Planning The Celebrations

Bunjulung Nation via one of their tribes will be signing the papers that give acknowledgement of the traditional ownership of the land to the aborigines along with the shared custody of the parks on the New South Wales border. The total land they will now have joint custodianship totalling 6000 sq kms in the biggest deal the aborigines have been able to engineer in Australia to date. In celebration of the changes, a Bunjulung Nations Dance Troupe will tour Woodstock this year, with myself (it is really Spirit that will get the credit as it develops, as we become more aware of it) co-ordinating the event on their behalf at the Troupe's request. This is now official, and one will need to stay tuned to this blog site to see the developments along these lines for the story that is emerging, and the New Dreamtime that Has Begun! Maybe it will be Dreamtime take 2, or Dreamtime 2. This Dreamtime beginning though, we all will participate in eventually. Hopefully this will be the spark that gets the fire going in everyone, to see what is possible, and to begin a new model based on Unconditional Love, which is the Bunjulung Nations philosophy.

Woodstock was founded as Americas colony of the arts in 1902 from a couple of comunes. Woodstock became known and has in actual fact been an alternative community for over 100 years. This has been known to the world through the legendary Aquarius arts festival in August 1969. This festival itself did not take place in Woodstock but actually in Bethel some 50 miles from Woodstock.

Before Nimbin the centre for alternatives in northern NSW was Mullumbimby. A gathering to a sharing alternatives was organised/co-ordinated through the Australian Union of Students.(AUS) that was first to take place in Mullumbimby that the residents objected to. The Aquarius festival eventually took place May 1973 in Nimbin. Since 1973 Aquarius festival Nimbin has been branded as the Alternative capital of Australia.

It is time to return to sacred values, and to move things to a higher level where our own egos can no longer take the credit for the changes, and for us to genuinely see that we ARE spirit having an individual human experience that has awoken to this fact. Making the adjustments from seeing things just from a materialistic and physical body is a challenge, but if we remember to ground our energies to Mother Earth, then we can lessen the possibilities of our spirits dancing too much fantasies and illusions. It is important for us to keep the dream going for our reconnection from our fractionated existence, back to Mother for healing and want of regeneration stretching into infinity. Earth can then be given permission by us to return to the paradise that she has been all along, with new dimensions added.

I encourage each person reading this blog to begin to see that their are positive and viable alternatives that plan on things moving forward and that you will be on the cutting edge to bring this to the forefront. As this is Spirit time for this to happen, watch for the signs for each person to seize on the way through the maze of their paths towards personal power that shows how each may be imbued with Spirit power in the days to come.

The celebrations are almost at the door.......................

Three cheers,

State Government Finally Admits

The Bundjulung Nation is divided into a variety of aborigine tribes, but one of them scored big in the past few days. The mob I have been associated with, have finally received acknowledgement that the aborigines are the traditional owners of the land, and 19 parks have been now given joint sharing responsibility with this particular tribe of the Bundjulung Nation. Covering the equivalent of 6000 sq kms in area, this is a significant development in the history of making peace in this part of Australia, with the aborigines.

I am sure there will be much celebration from the news, now that the world has been told, that a state government finally has said that they are the traditional owners of the land, and actively done something to mark such a position. This sets the stage for the Bundjulung Nation to finally begin to shift things to their sacred spaces, and certainly will be interesting as to their developments over the next little while.

I will be meeting with some of the top people in this new regime of things to find out what is happening from their perspective and report back any significant developments where we all will be shifted due to their own changes. This country after all, as far as aborigines are concerned, the first place in the world to get the sun on the first day, and every day since.

Kudos to those having laboured so hard for this to happen, and cheers to the tribe for the victory obtained. With Unconditional Love as their philosophy, the developments from here will truly be interesting.
