machine three years ago is finally gonna get some use.  Spray paint the words off the page.  All three of them.  Your shoes should still be on as yes, there are only three words.  The only other publications with that little text on the pages is porn in which case the picture you have chosen is not a fuzzy horsey and is in fact your own stash, Dumb Ass!  Next.  Write something thoughtful in the blank space you have painted.  Let the paint dry first, Door Knob and don't use a grease pencil!  Try something with color.  A highlighter marker will do nicely.  Make sure that you have written small enough to have at least fit the words "I Love You" on there somewhere.  If you mispelled those words, that's OK.  Women think that shit is cute.  Next.  Fold this page in half.  This is your card.  Next.  Has your wife ever been fishing?  No?  Buddy, your in luck!  Time to go for the tackle box.  Take out some of the nicer swivels you have in the back compartments.  Not the new ones!!!  This is Steelhead Season, Son.  Lordy!  We're just making something she'll love the sentiment of and never wear anyway!  Now the next step is tricky.  You have to be honest.  How big is your wife?  Is she in shape or has time worn her down alittle bit.  Is she still callin' you "Time"?  Ha!  That's a joke, Dumbshit.  Now.  You are gonna use some of the nice shiny steel colored number eights.  If she is largish, use about 20.  If she is still about the same size as the Wedding Day, use 30.  This is a necklace.  If you want extra credit, take the treble hook off of a Super Duper or L'il Cleo and run the swivel chain through the split ring.  Make sure to take extra precaution to clean the last fishing trip's bait off the lure you choose, otherwise she's gonna pierce your nipple with it when she's done screaming.  Next.  Fire up the Barby, Dipshit!  Dinner out, remember?  Yeah I know it's snowing, but you shoulda thought of that before you spent all of the gift money at the coffee hut yesterday gettin' all 50 pieces of candy in one day after you read this.  What an Ass.  I've got two words for you.  Dollar store.  Yeah.  Candy hearts and kisses everywhere.  If you'd been thinkin' in advance you wouldn't be in this pinch.  If you'd been thinkin' somebody would have wrote an article about it.  So fire up the Barby, Buttwad!  Next.  There's a whole chicken in the freezer.  Get it out.  Take off the packaging.  This is imperative and must be done before putting on the Barby.  Next.  You got any of that crappy generic label beer left over from when your buddies came last Saturday for poker night?  Crack open a can now.  Stick it up the chicken's pooper.  Stand it upright in the Barby.  Come back in an hour.   Next.  Go in the house and open the refrigerator.  Slide open the compartment labeled "Crisper".  See those?  Those are vegetables.  Similar to your kids only cheaper to raise.  After you wash the layers of paint off of your hands, give the veggies a rinse too.  Do NOT wipe off the vegetables on your shirt, Dolt!  That's for your hands!  The back of your pants leg is for vegetables.  Nobody said being domestic was easy!  But you're as sharp as a barn door.  You'll get it.  We're almost done now.  Chop the veggies into bite size pieces.  For her.  About one third yours not counting the missing tooth.  Now go back to the fridge.  Open it, Fart Sack!  The white bottle shaped like Oprah is Ranch Dressing.  Pour about a quarter of that in a bowl with the veggies.  Don't forget to toss the salad, now.  If the vegetables are on the ceiling and the floor, you did it wrong, Ape Scrote!  Put it all back into the bowl.  Toss means mix.  Use one of those shiny annoying things your wife is always putting beside your dinner plate.   The thing you  clean your ears at the table with will do nicely.  Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!!!  Smoke  Alarm?!  The chicken's done.  Next.  Remove the hubcaps, tools and lubricants from the table.  In other words, the kids' breakfast dishes.  Set a nice clean place for two and remember to put a fresh paper towel under each entree.  It kinda looks like doilies.  Next.  Give kids money.  Send to the movies.  Done!

  You have just successfully prepared a lovely Valentine's Day Evening for your significant other or your wife.  Whichever you prefer.  Good Luck!  If you did it right, you might get lucky tonight, Ass Pimple!  If you didn't?  Find out what movie the kids are watching and don't forget your teacup full of candy!  Popcorn in the cinemas is expensive!!!

I'm Countin' On Ya'

Hey everybody!

     Sorry about my inactivity on the blog as of late.  I had a beautiful vacation in Mt. Shasta last week and now I am trying to catch up with some things on the WRI front.  Shasta btw, is one of the most collectively awakened communities I have ever had the pleasure to visit thus far.  It's like Sedona, Arizona only with alot more snow.  I hung out in some of the most wonderful little bookshops and coffee shops and everybody was warm and friendly and extremely knowledgeable on all things Spiritual.  Not a single copy of Maxim on the magazine shelves.  It was more like What Is Enlightenment?, Tricycle, Shambhala Sun, Utne Reader, Mother Earth News, and.....you get the idea.  Simply fantastic!  The bookshelves were pretty much the same caliber of quality.  Add to that a nice steamy mocha of consciously grown free trade coffee and the shadow of the majestic mountain caressing the town and you have the complete picture.  Fabulous!!

     Things are busy on the WRI dealy albeit progress is slow but steady and intentional.  I have written the manifesto and I am currently working on getting the concept out to everyone in a format not yet done before to the best of my knowledge.  It is exciting!!  I hope to have something to show all of you in about six weeks as this should be complete before we have our first meeting at the round table in Boulder about that time.  I promise you, wonderful things are unfolding and the fire in my heart is just barely contained!  Watch for it!!

I Love Y'all  Immensely!!

Slainte Mhath!

Erik
