Privileged Whiteness versus Interculturalism

Posted on August 28, 2023 by Rod's World

My friiend posted an article about the Stanford professor who was savagely attacked in the media because she dared suggest the American Conscious movement reeked of Privilrgrd Whiteness quoting as an example Burning Man Festival. This thought stuck in my mine when I attended two events over the weekend. The first one was a dance of about 150 people: n1 Mexican, 1 Asian, ! IndiN, The rest came from the background of privileged whiteness. The second event was a kirtan practice, a bit better, 3 Islander women and two Asian women out of a crowd of eighty singing ancient Indian chants, go figure.

Now over to the world of Interculturalism where I hang out half the time. I was at a Yarning circle of 60 people. I was the only descendant of earl Victorian sellers who had taken part in the Frontier Wars, not on the good side. I often attend events where I am the token white guy. They appreciate me coming because it is not often White Australian attend their events even through they invite all cultures.

How do you think that two such diverse cultures came to be and how could we get them to co-mingle so that there is an exchange of cultures so that both grow?.

Lets look if Marc and Angel Chernoff have a list that may cover the issue:

1.Appreciate the great people and things in your life.

2. Ignore other people’s negativity.

3.Forgive those who have hurt you.

4.Be who you really are.5.

5. Choose to listen to your inne view.

6.Embrace change and enjoy your life as it unfolds.

7. Choose your relationships wisely.

8. Recognise those who love you.

9. Love yourself too.

10. Do things your future self will thank you for.

12. Leave enough time for fun.

13. Enjoy the little things in life.

14. Accept the fact the past is not today.

15. Let go when you must.

Here are thw quotes and music:

You are not pulled up by the police every time you walk down the street.

If you are willing to seek them out.

Does slavery still exist in America under another name.

Black and Asiian lifes matter too.

Love is always the answer – Ragnar.

Because being black is cool, white men can’t dance.

Interculturalism offers that exact thing.

The KKK are a prime example of this.

We need more people to say this around the world and take on Interculturalism.

What do you mean I am privileged, I have worked hard.

So I have taken on melding these two areas of my life, I have no idea how. But I believe my personal koan; Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: nWhy; It’s up to us, Because we can, It’s our time woll make the difference in it happening.

Will you do what it takes to grow your relationship?

Posted on August 20, 2023 by Rod's World

We are all human beings. That means we have a relationship with every individual on the planet, some closer than others, but we are all part of the same oneness. We wake up, do our morning rituals, walk out the door and we enter the world of relationships. Don’t trust people, why are they staring at me, are my clothes sitting properly, all those thought that make true relationship impossible.

What can we do to shift this paradigm, the eternal chattering. mind of our lives. We slow our lives down and listen for what are our priorities versus doing busy stuff to fill in time, to. make more money to make. me feel that we have made it. There is nothing wrong with making money but without the right mindset there is no way it will bring you happiness.

One area. to spend some extended time on is discovering your purpose, your why. Without a mentor of mine said you are just doing stuff, billionaire or pauper. Lets have a look at a list that Marc and Angel Chernoff have created in this area:. Here’s 20 Things to start doing. in your day to day relationships:

Free yourself from negaitive people
Let go of those who are already gone.
Give people you don’t know a fair chance
Show everyone kindness and respect.
Accept people just the way they are.
Acknowledge others and cheer for them.
Be your iimperfectly perfect self..
Forgive people and move forward.
Do little things every day for others.
Pay attention to who your real friends are.
Always be loyal.
Stay in better touch with people who matter to you.
Keep your promises and tell the truth.
Give what you want to receive.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Allow others to make their own decisions.
Talk a little less and listen more.
Leave petty arguments alone.
Ignore unconstructive hurtful commentary.
Pay attention to your relationship with yourself.

Thanks, my Florida A listers.

Time for some quotes to put on your wall and some music to muse over:

Turn to the left , Fashion.

They are your keepers.

My favourite wife of a POTUS.

You are looking in the mirror of your life in your relationships.

You get back what you put out, Ying and Yang.

Love me some Osho first thing in the morning.

You do not take other peoples assets without asking or paying them for them.

This freed me up in my relationship with women when I realised they were not asking to be fixed but heard and held.

break down the walls, its bridge building time.

The Ancient Chinese wrote some good shit.

The wisdom of the immortal Maya Angelou.

I have recently come across one of these, I am loving life.

There are to many relationships living in this arena, walk away.

Human Beings are wonderfully complex souls, aren’t we.

We are approaching the end and my why: Love and Respect for All, Everybody included: Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, it’s our time. will appear.My purpose , to save the planet for my three year old grand niece Tawera.

Can I ever Trust Again?

Posted on August 8, 2023 by Rod's World

When did you first lose the trust that small children. have for their mothers? For some it may be wgen their parents divorced, a truly prevelant experience these days, or your Nonna and Poppa died, or a friend took their own life unexpectedly. i thought I had done enough “work” om this until my last relationship when bizarre sexual practices were part of the deal and it broke my trust of women.

We each have our version of it. I now think when there is an opportunity with a woman, what if I have to break my values again just for the realationship to continue. This makes me incredibly sad, a phycoligist friend of mine said I needed to do a course of therapy after I told her what Happened and what I had done because it was so outside normal values, especially mine of Love and Respect for All.

I have connected with someone I wouldlike to say to, You can trust nme totally But can I promise that, time will tell.

Marc and Angel have a list of things of 11 ways to become the personwe love:

Stop judging and appreciatebeauty within you.
Treat yourself the way you wanr others to treat you.
Care less about who you are to others.
Know your worth.
Son’t rush intinate relationships
Let go of those who are’nt really there.
Fotgive yourself and Othwrs.
Focus on the positive.
Believe in the person you are capable of being.
Work on goals you believe in.
Keep looking and moving straight forward.

Time for some quotes and tunes on Trusting each other.
