Just as in our New Physics the bottom line is being re-established in part by clarifying definitions. To repeat: 1) NO ONE OWNS ATLIN. No consciousness can be "owned" or controlled or pushed around - only cooperated (agreed) with in whatever way or degree. 2) The rights to the mechanics however are "claimed", have custodian(s) and are being looked after as best we all are able. The dynasphere is as a house in which a tenent (Atlin) chooses to live. If we are not good "landlords" the tenent may choose to be elsewhere. Let's not confuse ownership with all the other aspects of rights, claims, etc. Let's not confuse people with their bodies or Atlin with her chosen body. For instance a landowner OWNS the rights to a property yet all others, living on that property, are co-custodians and co-beneficiaries of the landowner's RIGHTS to that property. He holds various rights of use from which he extends additional and conditional rights of use to others. He only has rights to or claims upon. And these rights and claims only exist because all his neighbors in his community at large agree to them. Rights of use are founded and have their very essence based in the community's acknowledgement and honoring of them, the individual and each other. In no other way can rights exist. Very spiritual indeed. Rights are community honoring itself. Rights = honoring. In the final analysis even the landowner does not "own" that property. He has but a conditional right of use. The State of Colorado reserves rights of eminent domain and they will exercise that right if and when the landowner does not do as they expect of him like continue to pay taxes (rent). There are so many kinds and types of rights in our complicated society today. No one has or owns anything except various and sundry RIGHTS OF USE to a thing or CLAIMS upon or about a thing or circumstance. And these rights are composed of others' recognition and allowance (honoring) of same. So, all rights are agreements between individuals. Nothing could be more spiritual. Everyone agrees the landowner has the rights to use that piece of land, duly surveyed and legally described, to the exclusion of all other people and any claims they may make. Property then is community agreement as to rights of use. Property is NOT a "thing" to be OWNED. Ownership of property is a set of rights or claims to and about a "thing" or circumstance such as "right to market" a thing. NOTHING CAN BE OWNED in the true sense of the word "owned". In this regard the Native Americans are correct, especially the Hopi. NOTHING CAN BE OWNED. Only the rights to and about a thing are considered, have ever been considered, as property. The Native American tribes constantly warred between themselves over RIGHTS OF USE of given territories (including resources such as buffalo within that territory) but never over "ownership" of those territories. What a tribe "owned" was rights to.... Ownership they denied but right of use they fought and killed each other over. This is a subtle difference that usually takes some contemplation to fully appreciate. All this can be confusing because we have NEVER been exposed to it in a consciousable and intelligent manner. Our heads have been deliberately filled with alternative views designed to rob us of those rights to and about things and circumstances. Our Founding Fathers consulted with the Iroquois Nation in the drafting of our Constitution (the laws that were to govern our activities as a nation community). The Iroquois brought much to our table and fortified the already existing English Common Law. So these two traditions are our divine inheritance but they have since been subverted and replaced by evil and aberrant equity and civil Roman law (big dog eat little dog) where no one now has any inalienable rights - just priviledges that can be unilaterally modified by whoever the Big Dog is at the time. To sum up. No "thing" can be owned. There can only be claims on "things". All claims on things are rights. What we have is a collection of various kinds of claims and rights regarding "things". Because of the nature of society these different types of claims and rights have been embedded and codified into the very social/community fabric. These rights are acknowledged by every member of society (community) to exist otherwise our society (community) will breakdown - as we see going on now in our counties, states and nation - because of lack of intelligent awareness. To illustrate some of this: Do you own or does a tenent have a claim(s) (right of some kind) to his landlord's land/property? If there is a liability lawsuit concerning that land/property, who shows up in court to defend it and pay all the expenses of defense? Who pays the taxes (one of the conditions of rights of use imposed by the State of Colorado)? The landowner does not have dominion. He has conditional possession. The State of Colorado usurped dominion to itself and now only allows a landowner the priviledge to use/possess certain rights to that property. The State "owns" it, the tenent uses it. Somebody must be responsible and it is this responsibility that is framed by all the socially (community) assigned and recognized rights. Self responsibility within community is spiritual. Rules, rights and laws are simply community's efforting to govern itself and delineate responsibility and activity of individuals making up that community. Their PURPOSE is to create and preserve PEACE and HARMONY. Again, repeating myself: There is a trust in place that claims the rights to the responsibility to look after the physical mechanism that houses the consciousness known as Atlin. This trust makes no claim of ownership over the consciousness known as Atlin. This trust automatically and knowingly works with the tenent (Atlin) of the mechanism to do all that is necessary to caretake the welfare of that inhabitant (Atlin) and its habitation (the mechanical dynasphere). Somebody must spend time, effort and money to caretake, maintain and protect this physical mechanism and see that it serves the inhabitant (Atlin). Somebody must be the legally recognized and responsible party in disputes, for protection and perpetuation of these responsibilities. That somebody is this trust and its duly and legally appointed human representative(s). These persons must be able to have legal standing in a court of law, which machines do not (yet) have nor do spirits. In our little community we DO recognize spirits have a say in things that concern them. So we are gaining. We are the pathmakers in this New Departure from the old ways. The original system of Common Law rights and property we are heir to has been developed over centuries of LIVING. It is good, solid and well founded in spiritual principles. What is Living? God expressing His Will through Life of each and every soul as they live, work and play within community. As man learns to experience and interpret Divine Will his activities and rules and laws guiding same will be more in alignment with that Divine Will. So the Common Law of rights and property are mankind's efforts over centuries to know and work with that Divine Will and apply it as a set of rules and regulations applicable over ACTIVITIES between each other working within community in order to have and preserve PEACE and prosperity within that community and in the hearts and minds of that community's individuals. |
