The Perilous Navigation of Covert Violence

Posted on July 4, 2020 by White Walking Feather

It happens in the bedroom, family room, board room, court room, social media walls, wall street, on the streets and even in parliament. Covert violence is everywhere and most times the abuser is not even consciously aware that they are being violent. The abused usually don’t figure it out for years, but when they do it takes many years and attempts to escape.

The sad reality of this violent cycle is that the abusers have been abused themselves. When we are confronted with violence, stress or other dangers, the typical response is usually to fight, flight, freeze or fawn. While some people will try to run away or end up freezing in their tracks, it is the fighters and those who flip sides to become an allies of their abusers that in turn end up being abusers and continuing the cycle. The problem as I see it, is that even those that run away or freeze will eventually turn to fight or fawn if the violence continues for a long period of time.

My natural tendency is towards flight. I worked hard throughout my childhood to avoid confrontation, violence or anything that I felt is a danger to me. Yet I still ended up being an abuser, overcome with shame, guilt, frustration, pain, anxiety, loneliness, depression, addictions and even suicide attempts. No matter what people did to intervene, there was no way I was going to hear what they were saying. I was convinced that people out there was the issue, not me. No amount of intervention was going to change my mind.

I had to hit rock bottom and face the ultimate choice before I was ready to surrender and really start to listen to what others were saying. What was that choice? Change or die.

I write about this at length in my book and in my posts. Today I want to outline what covert violence looks like and how it feels as it seems to still penetrate every aspect of our lives. Until we start to confront these behaviours, we will continue to struggle in our efforts to find peace in our lives. This is not a comprehensive list, but I hope that it helps bring awareness so that when we set our boundaries, we can include these behaviours in our protocols for self governance and healthy relationships.

Laughing

Laughter is a healthy expression when we are having fun and confronted with something that is funny. However, laughter is also a covert violent approach to mock people and attempt to dismiss how others feel or view scenarios. Abusers will use this behaviour to intimidate people to back down from their confrontation or position. It is used to belittle or rebuke others, raising themselves in status while lowering others at the same time. When in a serious conversation and somebody starts laughing at others, this can often be a covert violent attempt act against others.

The Laundry List

In a healthy relationship, people would discuss an issue and work through it prior to moving onto another issue. Within that relationship, they may also wait several days to make sure that everyone has processed it properly before moving on. However, some people like to bring up multiple issues and continue to bring up issues in order to overwhelm the others and control the conversation. This technique allows the abuser to feel superior or justified in their position as a list of evidence to overwhelm the guilty is presented. This approach is not about healing but about judgement and guilt, a covert violent technique to shut down the other individual and win an argument through overwhelming his / her opponent.

Speed talking

This is a technique that is often used with the laundry list, where the abuser talks quickly and non-stop in order to overwhelm his / her victim and make sure there is no time or space for others to respond or confront them on their behaviour. Speed talking is also an intellectual technique that can suppress others by presenting so much information that it confuses the conversation as there is too much information to consciously keep in ones mind, let along discuss in a healthy way. The confusion is magnified as the topics start to blur into one another and any response is met with more information to drown any comments or views by other people.

Assumptions

Abusers will often make assumptions and then sabotage any attempt by others to clarify the situation. If successful, their assumption then stands as fact, making their position correct and everyone else wrong. This is an attempt to make people feel stupid or wrong, even though it is done through manipulation or dismissal of what other people know, think or feel. This allows the abuser to then label others, often using labels that carry social stigma in order to control, shame or guilt others to support their position and join in on suppressing those who are being attacked by the abuser.

Being the victim

If the abuser feels like he / she is not winning, they will then start to pout or act out in other ways to manipulate others into treating them like a victim. This is a tricky and dangerous behaviour as depression, treats of suicide and other manipulations are often used to get people to pay attention or take action. If people don’t, then they may lash out violently by screaming, yelling, name calling or other manipulations to force compliance and look after them. This is an approach that I often took during the 20+ years I was struggling in my life. It is a dangerous approach as I was a victim too, but because I was not consciously aware, I worked on people’s empathy to manipulate them. I was not interested in healing or confronting my own shit, but instead I used it to gain favor, attention and affection.

Gaslighting

Through psychological manipulations, abusers attempt to overwhelm their victims to the point where they start to question their own sanity. Highly intelligent abusers will use their intellect to make others feel stupid and surrender to their mastery and superiority. This site has a good list of what the 11 Warning Signs of Gaslighting are all about. Being consciously aware of these signs can be very helpful when recognizing covert violence, especially in sacred spaces where this type of behaviour must not be permitted.

No Win scenario

The abuser must win at all costs and he / she is willing to say or do anything to ensure of that win. To them, this is a win / lose situation and any loss would devastate their position and result in a loss of power or standing within the relationship. As such, they are prepared to lie, beg, yell, intimidate or act out in any way possible to win! Even a condescending tone of voice or look on his / her face is enough to intimidate others to back off and let them win. This puts everyone in a no win scenario and completely blocks the group or couple from healing, being real and feeling acknowledged, loved and supported.

Sacred Space works very differently

While I recognize that abusers need healing too, I also must acknowledge that the healing cannot take place until they have surrendered and dedicate their lives towards self healing, improvement, forgiveness and making significant changes in how they behave, think and express themselves. This is currently rare, but it does happen and this school will hold space for those that have done the surrender and are getting to work.

However, sacred space must be safe for people to do this work and if an individual resorts to these type of violent behaviours, whether overt or covert, they will be removed from the circle. Boundaries are a core and fundamental tool that must be used when dealing with violent people. It does not matter whether it is government, corporations, co-workers, family, friends or lovers. Boundaries are key and within the Sacred Heart Circle, we learn about what those boundaries look like, help people explore their boundaries, set them up and support them in their efforts to be safe and secure.

Within this space, we use a specific protocol as most of us use covert violence due to modern social constructs making this type of behaviour not only acceptable but encouraged. As such, we slow down the conversation within the circle. The heart works very differently than the brain and if things are going fast, chances are good that the brain is working to express itself rather than working hard to connect with the heart and express what it is feeling. This is, by far, the most difficult step for abuser or victim to take in their healing journey.

We accomplish this by asking pointed yet gentle questions to help the individual explore their heart, behaviours, words, assumptions, etc so that they can find their heart space, connect to it and start the healing journey towards self love, forgiveness, freedom and feeling supported along the way. It is critical that we give the individual time to explore those questions, so there is often silence as exercises like this is so new and foreign to most people. When conversations go fast, it bypasses the heart and we want to avoid that within this space. By asking questions, we also don’t make assumptions or invoke other manipulations to force people through this process.

We also encourage personal sharing, where people share their story and by being vulnerable, we can start to relate to one another in emotionally intimate ways. This too is a skill development that helps us to connect with self rather than lashing out at others in anger, contempt or violence. The main goal is to have a safe space so that people feel safe to lower their armour so that they can connect to their heart. This is a slow, methodical, deliberate and focused approach to healing, boundaries, love, forgiveness and acceptance.

While tribe building was an unforeseen manifestation of this process, it is not the focus or intent of this school. This school is focused on personal healing so that the individual can find peace within themselves so that they can then express that outwards in their lives. How that expression manifests is up to them. Some people may use it to build tribe, while others work hard to unwind themselves from other abusive relationships like the state, corporations, society, etc. We cannot do this work until we are consciously aware of what violence looks like and feels like. When we experience it, we can then consciously address it in a healthier way, rather than getting dragged into the web of the abuser. Often, that requires setting and implementing boundaries.

Within this school, if the individual is not able or willing to surrender and do the work in a peaceful way, the boundary will be implemented and they will be removed. New protocols have been setup to help with the boundaries as well.

While I acknowledge that everyone has value and valid points, that will not trump this boundary and give them a free ticket to abuse people just because they have something we need or want. That is not a good reason to abandon a boundary and is often used by abusers as they work hard to infiltrate groups. I hope this helps bring some conscious awareness to the group and set the boundaries for moving forward.

May Creator bless us all with peace in our hearts and our relationships.

The Feudal Empire marches on

Posted on July 2, 2020 by White Walking Feather

OTTAWA — The Liberal government has named Salma Lakhani as next lieutenant-governor of Alberta, making her the first-ever Muslim to hold the ceremonial position in Canadian history. – Calgary Harold
https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/alberta-names-salma-lakhani-as-lieutenant-governor-first-muslim-in-canadian-history-to-hold-role

While main stream media and politicians dismiss the Lieutenant Governor and Governor General as being merely “ceremonial” and often hinting that these roles hold no real power, this is far from the truth.

The Queen in Right of Alberta is a corporation sole, meaning that it is the merging of a corporation with a single individual. When the ceremony is complete, the corporation is removed from the last LG (Lois Mitchell) and will be draped over the new LG (Salma Lakhani). At that point the corporation continues to function and be animated by the actions of the spiritual being agreeing to have a corpse draped over their shoulders like a cloak. Corporations are dead. They have no life. When we agree to animate the dead, wear its mask and act out, we pretend to give it life. We personify the dead and not allow it to decompose and return its nutrients to Mother Earth for the living to consume.

Each individual does this too, when they get a drivers license, birth certificate, passport, etc.

The Governor General of Canada is a corporation sole. I speak about it at length in my ‘Journey Towards Truth’ videos. The Queen gave this office a black rod to represent her power and authority here. As a result, the GG setup a court (Privy Counsel) upon which all authority flows from. It is also the court that governs the Executive authority for the empire and individuals from the winning party is invited to minister to the GG. From this court, the LG’s are assigned, the most recent being Salma Lakhani to hold the LG office for the Queen in Right of Alberta.

The ceremony, while often downplayed and dismissed, is actually a religious observance, a solemn rite. The meaning behind the ceremony is profound and unless we take these ceremonies seriously, we will continue to fail in our attempts to comprehend what is going on around us.

The feudal system depends on ceremony and people end up being feudal serfs because of their participation in these ceremonies. We enslave ourselves because we don’t comprehend what is happening before our eyes.

When Salma Lakhani goes through her ceremony, she is going to swear an oath to the Queen, essentially making herself a feudal lord. In return, the queen has granted her the authority to hold that office on her behalf, to govern the manor and her feudal serfs. The corporation will be transferred to Salma Lakhani, to have the final say in everything that goes on within the manor called ‘Alberta’. Title for all this land is held within this corporation. Title for all that is ‘registered’ is held within this corporation. That includes land, vehicles, homes and PEOPLE.

Through this ceremony, a new corporation sole is created. The corporation itself has not changed, but the spiritual being who agreed to have this corpse hung on her like a trophy has changed. As such, there is a new corporation sole and I will be sending out letters to make it very clear that I AM NOT a subject of her or anybody else.

When we hold valuable securities, like drivers licenses, birth certificates, etc, those are evidence that we are subjects of the corporation sole (Queen in Right of Alberta / Salma Lakhani). It is not enough to send out letters. It also requires that we return the property of that corporation sole back to the owner. We are not the owners and many of these documents express that on the back where it states that it is the property of the Government of Alberta, etc.

The spiritual ceremonies being held are not necessarily that of Creator as freedom, love, peace and prosperity for all is the energy that should be flowing from these constructs. Instead, I propose that the spiritual ceremonies are that of the devil and I use the third temptation of Christ to back up that assertion. The kingdom itself belongs to Creator, hence the duty to steward the land and bring prosperity to all life. However, the right to rule over the kingdom rests with the devil and that is done through the fictional constructs that we have around us today.

“Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”

When I look up the original greek word for ‘kingdoms’, I’m confronted with the definition:

royal power, kingship, dominion, rule

not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather the right or authority to rule over a kingdom

This is exactly what we are dealing with right now. People exercising royal power and the right to rule over a kingdom, which is the domain of the devil / Satan. I will worship Creator, not some fictional construct. As such, I refuse to provide service or swear an oath of fealty to these people. Every time we sign a document we are swearing an oath. Think about the implications and why the state constantly wants our oaths.

Doing what it takes …

Posted on June 26, 2020 by White Walking Feather

For years people have asked me how they can grow food without land and while living in the city. For years I have talked about building relationships and connecting with people who have land.

Not many are willing to make significant changes in their lives in order to do what it takes! I suspect it is fear and a lack of knowledge that keeps people stuck. So ironically, I find myself in a situation this year where I have no land and I’m confronted with growing food during a period where food shortages are a clear and present danger for the majority if people.

What did I do? I I built relationships and approached people who have land. I’m working with two families this year and spending a lot of time on these relationships. I’m also helping both of them as they did not have gardens and was not sure how to proceed. So in exchange of sharing the food, I’m teaching them how to garden.

The picture above is the garden here in town which was nothing but a lawn about 6 weeks ago. It is about 1000 square feet, taking up the majority if the back yard. The other family owns an acreage out of town and they now have a 2000+ square foot garden as well (third picture).

In both of these gardens we have about 1100 hills of potatoes (total), carrots, peas, lettuce, cucumbers, dill, beats, radish, sunflowers, spinach, turnip, zucchini, pumpkin, onions and a few other plants. On top of that, I am teaching them how to harvest wild foods as there is plenty of that growing around, available for anybody to harvest.

I’m harvesting food for me and others through a win/win relationship with multiple families, all while having no land of my own to steward. Teaching others how to steward is proving to be rewarding as well. Having two gardens is also spreading the risk as the failure of one garden due to hail or other natural events does not mean 100% failure of our crops. I’m rather enjoying this approach.

If you live in the city or a small town, have no land and still want to grow your own food, there is plenty of opportunities to do that! Get out there, get your hands dirty and let’s get to work. There is no reason why people should go hungry. That duty and responsibility is up to the individual. For those that have the ability and will, our duty is to then feed those that do not have the ability and confront those who lack the will!

All of this requires the capacity to build healthy relationships with other people, with Mother Earth and the knowledge helps too! The knowledge is out there, being shared by people all over the world. What most people are missing is the courage to reach out to other people, talk to them and work on building relationships so that they can share with one another. The Pacem Arts can help people heal and practice what it takes to build those relationships.

I pray that my example here inspires others to do the same. It is VERY possible to be food independent without owning land. There are people out there wanting to learn and share. Be creative! There is literally food all around us. People die of starvation in a sea of food. What we are lacking is the knowledge, will and ability to see it for what it is. We have been hoodwinked into thinking that only that which we find in a store is actually food. That context is absolutely false. Expanding our palette and minds, we will find food all around us and be able to harvest it, store it and nourish our bodies when others are starving. We are then in a position to help them and ensure nobody goes hungry, especially when the food system collapses and the financial system melts down.

It is not even July yet and we are eating out of the garden and preserving food for winter for two families!!! Doing what it takes!

Letter to Dr. Henshaw, Premier Kenny regarding pandemic protocols in Alberta

Posted on June 17, 2020 by White Walking Feather

Dear Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Premier Kenny, Minister LaGrange & Minister Shandro:

I wave my right to be represented as a person. I owe no service or allegiance as I am not a serf, citizen or a subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, The Queen in Right of Alberta or The Queen in Right of Canada. Instead, I AM that I AM and I write to you as a spiritual ambassador as my master is Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. My expression today is out of love, compassion, empathy and peace as I have deep concerns with the protocols and approach that I have witnessed over the past months and years.

As you all know, the duty of the government is to govern the ‘public’ and balance that with the rights of citizens, their privacy and sovereignty over their bodies and homes. Some of you even swore an oath and are governed by a code of ethics and professional conduct, which I question whether you are upholding it or not. When I reflect on the protocols that you are all proposing people use to return to work, educate their children, reconnect with loved ones and end the social distancing imposed by this government, I find myself deeply concerned and troubled by what I find, especially the protocols for children when they return to school. Those protocols are abusive to children and completely disregard the foundational needs that they and everyone else has: touch, social interaction & love.

This government has also passed legislation that violates the very principles of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but also the foundational spiritual principles of love, compassion, empathy, peace and prosperity for all, reflecting a questionable moral and ethical foundation for decision making. I suspect others will challenge you all on the legal aspects, so I will instead address the moral and ethical issues that I see.

Let us not forget that we are spiritual beings of love. We were created in the image of God (Gen 1:27) and God is Love (1 John 4:16). We are love and we need love in order to survive and thrive on this planet. It is so important to us that it even superceids nourishment in regards to importance and foundational structures of life. I draw your attention to Harry Harlow’s experiment on infant monkeys In the 1960’s, experiments on new born babies performed by German King Frederick II performed in the 13th Century, experiments on new born babies performed in 1944 in the US as well as experiments performed on children in Residential Schools for decades here in Canada.

We literally cannot survive without touch, love, compassion and social interaction. Love is the foundation of Spirit and our capacity to live here. While it may not be a consideration within your political, medical or scientific protocols, it is indeed the foundation of life and must never be compromised in anything that we do, EVER! Babies literally wither away and die without touch, love, snuggles, encouraging words from loved ones, etc. Our youth manifest aggression, frustration, autistic type tendencies and other behaviours as a result of a lack of touch, whether that be from other students, family, friends or mentors.

What you are currently proposing for school protocols is nothing short of child abuse.

People literally thrive in an environment of love and this must never be ignored or downplayed, even in the midst of a ‘pandemic’, whether real or contrived. “Anything that promotes feelings of love and intimacy is healing; anything that promotes isolation, separation, loneliness, loss, hostility, anger, cynicism, depression, alienation, and related feelings often leads to suffering, disease, and premature death from all causes” (Dean Ornish, Love and Survival, p. 29).

You have no right to harm one group of people in order to protect another group. Your duty is to protect the PUBLIC from harm and the moment you deviate from that duty, or focus on a segment of the public, you violate your oath and mandate. Let us not forget, the public is an inherently dangerous place and each individual has a duty to protect themselves when entering the public and ensure they do no harm when there. This is where your duty rests, to help each individual to take personal responsibility for themselves and mitigate risk to others when in public. That is all! You have no mandate to do harm to people should they enter the public, period. Your job is to protect the vulnerable, all the vulnerable and not to do harm to them. Anything else is discrimination, much like what has been done to the Indigenous and other people of color! You cannot harm one group of vulnerable people in order to protect another. This requires a level of creativity measured against compassion, empathy and love in order to find solutions to problems. Violence, coercion, threats and other state tools are not love and in fact violate spirit in every way!

Social distancing is a medical procedure and must be governed as such using informed consent!

I question the motivation for declaring the pandemic emergency a few months ago. I question the numbers that came out of this ‘pandemic’. I question the bills that were passed that infringe on the Charter and violate the moral & ethical foundations of love. I question the protocols that are being proposed to get people back to work, addressing the food issues that manifested or how dependent on the state that people have become.

Your mandate should be to teach people how to be completely independent, self-governing, how to mitigate risk, connect with Mother Earth and walk the path of peace. That cannot happen while you all are dictating how people should live, interact or engage with the public or the government. You all know what YOUR courts say about ‘informed consent’ and especially when it comes to medical procedures. How many people getting tested or treated through this state of emergency are receiving unredacted, full disclosure prior to being swabbed or engaging with the medical system? How many people are informed that they can refuse a medical procedure at any time? Has anybody contemplated that social distancing is a medical procedure and should also fall under the protocol of ‘informed consent’? Now that the public health emergency is over, how do you propose to justify the continued protocols for medical procedures against an uninformed public? How do you justify continuing these medical procedures without giving people ALL the information so that they can make an informed choice or inform them that they can say no at any time? How do you justify using implied consent and ignorance against the people? How do you justify harming people in the process?

ALL life is sacred. Death is also sacred. I’ve seen reports of people dying all by themselves, which is the most appalling and morally corrupt manifesting of your protocols throughout this ’emergency’. I rebuke you all on your violence. Make no mistake about it, the state can only accomplish things as a result of authority backed by violence and coercion. I implore you to contemplate peace and love as an alternative. It may be harder, but the spiritual implications are profound. The human species has drifted away from love and peace as most people embrace war, authority and violence in order to control others and dictate the social narrative of life.

It is time that we make the effort to heal our hearts so that we can learn how to love, be compassionate and empathize with ALL of our brothers and sisters. It is time to end the discrimination that dictates policy and walk away from the desire to dictate how others should live. Your actions during this pandemic has scared people beyond belief and the covert & overt violence that is unfolding is a manifestation of your policies.

Love demands that we heal ourselves and hold space for others to do the same. Love does not use force, coercion or use authority over others. Love teaches, peacefully confronts, supports one another, engages with empathy, patience, compassion and forgiveness. I forgive you for the approach you all took during this event. That does not negate your responsibility and duty! I ask that you look within your heart, ask yourself the tough questions and explore the moral and ethical foundations of the decisions you are currently making.

While the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one, the needs of the one also outweighs the needs of the many. Both are valid and a balance must be found. This whole pandemic approach has failed miserably to find that balance. Fear has gripped control over love, compassion and empathy. We must never allow that to happen. I pray to the Creator to soften your hearts so that you can allow love to help you make balanced, loving decisions within your mandates, but also within your own personal lives.

We are at a turning point in our lives where we are all being confronted with how we behave and interact with one another. We can choose war, violence, authority, greed and state governance or we can choose peace, love, freedom, self-governance, healing, compassion and empathy. The choice is up to each individual and I hope you find within yourselves the capacity to reflect on the outcomes of each and every decision you make or fail to make. The vast majority of people are completely dependent upon you and seem to support your governance of them. As such, you are responsible until they find within themselves to accept personal responsibility and accountability for their own lives. Until then, your duty is to hold space to teach them how to do that. You are NOT supposed to encourage dependency, but rather independence within the feudal serfs that you govern. I ask that you govern yourselves accordingly with peace and love.

Peace to you all.

A Matter of Integrity

Posted on June 13, 2020 by White Walking Feather

For nearly 20 years I’ve worked hard to walk a path of integrity. The previous 30+ years was wrote with covert violent behaviours, lying, addictions, depression, suicide attempts, numerous stays in hospital and other traumas that I fully disclosed and shared in my books, writings, etc.

The other thing that I shared was how hard I had to work to walk a path of peace in order to demonstrate that I am a changed man. I did that work because that is what is required in order to build trust, especially with people who have been victimized by violence and / or abuse. It took YEARS of work and walking the path in order to demonstrate that I have changed and that I’m not going to resort to my old violent ways.

Sometimes I make mistakes, but I work hard to remedy those mistakes!

It has come to my attention that my separation from my wife of 25 years may have irreparably tarnished my reputation and integrity to hold space for those wanting to learn the Pacem Arts, heal and decolonize. I’ve also been informed by my dear friends that I may not be explaining what happened properly and as such I’m being misunderstood.

In order for me to explain what happened, I must first explain my boundaries. Please permit me to use an example. Many alcoholics must refrain from drinking in order to help themselves heal from their addiction. Any temptation of alcohol around them is often painful, stressful and highly triggering. People who support the alcoholics will do what they can to avoid drinking around them in order to help them heal.

Being a reformed abuser, I’ve had to set boundaries to avoid abuse and violence, much in the same way alcoholics do with their addictions. I’ve worked hard to take a zero tolerance stance with abuse because I had to in order to maintain my own health and well being. Violence and abuse highly triggers me. I feel pain, anxiety and extreme discomfort when people engage in abusive behaviour. The problem I have is that most people engage in abusive behaviour.

Much like an ex-alcoholic, I’m sensitive and I work hard to find ways to heal and cope with the behaviours of others so that I don’t engage in those behaviours myself. I do that by confronting them and seeing if they are able and willing to heal so that they no longer engage in the violence. Most people are not. So I walk away, doing my best to remove myself from the violence.

I’ve gone to the point of even removing myself from the government and corporations as those relationships are abusive as well. This is NOT an easy path to walk, but I’ve gone to extreme lengths to walk this path as my health and well being is extremely important to me and my relationships with those who fully comprehend the scope of this work that I do.

Many people don’t comprehend and as such they rebuke me with accusations that I throw away relationships far too easily, without realizing that my boundaries are there to protect myself and others. I end relationships because I don’t want to be abusive or violent but also abused either. I take a zero tolerance approach as my own health and well being depends on it and so does the salvation of my spirit! My resolve to walk this path is most likely beyond the comprehension of most people, including my ex-wife.

This caused great conflict between my ex-wife and I. She asked me to compromise my firm boundaries in order to maintain some level of relationships with those that she valued. She felt caught in the middle between me and others as I often refused to have a relationship with them. This caused great stress and anxiety within her and our relationship. So much so, that we were unable to find a remedy. As a result, she asked me to leave.

I willfully left and left almost everything with her as my love for her is absolute and the last thing I wanted to do is cause her pain and suffering. If I compromised my own boundaries, I have no doubt that I would have resorted to further violence and started going down a path that I absolutely refused to go. I’ve been down that path and it is dark, ugly, painful and downright violent. The most peaceful solution was to remove myself from the situation. I also walked away from the land that I spent 14 years building and developing. I left it all to her because I built it for her and my sons.

I’ve worked hard to be fully transparent and blunt about my journey in life. I’m no guru and I make no claims to know it all or be an expert of any kind. I share my journey and my story in the hopes that I can influence others to chose a path of peace, healing and freedom. While my life may seem extreme, in many ways it is. What I do well is hold space for others to do the same. I work hard to build trust so that people can feel safe to be vulnerable and do their work to heal.

I’ve witnessed many miracles over the years and I know that I make a difference. However, I am not for everyone. I am blunt, open and unyielding when it comes to honour, integrity, peace, freedom, prosperity and love. I am equally unyielding when it comes to violence, coercion, greed, war, theft and other violent behaviours, whether done overtly or covertly.

I am no saint or angel either. If you are looking for a professional teacher or therapist with pieces of paper on the wall, then you are in the wrong place. I hold space within this school for people who are serious about peace, healing and freedom. We all have trauma to heal, including myself. The group here is more than willing to help hold space so that we can do that work.

Make no mistake, this is work. Much like the martial arts, we do things over and over again, using repetition to help us learn and heal. People come and go, depending on their needs. Sometimes class is empty, often times it is full. Healing, peace and freedom is the primary goal.

What I do know is that this work will manifest beautiful things that was never designed or intended. Much like the martial arts, after years of training, a spiritual enlightenment starts to manifest within the student. I have no doubt the same will occur within the Pacem Arts as well. What that looks like is completely up to each individual student.

I trust that Spirit will guide that process and as such, I focus on the mechanics of healing, peace and freedom. I trust Spirit will help guide us on the spiritual and tribal manifestations that we are all searching for within our lives. I’ve learned a lot through this process already, now that the school has been up and running for seven months. We are young yet, but for those willing to take that leap of faith, I have no doubt that we will get there. Where are we going? I have no idea, but I trust in Creator to guide us along the way. It is the journey that I’m interested in, not the destination.

The Heart is not a pump

I recommend that people read my book ‘Graduating Life with Honours’ because this video will expand on what I spoke about, specifically the power and sacredness of water, but also that we have a torus of energy that makes up our bodies and this doctor explains it all very brilliantly. I hope this helps with our journey in exploring who we are and how we can express ourselves in this world.

Witnessing Fraud, Treason and Genocide

Posted on May 22, 2020 by White Walking Feather

I came back from my trip this week and despite how difficult it was, I am forever grateful! I was supposed to go to Loon Lake for a ceremony, but only managed to get to English Bay Treaty grounds where I met a Dene Clan Grandmother & elder by the name of Nancy. She is in her early 80’s, frail but her spirit is strong, sharp and on fire! The Great Spirit had other plans for us as our efforts to work on the Peace Conference was put aside while other more important matters were presented. I present a document that Nancy gave me and here is her story:

Nancy told me that the Queen considers her and her people as brothers and sisters, that there was a change in relationship that few people are aware of. She knew this to be true, and she spent years looking for the proof. She even spent time digging through archives in New York looking and one day she found it. A scroll written by Queen Victoria to the ‘New King of Canada’, aka the indigenous peoples of Turtle Island. At that point, she gave me a copy of the letter and I will enclose it here for you all to go over.

The significance of this letter cannot be understated and I will study it further. However, her story of what happened to that letter underlines treason, fraud and genocide. I am working with a dear friend regarding the municipality moving forward with a tax auction for the land she stewards. When we finish that process I will share those letters, but I want to share the letter I wrote using this new information to help her and others with their land issues. This is something worthy of discussing in Decolonization class. Note: To date, we have received no response from anybody.

Representatives of Queen Elizabeth II, I am writing to you today in regards to a matter that was brought to my attention a few weeks ago regarding land!

I write to you as an ally of the King Chiefs of Canada, Queen clan mothers and all my Red Tribe brothers and sisters, the true nations that govern this land under Spiritual and Natural law, protected by treaty. I removed myself from your feudal domain over twelve years ago, I owe no service or tenure to you or your Queen. In fact, I declared peace and welcomed your Queen as my sister, expressing love to her. I call upon my ancestors de Quercy, Turtle Island and others across Europe as I stand to reclaim my traditional and ancestral standing through the ancient customs of my ancestral White Tribes.

I have been invited as a brother by the nehewin King Chief, dene & nehewin Queen clan mothers, and many of my Red Tribe brothers and sisters across this land. They gifted me, through sacred ceremony, a white eagle feather and the spirit name of White Walking Feather. They welcome me into their homes to break bread in friendship and peace, into their sweats and sacred ceremonies and I do the same for them. I am an Eagle Feather holder, ally and sovereign brother and sister to them, who are also sovereign. Your Queen’s ancestor, Queen Victoria, made a bargain with the Red Tribes of Turtle Island (Canada) that binds you and your Queen today. She made a nation to nation agreement bound by the international law of sovereigns.

The Two Row Wampum belt treaty and Royal Proclamation of 1763 are a few important agreements, but the Bargain, the year 1665 comes the year 1835, is of particular concern. This agreement was hidden from the King Chief of Canada (Red Tribes). It was intercepted by your predecessors, agents, servants and / or ministers when Queen Victoria sent the King Chief of Canada the sealed document. It was hidden in the archives in New York for over 170+ years. Nancy, a Dene clan mother, found that document and petitioned for it to be delivered as originally intended. After years of work, it was finally delivered to her, with the Queen’s seal ripped off. Your predecessors are complicit by allowing or participating in the conspiracy to intercept and hide that Bargain. The Queens mail was stolen, the seal tampered with, and those individuals went to great lengths to hide the document. These actions are grounds for treason against the Queen and at that time was punishable by death. Those that perpetuate the fraud and treason today, whether they are aware of it or not, are also guilty of treason and fraud as they are complicit in perpetuating the original act.

This land has not been ceded. You and your predecessors have engaged in genocide against your Queen’s brothers and sisters, which is a direct attack against the Queen and her family. You have lied to them, tricked them and impoverished them into perpetual poverty. These are serious crimes against your sovereign that have been proven over and over again in your own courts.

The sovereign queen that currently stewards the land in question works hard to honour the land, her Red Tribe brothers and sisters, the Two Row Wampum belt treaty as well as revive her ancestral tribal customs, traditions and ceremony. She too is an ally of our Red Tribe brothers and sisters and an ally to myself, making her a sister and family to your Queen. Your actions against the land is a direct attack against your sovereign and her family.

The Bargain of 1835 stipulated that the Red Tribes were to make the townships, not you or your predecessors. I attach a copy of the Bargain and I call upon you all to put yourself back into honour and peace. Remove this land from the demesne of the Queen in Right of Alberta and / or the Queen in Right of Canada, acknowledge the true Kings and Queens of this land, honour the agreements that your Queen is bound to honour. Declare peace, cease and desist your claims against land that is not yours, restore honour to the Queen by fulfilling the agreements that were made.

The Queen Clan Mothers have had enough of your violence, genocide and war, as have I. I stand beside them as an ally and a witness to your actions as you are all trying to invalidate the Bargain by ensuring there is no “Indian in the country” and that there is no longer “water in the lakes and run in the rivers and Creeks, and the green grass grows”. We will not permit that to happen. I stand as a witness to your genocide, treason, fraud, violence and war. Your sovereign commanded you to bring peace. I welcome and encourage peace and your withdrawal from this land and return it to being governed by the Clan Mothers, sisters of your sovereign, is a condition of that peace. It is time to cease and desist and acknowledge the true nations of this land! If you cannot find it within your hearts to do what is right, I know Nancy would be more than happy to come down and read the Bargain to you in her native tongue of Dene.

I also put you all on notice: I stand as a witness to your treason, fraud and genocide. I will testify every chance I get, for as long as you engage in treason, fraud and crimes against humanity, for as long as my vessel breaths air and for as long as the Red Tribes walk upon this land, the water flows, sun shines and green grass grows. I stand as an ally and Headman for my ancient ancestral tribes.

I AM that I AM
My Spirit name is White Walking Feather
My vessels name is rob and it was born in the pagé family de quercy
Headman of my ancient white tribes, granted to me by my ancestors

I saw this video today and resonate with it deeply as it speaks to the spirit of what we are doing here within this school. May Spirit guide us along this journey.

Power vs Force

Posted on April 14, 2020 by White Walking Feather

In the Pacem Arts, knowing the difference between these two is significantly important. I’ve not read the book, but I am aware of the basic principles shared in David R. Hawkins book “Power vs Force”. It is a good first step to comprehending why we focus so much time and energy in the Sacred Heart Circle. The whole point is to heal ourselves so that we can start to embrace the higher levels of consciousness and not get trapped in the trauma, pain, fear, guilt and shame. We cannot build tribe or find peace unless we do this work first!

I duplicated the chart from Hawkin’s book Power vs Force to help students with their studies of these principles. I will also share muscle testing in the circles as this is something that I’m familiar with as I’ve done this type of self check for years.

While the original video that I found on Youtube sadly disappeared, this one comes close to describing the book at a high level. I encourage everyone to go through this video or even pick up the book and explore the significance behind the ideas being expressed here. In the end, this is just a tool and how we embrace these principles will help determine our progress as we Graduate Life with Honours and progress through the Pacem Arts. I do not endorse the author of this video, but agree with his assessment of the book.

The Discipline of Peace

Posted on March 22, 2020 by White Walking Feather

One of the first justifications for me training in the martial arts was to learn how to discipline my mind. I was struggling with depression and my early recovery at the time and I needed help to quiet my mind and to ground myself so that I could explore this new aspect that I found: feelings. My intellect often drowned out my feelings and that caused all kinds of heart ache and pain. Martial Arts was one way that I found to quiet my mind. But I also found out that it allowed me to connect with my body in ways I never contemplated before.

By spending 9+ hours a week on nothing but 100% focus on my body, I was able to build a relationship that ripples throughout my life to this very day. More importantly, it also helped me to listen to my body as it has a lot to say. My body has feelings and those feelings were important to acknowledge. This required a tremendous amount of discipline to obtain that level of relationship, especially considering how strong my intellect was at the time.

This is one area where martial artists excel as their training provides a great deal of discipline that can be applied to all areas of life, not just to the training. This discipline helps when we are in stressful situations as we depend on calm, balanced and focused responses, rather than off the handle reactions that can often escalate situations unnecessarily. Our job is to deescalate in order to prevent war, not to provoke others or ourselves into war.

In class we would practice that discipline in everything we do. EVERYTHING. Even when we are lined up to start or end class, when our master asked us to stand at attention, we were to control ourselves to the point where we did not move a muscle. Try it some time. Try standing still, absolutely still for a few minutes. No wave in our stance. No fidgeting. No scratching that itch. No wandering eyes. No responding to distractions of any kind. Without training, most people would not be able to do that. It took me several years before I could discipline my mind to not chase after squirrels (distractions).

The Pacem Arts will require an equal or even higher level of discipline. As we move into a new paradigm, there is going to be a lot of distractions going on around ourselves. There will be plenty of triggers to entice us into war with others. If we are going to be effective Pacem Artists, we must work on our discipline and remain focused on what the work that Spirit needs us to do.

We don’t have the benefits of being in a martial arts class to work on this as we are spread throughout the land. But we can work on it while we are together in class. We need each other to hold ourselves accountable. We can provide feedback for one another as most of our actions and behaviours are often unconscious. By bringing these into our conscious awareness we can work on it. This requires time, dedication and a burning desire to be peaceful and free.

As in the martial arts classes, we can duplicate some of those protocols here. I had absolute respect for my Tae Kwon Do Master. He had knowledge that I wanted to learn, so I was prepared to surrender and learn it his way. I bowed to him out of respect. I also bowed to my fellow students as I could not learn without them there too. I bowed to the gym as we could not train without the facility. Showing respect to everyone and everything is a custom and sacred medicine of the Yellow Tribes of Asia. There was no talking back or challenging the Master. It was his way or the door.

We don’t have the privilege of time any more. World events are escalating and it is time we step up our training as we will be required to help others in short order. We need to work on our discipline to ensure that we can master this new art form. As in the martial arts, there were rules for training. If we used Tae Kwon Do outside of the class, we were kicked out. We were NOT allowed to go to war or hurt other people with the knowledge that we were taught.

In the Pacem Arts, if you use this knowledge to attack or hurt other people, I will kick you out and not invite or allow you back in. I will take a zero tolerance on this point. I know that people attending were at war and working hard to remove themselves from the war. I know that we are decolonizing ourselves and that takes time. However, I am asking all students to have the discipline to refrain from violence of any type while training with me. This is going to be hard work, but if you cannot control yourself, then I cannot help you.

By training with me, we must all dedicate ourselves to being peaceful at all times. This is an art form of honour, respect and dignity for all, including ourselves. The Pacem Arts brings with it a tremendous duty, which can feel daunting. With training, experience, guidance and patience, we can work through it all.

I’m asking students to work on their self discipline every day. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, hands by your sides, head up, shoulders back and eyes straight ahead. Stand there for 5 minutes and work your way up to 15 minutes. Focus your thoughts on that one spot in front of you. Your mind is going to go crazy and your body is going to freak out. Build that discipline so that you can govern both. Without that level of discipline, how can we expect to handle ourselves when we are triggered by stressful events around us?

If you need more help, join a martial arts class, preferably one that teaches the art rather than the sport. There is a huge difference between the two.

In our Pacem Arts classes, I demand respect, honour, patience, honesty, integrity and an indomitable spirit. If you cannot honour that code of conduct in class or in life, then you will not be welcome into our sacred space.

We may disagree with what others are doing or saying, but we still must respect and honour them, their spirit, path and journey.
