The ATWA Standard

 

The ATWA Standard

Perpetuating the Eternal Circulation of All Existence

We must work on ourselves and we ourselves must work. We must maintain the ecological balance and foundation of ideals bestowed upon us by the elders of ATWA. Within our own awareness, utilizing self discipline we are called to protect and uphold the ATWA standard,willing and able to accomplish difficult and thankless tasks. This work must be carried out for ourselves even if by ourselves, fearlessly in the spirit of efficiency. There can be no greater command than that which exist between ourselves and the tasks at hand. Embracing the universal struggle within the very essence of our entire  being, with all of our soul, and in the most glorious and exemplary manner, strive ever onward to live according to the eternal principles imparted to us by the ATWA elders. 

See to it that ATWA transcends the realm of empty rhetoric or intangible concepts and ignites an everlasting manifestation of revolutionary agronomy, thereby perpetuating the eternal circulation of all existence. Make invocations towards the ATWA oath daily and hold fast an ardent faith in the righteousness of this holy revolution against pollution. Utilize all of your powers of observation and perception towards the realization of the collective impulse of the ATWA community, a people united in destiny, working to redeem ATWA in a war for life. This destiny is inevitably bound to the prosperity or the destruction of the planet, we bind ourselves to the ATWA standard, and with perfect resolve we commit ourselves to the vision of and for the ATWA tribe. Know that it matters not how flexible your approach to the ATWA world view may be as long as your faith in ATWA matches that of your deeds.

Awhile back we had the experience of visiting Hendy Woods California State Park. The Majestic Redwoods at Hendy, like all Redwoods are something that must be viewed in real life to understand their truly impressive magnificence, no photo can capture their beauty. 

California Redwood

Hendy Woods like many state parks in California, is under threat to be closed, I encourage like-minded people to visit our state and national parks in a respectful manner and to find out the status of parks in your area, most parks gladly accept much needed donations and volunteer help with cleaning up trash, removing vandalism, helping with wildlife rescue, repairs etc.

Below are a few more photos from Hendy, if you visit one of the great historic parks in your area and would like to share your photos and impressions here on the blog, send them to orderofatwa@gmail.com

Charles Manson | Cause and Reason

Charles Manson

Cehere Knowu,

The winds blow from the corners of the universe in the gentle whispers of a love beyond the frail body of person…the credit or blame, cause or reason. 

Can you give one all the credit and none of the blame – or say one is to blame with none of the credit? Man who says why must have a reason. Is man the cause of all things or the reason? If you see bad and good, then is not your mind in two pieces? Can you know happy and not know sorrow? Or is it within you to be your own blame, excuse, cause, reason, why's and because? Are you because? If I'm the blame, am I then not also the reason? If I'm the cause am I not also the because and why and words in excuses for doing? If I am all the bad, can I know it and also have another side? 
Could you in truth say why and in turn say I am because and the reason cause as well as if I were to ask you why and you smiled and said to me all we really have is each other or nothing? Without you I have no cause, reason, excuses or purpose. You are the one that you see in me.

I'm a servant and witness of love, faith, truth and trust.

Easy, 

Charles Manson

Sandra Good | What's Holding Things Up?

Sandra Good (Blue)

‘‘Everybody is afraid of death - and that’s what’s holding things up. Nobody’s content right now with the world they’ve created yet their minds are all locked by a fear of death.’’ 

- Sandra Good (Blue) 

Charles Manson | I Know

I don't understand - I KNOW. There is no understanding, I made it up. I don't know - I know that also. I made knowing up. There is no need for knowing if you know - it all just is. I made everything up. Outside of is - God made IS up and that's everything but God being everything would have no lesson to learn, nothing to know + all being understood would be IS + IS WOULD BE PEACE :) no needs but ATWA 
SOUL NOW  Hay Hay.

Respecting Nature: Altai Mountain Shamans

Slava Cheltuev, is a Telengit community leader and shaman from the Russian Altai Mountain's high altitude Kosh Agach district. Whilst traversing Altai's sacred lands, he reflects on our 21st century world and stresses the importance of reviving vital traditional knowledge - age-old wisdom that instruct the respectful and harmonious relationship between local environment and human behavior. 

Broken Rainbow

'Broken Rainbow' is a 1985 documentary film about the government-enforced relocation of thousands of Navajo Native Americans from their ancestral homes in Arizona. The Navajo were relocated to aid mining speculation in a process that began in the 1970s and continues to this day.

Watch this excellent 90 minute documentary here:

Wolves of Chernobyl

In 1986 a nuclear meltdown at the infamous Chernobyl power plant in present-day Ukraine left miles of land in radioactive ruins. Residents living in areas most contaminated by the disaster were evacuated and relocated by government order, and a no-man’s land of our own making was left to its own devices.

In the ensuing 25 years, forests, marshes, fields and rivers reclaimed the land, reversing the effects of hundreds of years of human development. And surprisingly, this exclusion zone, or “dead zone,” has become a kind of post-nuclear Eden, populated by beaver and bison, horses and birds, fish and falcons – and ruled by wolves.

Access to the zone is now permitted, at least on a limited basis, and scientists are monitoring the surviving wildlife in the area, trying to learn how the various species are coping with the invisible blight of radiation.

As the top predators in this new wilderness, wolves best reflect the condition of the entire ecosystem because if the wolves are doing well, the populations of their prey must also be doing well. Accordingly, a key long-term study of the wolves has been initiated to determine their health, their range, and their numbers.

"Radioactive Wolves" examines the state of wildlife populations in Chernobyl’s exclusion zone, an area that, to this day, remains too radioactive for human habitation.
