My dear friend Michael Kenji Chapman has been struggling with a dangerous amount of insomnia these past four days. In his past, there have been four other occasions where he didn't sleep for up to a week straight (zero sleep!). This was a dangerous time where those closest to him were struck with fear and institutionalized him instead of helping heal him with love and compassion. He is very scarred by these experiences in his past, which explains his often dark outlook on life, but I know in sharing so much time with him these past 2-3 years, that he is a profoundly insightful, beautiful, gentle, and loving soul.
I declare, that I am not ashamed or afraid of dancing on the boundaries and limits of human consciousness with my dear friend and I WILL NOT let the system take this beautiful soul into their vice grips again. I simply will not allow it. I myself have tested the boundaries of sleep cycles before (in a very calculated way), and I am confident in my grounding and stand here today as Michael's protector and his lover, filled with with the fierce style of protective and caring love that only mothers have. How I can have type of love flow through me without having had a child is beyond my understanding, but it is real.
Now, Michael and I both recognize that he is at a dangerous tipping point where he is on the brink of what society would consider insanity and he needs all the love and support he can get! For me, I am unafraid and stand by him as his protector everyday because to me, insanity is really just a word for things we cannot understand combined with a very intense driving life-force energy. We as humans must accept that we are limited by our senses and perceptions, and this statement can be easily be proven by how the human eye can be tricked into thinking that static pictures are a smooth and moving when we put them in quick succession-- this is what we call movies, and that is why there is so much magic in movies.
A CALL TO ACTION:
*** If there are any real people left here on facebook-- I ask now, that you send Michael Kenji Chapman encouraging messages / wall posts / friend invites to help him feel support and give him peace and rest through this difficult time. Actually, I he should be able to see your messages of encouragement if you just comment here too. If you feel moved by this post, please feel free to share it on your page as well and pass the message along.
Helping people who are normally marginalized by the system is an important task that we must all undertake together for the prosperity and future of humanity. Love (shared vulnerability), compassion, and inclusion is how we as humanity need to address marginalized people such as those we label as "insane", "criminals", "murderers"and "deviants." We cannot blame and fear others, we can only blame and fear ourselves and our culture. So if we want change, we must change ourselves and in doing so, change culture entirely.
Michael and me, we are starting a social-movement called Inoqoa (or Inoqoa Alliance). For now, we will organize as a facebook group because we must reap the seeds that have been sown here on this platform, but our vision is much much bigger and we will be slowly sharing more about our movement in the near future. In short, we are leading an all encompassing social movement, counter-culture, alternate currency, and constructed language that is honest about power and revolves around the Seven Values of Exchange: Honor, Humility, Patience, Prudence, Kindness, Integrity, and Resolve.
More to come Thank you for reading.
