DOWNPOURS
by Phoebe Carter-Swain The water has been moving a lot lately, Kissing wheels of cars and rushing away, Sitting in sill, wedging itself between wall cavity and windowpane. Moss offers itself to the gutter, horizon to horizon, We step a little too heavy, graze pale ankles when we fall, end up watching the clouds for a while. On a clear night, I sit on my feathers, watch moths congregate around glowing, knowing of a stadium light. The rest of the sky is dark, except for a thin, orange line above the mountains. This is the only reminder of the day we had, fingernail moon setting into mandarin peel pool, following the path of the sun. When it rains, the moisture comes inside, breathes in through the window left open a crack, heads down the stairs, wraps itself inside the carpet’s weave. Small, black patches will grow on the glass, They will spread across like sacred geometry, the ancient towns and people that I created with my own breath. There’s already so much ether in my room, Whole atmospheres created by footfalls of birds shaking rain from their feathers, Gentle spiders drinking droplets from their silk, cleaning delicate legs after each mouthful, weaving their own worlds into life while I sleep.
The water has been saying a lot lately, About how I’m growing up, how all this body holds this many creatures. One of my best friends unpicks the stitches of grief, one lapping wave at a time. She fills her lungs with ocean air, uses her words to say how she feels – I just wish she would tell the one who needs to hear most. I traipse the evening with her, tracing the blessing of a coastline, scouring high tide mark for things to say that might be useful. We arrive once again at the water’s edge. It rains.

I add salts and scents and flowers, light a candle which throws a circle onto the wall. I remind myself where I was that many years ago, Somersaulting through similar elements, warm womb and salt shapes. White tiles are shadowed and soft under flame. I close my papier-mâché eyelids, and in a way, I’m still there.

immigrated to Germany. I struggled to swim in the water and due to the behaviour my sports teacher showed me, it even got worse. I developed an anxiety towards deep water when my feet can´t reach the ground. I somehow made it through high school without getting a mark in swimming. The only sport I didn´t perform at all - which was a bit sad because I really liked sport at school. Even though I was afraid of deep water, I loved being at the beach and putting my feet in the water. And that was enough for me. I was also afraid of the waves, by the way. So, this is the background story. And with this background story, I flew 10 years ago for the first time in my life to Australia. Not knowing that this trip would change - maybe not my whole life, but my mindset. Traveling around Australia during nearly one year, I have been to a lot of beaches. But, never in the water! Yes, truly sad, I know. Well, until one day... in Western Australia at a place called "Lucky Bay" that´s where I had to face my biggest fear so far.
Yeah, so that´s what was running in my head. And I jumped. In the water. Facing my back to the upcoming waves and swimming goggles to protect my eyes I started to put my head under water. Attempting to find a small key with a red key chain. My fear of not getting back into the car was bigger than the fear of the water and be pushed away from the beach. I might have looked for that key for nearly one hour. I don´t know how it really was. It felt like an eternity. And I gave up searching after I realized it´s impossible to find it again. So, I packed my book, my towel and sandals and walked back to the

My brain was processing what happened and probably it had to do a lot of rewiring that night. But, this story doesn´t end yet. A few hundred kilometers on the road I stopped at one of the most amazing and magical places - the Ningaloo Reef - in the National Park. Where you literally can walk right into the reef. So, it was again a beautiful beach day, I took my snorkling gear with me this time (yes, bought one). Still afraid. But I was told the water is not deep

beach! I became an underwater enthusiast. First things I bought when I got back to Germany after the big trip: an underwater camera, a wet suit, goggles with my dioptre and special water shoes. And from then on I went underwater at every beach I travelled around Europe. I even went into the when in France - probably one of the coldest I had been so far. During this time I also came up with the crazy idea of doing my diver´s licence one day. So that I can explore more under water. And that´s why I also took my first underwater lesson a couple of years ago. Just to test, if I will survive this. And I did. So, what is the quintessence of this story? Never let your fear steal away your happiness. Overcoming your fears might bring you to places you never even dreamed about. But when you arrive at that place, you feel it and you know it that you have always needed exactly that.
So, fear less to become fearless.

TRAVELLING INTO THE UNKNOWN
By Ness Song Little bright yellow windows glow and flicker with changing pale lights and muted sounds.
The glimmer of the luminescent moon, the crickets chittering, filling the quiet night, the smell of burning firewood painting the air around me. The stars glow, glint and guide the way as our ancestors before us. The breath of earth that fills each step.
Each little human home, venturing into the unknown.
A short walk after a long venturing through screens. Enough to fill my lungs and ignite my spirit with trust, ease and unity.
Seeking adventures from the safety of our own homes. Aglow and sometimes, mostly alone.
To venture forth into the expansiveness of our own experience.

to control - when we believe that the night around us is filled with the bad characters we see on our screens. Our minds crave security, comfort, familiarity - surrounded by the people and habits we know. Our hearts crave growth, adventure and the unknown. How do we balance two halves of a whole? I love to adventure through my screen, in the presence of heartful company. To live in the stories of another and taste a moment of their lives - the sweetness breathes - but only momentarily until a black screen screams more, insatiable, roaring, forevermore. I have come to love venturing into my own adventures - to see, feel, touch, smell - the wonders and mysteries that this world is yet to reveal to me.

Numerous other researchers and professors have investigated and delved into the consciousness and capacity of water for memory. Researcher and senior director of French medical research organisation INSERM -
PAGE 20 - WATER AS AN EXAMPLE FOR BEING
Jacques Benveniste was the first to coin the phrase ‘Water Memory’ in 1988, and whilst his published research was considered fringe at the time, his work laid the foundation for further research and exploration of the science of water. In 2001, professor Bernd Kroplin from the institute for Static and Dynamics for Aerospace Constructions of the University of Stuttgart, published his findings about Water Memory in his book “World in a Drop” using a darkfield microscope.
Whether that be mental, physical, emotional, social or spiritual stimuli - is what we are consuming, empowering us to thrive or forcing us just to survive? Depending on our age - water makes up around 70-90% of our bodies and water molecules characterise the very structure of our DNA & genetic material. When we reflect upon the power and potential of water - we must also reflect upon our own power and potential. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158; the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are

experiment believed that as water travels - it picks up and stores information from all the places it travels through - further elucidating and investigating the notion that water has the ability to store and retain information. As beings made up of predominantly water - it is important to reflect deeply on how crucially important what we consume and cultivate within our experiences is.
There is arguably a strong case for the understanding of the impact of our collective consciousness on the structure, health and condition of our world. Our ability to look within ourselves, lends space to ourselves and in turn a greater capacity for care and custodianship for our planet.

interconnectedness with one another it can often feel too difficult to resist or overcome. When the world’s problems feel bigger than us, when it feels like no one else cares or is doing anything positive or good in the world - it can often feel too difficult to resist or overcome. Our focus on what we can do often lies in what we can ‘do’, of which resisting and overcoming are integrally related. Through my work, I hope to inspire you to cultivate a different understanding of overcoming or resisting. One that is not rooted in the effort of holding, forcing and doing things outside yourself. But rather of turning inwards and allowing what already lives and breathes within ourselves, to express itself freely. To flow forth the different aspects of our beings and create the most vibrant tapestries of our expressions in this lifetime. Expressions of great wisdom achieved through learning and healing from our most painful experiences. Capable of acting from places of connectedness and love for humankind and ourselves.
Our actions do not need to be immense but rather through the actions of many, our impact will be. Your actions don't need to be bigger than yourself - a simple smile to a stranger, a kind word to a friend, checking in with a struggling family member, picking up one or two pieces of litter when you see it. All these things flow easier when we do the inner play. Not necessarily because the actions become easier themselves, but because we become better equipped with a tool kit of compassion, empathy and understanding. Tools that we are only able to truly and genuinely apply in situations where other's are trying our patience - once we have applied them to our own wounds and hurts. Thus I believe that if each human on the planet was to commit to doing their own inner play - I know most of our society's ills would slowly but surely receive the attention they are so desperately calling for.
PAGE 22 - WATER AS AN EXAMPLE FOR BEING
By taking the time to be present with ourselves, to listen to what our experiences have taught us and what it has to say, to give ourselves the space to hear our own heart and explore our soul. To soften in the face of the need to close ourselves off to protect ourselves. It is the easiest and greatest way to overcome the constant onslaught of hopelessness we face each and every day. Our greatest journey from here will be to cultivate the strength of softness in our hearts, our being and our experience. Given that everything on earth is based on water and liquid, I say with confidence that we need to place much more awareness and attention on the water we consume, the water that we are and the way that water is affected on our planet. To understand deeply how we can affect and are affected by external forces as beings of immense power made predominantly of water. Our very existence depends on it. I am confident we will rise to the occasion.
To soften in the face of the need to close ourselves off to protect ourselves. It is the easiest and greatest way to overcome the constant onslaught of hopelessness we face each and every day.

“I come like a comet newborn Like the sun that arises at morning I come like the furious tempest That follows a thundercloud's warning I come like the fiery lava From cloud-covered mountains volcanic I come like a storm from the north That the oceans awake to in panic! I come because tyranny planted My seed in the hot desert sand I come because masters have kindled My fury with every command I come because man cannot murder The life-giving seed in his veins I come because liberty cannot Forever be fettered by chains I come because tyrants imagine That mankind is only their throne I come because peace has been nourished By bullets and cannon of old I come because one world is two And we face one another with rage
I come because guards have been posted To keep out the hope of the age And you, all you sanctified moneybags Bandits anointed and crowned Your counterfeit tellers of justice And ethics will crash to the ground I'll send my good sword through your hearts That have drained the world's blood in their lust I'll smash all your crowns and your sceptres And trample them into the dust I'll rip off your rich purple garments And tear them to rags and to shreds And never again will their glitter Be able to turn people's heads At last your cold world will be robbed of It's proud hypocritical glow!

He was to "discover, search, find out, and view such remote heathen and barbarous lands, countries, and territories ... to have, hold, occupy, and enjoy".[3] It was expected that Raleigh would establish a base from which to send privateers on raids against the treasure fleets of Spain. Despite the broad powers granted to Raleigh, he was forbidden to leave the queen's side. Instead of personally leading voyages to the Americas, he delegated the missions to his associates and oversaw operations from London.” However, in the case of North America, where the Thirteen Colonies of the British Empire were mostly on the Eastern Seaboard, established in heated competition with the French and Spanish warring the indigenous populations for their new world in North and South America, and were established over a period of 6 centuries (1494-present).

It housed up to 260 prisoners at a time, including those awaiting trial, convict witnesses giving evidence, invalid convicts waiting for a ship to Port Macquarie Invalid Station, and those under colonial sentence of re-transportation. As with other prison hulks around the world, the human cargo on board was a source of cheap labour. Phoenix convicts worked from dawn to dusk predominately in ‘shore parties’ quarrying stone, cutting timber, building fortifications, reclaiming land and working in dockyards.” (https://sydneylivingmuseums.com.au/stories/convict-hulks)
Pacific and Asian region, as former Prime Minister John Howard would term it, it is an apple that does not fall far from the Western Tree. Much of our conception of Asia is from the Romans and the Greeks, from about 4000 years ago, or 40 centuries. This sheriff conception is probably most readily seen from “Alexander the Great” about 2300 years ago: “He showed his intent to conquer the entirety of the Persian Empire by throwing a spear into Asian soil and saying he accepted Asia as a gift from the gods. This also showed Alexander's eagerness to fight, in contrast to his father's

Then we can know ultimately it is to the ruling classes benefit to throw the white a bone and tell them to protect it from those labeled immigrants or indigenous persons.

PAGE 45 - THE CARRIERS: CAPITAL MINDS AND ULURU HEARTS
In the chart above, we observe the life of a man only recently departed this Earth, in December of Two-Thousand and Twenty-One. Dexter Kruger worked farms up in Queensland for the majority of his life - as a grazier, and later worked as a veterinary surgeon. In later years, Kruger authored more than a dozen books - including a memoir. Kruger's life-time spanned 27 Prime Ministers and 5 Monarchs. On the point of living through or with Monarchs, Kruger surely is an outlier in comparison to the majority of Australians - with Australians tracking as a whole underneath 35 as a median age for most of Federation, and where, in 1900, a lower median of 22 yet. (It does do well to remember here that Indigenous peoples were not counted in the official estimations of the population of Australia in much the first half of the 20th Century.) Let us consider another chart using the same methodology - stacking comparatives to our reference point - the well lived life of one Dexter Kruger. (Note colour coding for ease of comparison - and do note that each PM is only mentioned the first time they appear as PM, as through the eyes of Mr Kruger)
PAGE 46 - THE CARRIERS: CAPITAL MINDS AND ULURU HEARTS
Much is to be gleaned from this brief chart, in particular the palpable measure of time we often use (the terms of Federal Government) - in reference to the amount of decades the Federation has existed and the life-time of just one long-lived generant of human, that of D. Kruger. One thing is certain - all the depletion I mentioned earlier has occured mostly within one lifetime - meaning within one lifetime we could make a sustainable home place and world. If you are trained to think in terms of three-year time blocs, or the typical stratum of Human Generations in 20-30 year blocs, (Baby Boomer vs Gen X’er, etc) - what these trainings or conditionings might entice us to believe is that the recent past, say the 1960’s, is really actually the distant past. So what we have here then is an interesting dialogue indeed - between the aging population of Australia with a rising median age against smaller measures of time increasingly professed to us to use to think in (the Federal Government term, or ‘’typical human generations’’), and as in particular, ‘’typical generations’’ are seemingly becoming shorter and shorter - this is a recipe for creating a ruinous and unnecessary blame game, between the working-class of yesterday, the working-class of today, and the working-class of tomorrow, as the Media winds to tell us hate - and a disastrous loss of a more reflecting sense of time that allows us to live. The sense of time that actually thinks in decades of operation, the life-times of people in sequence or concurrent living, the sense that understands centuries are intimately connected. If One person can live in 3 centuries, like John Lockket, Digger of World War One, born in 1891, passed in 2002 - then surely it follows a simple two generants of persons in sequence can MAKE entire centuries. Or, evidently, as we have learned with teh conceptions of CAPUT and ASIA, one generant group of Human Activity can make entire centuries and millennia.
PAGE 47 - THE CARRIERS: CAPITAL MINDS AND ULURU HEARTS Perhaps, this is the critical misunderstanding of the infamous “Post-Truth-Society’’ we are living through. We are training ourselves to not think in the future in the present, because our present tells us our time is too short to think of any future in the present. An entire continent has been but totally conquered in the span of 24 decades, but never mind that reader. The present that George the III experienced in his Palace in the British Isles mustn’t have felt as short as we seem to feel time today — for him to have the gall to execute an order to seek the possession of an entire continent in collusion with his preferred High Tory, High Conservative, Pitt Government.
