?We have come a long way intellectually from the time of Giordano Bruno...who
was burned at the stake in 1600 by the church for saying that the sun was
nothing but a star. . . But as a species we are in our infancy... and just
beginning to break free from the imprisonment of gravity.?~ Michio Kaku,
Physicist Outer life ? as seen through the senses and the circuitry of
consciousness ? is a hyper spatial vibrancy of complex energy patterns. A human
face is one such pattern, as is making love. But whose face is it, and who?s
making love with whom?Physicists tell us that beneath visual life, beneath how
we ordinarily perceive things, lies a shimmering sea of subatomic particles, and
humans are holographic excitations consisting of those very same particles.
Universal intelligence may be so multidimensional that life as we know it? every
aspect of the cosmos? may be the inside of a single molecule of DNA.We may be a
molecule of God among hundreds of trillions of other God molecules within a
being?an entity, a person, a form of life ?we have no idea about. Or maybe we
are so microscopic that our infinity is a single cell in the cerebral cortex of
a creature crawling along a corridor somewhere in some world ?a creature
imprinted with the memory of the evolutionary code of consciousness, while
oblivious to the greater context of its life, the infinite cosmos.It?s
possible.That?s life ? an unfathomable sea of potentialities: a magnificent and
maddening blend of organic intelligence that bleeds, weeps, and makes love with
itself. Thus, we know ourselves to be?conscious life.Or unconscious, depending
on how you look at. Let?s face it, by and large us humans are myth making
mammals ? flesh-draped hallucination factories with a predilection for
projecting movies on the cave walls of our own minds and then calling our trance
The Truth. The Church of Religious Fundamentalism is the new McDonalds, and they
are selling a leaner, meaner God as their new and improved Big Mac.Complicity
kills in every language. No country is exempt. We see it everywhere: human
beings concocting creation myths resplendent with apocalyptic futures and or
promises of heavenly pleasures that give new meaning to religious
porn.?Relativism is the new totalitarianism,? according to the new Pope. I say,
absolutism is dead. Impeach God, not just Bush. And vote for freedom, not a
trigger-happy faith.I?m not anti-religious. I just see illusion as a treatable
disorder. Let?s face it. Reality clearly hurts whereas coma comfortable numbs.
And yes, I think we all understand the very human need to try to make sense of
it all, to try to bring this maddening miracle under control.Yes, we are in an
awesome situation. Nearly seven billion of us collectively en-wombed in an
eight-mile high globally warming bio-bubble spinning in predictable orbits
around a sun-star with a mere four billion years left of fuel.If ?peak oil?
doesn?t make you shiver, existential reality will. And to think about all this
stuff is enough to make you religious. Or start believing in God. Or just go
bury your head in the pharmaceutical sand of deaf and dumb and keep your eyes in
lock step to the next episode of W?s lawlessness and disorder. My God, what will
the future bring?Whatever this is, we are a microcosm of a mysterious totality.
We are paradoxically bound within a membrane that allows for our own uniqueness
while also being inseparable from the whole.The confluence of opposite, yet
simultaneous, worlds ? that of self with other, mortality with eternity, spirit
with matter, life with death, ignorance with wisdom, creativity with
determinism, certainty with ambiguity, and liberation with bondage ? creates in
us a yearning for some kind of reconciliation that is forever out of reach.Life
is a polarity of opposites, a simultaneous heaven and hell, a yin-yang of
torture and ecstasy, not easily reconciled this or that way. It is our instinct
for freedom that compels us to push the boundaries of our confinement, seeking
to transform chaos and confusion with intuition and reason, dancing at the edge
of where knowledge and love emerge from mystery.Live your life and struggle to
be who you want to be. That is what I tell myself everyday and in every way I
can remember. With that said, perhaps the most radical activism is to simply
live as a free human being. And that freedom is ours to choose.Freedom cannot be
bought. Freedom cannot be sold to us. Freedom doesn?t come prepackaged.There is
no right expression of this freedom. If in need of clarity about the wisdom or
ignorance of an action, I ask myself: if what I am about to say or do will cause
harm to myself and or others, stop. On the other hand if it elevates me and
others, cultivate it.We must be vigilant in our defense against indoctrination.
Let us refuse to be shaped into any image or dogma. Existence is the journey.
Consciousness is the guide.Life is the living art of finding and expressing
freedom. There is no core philosophy that will free our mind. Being free frees
the mind. Freedom is the only religion and it?s where all true religions
meet.There?s no central plan of action for the next bold move. Let the
mysterious constellation of the whole universe, inside and outside, be our
guide, our president, our lover, our angel.Alan Clements ? a former Buddhist
monk, author, war reporter, and theatrical monologist ? is the Director for The
Campaign to Liberate Freedom, and the co-founder of The World Dharma Online
Institute ? a nonsectarian community of seekers, artists, writers, performers,
activists, and other ?everyday rebels? exploring the nature of consciousness,
the preciousness of freedom, and the mysterious wonder of the cosmos. - As a
writer with a background in public relations and marketing, I've always wanted
to focus my energies on one particular client and make them a great success. In
2004 & 2005, I got my wish. Elaine VonCannon, a REMAX Capital REALTOR in
Williamsburg, Virginia, had attempted to enter the real estate profession and
thrive in a market where the 'old guard' has a stronghold. Sidhe Communications
internet marketing tactics helped launch her career as a REALTOR. And her sales
and marketing skills helped turned the leads Sidhe Communications generated into
solid sales. Internet Marketing: SEO the Seed of Growth In 2003, I worked for
a Public Relations firm, Wasabi Publicity, in Saluda, North Carolina. It was
here that I first learned of an organic SEO method through a woman who calls
herself the Publicity Hound. She said the best method of web site promotion was
to write one article per month that educates readers on a product or service.
The Publicity Hound also recommended a short list of article submission web
sites where these articles could be posted. In January of 2003, I convinced
Elaine VonCannon that I would help her write several articles and post them on
sites across the internet. Elaine was in the first 6-8 months of working for
REMAX Capital in Williamsburg, and was using traditional marketing methods
(print media, brochures) to promote her services. We dropped several articles
between January and March and then she decided to stop, because of budgeting
concerns. January 2004 - Niche Markets are Contacting Me Through my Site
Elaine phoned me at the beginning of January 2004 to let me know she was
receiving leads from the articles we wrote and published in early 2003. In fact,
her prospects mentioned the articles they had read. The articles we published in
2003 were directed towards real estate investors, who were interested in
rehabbing and reselling property in the Williamsburg area. There were also a few
articles that educated readers about real estate in general. Because she was
receiving leads from the site, Elaine wanted to proceed and write some more
articles, this time focusing her articles on retirement and relocation to the
Williamsburg area. This was the lucrative audience she wanted to reach. I agreed
readily. She asked my advice and I told her to take her money out of print media
and to put it all into internet marketing. I promised her that this would pay
off royally. She followed my recommendations, and began an aggressive publishing
schedule of 3-4 internet marketing articles per month. Keyword Writing for the
Niche Markets During our collaboration, the most important thing Elaine and I
did was focus our story ideas on the niche markets she wanted to capture. Sidhe
Communications team of keyword writers wrote articles geared towards the
retirement audience, which touted Williamsburg as the retirement capital of the
East. We researched golf courses and golf communities in the area, and began
compiling informative articles about these subjects. Later we developed articles
geared towards boaters, which listed marinas in the area and are designed to
capture people interested in purchasing waterfront properties. All of these
ideas worked. These articles actually brought the desired traffic to Elaine's
web site and her telephone began ringing. Soon she was doing the sales she
actually envisioned herself doing - the high end real estate sales all REALTORs
dream about. I was pleased as punch. Keyword Headliners for Niche Markets I
always joke with Elaine that she is the best headline writer. She would phone me
up at all hours of the day and night with ideas for titles. Some of them were
takeoffs on old 70s tunes or common clich?s reworked. I always impressed upon
her that titles needed to be 7 words or less and punchy, and she rose to the
occasion. To this day, I feel the headlines on her articles are a large part of
what helps them to be selected for digital publication across the internet. .
Internet Marketing on a Regular Basis Elaine VonCannon is committed to web site
promotion on a monthly basis. She actually averages three articles per month to
promote her site www.voncannonrealestate.com. In January of 2004, her web
statistics showed 5,000 people entering her site. At this posting in March 2006,
she now averages over 200,000 per month to her site, with 8-10 telephone calls
per week. The site is generating leads for her, and mostly in the relocation and
retirement markets. Any internet marketer poised for success must make a
regular commitment to article writing and submission on a regular basis. Web
site promotion must also include periodic digital press releases, and uploading
new content to the site on a regular basis. Finally, complement this with some
Pay Per Click Services, and the web site promotion strategies intrinsic to
success are all in place. Without a web site promotion plan in place any
business can be assured of one thing: your competition will be doing it! And
they will be gaining the leads you could generate to your site, not you. So if
your company is caught between the 'promote the web site' or 'leave the web site
alone for a while and see what happens' remember --- internet marketing works.
Keyword writing combined with niche marketing is a strategy that gives your
product or service the edge on the web.About the Author Elizabeth Kirwin has
