Exploring the difference between rights and responsibilities is a profound concept when exploring how we can decolonize ourselves. Isaac Murdock made a public post a few days ago on Facebook, which spawned this discussion. You can connect with Isaac and his post on this link.
I encourage people to go visit Isaac as I like his teachings and I learn much from him. This class also had a lot of profound things being said, but I wanted to highlight something that Danielle said at the very end. Her words spawned an idea on how I can explain the principles I’m trying to express.
“We each have an innate response that either fight, flight, freeze or fawn, in the moment, but if you can catch yourself, if you can catch that split second where there is a choice to be made, if you can catch it, it is very, very very subtle, very muted, very quick and it goes by in a second, but if you can catch it there is always a choice. In certain moments of that experience, I was able to pinpoint certain moments of choice.” D.L.
Tonight’s class had profound implications on our interpretation of Natural Law, the Law of Love and how we implement that in our lives. The discussions as we explored the constitutional document brought up some important moral and ethical questions. In the end, this class was not about the constitutional document at all but ended up being a confrontation of our selves and the foundations of how we govern self and interact with others in our lives, whether they are a part of our tribe or still a part of the colonial empires.
Be prepared to be confronted with questions that most people have not contemplated but is important to ask, especially when exploring finding alternatives forms of governance to counter act the violence of the state and the world war that continues to rage on around us. How do we peacefully stand up as a witness to it all and testify to what we see? Well that depends on what moral and ethical foundations we stand on. Very tough questions were asked tonight and it may take months or years to fully explore what those answers look like.
Back in 2005 I graduated from the N.A.I.T. Project Management program, which also reinforced a lot of the principles I learned during recovery as well. I was moved to draw upon that training and the years of project management experience in the IT industry to help build stronger relationships within tribes. While the scope is different, the intent and spirit is very much the same.
I was talking to Claude and he also reminded me of the masculine and feminine energies involved in this process as well. When going through this journey, the beginning part involves strong feminine energies, where inclusion, involvement and making sure all is heard and the problems are flushed out and identified. The following processes involve masculine energy, where solutions are identified and targeted objectives are reached to bring about the results. This dance between the feminine and masculine is within each of us, but also between us as well and upon reflecting on this journey, this process is a good introduction on how the two energies can work together for the betterment of each individual and the whole tribe.
I also want to make it clear that my intent is to help facilitate this process for people to learn and integrate within their own tribes. I also believe it is our duty to hold space for one another along this path. While most are not currently willing to do this work, by walking the path and leading by example, it is my prayer that it inspires others to find that will and learn the skills, heal and participate in a way of life that is very different than the one currently facilitating our relationships and controlling our lives. By using techniques learned through tried and tested project management protocols in business, industry, etc, we can target those lessons to help us with our day to day relationship challenges as we explore decolonizing and working on rebuilding our lost tribes. This is done in the spirit of peace, decolonization and tribe building.
To break down the process, I surveyed the tribe to see where they are currently at. This can be done with 10 or 12 simple questions to see how people are feeling, allowing them to rate each one from 0 to 9.
Next step involves doing a root cause analysis. I used ideas from the project management course to do this, but this site comes close to what I did.
I then performed another survey of the group to prioritize the problems. By addressing the top 20%, we can address 80% of the problems (80:20 rule).
We then brainstorm solutions for those top 20% and then assign teams to work through the details of prioritizing and working on implementing those solutions.
Each team will then report back to the group and obtain a consensus on the solutions. When consensus is obtain, they solutions can then be implemented.
I will then perform another satisfaction survey to see if we actually improved the situation for the tribe. That is measured by an increase in satisfaction within the tribe.

White Walking Feather lives in a self sufficient manner and requires very little money for his own needs, however, bringing you his journey and explorations at this crucial time in history requires technology which is made possible by your generosity.
Due to the decolonization efforts of White Walking Feather, automated commerce is not possible. However, through the support of a friend, funds can currently be received through manual e-transfer by sending your payment to
white.walking.feather@gmail.com
Risks involved: This function may go away if the state or bank changes their policy or implements the mark.
Due to decolonization efforts of White Walking Feather, it is not possible to use the automated business commerce functions of PayPal. As a result, we are limited to personal gifts sent through PayPal, send to
white.walking.feather@gmail.com
Risks: The potential for PayPal to lock the account is present due to continued changes in financial and government regulations as a result of the globalization efforts and roll out of the mark and social credit scoring systems.
In an effort to decolonize our relationship with money, we are exploring alternatives like decentralized and distributed cryptocurrencies. We currently accept Bitcoin (address below), Steem (@wwf) and Hive (@wwf). As interest increases, we will welcome other decentralized and distributed crypto’s as well.
Risks: Central banks are getting into the Crypto game and we refuse to participate in their solutions. This arena is technical and complex, so there are barriers. Also requires government ID to create accounts on exchanges to convert fiat currency to crypto.
Precious Metals have been used as a currency for thousands of years. Most people comprehend the intrinsic value. The challenge is shipping metal which has additional costs. Regardless, this is an option and any gold or silver can be sent to:
White Walking Feather In Care Of PO Box 384 Larder lake, ON P0K 1L0
Risks: There is the potential that the postal service will lose the parcel. Availability of precious metals is also low due to recent events.
Here is a list of resources where you can purchase and trade precious metals: Kitco Metals (includes directory of local dealers accross Canada)
Silver Gold Bull Apmex Sprott Money
Precious metals are traded around the clock on international markets. The price you pay for physical metals at a commercial dealer will be based on this price but will include a premium which allows dealers to make a living and will often be reflective of the availability of the product you are requesting.
Here are charts of the spot prices of Silver and Gold.
For many people, physical cash is the only way to go. The challenge of running a website accessible by people all around the world is the physical transportation. Snail mail is still a valid option and cash payments (CDN or USD) can be sent to:
White Walking Feather In Care Of PO Box 384 Larder lake, ON P0K 1L0
Risks: There is the potential that the postal service will lose the parcel. Availability of cash will also disappear when banking institutions move to a cashless society. This option may not be viable for much longer.
There still remains some anonymous methods through gift cards and pre-paid credit cards. Gift cards that are currently acceptable is: Peavey Mart, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, Rona, Independent grocery store (President Choice). Pre-paid credit cards are also accepted. We are currently looking into a pre-paid card that can be loaded from anywhere. Until then, gift and credit cards (CDN) can be sent to:

Risks: There is the potential that the postal service will lose the parcel. Vendors may lock out the cards without notice. Difficult to support local vendors using gift cards issued by large corporations.
Barter is an ancient tribal custom that has been around for thousands of years. The challenge with barter is it requires more effort to facilitate the exchange and the things one individual has, may not be what the other needs. Please write to white.walking.feather@gmail.com for an updated list of needs that you can choose from. We can then make arrangements to complete the transaction.
Risks: Takes time to complete the trade. Barter often deals with commodities which are hard to transport. Needs are shifting over time, so the list of needs is constantly changing.
Fiat Currency issued by Central Banks are a monopoly and we need competition. We are currently exploring www.community-exchange.org as one of many other alternatives that we can use to facilitate exchange with one another that provides alternative currencies that we can use. If you have other suggestions, we are open to exploring them as well.
Risks: Challenging for people to let go of their dependency on their idea of “money”. Currently there is a low participation rate with alternatives. Governments hate competition, so there is a risk that the alternatives will be attacked.
Training in the Pacem Arts can be challenging physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It is unlike most other training any of us has done before. As such, it require that each individual accept 100% responsibility and accountability for themselves when engaging in this training. Violence, whether covert or overt, will not be tolerated.
It is also important to know that I AM NOT a lawyer, accountant, financial advisor, therapist, psychiatrist, medical doctor, agent, employee, citizen, slave, serf, person or any other word descriptive of any title, profession or expert. I AM that I AM and I wave my right to be represented as a person or any of these terms defined by others or the state. Everything shared on this site is me sharing my own experiences with you. I encourage everyone to do their own research, apply critical thinking and that you make up your own mind. The Pacem Arts is all about accepting 100% responsibility and accountability for ones life and forgiving others should mistakes be made or a trespass has occurred. That starts here. Participating in the Pacem Arts requires that each individual acknowledge these boundaries and hold themselves and others to the highest standards of love, peace, freedom, prosperity, ethics and morality.
As in the martial arts, there are specific boundaries and protocols in place to ensure we don’t hurt one another. The knowledge obtained here, if used without spiritual guidance and awareness or emotional health and intellectual integrity, can cause harm to you or others. There is also risks involved as we challenge those who claim authority over us. They can be unpredictable, but with healthy work in the Pacem Arts, these risks can be significantly mitigated. This work requires physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance, awareness, health and integrity. Anger, frustration, revenge, greed, lust for power, control or other colonial works of the flesh or violent behaviours have no place within the Pacem Arts. That sort of behaviour will not be tolerated and strict boundaries are in place to confront those who attempt to engage in those sort of behaviours.
About White Walking Feather
White Walking Feather (aka rob in the page family) is an individual whom dedicates his time towards writing books, blogging, teaching and facilitating healing circles while doing his best to live off grid and explore his relationship with Mother Earth. Some people have also called him a knowledge keeper and an elder.
For the first 30+ years of his life, he struggled with depression, addictions and multiple suicide attempts. Despite numerous visits to psychiatric wards in the hospital, it was not until he hit rock bottom that he decided to surrender and try a new approach to life. It is this surrender that helped him heal, learn new communication skills and completely change his approach at life.
These new skills turned his life around and he found success in his IT career, managing projects and dedicating himself to training in the art of Tae Kwon Do where he reached 3rd Dan Black belt and ran his own school for a couple years. As a result of his healing journey, he realized in 2005 that his relationship with the state and other corporate entities was not healthy as they were extremely abusive and violent. This started him down a spiritual path to reconnect with Creator and Mother Earth. In 2007 he moved off grid with his family where they build earthships, gardens, a greenhouse and took every measure they could to be free, independent and healthy.
On April 15, 2008 he declared peace and refused to provide service to the Queen and her lords that control her feudal empire. Since then, he has been invited to speak at public events, online radio shows and was featured in Ben Steward’s third film UNGRIP. He has written a book, released in 2015 and is currently in the middle of writing his second one. For years he has also shared his thoughts freely on social media and blogs. In late 2019 he decided to open up a school as he recognized there are no well rounded training methods to help people navigate the complex web of lies and deceit that surrounds modern social constructs. As a result, the Pacem Arts was created with the intent to utilize training methods learned through the Martial Arts but dedicated to the Pacem Arts instead.
