Deconstructing Constitution of Republic of Alberta / Natural Law

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.

Common Law Courts

Spirit guided this class as I had a couple people ask the same question within hours of one another.  So we tackled Common Law Courts tonight and had some profound discussions about the topic.  I hope this helps people on their journey.  

As I mentioned in class, there is an injury pyramid which you can see at this link:
https://www.jjwhiteinc.com/2018/02/06/the-injury-pyramid/

The idea is that 300,000 at risk behaviours will statistically result in 3000 near misses, 300 recordable injuries, 30 lost work day cases and 1 death.

If we want to eliminate work place injuries and death, we don’t focus on the injuries or death.  We focus on the 300,000 risky behaviours people do at work.

Same goes with murder and rape.  We don’t focus on the murder and rape behaviours but rather focus on the covert violent behaviours hidden in bed rooms, kitchens, board rooms, relationships, etc.  We focus on healing our relationships with self and others so that we don’t engage in violence.  The minor small stuff leads to bigger and bigger stuff, which leads to rape and murder.  We address the bottom of the pyramid to heal and prevent those types of behaviours we don’t want to see in our lives.  The state does not do this, but in fact, perpetuates the problem through violence, poverty, punishment and other abusive behaviours.
