As mentioned last time, I want to take time going over the existing levels in Maekonect. At present, there are two. The second level (Remember Shared Humanity) first. At some point I realized there was a step before coming together: stabilizing ourselves individually.

All levels have three parts to it. Not all of them have sentence structure to it, but Level 1 does. Part one of this is taken from the website. Part II will be diving into it deeper, and answering questions people may have. I aim to post again in 3-4 days. By March 31st, I will answer any questions in Part II. If any come after, I will answer another time.

“We are tired… so we must… party up and…”

Those spaces? They’re intentional. What is it that we must do? Which way will you take your life? Level one provides such

We Are Tired…
…of working more and living less. Of broken families with strained connections. Of feeling alone with so many contacts. So what do we do? Many may…

– Dissociate (We separate from what ails us: reality. The real world has many problems. History has a slew of lessons and it seems no one is learning. When we have no idea how to fix the issues, we retreat to what takes our mind off of them. Anything to get away from the rot.)

– Distress (Anxiety and depression are natural reactions when living within a broken system and a society complacent with them. It’s easy to fall in distress when we feel hopeless. Chemical imbalance or not, people will not get better by treating the symptoms alone.)

– Depress (Sometimes we bring others down. Making others suffer as much as they themselves feel. Sometimes people utterly break someone else’s spirit in order to feel in control. Perhaps there are other reasons. Such tactics could be put to better use.)

…So We Must…
…do something. Do nothing. Do anything that makes use of our minds, bodies, or energy. There are a few core ways we choose to do these things without causing harm to others, such as…

– Rest (We just need a break from everything. Just a rest for the mind. Take a nap. Breathe in and out. It seems simple, but it’s hard to find time to do such a thing. Taking a rest from worrying about everyone else is important. It’s okay to get some.)

– Game (We play for lots of reasons. As young children it brings joy. When we are old enough to understand the rules, we become gamers. Video gamers, board gamers, dice gamers, card gamers… We spend our energy productively.) 

– Create (Whether making music, characters, stories, memories, moments that make us smile… at our core we are all creators. We were meant to produce love and create Earths culture. This is much deeper than just making we can ever conceive.)

…Party Up And…
…connect to power sources that give you the energy you wish to persist. This can be people, nature, music, anything that maintains your integrity in a peaceful way. Aim to…

– Exist (There is only one you. Some may be similar externally, but different internally. Others may be similar internally, but different externally. At the core of it all, each of us stem from the same place. You are uniquely you. Find what makes you, you.)

– Resist (Find ways to resist destruction. Life is about the long game. The strategy to winning is for our species to endure and persist through the forces that would destroy our humanity, our spirits, our planet, and our Motherland. Resist them.)

– Commit (Pick a value. Build morale. Define your ethics. Commit to one person, one task, one cause, or one purpose and put your energy in that one thing at least. We can not do it all on our own. We have to make efforts to bring forth the future we want our history to be.)

…May We Connect?
