Income Taxes

I know that a few people in class did not necessarily hear what the wanted to hear.  I want to clarify a few points for those listening to this audio recording.

If you are wanting to play their game, you will need to do a lot of research and studying.  I looked into walking this path years ago, but for me it took way too much energy.   This is the foundation behind me choosing to get out rather than play the game.  Either way, risks are involved as with anything in life.  Some people are good at thinking on their feet and dealing with confrontation, stressful situations, etc.  Some people are not so good at it.  In the end, as with anything in life, checking in with your heart to help you decide what to do is the only way to go.  I don’t ever want people to make choices without checking in with themselves.  All I can do is share my experiences and I pray that people ‘see’ and ‘hear’ the conversations in this class for what is being shared.  

As always, the choice always remains with the individual.  I hope this class helps.

UNDRIP, Decolonization & Reconciliation

We dived into the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Canada’s implementation through Bill C-15, which lead to the Constitution Act of 1982, Royal Proclamation of 1763, Treaty 6 of 1876 and a lengthy discussion of jurisdiction, decolonization and reconciliation. It was a heavy class, but well worth the effort to explore what the UN and Canada is not doing and where the true reconciliation will come from … each individual doing the work! I hope you enjoy the discussions. If you have questions or feel moved to share your thoughts, feel free to leave a comment below.

Colonization History & Love

Batchelor, Lawrence R., 1887-1961., Public domain

Tonight we reviewed the 2000+ year history of colonization in Europe and it’s migration to Turtle Island, along with some key moments that had a huge impact on the whole process. While we were discussing law forms between these fictional constructs, we got onto the Law of Love and that ended the class in a beautiful way. I hope you enjoy the class. Homework for class next week, so make sure you check out the beginning and end of the class for the assignment.

Defining Success

In this class we wrote out our obituaries to identify our core values.  At that point we had beautiful discussions about those values and using them to define our success in life rather than failing to meet the expectation of socially imposed values from family, communities, corporations and governments.  

The battery died on my phone, so I lost the last 10 minutes or so of the class.
