“Our goal is not to assume leadership of existing institutions, but rather to render them irrelevant. We don't want to take over the state or change its policies. We want to render its laws unenforceable. We don't want to take over corporations and make them more 'socially responsible.' We want to build a counter-economy of open-source information, neighborhood garage manufacturing, permaculture, encrypted currency and mutual banks, leaving the corporations to die on the vine along with the state. We do not hope to reform the existing order. We intend to serve as its grave-diggers.” WantStatesLawPurposeOrderDiesSocialGoalChangeEconomyInformationPolicySourceEconomicsResponsibleAimInstitutionsAssumingLeavingGravesReformCorporationsNeighborhoodMutualCurrencyIrrelevantManufacturingReformationGarageVinesRenderingPermacultureOpen SourceEconomic Reforms Author:Kevin Carson

“Every living thing, animal or human, or tree experiences that which is called death, with no exception. You've all accepted that one a long time ago. Spirit, which is who we really are, or Source, is eternal. So what death must be is a changing of the perspective of that Eternal Spirit. If I am standing in my physical body and am consciously connected to that Eternal Spirit, then I'm Eternal in nature and I need not ever again fear any endedness, because, from that perspective I understand that there is not any of that.” IfsNeedsHumansLongBodySpiritChangeAnimalTreeSourcePerspectiveEternalLong TimeStandingConnectedAcceptedExceptionLiving ThingsLong Time AgoPhysical Body Author:Esther Hicks
