A few words on the ​ American Renaissance~

We are trying to capture in words. This effervescence of ideas and movements that have coagulated into what we know as modern America- the folk art, local markets, sustainable agriculture, crafting, innovating , governing ourselves. It’s not just the haute couture, the American Renaissance is by and for everyday people not just the bourgeoisie.

We as Americans are about to become the land of free, diplomatic, aristocratic, well educated, craftspeople that we were always intend to be; To that end we shall also give our reality of freedom to the entirety of the world.  The words below are left to help you better understand and hopefully participate in this movement. 

 

 

 

The American Renaissance, like its European counterpart, is a movement towards a higher level of spirituality, enlightenment, and overall lifestyle. Our trail blazing forefathers created the framework for the future of mankind. They created a template for people and civilizations to follow. A sort of consciousness revolution, a movement capable of freeing people from slavery on a physical, mental, and spiritual level. 

                                                                             “ The aim of all is but to nurse the life

With honour, wealth, and ease, in waning age;

And in this aim there is such thwarting strife,

That one for all, or all for one we gage;

As life for honour in fell battle's rage;

Honour for wealth; and oft that wealth doth cost

The death of all, and all together lost. “

~ William Shakespeare 

 

The American Renaissance isn’t something we created. It is not something anyone can take credit for or control. It is a movement that has naturally been born through the hearts and minds of millions of Americans. Americas part in industrializing the world has been a blessing an curse for all. Our economy has entered a pre future-economy state of flux . With many left hanging in the breeze, unsure of what the future holds; we exist in an era of unimaginable wealth and unthinkable poverty. The industrialization was intended to make life easier . Henry Ford was revolutionary not only in his mass production techniques; in the ethos, the hows and the why’s of his campaign to industrialize America went far beyond just building cars. The greed and indifference of global industrialization completely deviated from the original platform. The catastrophe that is modern day industrialization has left the oceans, forest and sky all devastated  by pollution.  It has also pushed the wealth of entire nations into the hands of one percent oligarchs and would be aristocrats. This is not a centennial problem. We have inherited these issues from hundreds and even thousands of years of human slavery.  Historians could argue that the American Renaissance began at the very inception of our country. The concept that a group of colonist, could undermine the worlds most powerful global monarchy, confounded and forever changed the human race.  America embodied the concept that the devoted few can overcome the many.  Our roots in the European Renaissance gave the concepts, the technology, and the culture. The Native Americans gave our nation a home; also made innumerable contributions to our culture, laws, and constitution. America was and always will be the land of five hundred nations. With so many incredible diverse ideas, peoples and wildlife, a star of a nation was born. 

   From the beginning America has been looked at and revered for all that it is. Wild, free, untamable, like the animals and brave souls that have always inhabited this land.  The world looks at the America and wants to be everything we are. America is not just a place. It is a way of life. It is a state of mind and being. America is living life on your own terms, being strong, self  reliant, and unwavering in our desire to be self determined. America is about rooting for the underdog and never giving into being bullied. It doesn’t matter where you call home or what your other culture is. We can all identify with these desires. These idea’s are basic human ideals that trickled into America’s culture from all the other beautiful cultures and concepts from which it was derived.  

Our creation was revolutionary. Our innovations are legendary. We are a nation at war with the world and at war with ourselves . A twisted synergy of genius and madness barreling at the future so fast; we haven’t even realized we are already there.  It’s as if America is in itself the epicenter of what was actually a world Renaissance period. We have periodically set the standard in modernizing and influencing the world. This is why the world is looking to America for answers as we make this leap into the unknown. We have to lead the way in green infrastructure and completely pivot world culture towards a sustainable future. We must also do so without upsetting the ecosystem anymore than we already have. This challenge is one for a lifetime, multigenerational at the least. 

  The people have spoken, they want a movement away from one percent control of the government, food, energy and lands. We want local solutions to global problems. We want networks making sure people get what they need to live and maintain a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. We want great quality, at prices we can afford. People want to know they are buying into an economy they are a real part of, not just another cog working for the one percent. All of these factors along with major explosions in technology, information and culture have given birth to the movement we lovingly dub ~ the American Renaissance. 

 

This movement is a movement by and for the ninety nine percent. The collective ninety nine percent has allowed the one percent class of mega wealthy to control enough of the worlds money and resources, that our votes and our very lives seem to be at their disposal. We are among those who cannot disagree more with the corrupt, and criminal acts that have lead to the current wealth distribution crisis. Too long have the ninety nine percent of good hard working human beings been prayed upon by corrupt oligarchs and want to be crony capitalist riding their coattails.

  We have a better option to offer, a consciousness uprising in which the ninety nine percent stands up and demands what we are owed; along with justice for the land and the other creatures of the animal kingdom.  If we take an enlightened all for one and one for all attitude. If we make a mad dash for green energy, sustainability, sustenance from the land and from our culture, we as human beings can put ourselves in proper position to move into the future of our dreams. It will take a Renaissance  of consciousness along with what might feel like and endless campaign of hard work and determination. In the end we can and must move ourselves, our families and communities into the future economy. Failing to do our part will result in failing to bring ourselves, the people and things we love into the future. Success will unlock more of the incredible potential in each and every one of us. 

 

One must ask themselves, “ do I really want all that I dream of ? Can I handle the responsibility of caring for and maintaining all of the wonders of my imagination? Should I give into the fear, turn back and resign myself to a life where I never really know what I could have done? Can I live with myself if I realize too late, that I really could have fulfilled my wildest dreams, only to find out I let it go out of my own inability to believe in myself? “ 

 

Fear is a form of terrorism and Americans and people in general cannot give in and allow fear to control us. Fear may be a powerful motivator, but it pales in comparison to things like true love and real passion, those things come from the essence we are all born with. That love, that passion, that essence, it’s the energy that has created this movement and the reason why it’s success is inevitable. 

     Many of have already begun this journey, modern day prospectors hammering and clawing their way straight into the future. We personally have made some great strides on the path towards our future, and now we are reaching out for other pioneers to join us. To travel fast one must travel alone, in order to travel far we must travel together. Let’s circle the wagons and together say a prayer for safety as we make this epic journey into tomorrow. It doesn’t matter where you are today or what your doing. It is always the right time to better your own life and the lives of the people around you. To be human is to be a being of light. Within ourselves we inherently already poses all the gifts we need to make our lives and this world everything we dream it to be.
