Who or what am I (not)? (True Self)
I am not the body. I am not the thoughts. I am not the brain. I am not the mind.
Who am i? (the persona or the little i)
i am a Solipsist Mystic. The little i, i think is more like a dream character in this dream of life. Writing now as this dream character (who now calls himself Atma):
i am an English guy who's been living abroad for 14 years, now settling down in Bulgaria. Since just before leaving England, having stumbled across some "spiritual" ideas which blew my mind and led me to choose to put my faith in the above concepts, and do my best to live as if it is truth.
Before that, i lived a "normal" life, working, saving, wife and children. I started a trucking business with two partners, quitting my job eight years later, moved to Turkey and sold my shares in the business about a year later.
Continuing the story but keeping it short, here are some highlights:
i began to learn to meditate, immersed myself in spiritual teachings, books and movies while in Turkey for 18 months, took a trip to Thailand to learn about yoga and do a teacher training. Moved on to Mexico, bought an RV, met a Huichol Shamana, got arrested in the desert for harvesting Peyote, lived at a yoga school for a couple of years, fasted for 41 days in the jungle in Yucatan, began researching holistic healing when a friend was diagnosed with cancer, opened a healing retreat centre in Mexico which i ran for 5 years, volunteered at a yoga school in France for 5 months, moved to India and stayed at an ashram for 10 months. And much more in-between. A journey of healing, emotional integration and so much more.
i seem to be a "big thinker', with "world changing" ideas flowing through me, and a "connector of people". About 8 years ago i registered the domain a-plan-for-peace (no longer online) as ideas came to me which included a network of small circles of 12 people, family / friends / like minded people who made plans, came to decisions, elected a representative to join with 11 other representatives from 11 other circles, and so on upwards until all of humanity were able to communicate with each other through elected reps (and directly), to make local and worldwide decisions, to share resources - and much more. I found myself unable to solidify the ideas or present them to others in a way that could be understood.
Not long after that i came across Larry K Mason's Nopom system which blew me away. Last week i revisted this and found Perry Gruber's Copiosis system which has been birthed from Nopom. I won't share links here as this is supposed to be my introduction post, but will do later in other posts. Please follow me @atma.love to find out more.
About 2 weeks ago, i felt inspired to revisit these ideas so began researching for a platform that could host such a system. Just over a week ago i found Steemit and then a post by a guy named John (@matrix-8) describing a similar system (and so much more) and his plans to build it on Steem. My heart lept with joy.
Over the last week i have been reading all of John's website in which he describes eloquently and in great detail all the ins and outs of the Matrix-8 platform. I've also read probably fifty or more posts from other amazing people writing some exceptional articles (for example @sorin.cristescu, @edicted, @acidyo, @pstaiano and many more) following them (and many more), made a few comments and resteemed many of these exceptional posts (check out my feed https://steemit.com/@atma.love/feed to read).
It feels like i've come home! (feeling emotional now as i type :-).
I've run out of RC many times (SP delegation invited). Fortunately i've finally found a way to buy some Crypto (neither of my banks would let me - one ever threatening to close my account if i tried again) so soon i should have plenty of Steem Power so i can post more :-) and continue with my research and learning and connecting with fellow would be peace-realisers and we'll see what comes out of the melting pot.
I look forward to connecting with more and more of my new family here in Steemland and doing my best to help the network and the members to thrive.
I encourage all to read and share (internally and eternally) @matrix-8's aforementioned post: A Newbie's Combination Introduction and White Paper. I invite those who read it and are inspired, to join me in an 8-PAC. Comment below, or message me on steem.chat or on Discord (Atma#0710) so we can begin to move this world changing plan forward to help realise peace and abundance for all beings in this play of life.
Namaste

Upvoting doesn't touch your SP. That is just a measure of how valuable your upvotes are. Your RCs and VP (vote power) reduce, but they build back up over time. At 100% upvote, you should be able to make 10-11 per day and it will be fully recharged by the following day. The lower your VP gets, the lower the value of your vote is and both you and the person you're voting on will benefit less, so it's recommended to keep your VP above 80%. https://steemworld.org/@atma.love is a good resource to monitor your a account statistics.

Hello porters. Good to meet you too.
Yes, it has certainly become more fullfilling since i began to wake up 14 years ago and left the UK, began to travel and explore the inner self, that freaky stuff as an ex gf used to call it :-)
I will check out the ecovillages. A though passed my mind a couple of days back to open up my place for a #SteemEcoRetreat in the summer perhaps. I'll mull that over and see what comes.
If you catch the inspiration from the posts and would like to help develop and implement a #RealisePeace revolution, let me know and i can share more.

If you have some time and passion to join up for the matrix-8 platform, and can put some energy into it, you could well see rewards much sooner than your 5-10 year outlook. Did you read the link within my post above? I in-courage you to do so if not. Let me know your thoughts.
Re. your finger surgery. Good luck with that (assuming you choose to go ahead with it). But you should know that the doctor knows *hit about it. I can advise if you're open to holistic treatment which will deal with the root cause. You can do it yourself for little or no cost. If you check out my latest post Holistic Healing for any Dis-Ease you'll get an idea. Again, let me know if you're inerested.

Yeah, plenty of stories could be told (including getting in the paper and on the internet re the Peyote thing - and 3 x 3 nights in jail for said offence - and a hunger strike so the judge let me go in the end :-) ). i find however that dwelling in the past without good reason can keep me stuck there, so i usually focus on "future" possibilities to create a brighter future. Having said that theres a time and a place for everything. Like round the fire with a toke or two :-). Not that i do that anymore. Well, very rarely :-)

Welcome to the Steemit community @atma.love!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.
Eight suggestions to consider:
1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and steemconnect,
3. The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and
be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
7. When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.
8. Do NOT open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.
I found youbecause @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.
If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

After getting about half way through @matrix-8's linked post, a common weakness of the matrix-8 and STEEM systems seems to be the lack of an optional Proof of Human verification .
This weakness (as well as a possible solution) was discussed in my blog and is mentioned for your reading pleasure.

Yes.
My feeling is that the more decentralized authority becomes the more representational it will become. So in that regard @matrix-8's proposal is an interesting one. However depending on what level an issue becomes then one would have a greater degree of separation from ones representative than one does now with the elected representatives in government.
One would start out in the lower level of 8 individuals. One that you had chosen would be sent to the next level. They would then have a part in choosing the representative on the third level. No one that you had choosen would have a part in choosing the next 5 delegates. That sounds more broken than the present elected representative in most claimed to be democracies.
My goal is to seek non-representational (or direct representation) governance. As we approaxh the age of AI replacing many in the labor force, we could turn governance into an industry. For example anyone partipating in legislative voting could recieve financial rewards. My personal preference is to have no one represent me but myself and to allow AI and machines to free up my time (and others) enough that our full attention can be brought to bare on matters now decided.by central authority.

Thanks for your reply.
That is not necessarily the case. My understanding is as follows:
The representative from your 8-PAC in level 1, would sit in 8-PAC on level 2 (and leve1 1 members are able to observe through video and audio the level 2 meeting - and send text messages to the rep during the meeting). If the rep fails to follow the agreed upon line he/she can be removed and replaced by another even in the middle of the meeting.
The same applies for level 3 meeting (and the rep from you group might be the one selected as rep for level 3), and so on right to level 11 (if entire population has joined.
@matrix-8 will likely confirm my understanding and shed more light
@acidyo I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this too, especially with your research and development into reputaion.

It is still decentralized representation with even more people involved than the straight up elected rep which you can monitor, tweet and howl at the moon. My feeling is that once at level 3 one would no longer have the ability to recall unless it happened to be someone from your original eight.
It seems more sensible to me to work towards direct representational governance. The tech is just about there for it, it is just a matter of tax slaves not having the needed time to attend to it.

The following iswas written by @matrix-8 and sent to me by e-mail. He's asked me to post it here:
"Here I want to talk about Reputation and possible Sybil Attacks. Especially at the beginning of our venture, a bad guy could spend the time to create a whole network of nonexistent Participants – and get rewarded as if they were real. But, that Value stolen would be almost negligible until the M-8 Platform had accumulated a large number of Members. Presumably, by then we would be able to root out any Sybils.
There will be continual periodic evaluations of one's Peers in their 8-PAC's. Anyone found to be fudging will receive a black mark on their Reputation; and superior activities will receive gold stars. Both positive and negative reports will also reflect back on their Recruiter. Any time anyone interacts with any Member on the platform, the person's Communications will be tagged from 1 to 100 with a numerical grade reflecting their Reputation. And when things really get rolling and Members start to join in Goal Groups that impact the Real World – everyone will be expected to pony up their percentage of the costs involved. In this CauseFunding aspect of the M-8 system, Sybils will be immediately obvious – when their portion of the costs don't show up. (Or, if someone wanted to maintain the Reputation of one of their Sybil entities, they could pay the extra quota for their imaginary Member. In this case, no real damage would be done to one's Peers.)
You can take this with a grain of salt – because I am quite ignorant regarding programming. But, I think that edicted's biggest problem--in his blogs on Reputation--is that it's difficult to guard against the random banditry of Strangers. And in the M-8 system – we're talking about family. You trust your family; you're wary of Strangers. The founders of the M-8 system are going to be a fairly worldly and savvy group. I think we will be able to institute state-of-the-art protections for ourselves. Over time, a person's Reputation Quotient would be their numerical grade times the number of years they've been around. Someone who's grade is 75 over a 10 year period would have a higher quotient than a newbie's 100 for only six months: 750 vs 50. "

Sybil Attacks were somewhat my concern when suggesting the introduction of an optional CAPCHA sustem.
It seems to me that until sentient activity is verifiable in a digitaluzed matrix-8, then one could play with the valves and levers all day long without being ever certain if one is monitoring bot traffic or not.
Just because there is a sentient precence does not exclude them originating from some sweat shop somewhere. That is where the reputation scheme would have greater weight. Its benifits would only.be exerted if a verified sentient is at the wheel; driving the traffic so to speak. 😎

Thanks Elvijs. Indeed it is. Not that time or space (place)really exist, apparently. The "masters" tell us that this duality, this "dream of life" is illusory and dissapears when we wake up to the true self.
Peace be with you brother, and may all your kicks be accurate and true.

"HONG KONG, 8 April 2020
Headline in The South China Bugle: Successful Hong Kong Protesters Credit Steemit's Matrix-8 Platform for Renaissance of Democratic Process
"Following today's unprecedented, and unannounced 17 million-strong demonstrations in 47 cities throughout Sino-Asia – Chicom Premier-for-Eternity Mou Sy-Dung has taken an awkward, but portentous step back. Unaccustomed to surprises, or to acknowledging even the slightest defeat, he has nonetheless announced a year-long moratorium on governmental responses to peaceful protests in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Tibet. It would seem that The Chinese People's Voice—as they are calling it—has been heard!"
Just in case anyone missed the link in this post, the above is the headline from the link. I in-courage all to read it. Please share your thoughts here if you do.

Hey riverflows. Thanks for the comment and resteem (and maybe for the vote if you did vote - i have so many votes on this post it's not easy to see who voted :-)
Yes, i received 500 Lotus delegated to me. Thank you kindly.
My yoga lineage:
I started with a TTC at Agama in Thailand back in 2008 then went to Mexico to help one of the teachers open a new school there in 2009. After a couple of years the guy who started it invited Sahajananda, the founder of Hridaya Yoga to move there, which he did. Since then the school has bloomed and now opened a European HQ in France. I volunteered there in 2018 for a few months. I highly recommend it. A wonderful heart-opening community, both in France and Mexico.
A few months before i went to Hridaya in France i discovered a wonderful teacher; Jai Dev Singh, who shares Kundalini teachings (philosophy and practice) with online video courses. I have done many and now my daily practice (well, mostly daily, well, i cannot lie, not for about 3 weeks since i've been in England visiting family and caught the Steemit bug :-) includes Sahibi Kriya, Sadarshan Chakra Kriya, Sirshasana and mantra chanting. I'm still sitting in silence each day for some time, but i need to get back to the rest of the practice as i've added about 2 kgs since i've been here!
Also, i spent 10 months or so at an ashram in India in the presence of a realised being following the ancient path of the Upanishadic Seers. I actually decided to stay there until i self-realised, and started building a house! But when i went on a visa run to Turkey ego came into play again and i chose to break some of the precepts which are required if i was to return. So my journey took a different path. I see you are going to India. I HIGHLY recommend you go for a 10 day silent retreat. It is in Kerala. Let me know if you're interested and i can send you contact details.
Namaste
Atma
ps. my name Atma (Atma Sangat Singh in full - but i now go by Atma Love) was given to me by Nirinjan Kaur from the Kundalini 3HO organisation).
pps. Yes, i will add a banner when i figure out how

Thanks Britt. I appreciate your vote, comment and advice. There are so many apps/portals to post from. #esteem #naturalmedicine #partiko #steemify etc. I'm currently using #steemit.com and natural medicine to post from my desktop and esteem from my phone. Unsure as yet which are best. I guess to some extent it will depend upon the type of content i am writing.

Can you give me some more info about
Larry K Mason's Nopom system
&
Perry Gruber's Copiosis system
I think I may find something interesting there...

Well, Perry Gruber seems to be adopting Larry K Masons system (which has not got off the ground), but Perry doesn't really seem to be getting anywhere either at the moment. The Copiosis FB page is here: https://www.facebook.com/Copiosis/ Larry's website is very informative: http://nopomstuff.info/ The free audio book or pdf Invisible Hand explains how it will work very well.
The concept is really wonderful, Utopian i would say. The thing is getting people to adopt it en mass (which is what is needed for it to work) is very difficult without proper organisation.
I think the only way to get properly organised (that i have seen anyway) is the proposed Matrix-8 Platform. With such a system working, with many people using it, then it would be possible to adopt Copisosis/NoPom or something similar.
Today i created a Community to share info. about Matrix-8 Platform and hopefully get it working. We will see! It's here if you would like to take a look: https://steempeak.com/c/hive-153630/created
Peace be with you

I suggest you check out Ecoin too and sign up for some free ones. It looks like it's gonna bring mass adoption to Crypto. And if they use a Matrix-8 Platform as John Huckel has proposed to them in his open letter (which i forwarded to the Ecoin CEO), then the sky's the limit!
I wrote about it here: https://steempeak.com/hive-110490/@atma.love/crypto-mass-adoption-how-will-ecoin-affect-steem-and-other-crypto-s
