They are from all over the world, and so is interculturalism. Its up to us, because we can, Its our time. Love and respect for all, everybody included. To the 164 countries and 43,000 readers, until next time.
I discovered that I have not written a blog since September last year
I was in a mental health unit for three of them, and I thought I might be there
for a week. How wrong can one be?
It was like entering a vortex of having everything that mattered to me cease to exist matter int in my life. Or
more likely I decided somewhere that
I didn’t matter in other people’s lives, as a couple of people had told me
recently and it got to me more than I thought. The way I reacted to it, I would not recommend to an
anyone because it is like entering a psychotic field and you tell yourself all the things that are not working in your life versus celebrating the simple things that we do on a day to day basis.
One of the things I stopped celebrating was writing blogs. I know this is not the same. as my previous blogs, but I will get there. I have not worked out how to put up quotes and videos but I’m about to have a go:
Here is a quote that is relevant where I am on my journey at the moment, I am battling the need for certainty versus what the mind throws at me. Lets try a video
So this is my first attempt at a blog which WordPress kept only allowing one line in a paragraph I Am not balanced in my life patterns to share my all the things that popped up in this six month journey, but I am celebrating writing something. Thanks to the people who kept reading I am an Interculturalist. I aim to write two a week, I can’t promise what the subject matter will be, but this is much larger than I thought it would be
A friendship that meant a lot to me ended when I recently received a voicemail stating that I did not make her feel happy when we were together. I have recently given up this low vibration way of life for one where people are authentic about where they are in their lives. I acknowledged that I was sad and advised the person that doing it via voice mail was as weak as opium. Eight hours later, she sent me another voicemail. I declined the offer
I want to be happy lives at the consciousness level of Life By Me. Where we struggle day to day to be something we are not, the personal development mantra of be happy and life will be wonderful, denies all the other emotions . I am realizing in conversations with more and more people that I no longer can live in this false universe versus one where people live a life of authenticity.
What do Marc and Angel have to say about this via one of their wonderful lists:
12 Lies to stop Telling Yourself:
I don’t have enough yet to be. happy.
My dreams are impossible.
I am stuck with people who hurt me.
My failed relationships were a waste of time.
Things will. never get better.
Failure is. bad.
Great things will come to me effortlessly.
My past is 100% indicative of my future.
I never need to meet anyone new.
I can’t live without those who are gone.
I’m not ready because I’m not good enough yet.
I have way too much to lose
We now move onto what society has said about being authentic over the years:
This is a life worth living.
Take the steps and have these things in your life.
.
You are the star in your own movie, no one leses.
Those of us who decide to do this are way way cool.
Cry Freedom.
To show up and be real, Yes Please.
Love is always the answer, Ragnar.
You are the George Lucas of your life, Make a great movie, you deserve it.
And who I am is authentic.
The cost of giving up your real life.
The desire to always be happy is a Personal. Development disease.
This is not an easy path to travel, be brave
Why I totally respect my new. mentor, Peter Sage.
How often in your life have you done these things and provided leadership?
So, my life is transforming as I hang around. I nearly died last week , when my brakes failed. My reaction was a thought, I nearly died, not a week long mental tirade about how it was unfair.
My purpose in life is to save the planet for my three year-old grand niece Tawera. I was at a documentary where the producers answered a Q and A. I asked a water biologist if Tawera had a chance of reaching 69, my current age. She also has two teenage children. Her answer, if we keep putting off what we need to do, probably not. but she had hope that the new generations were waking up and would do what it takes.
I have no idea how to do this. I live my life from my koan: Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, It’s our time. Do not think governments are going to do it, they survive to be in power.
To my readers in 160 countries, do yourself a favor and enroll in Unlimited Mindset’s 12 month training at PeterSage.com You can thank me at the stage when you understand what it is doing to your authenticity..
Can listening to your mentor speak for an hour change your life at 69 years of age.. You bet your sweet bippy it can.
The subject: The four levels of consciousness which I wrote about quite recently, but as. I enter their power further and further, my life looks and feels so different that I just had to share the journey with someone, so you, whoever reads this are the chosen. few..
The four levels are:
Life does it to me. AKA Victimhood
Life By Me: Hard Yakka and struggle, a life of boring certainty.
Life Through Me; nUncertainty, massive mistakes, remarkable results, worth waking up in the morning for.
Life As Me: Think MLK, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama, something to aim for. you may be killed by the lower levels because you scare them so much.
Enoug said, give level three a try, it will interrupt your life so much in unexpected way. My fuse box blew up, We the flat occupants had to pay for the new fusebox after our electricity supplier turned the power off. We did it, they turned up 8. hours later at 11.15 pm to restore it, now thats uncertainty, big time. Lucky for Smart phone data and a moxy M1 Powerbook.Yew.

Peter, if you read this, I believe that you and Marc and Angel are meant to do good work together, their two books are manuals for life.
Onto the quotes and tracks:
God, She has a fine sense of humour.
We need more of these type of people in our life.
From one of the classic writers of the Twentieth Century.
Can Peters wonderful work cure this, I think so.
Thank goodness for that.
Uncertainy, one of our superpowers. Yew!!!
Want a secure life, do this.
The cost of certainty, an unfulfilled life.
Time to enter mystery school, didn’t they make a film about that.
Philosophy 191.
Boom, Boom, Boom, etc. etc.
The curly headed one, he changed the world.
Not sure if I agree with this, maybe my fellow USM students, but 90 percent of the planet, nada.
What a great songs Vincent. is, someone as beautiful as you gets me every time.
An hour of songs, Oops, well you will have a soundtrack for your morning exercise.
Back to why I do this. My vision: Save the planet for my three year old grand niece, Tawera. How? Love and respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, it’s up to us. Do I know how to do it, Fuck no, thats what uncertainty gives you..
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.
What does it take to trust the netire universe, a noble task?
Thats why we are in each others life at the moment.
The universe was created to bless us and support us to have a wonderful life.
But the. universe requests that you put in some effoty to.
Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included : Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, It’s our time.
May you find your beautiful lan earlier than later.,
The universe knows that you need to be patient at certain times.
Don’t fight what the universe has planned for you, Its quite painful to do so.
Its such a perfect day, I’m glad I soent it with you.
Be careful of your thoughts, she is listening and will provide what you ask for.
She is more and more on mine, because I have been am being transformed by Peter Sage. PeterSage.com, check him out.
And I feel like letting go, what will turn up.
Enjoy your time on the unierse, the universe is not in a hurry, ehy are you?
The more you learn the art of surrender the faster tou will realise your dreams, It begins in the heart.
Back to the words. I wrote this blog after listening to a peter Sage workshop on creating yout reality. I have Peter to thank for transforming my thought patterns at the tender age of 69. Go to PeterSage.com and check out his wonderful life altering distinctions..
My koan for life is Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, It’s our time.
Thankyou to the readers who have read my blog in 160 countries around the world. We are transforming the possibility on the planet one read at a time.
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
VOICE.GOV.AU
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.
I was born Rodney Paul Williams. I am now 68, I am retired, I am a blogger and I make chai for the ecstatic dance community in Naarm/Melbourne. These are my current labels. I have had many over a quite interesting visit to the planet. A question, how have your labels affected you in reaching your childhood goals, there would be a lot of fire chiefs and astronauts except for them.
We also label ourselves: I am shy, I am not enough, i am ugly, I am slower than them at reaching my abilities. Not very positive but we are trained by society to do this, WTF..
what about I am glorious, I am captivatingly beautiful, I an uber intelligent, I am a world leader, we don’t hear these as often. My mentor Peter Sage states these labels are the greatest dream killers on the planet. How would life be if we just existed on the planet enquiring into what I am moment to moent, imagine that level of freedom.
What do Marc and Angel have to say about this in the form of a list:
Never let a bad day make you feel like you have a bad life.
Tell the negativity committee that meets inside your head to sit down and shut up.
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, It’s about learning to dance on the rain.
You look the best when you wear your smile. There is no beauty like the one that comes from inside you.
Moving on doesn’t mean forgetting, it doesn’t mean you coose happiness over hurt.
Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness.
Someone else is happy with far less than you have.
You are always free to do something that makes you smile.
Talk about your blessings more than your problems.
Stop looking at what you have lost, so you can see what you have.
Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it for themselves.
Just because it didn’t last forever, doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth your while.
If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.
Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful.
The more you love your decisions, the less you need others to love them.
A bad attitude is like a flat tire, you can’t get very far until you change it.
Marc and Angel and peter seem to speak from the same prayer book, don’t you think, time to move on:
;
Straight out of the IMS workbook.
From one of the Jazz greats, a pearl of wisdom.
Childbirth, the world’s greatest label transformation, Parenthood.
I believe this is why Peter talks about challenging yourself on a daily basis, the art of de-labelling.
Be careful how you judge.
I Am with nothing but nothing after it but an enquiry to journey upon, bliss.
One of the greatest white NBA players ever puts his bobs worth into the discussion.
The sisters will get this before the men.
How many bad guys or gals are there in your life, Look again please.
A cheap and nasty way out of doing the real work of connection.
And of course we have to have at least one Oprah quote.
The labels for this are changing dramatically, some people don’t like it.
That is how children learnt to hate from you.
Do not fuck with a mother and her child.
Back to the words. I have written 600 of these, over 5 million words on possibility, not a cent received. I am into transformation like Peter. You can’t take money with you. Actions that make adifference, that is an entirely different matter.
Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, it’s our time. This is my war cry for Interculturalism. I have a Facebook group for it: https://www.facebook.com/groups/183421768519278. Join us merry group of pranksters, it will make a difference to your day.
Until we meet again, my friends in the 160 countries out there.
I am contemplating being in Love. It is something I have not felt for 30 years, it is wondrous and disturbing all at the same time. At 68 years old I never expected it to occur again I was ensconced in my single life, cruising towards eldership when she walked into my life.
Is love the feeling that entered my body when her energy entered mine, I could not stop it happening if I wanted to, I don’t by the way or is it a hope that there is someone out there to fulfil my unmeet needs. Lets see what my friends Marc and Angel Chernoff have to say about it:
A silhouette of a human being stands before you, Perhaps a friend, perhaps a lover, perhaps a perfect stranger. They need you to connect with them, they need you to share this moment.
They need you to:
Smile without hesitation.
Give without expectation.
Comfort without lying.
Guide without misleading.
Forgive without resentment.
Rest without judgement.
Notice without critiquing.
Appreciate without comparing.
Listen without interruoting.
Question without objection.
Challenge without mocking.
Consider withut doubting.
Discuss without critisizing.
Time for some quotes and songs:
can’t believe we went to the same place for 8 years.
And we deserve each other, truly and deeply.
hat is who we are, just the acknowledgement of the last one to go.
aulo certainlt improves our lives with this statement.
Love is a Battlefield, If you let it be, we won’t.
It’s just the beginning.
It is unique, never seen before.
I am learning to get better at this because of you.
had known you eight years, WTF.
It was when we hugged for too long that night.
Love is always the answer – Ragnar.
Life becomes truly magnificent.
Thank you, I had no idea that this much soul was possible.
We are definitely changed, nw just to express it.
Back to the words, why is this blog called I am an Interculturalist. Simply because I have a. 8 billion person target to touch them all with Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: Why – It’s up to Us, Because we can, It’s our time..
You may have never heard the name Peter Sage, but believe me it is worth your time to do some research om who this man is and his inspiring mind mastery 12 month training. i met Peter in a strange way. I do online free summits, sleep deprivation, health improvement and wealth summits, all free of course. There was a Wealth Summit coming out of South Africa with Deepak. Chopra and jack Cornfield as the celebrities. I never thought the Age pensioner, with a $1.33 bank balance would meet a billionaire Grant Cardone and Peter, a multi millionaire , both of who I had never heard of.before I mistakenly spent two days commenting to the host and panellists.
As all good summits we were offered thousands of dollars worth of training for minimal amounts and I knew after hearing Peter that I would change my financial circumstances to find the US $49 a month because his simple but powerful distinctions were what I had been looking for all of my 68 years, having spent $100,000 on some of the most esoteric training available.
One of the many distinctions was around who was I as my life was made up of labels. I am Rod, I am 68, I write blogs and I make chai for ecstatic dances., but what would I say after I am? Here is my go at it: I am an Interculturalist, my ethos in life is Love and Respect for all, Everybody Included because It’s up to us, Because we can, it’s our time.
Time for some Marc and Angel wisdom:
1.Spend more time with those who make you smileand less with thosewho you feel pressured to impress.
2.Laugh at stupid jokes, Apologise, Tell someone how much they mean to you, Its the small moments that make life grand.
3. Life is way more enjoyable when you stop trying to be cool and simply focus on being yourself.
4. Complaining is like slapping yourself for slapping yourself. It doesn’t solve the problem, It just hurts you. more.
5. Learn to adjust the sails of your life to unpredictable lwinds, while keeping your focus clear on your destination and keep sailing until you get there.
6. Freedom is the greatest gift. Self-sufficiency is the greatest freedom.
7. If you want something in your life you’ve never had, You’ll have to do something you’ve never done.
8. Your health is your life, keep up with it. Get an annual check-up.
9. Living a life of honesty creates peace of mind, and peace of mind is priceless. Period, Don’t be dishonest and don’t put up with people who are.
10. Forgiving yourself is far more important (and difficult) than getting others to forgive you.
11. There are few joys in life that equal a good conversation, a good read, a good walk, a good hug, a good smile, or a good friend.
12. Laughter is the best medicine for stress. Laugh at yourself often. Find the humour in whatever situation you are in.
13. Everything that happens in life is nether good nor bad. It just depends on your perspective.
14. You’re not alone. Everyone has problems. Some people are just better at hiding them than others.
If you are interested in the work of marc and Angel Chernoff here is the link to their site: https://www.marcandangel.com/
The last line is important, if they do that, run and don’t look back.
With the light, you have been through the dark as well, they travel together.
You can only fit in by being you.
It is always enough, stop chasing being someone else.
With being yourself comes beauty and gratitude, nice.
Over to you, home boys and gorls.
One of the rockabilly greats.
POTUS Abraham Lincoln stated true to himself, lost often, then became the most powerful man in the world, unfortunately we shot him.
Actually we all are, Own it , dear people
Thanks to Peter Sage, I am getting there.
And I am colourful.
All is welcome in I Am.
Typo I think, leads should be lets.
I want to be me, what was that classic song from back in the day.
So on this journey of deleting the labels, I have had some interesting conversations. I told one woman at a party, I was not an easy conversation, because I did not put party faces on and would she like to walk home in the rain and I would give her the best yoni massage she had ever had. She looked at me strangely , pit her party face on and left very quickly, maybe next time.
I love this concept of deleting all labels and just hanging out in I Am, it takes commitment and your identity hangs on with a viciousness you would not believe.
I am an Interculturalist: Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included because its up to us, Because we can, its our time.
Until next time , my beloved readers in 160 countries out there in possibility land.
I have had an interesting year, Met a billionaire and multi millionaire. Dropped 20K I could not really afford, and been locked up as an involuntary patient in a mental health unit as consequences of the first two things for four weeks, Once in, it is not so easy to get out.
I , through these mistakes, learnt a lot, including the acronym GOOP, the Good Opinion of Other People and the deadly effect it has on you achieving your dreams. I thank Peter Sage, the creator of this distinction for altering how life occurs for me now.
I also am enquiring into two other distinctions,Your opinion is not the truth, Ever and Listen, you do not learn when you are speaking.. The opinion one was described to me in the following manner: Opinion lives on one side of the Universe and truth the other. our task, this time in , is to align them as closely as possible. Unfortunately most humans give up at a very early age on this quest, this is when cinversation dies. His Holiness I credit the third one to, one of my favourite wise men. Do you think he was on a camel that night in Bethlehem?
