Greetings again, friends,
This is a notice that the regular Tuesday meetings are changing drastically. No longer to be held every Tuesday, the idea has changed in a very positive and welcoming way. Without having an exact date yet we will hold the first event within the second week of June.
The name I've devised is: Town Hall Co-operative. Here's the idea:
Similarly to the Evolver/Zeitgeist Convergence that happens on the last Tuesday of every month (and is always an awesome time!) the plan is to gather speakers and presenters to share their ideas, plans, projects, intentions, and love, in an open forum manner; meaning, presenters are encouraged to be ready for and open to contributions from the audience. Having a dynamic exchange between everyone involved can often lead to the development of entirely novel concepts and feelings brought forth.
After the presenters and audience have shared their ideas and feedback, the group will transition into a collaborative jam, open to all who wish to participate in making music or simply enjoy it. Some friends of mine are eager to help, one an experienced electronic music producer, the other a skilled percussionist; so, a basic tempo will be provided by the rhythmic stylings of the former, and general co-ordination will be ushered by the latter. All instruments are welcome, with microphones provided for those quieter ones. Fortunately, the acoustics in the Distillery are pretty awesome anyways, and would facilitate an awesome Jam space.
This idea is very much still in the works and I would appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks for your time,
Marty

Town Hall Tuesday, May 1st, 2012
Greetings again, friends.
This update is an invitation to our weekly gathering at The Distillery (615 7th Ave SW) on Tuesday, May 1st, 2012. We've been having lively discussions at our open forum on a wide variety of topics, this post acting as introduction to the upcoming idea I propose for discussion.
As cancer has become a major source for suffering that affects everyone on a wide social level, I feel inclined to address it from multiple perspectives. The failure of the medical establishment to correctly identify and neutralize the condition has led to many competing ideas. Through my research around the topic I've found many promising leads in alternative approaches and even more naysayers that poo-poo at everything that isn't surgery, radiation, or pessimism.
I would here like to name some authors, doctors, scientists, natural philosophers, inventors, unnamed shamen, and 'laymen,' alike, who've taken different paths to arrive at the same goal, curing cancer. To be sure, the effectiveness varies between individuals and therapies and most evidence is anecdotal at best; however, the intention, commitment, and clear communication of people who've overcome diversity in the face of death speak more loudly to me than the limited scope of surgery, radiation, and pessimism. These are some of the perspectives to be entertained next Tuesday:
Max Gerson and his daughter Charlotte Gerson, Harry Hoxsey, Royal Raymond Rife, Wilhelm Reich, Stanislaw Burzynski, Louise Hay, and many Amazonian shamen who've connected with the land, plants, and spirits. To bring it all back around to our current cultural climate, cannabis is a valuable tool in the challenge of understanding and curing cancer. A perfect example of this is Rick Simpson, a man who provides tangible facts and testimonial surety that cannabis extract has cured him of his skin cancer.
Well that's an astoundingly slight introduction to the vast world that is alternative cancer treatments. To pursue the conversation further, join us down at The Distillery this Tuesday.
Peace and best wishes,
M
P.S.: Bring a USB flash drive for information sharing in order pursue this research further!

Town Hall Tuesday, April 17th 2012
Greetings all,
Tuesday's regular meeting at The Distillery (615 7th Ave SW) proceeds this week (from 6- 9 pm), with a discussion about perspectives. To begin, I propose to discuss the basic faculties of organizing a perspective at all, creating world-views, as it were. This will mainly focus around culture and individuality, language and communication. By defining what a society means the people involved are enabled to consciously and conscientiously direct the unfoldment of the common story. The next part is assessing what is to be utilized in the forming of societal parameters. In our current cultural climate, the Internet affords us vast potentialities for accessing information, whether correct or not, in an entirely disinterested and neutral manner. With great stores of knowledge, practical and philosophical, there is more than sufficiently enough new and interesting stuff with which to fill our proverbial boots.
I then would like to go over some various forms of file sharing that facilitate this process of expanding awareness, including how to access the library that I've compiled. If time and interest permits, I would like to present a novel hypothesis that I came up with having researched many different aspects of this experience we call life. Ending with a general discussion, I foresee an interesting and entertaining evening.
Peace and Love,
M

Greetings all,
Tuesday's regular meeting at The Distillery (615 7th Ave SW) proceeds this week (from 6- 9 pm), showing a documentary on a very lively issue. Nassim Haramein's work has come up often in the Evolver discussion, and we'll be showing his most up-to-date film The Black Whole. This feature explains the most fundamental aspects of Haramein's theories while connecting them to the prevalent views of mainstream physics in understandable language with excellent CG diagrams.
From a perspective based in the direct experience of life, The Black Whole presents a holo-fractal-graphic model of reality that is most succinctly displayed in the Sacred Geometric pattern called the Flower of Life. This inherent pattern is not only apparent in the functions of life, but also in the conditions that allow life to flourish, according to Haramein. In fact, the mathematics appear to portray the structure of reality itself as all dimensions can be expressed by the same fractal ratios at any and every resolution.
Please join us in watching the video, followed by a group discussion about the ideas presented.
A quick tease:

Welcome to the Update
Welcome to another update of An Occult Forum. Meeting weekly at The Distillery Pub (615 7th Ave SW) this Tuesday event continues at 6:30 pm.
The past few weeks were very eventful for me but of little note to this endeavour, except, that I believe I've stirred up some significant interest in a regular gathering for sharing ideas. This coming Tuesday should prove a good turn-out with some very interesting topics for discussion.
Today I attended a seminar offered by Dean Clifford, a man with extensive experience and research into the structure, origin, and machinations that are the legal systems of today. Having researched these topics myself through many various perspectives, I've found Dean's approach very succinct and to the point when addressing the role of the government in daily life. The clarity he provides inspires me to persevere, standing in my integrity and equity, living a responsible human life.
The ideas I'll be presenting Tuesday night will focus on the nature of rights and the meaning of consent. The most fundamental social structures are based on confusion, deception, and often outright lies; this most certainly need not be the case. When we ask some pressing questions that typically remain under the radar of general consciousness, important issues crawl from out the shadows and into the light of our attention.
How is it that contracts come about and who has the right to enforce them?
Should services be provided at the threat of violence for non-compliance?
By what mechanism does the state interact with living human beings, and is there remedy to the illness that is corporatism?
Am I living my life for myself or the collective?
Do we prefer to operate under the presumption of incapacity, or extend our imaginations to the limitless potential that is our inherent right?
These ideas and more are on the docket for discussion. After a quick introduction to some basic concepts surrounding these questions, a group discussion can develop naturally. I look forward to an excellent conversation and contributions of new perspectives I have yet to encounter
Peace

Introduction to Critical Thinking
Here's the presentation I made last week to introduce my idea to the public.
It's a pretty awkward sort of thing, but its me and I stand by it:

In the works
Greetings reader,
Posts have been made to Evolver and Zeitgeist as to the happenings with this project:
http://www.evolver.net/user/capmtripps/project/occult_forum
http://www.zeitgeistcalgary.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=55&func=view&catid=7&id=1266#1266
The word is out; weekly meetings at The Distillery (615 7th Ave SW) as per described in the previous post and the links above.
Next Tuesday I will be discussing the idea of Global Consciousness, the Internet (spell-check insists on capitalizing the word), file-sharing, and expanding perspectives. My aim is to facilitate access to potentially mind blowing ideas. See you there.
Bring a USB data stick!!
