Treaty Now, Treaty Now

Posted on July 30, 2023 by Rod's World

I yook part in a rematkable event yesterday. over 500 singers sang Yothu Yindi’s iconic anthem Treaty now in the CBD od Naarm/ Melbourne in Four fifferent locations, The Myer Music Bowl, The National Gallery of Victoria and we Flashmodded the major gathering space Fed Square.

Stever taverner and The Spooky Mens chorale , one Australia’s most popular choirs led us included it as part of their natioal tour to support the Yrs campaighn for the Voice recognition of First Nations people in out country. I was alive in 1967 when their status was changed from fauna to humman beings. Yes, we are a racist nation at heart, what other country would have a White Australia policy for 70 years

My friend Anfrew weote the best thing I have read on this. vindicitive campaign that is dividing our nation due to the efforts of the Murdoch Media scum. There it is:

4. It will be permanent, and future governments won’t be able to remove it.

5. Ensuring the Voice can speak to “executive government” means its central role is entrenched, regardless of future governments.

6. It will be gender equal and include youth members, meaning more voices from Indigenous communities will be heard.

7. It has been carefully devised and given the green light by legal experts.

8. Fixed terms mean representatives will always be accountable.

9. The Voice would be a good mechanism through which to negotiate Truth and Treaty processes with the Commonwealth.

10. Parliament, and by extension the Australian people, would still hold the ultimate say over what becomes law.

The ‘against’ campaign usually have one or more of these arguments:

1. It’s symbolic, and fixing systemic issues facing Indigenous communities would require a body with actual power.

2. Governments can ignore its advice if they don’t like it.

3. The Voice adds race to the constitution.

4. Because the Voice will be designed by parliament, future governments could change or sideline it.

5. Indigenous people already have a voice via an unprecedented level of Indigenous representation in parliament.

6. Truth and Treaty should come before the Voice.

It is important to also look at who is supporting which campaign:

Left leaning parties who have always done more for indigenous rights in Australia like Labour and Greens overwhelmingly are supportive of the Voice.

Right leaning parties who have a track record of not supporting indigenous rights in Australia like One Nation, Liberal and UAP are overwhelmingly against the Voice.

I have noticed that people who have a tendency towards believing in conspiracy theories and who have a general aversion to anything that the government does, tend to be against the Voice. These are the same people who would tend to be anti 5G, anti vax, anti UN, pro Trump and Qanon etc.

I hope that when people make their vote, they consider the actual question being proposed and have read the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full as that is where the Voice idea came from so provides the best context for who is asking for it and why they want it.

Referendum question and constitutional amendment

Referendum question and constitutional amendment

No list from Marc and Angel this week, sorry my friends

Here are the quotes and some different versions of Treaty Now, ours is being edited from yesterday still.

Australia will look like a nation odf dickheads worldwide if the vote loses as I fear it will.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes , etc. etc . etc.

Women and the youth of Australia will vote Yes in droves, they did not grow up in Racist Australia.

Some miighty woeds as ro why you should vote yes.

All you gubbas out there, this is what the voice is about a real say for our First Nations brothers and sisters.

Powerful words supporting the Yes Vote.

Even people with gray hair are saying Yes.

Love the colours in this one.

And our youth have a say.

Black and White, we all support it.

The colours of our land, the flag of the First Nations people of Australia, the land was never ceded.

This is the first blog I have written not wearing my glasses because of the miracle Costa Rican herbal cure, a bit irrelevent

The Uluru statement from the Heart, where this all began.

Yes we can do it.

Back to my words on Interculturalism, The Voice is definitely a part of that. Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, It’s our time.

To my readers in 160 countries world wide, this is a very important moment in the history of our country . We may grow into adulthood, or maybe recognised as dickheads worldwide.

Those are Mighty Words

Posted on July 24, 2023 by Rod's World

I post a lot on social media, especially on Booker Looker land AKA Facebook. Sometimes up to 50 posts a day. They are always from the land of empowerment and possibility. I believe we have a choice moment to moment to empower others or join the dangerous My Opinion is the Truth cult and take others down being righteous about a certain subject. One can make a profound difference the other engenders hatred towards another.

There are so many mighty words available, they have been being written from the advent of the written word, you just have to look for them. I love the fact we have access to them all via the great goddess known as Google. This is what took me to my business Rods Rocking Research and the fact that all you need to do is type in a few words and the metaverse provides you with millions of answers which has only been enhanced by the phenomenon know as AI.

My great skill is that I have the fastest hands in Australia on Google and the ability to ask great questions that cut through the dross and get me to where I need to go in an instant. Give me a request and I can find the solution almost instantly. Just don’t expect it to arrive beautifully laid out, that is not my thing, perhaps I need a VA or two.

How do my friends Marc and Angel Chernoff put it in one of their beautiful lists, lets go there:

15 Ways to Live, And not Merely Exist:

Appreciate the great people and Things in Your Life.
Ignore other people’s negativity.
Forgive those who have hurt you.
Be who you really are.
Ghoose to listen to your inner voice.
Embrace change and enjoy your life as it unfolds.
Choose your relationships wisely.
Recognize those who love you.
Love yourself too.
Do things your future self will thank you for.
Be thanks for all the troubles you don’t have.
Leave enough time for fun.
Enjoy the little things in life.
Acceot the fact that the past is not today.
Let go when you must.

So time for some of my favourite mighty words from the great wordsmiths over time ans some tunes to go with them:

There are special people in your life, they are your keepers, they may not fit your image of what they shoulld look and be like.

How great do you you dare to let your life to be, dream so big that you can never fulfil it.

How many of those negative thoughts you had actually happened, I guess not that many.

I forget who said it, but you do not die when they put you in the ground, it is when you stop learning.

Personal self responsibility, Life doing it for you, because you say so.

The world is waiting for your genius, why else do you think you were one of the lucky sperm who made it through.

Only you know this, stop looking for others to answer this question for you.

What we spend our entire life searching for, sadly some of us never experience it.

Its you who is the miracle in your life, look in the mirror daily to reminnd yourself.

There is no planet B, as there. is no plan B.

I love that Harvard study where the three percent who wrote down their goals made more than the other Ninety Seven percent during their l ives.

Loving and firm intent, such life transforming words, Thanks Peter.

The eternal question we get to answer moment to moment, what do you choose?

To the members of the ever dangerous My Opinion is the Truth cult, no it is not.

We are close to the end, Here is where I post my koan for Interculturalism so it pervades the 160 countries across the world who honour me by reading thi. Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; it’s up to us, Because we can, it’s our time.

The playlist, I saw Rising Appalachia live in Naarm/Melbourne, only because a dear friend shouted me a ticket into the festival they were playing out, humanity is so generous if you let them be, the art of receiving, give your damn pride up and miracles will occur.

Fingers crossed, here is the link: https://bit.ly/473a8yy

Thanks to those who will read this, I rather like it.

By Me or Through Me.

Another great distinction from my mentor Peter Sage this week. Do you make promises to yourself on a regular basis that you will work harder and triple your income, or do you pay people shitloads of money to other people whose pretty new Facebook Ad could finally be the solution to that grating problem that is in the way of your ultimate success. Notice that you have been going down this well trodden path for, in my case a few decades and surprise, surprise, it hasn’t worked.

Peters wonderful levels of consciousness technology, which I will not mention all here, because they are his not mine are remarkable in their simplicity and the transformation they offer you if you get them. if you wish to find out them all, go over to peterSage.com and join our community of truth-seekers.

To Me – a life of victimhood, By Me – A Hard Yakka life and Through Me – a life of relative ease in creating magic in your life are three of the levels, I am wandering between By Me and Through Me with Peter’s ongoing training in his USM program and am so blessed that I sat up and watched an online Wealth Summit where I came across Peter, Grant Cardone, Les Brown , Jack Canfield and Tony Robbins on a personal basis. I was communicating with the Host and Panelists not everyone on Zoom for two nights, hanging shit on the South Africans about the fact we thrashed them in the latest cricket series appealed to the panelists sense of humour.

As Amanda Palmer says in her great book and TED talk the Art of Asking if you do not ask they cannot say Yes. My mum taught me to treat everybody the same, and I try to live by this koan. So imagine my surprise when Jack Canfield answered my email about “So you have millions of dollars, but what do you do on a daily basis? and Peter how did he put up with all the losers screaming Save me, Save me, make me a millionaire without me doing anything. See, they have been money makers for decades, but I have. been an activist, a dead broke one but have taken part in some of the great campaigns that have made a difference over the years.

We all chose our paths. under Peters tutelage I have been freeing up space to allow abundance in my life. I am not skilled at it, my first attempt at it cost me $20,000 US. But recently I won an hour with the top branding guy in Naarm/Melbourne. I have quite a few skills and we discussed them over the hour and my life. At the end he told me to stop bullshitting about wanting a business, it was clear that I wanted to create a movement. See, I intend to save the planet for my three year old grand niece Tawera with the funds of Bill gates, Elon Musk, Sir Richard Branson, Geoff Bezos and Grant Cardone and any other billionaire out there willing to play the game. I know governments will not do it, as they are mere power trippers and do not really give a rats about the planet.It is outside their day to day ego stroking.

Rant Over, time for Marc and Angel wisdom, not a list but a parable:

When our stories Hold us back:

She rarely makes eye contact, Instead, she looks down at the ground. because the ground is safer. Because unlike people, it expects nothing in return. the ground just accepts her for who she is.

As she sits at the bar next to me, she stares down at her vodka tonic, and then the ground, ther her vodka tonic. “Most people don’t get me,” she says” They ask me questions like, “Whats you problem?” or “Were you mistreated as a child?” But I never respond. Because I don’t feel like explaining myself. And I don’t think they really care anyway.”

The music is getting loud and I can see thats she needs to talk. I ask, “Want to get some freah air?” In the chilly night air, she tells me her story. As she speaks, her emotional gaze shifts from the ground, to my eyes, to the moomlit sky, to the ground, and back to my eyes again. When she finishes, she says, “Well now you know my story. You think I’m a freak, don’t you?”

“Place you right hand on your chest,” I tell her. She does. “Do you feel something?” I ask “ Yeah I feel my heartbeat.”

“Now, place both of your hands on your face and move them around slowly.” She does. ‘ What do you feel now?” I ask. “Well, I feel my eyes, my nose, my mouth…I feel my face.”

“That’s right.” I reply. “But unlike you, stories don’t have heartbeats, and they don’t have faces. Because stories are not alive…they’re not people, they’re just tories.”

She stares into my eyes for a long moment, smiles and says, “Juststories we live through.” Yeah…and stories we learn from.”

Peter Sage, meet Marc and Angel Chernoff, the best list creators on the metaverse, you should work together.

Quotes and Songs are coming up:

Remember to have down time. Busyness is not success.

Don’t expect everyone to like you on the journey.

I love positivity, that s why I love Peter’s distinctions.

The old adage, Don’t listen to their words.watch their actions.

I can’t know who you really are for all the noise.

I am on the way, watch for me.

His Holiness rocks.

We all love our NHL don’t we.

Greatness formulae 101.

This defines happiness at all levels.

Remember to include beachtime.

Action is your first step.

One foot in front of another equals work.

We killed this man, I wonder why. He scared the muggles.

Close to the end. My koan for interculturalism: Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; Its up to us, Because we can, it’s up to us.

To my readers in 160 countries, I really like this blog, Enjoy.

In the nature of asking aka Amanda style., could someone lend me $47 US in the next 24 hours, I will pay you back Thursday, I would really love to do Peters challenge but my finances are still fucked day to day.

My friend Thea is a Rockstar.

Posted on July 6, 2023 by Rod's World

Years ago I met this vital young, compared to me woman named Thea. We were doing Landmark work, many of you will know what that is so I won’t go into a long explanation. Thea disappeared off the radar, and I often wondered what had become of this ball of possibility.

So as you do, me having the fastest hands on Google in Australia, late one night I typed her name in. Was the person running Forward Steps out of Perth the same person. A little bit of online Research, and a picture on her website confirmed I had relocated my long lost friend.

What is a Forward Steps you may ask. I purchased her book, which has now converted into an on line membership with a looked forward to email each day chock a block with inspirational knowledge set in different sections.

These sections are a) Wisdom of the Web, a well researched piece of empowerment from the Metaverse b) Life Power Tip, my personal favourite, often in question form or pointing out what should be obvious but is often not, I have altered my habits through this section. c) An Action – and go. d) Challenge – What will you take on to be the change you need to be your best self. e) Quote – There are some mighty wordsmiths during the Ages f) Clearing – Do something that will improve your energy g) Question – In your face time. h) Affirmation – A brand new one for each day i) Uplifting Extra – a little surprise thrown in at the end and j) a video for those who like it visual.

Thea states the following: These Notes are intended for leisured grazing to collect new thoughts, dreams, ideas, philosophies, possibilities, positives, creatives, tools, software, programs, life power tips and a lot more. I attest that is exactly what they do, in spades.

Type in Forward Steps Thea in Google and it will take you to this treasure trove of possibility:

Well, its time for the Marc and Angel list, its actually a tale: Recently I was at the water’s edge of a local beach when a young boy ran full speed right by me and into the shallow surf. He continuously hopped up and down as he was running forward, kicking his little legs in the air and across the surface of the water before inevitably falling face-first into the waves.

He got back up and repeated this act several times, each time with more determination than the previous attempt. It became obvious that he was trying to run across the surface of the water. I couldn’t help but laugh. His combined levels of determination and exertion were priceless. After several attempts he notived my laughter and walked over to me.”What’s so funny?’ he asked. “You remind me of me, and it makes me smile,” I said. “Do you know how to walk on water?” he asked.”Like a superhero” “ Well, I think I can help you out,” I said. ‘Let me give you a few pointers.”

Curious, the boy sat down on the sand next to me. His mother scurried over, worried…but I reassured her that her son wasn’t bothering me. Relieved, perhaps, tp have her son sitting safely on the sand instead of flying head-first through the air, she went back to her beach chair about twenty feet away and continued a conversation with another lady.

“So, you want to walk on water, eh?” I asked. He nodded his head anxiously. Here is a rough summary of what I told him
