vitalingus - @ 03:48:pm
Who is Vita they ask? You may well ask and if you look
feel and see, you may discover the "Essence of “Vita.”
Vita is very present. Vita has lived many pasts!
Vita is the sky! Vita is the earth. Vita is a whirl of
light and motion..Vita is a fleeting moment of joy. Vita
is a life time of bliss. Vita is a Goddess. Vita is a girl.
Vita is the genuine courage inside a man. Vita is a hunter.
Vita is gatherer. Vita is a lioness, Vita is a kitten. Vita
has courage, Vita has tears. Vita is laugher Vita is sadness.
Vita is our opportunity to speak from the heart Vita is the
very delicate shadow across the Mongolian plain that melts
in the sunset.
Vita is the bubbles in French champagne. Vita is the “bee knees
some have said the exotic twist in a “Bronx”. Vita is the dance
in a 1920’s speakeasy!

Vita is the smell of gardenia in summer and the crunch of “fall”
leaves in Central Park! Some have “Vita is the wheels on a 1960′s
Vintage Vespa!

Vita is gracious and steps lightly on the souls of others..Vita has
the wisdom of the past and the discovery of the future..Vita is our
opportunity to make sustainable choices. Vita is freedom..Vita is an
opportunity to “relinquish control and be free..
Vita is the opportunity to grow and evolve..Vita is our opportunity
to love fully without fear. Vita is the love inside all of us. Vita
captures the essence of intimacy.
Vita is our willingness to love every exquisite moment. Vita is our
tenacity and growth… Vita is commitment to what we choose to create!

children. –Native American Wisdom”

"Vita's transcending and evolving domains [ Vita's Healthy Banquet] -
vitalingus - @ 05:35:pm
"Verne said Vita was the "Ita' of the naughties
Some have said she is a "force of nature that
transecends many life times and evolving cyber
spaces!
"A HYMN TO THE GODDESS OF COMPASSION
Whose love we can not resist)"
An article by the lovely Verne a tropical fish
who knows how fresh the air is on the mountain &
well aware fish bowls are vast and the waters are
always clear and evolviong!
AN ODE DEDICATED TO VITA IN 2003
"It is at this time I should mention Vitalingus
not to be confused with the dukes of morgasm)
"Vitalingus" is an entity unto her own inner law
And is well versed in the ancient and gentle art
of persuasion not to mention articulation...
Sometimes confused with a frenzy and always a
goddess, treads not the path less traveled yet
instead the path traveled, not even a little bit ..
Except for vitalingus.
So if in your travels you spot a "lovely" V resting
iconographically in the annals of human settlement,
Then click on her .com, for it will bring you good
fortune and let your karmic hose run clean!
So,in the spirit of the moment we shout VITA !
the "ITA' from the Naughties to very NOW with
a capital "V"....
The only girl/goddess, I know who thinks
organically when she reads "Squeezed
Daily" at the Farmers Market.

Gough's Time our "little ray of sunshine" [Essence of Vita ] -
vitalingus - @ 04:15:pm
In a speech launch of John Menadue's book in October 1999,
the great and Gorgeous Gough Whitlam pondered the issue of
all things "sacred and secular.' Gough recognized John as
a blend, of these two, admirable qualities.
Below are more fromn John on the state of things in
Australia past and right now!
linkwww.johnmenadue.com/democracy/index.html
THE GIFT OF GOUGH
In 1972 Gough’s government (Whitlam) a man of great vision
and heartfelt spirit, led a generation born in the 60’s into
its future. He gave a generation of children a real opportunity
to grow and change! He believed and created hope in real choices
for a new generation born to lead the future!
He created a nation that was prepared to provide free tertiary
education, a health system that was inclusive and cared for all.
He gave us belief, we can care for the other as we wish to be
cared for. Inclusive policies that gave hope and integrity for
real possibilities! A world of viable choices that could be
acted on.He created in belief in world that was willing to
take all it's people to with them.
linken.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gough_Whitlam
It could be said he reframed the future he created a NEW “Time”
Allowing us all to have the freedom to grow evolve! He endorsed
a very clear commitment to inclusive entitlement. Gough it could
be said was unambiguous, to rights that would benefit the whole!
Gough knew and understood a better future was possible. He created
an opportunity to move forward as a nation! He walked us out of the
past to recreate an inclusive country a better place to play.
linkwww.whitlam.org
Gough’s government gave us the opportunity to expand grow revalue
how we see the other as US! In 1975 we wept with our parents as the
dream of living our lives awake was very unceremoniously removed!
Indeed Malcolm (Fraser) has redeemed himself since that time!
See the link below for details of the “Dismissal”
linkwhitlamdismissal.com/whitlam/its-time.shtml
WHERE ARE WE NOW? DO WE VALUE LOVE OR MONEY?
37 years later several generations WORLD WIDE looks with
exhaustion, anticipation, a deep appetite and discontent, for
our fundamental rights to be acknowledged AND HAVE OUR VOICES
HEARD!! It is happening we are holding our ground raising our
voices and making quite clear our discontent with what we have
lost the world over..That's right loved ones it is not about me
it is not about you, it is ONLY about US!
linkwww.youtube.com/watch?v=S880UldxB1o
THE BIG END OF TOWN AND SACRED LANDS
In 2012 it could be said we have moved from Gough’s vision
so far that as a society that we are being led to believe,
“Gina and her mining friends have a right NOT only to trash
sacred lands, they are entitled to own the lot. If one took
heed of the "no can do Party,(Tony's people) and we believe
their truth? NOT!!!
linkwww.abc.net.au/news/2012-03-19/mining-tax-passes-senate/3899952
Ah yes the last days of patriarchy who does OWN the earth? A
very poignant irony given what we have done too the earth!!
More on “Julia’s” grand plan for the redistribution of wealth
coming soon!! By JULY 2012 in fact)
“THE LAND WE ARE “JUST BEING”
Ah yes we have chipped away at the earth, allowed the “big end
of town to rule and ruin the earth! What a surprise and they’ve
always expected to “reap the benefits! MMm with a well trodden
tradition of ignoring the needs of the traditional owners, and
their rights to sacred land! Don't get me started on imperialsm
loved ones!
linkwww.mabonativetitle.com/lr_01.shtml
LEFT RIGHT POLITICS SO LAST CENTURY
Successive governments both left and right have endorsed a
“user pays” “that’s mine not yours” choices, based on an
individual’s ability to “pay ip front or pay with interest”
("Interest" another very ironic term really if you aware of
where that concept was derived from and who's interests are
being met?)
Beliefs that endorse an “I am up your down” “I desrve more" I
I’ve worked harder than you”...Or in the mining industries case
it could be argued “I have procured and bullied others more than
you”...
TEH AMERICAN DREAM? FACT OR FANTASY?
Furthermore it could well be argued the “American dream” has NOT
been the ideal model to follow.
WHAT DO WE HOLD SACRED?
It appears the belief in commodity ethics. “Money is God”
has so not worked loved ones. It’s truly "gone bung" as the
“Aussie’s say! Money a manmade construct, it could well be
said, has destroyed our choices.
Commodity ethics embody survival of the fittest beliefs
that have created several "me" generations now looking
for a genuine place in the world and authentic compelling
meaning.
It could well appear commodity ethics has created exclusion
not inclusion. Creating values that are dangerous & toxic
choices that leaves out some and support but a few! It has
created a culture of have's and have NOTS! It has damaged
our dream time our walking, and working effectively in our
world.
It truly is "TIME" to take responsibility, create meaningful
dialogue, cooperation and indeed collaboration and actually
mean IT! It is "TIME" to value, explore and embrace a future
that leaves NO ONE OUT!! It is truly TIME to create inclusive
futures for the whole! These are sacred ethics that value the
whole!
It is possible to revalue these fundamental truths .We have
stood still for too long while eroding our futures. Beliefs
and ways of being that could well be seen as maintaining
segregation not unification.. What has become apparent, is
they are not choices visible to the discerning eye...
We must all as a world reestablish the goal and reclaim the
rights for US ALL, not just the chosen few. We will revalue,
re-establish and re identify sacred our treasures" and the
gift of loving fully.
Consider what you have and what you truly value in our sacred
world. Do you value a viable world? (able to live) and love
fully or are you consumed by deficits?
For Margaret Whitlaim 9 November 1919 – 17 March 2012)
A woman who walked the whole way with Gough on all his journey's
to the Mountain, who always looked forward not back!

"Best practice, "ones authentic leadership [World Politics] -
vitalingus - @ 02:32:pm
A HEALTHY EGO FREE APPROACH TO AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP
MMM...SOME ENCOURAGING AND KEEN OBSERVATIONS FROM WE
AT "VITA"
“If ones actions inspire others to dream more, learn
more, do more and become more, one is a leader.”“
An authentic leaders courage is apparent they honour
genuine inclusive, beliefs. Authentic leaders have
vision that comes from passion, not position, nor
perceived misplaced power over another. LJK
"Each person must live their life as a model for others".
Rosa Parks
"Men don't monopolize success." Nellie Bligh
VITA ON LOVE FILLED LEADERSHIP AND PASSION
As we say at “Vita”, authentic leaders often times thrill
us, with their immense courage vigor vitality and creative
innovation. Authentic leader are willing to acknowledge the
immense journey it takes to reach the mountaintop and to
recognize the crevices that need to be crossed!
An authentic leader makes every step a brave step. Committed
leaders never over committ and complain later! Courageous
leaders travel bravely with grace til they KNOW THEIR journey
is complete!
" Nellie" anothher great traveller and paradigm shaper! Ah
yes a woman ahead of her time, a very brave woman journalist
willing to risk her life, to create new understanding!
linken.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nellie_Bly
Authentic leaders create trust understand & understand
the big picture! REALISTIC leaders allow the future to
be explored fully without fear of the future.
Authentic leaders create skilled teams without ego that
build the future, step by step, they grow and evolve a
clear vision of how things can be!
“This is what truly distinguishes a leader from merely
a follower.”
Authentic leaders create the future and act from courage
not fear, they are thrilled at the opportunity to change!
Genuinely evolved leaders are not bound by patriarchy or
old paradigms of “how things were”, "if aint broke
don't fix it!!
Very interesting concept who is in charge of that belief??
Goddess us,next the nay sayers will try to maintain that
being a misogynist is a "culturtal right.."(said with
irony loved ones)!
“It’s my way or the highway” Or worse “you’re with us or
against us...” GB” said that! Hmmm and look where that has
taken the USA loved ones! Authentic leaders are inspired
and excited by change.
Authentic leaders inspire others, by exploring new frontiers
yet NEVER exploit nor patronize those they lead..Nor leave
others with less and then blame the other for the position
they’ve been left in!
Evolved leaders step lightly on the earth and commit to less
is best. Authentic leaders have the courage to believe in
"Carbon Neutral" futures...
Trustworthy leaders create the future with a collaborative
appraoch consistency and belief in ones convictions. MMm, take
note Julia good verbs and actions will work for you.
Authentic leaders are compelling in presence mind and spirit.
They are committed to motivate, empower, articulate and are
very innovative. Evolved leaders have enquiring minds, one
that makes room for new possibilities. Authentic leaders
embrace complexity calmly and confidently.
The link below is for those who are not familiar with “down under’
and useful to know what is going on beyond ones local frontier
and a look see at who influences who! Remember it is not about
you it is certainly NOT about me but it is about US...
linken.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Gillard
Oh Goddess us one would have to acknowledge with so many voices
to negotiate with Julia is giving it a “red hot go”( really no
pun intended darling!!)
So we at Vita say, "give a goddess a break! Bless her she as
one might say is at the "coal face" of politics! ( which is so
last century, as we know loved ones.)
She is wih no doubt up close and cringing, against the "great
wall" of patriarchy!" Not to mention having to listen to their
"NO can do approach", passé paradigms. Exhausting stuff when one
has moved mountains very quickly and dug into to brave new ways
of being in the 21st century!
I can assure you, it could well leave her my loved ones, very
cross on occasion "banging about in her kitchen cabinet,"(KFP)
See link below)...
linken.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Pepper_publishing
Often "times" I suggest, left wondering whether her approach could
do with a quick whip around the chamber, to keep all the ingredients
fresh and palatable. It may well be a particularly useful terchnique,
for those unable to grasp the essence of the future!
Or indeed she could give herelf a generous serve of meet me halfway
and gives herself a cheerful "well done" me! It may give way to know
and trust that souffle her soufflé will rise! Being a 70's girl I am
sure she is well acquainted with the benefits of sharing reasources
and the well loved progressive dinner.”
ITS NOT LEFT OR RIGHT NOR INDIFFERENT ITS VERY INCLUSIVE
THOUGH!!
One could suggest Australia does not necessarily have a “minority
government” “or getting into bed with the enemy’ blah blah blah...
It could well be said they’re simply reframing what a democratic
government could really be and become...
More independent voices, oh how terribly modern loved ones!MMM examine
and hear more than 2 sides of the story! Goddess love that paradigm!
We at “Vita” suggest Bob’s people are about to have their day in the
sun if people actually start paying attention!
Oh and “independents with good content could well become very very
fashionable very NOW very soon! The challenge is truly on US loved
ones and, up against the woeful yelling of the old guard…
Call them what ya will the patriarchy, the fear mongers, the nay
sayers, or worse “that is not possible people“. It could well
be said these “folk” (thanks KR) tend to take a “turn back the
clock” ‘I will stamp my foot and yell at you approach,”
YELLING AT OTHERS AND "I AM THE BOSS OF YOU" ARE NOT VIABLE
LEADERSHIP TOOLS
(It is a well known fact “never yell at others unless they’re
in danger”. Take note “TA ” and ya friends “Barnaby & Brandis”.
Some have said they are the real new mafia,"dirty carbon foot
gangsters! Leaving their mark spilling their garbage all over
the place and determined too make us all pay for their mess
and skepticism!
Yelling and the use of force are very unattractive behaviors,
not viable tools for clear communication! It is certainly does
not win the “hearts and minds” of the next generation committed
to a sustainable future nor for those born in the 21st century!
As Lady Gaga says "we were born this way"!
The NAY SAYERS AND THE LANGUAGE OF FEAR
Often time the nay sayers use the language of fear of the future
and speak of “annihilation” they are exhausting in their lack of
vision or hope! Those who speak of ‘annihilation” should be aware
very aware it could well be a large projection on their part!
VITA’S NEW VISTA’S
As I have mentioned previously, be aware and alert loved ones
“Vita's people and her "domain are step by step moving to the
Lower East Side of the mountain top. Yet will often times slip
very quietly into the East Village, to shake the cage mad raise
her voice at the world behaving very badly!
More on Vita’s love made visible international exchanges very
soon. See you all on Vita’s new cyber mountain with new wildly
exciting vista's...

Don’t ask what leadership has done for one ask what one
is doing for the love of inclusive empowering leadership

The Gift of the future it is truly "TIME" [World Politics] -
vitalingus - @ 02:17:pm
Change is Chaos Change uplifts US all
It truly is "TIME" loved ones!
We must all resist our reflex to resist change and
growth. When one truly enbraces change we ALL become
current and able to flow into a wiser enlightened
world! We are able to be more open loving ourself self
able to work together and grow to love and accept the
other.
We must all reassess and rethink old patterns of
behavior resist these patterns that stifle us. We
must evolve and live in our bigger selves to allow
a better world to evolve..
Be open to genuine progress love for what can be the
future and creative pursuits that enhance the future
happiness for us all. Move past old blocks and
are old reactive behaviors’. To create the future
we can commit and accept current changes that are
real and must be acted on NOW!!
“'Our federal caucus is in a precarious position,”
Gough Whitlam
It is time to reposition rethink outdated beliefs!
It is time to respond openly to our self and others
with hope honesty and collaboration.
WHAT MATTERS IS CREATING THE FUTURE
linkwww.whitlam.org/the_program/2012_what_matters_competition
When this occurs we are all able to revalue genuine
positions and needs. that will create open dialogue,
communication and genuine respect.
We are all capable of change, There is no longer a place
for controlling patriarchal tendencies, which steal our real
power. We must rise above ego based and fear driven pasts.
Don't allow denial of happiness to reign, examine where
one is caught by “I’m right you’re wrong”. Examine one’s own
actions behaviors and belief systems. It may well be time
to make some well earned adjustments and gracious gestures.
for the good of the whole!!
It may well open doors to a larger more fulfilling
world. Release old judgments of self and others. Get
real relax, act with verbs and actions. Step up have
confidence in the journey examine and embrace ones
genuine role in the big picture!!
Assess and examine what that role is and what that role
will become.. Honor ones soul and then one is CAPABLE
of honoring the other…Belief in the self brings belief in
others. We are as one is the adjustment that may well need
to occur!!
Having belief in our own worth, rightness and immortality is
the last veil we must all lift. When one does it will uplift
one and reunite us with the greater good the evolving self
within not without.
We must be brave and pull this thin, transparent veil aside
by truly choosing to engage fully with a willingness to grow
accept what is and what isn’t!
Choose to engage from ones true gift, wholeness over old
ego based fragmentation. fear pride and perceived control
over the other…When we lift the veils, of these dark clouds
we will be free from the past, only then can we all truly
“move forward”!!
It is time we choose the future not the past! This is essential
and can be achieved with dignity genuine grace that benefits
agreement for the whole.
Our divine inner self awaits our acceptance so it can bless us
all with the powers and gifts we have always possessed. Now is
the “TIME to live in ones bigger self share ones genuine gift
with the world so it benefits us ALL.
Be confident that if one express our truth we have nothing to
fear. The consequences are possibly our own fears. When we
express our genuine truth, we are able to move forward feel
confident we are able to be clear safe and move forward..
"The greatest test of all is the ability to heal oneself.
Choose to develop consciously,& be a model of the bigger self.
Humanity depends upon brave evolutionary women and courageous
revolutionary men to create and believe in the best for US all.
Those who choose to cultivate themselves and model what we can
create together is indeed thrilling with immense possibilities.
Let us reclaim the phrase `one nation.’ I seek a nation that
is truly one nation, one in which all Australians can share
regardless of race or gender, or other attribute, regardless
of where they live and where difference is not a basis for
exclusion. We do not live in such a country. We are not yet
truly one nation. But it is the task of political leaders to
build one.“
Senator Penny Wong
Senate Maiden Speech, 2002
Don’t ask what change has done to one. Ask whether one is
willing to be the change LJK

This broader inclusion enabled individuals and communities
Australia, to host and create their own sustainability event
at a local level. The Festival raises perception of living
sustainably and honoring the resources we have, promoting new
innovation and products.
In 2012, the Festival has expanded once again to reinforce the

integrity, by using less and utilizing more of what we
already have...
Ethical and sustainable values and products are a core aspect
of what one can see experience and purchase Highlighting very
