Hälsning från Fjärde internationalen till SP:s kongress: Kära kamrater i den svenska sektionen! Från Fjärde internationalens sekretariat sänder vi våra varmaste hälsningar till er kongress och hoppas att era diskussioner blir både upplysande och fruk…
Man has made progress from the bow and arrow to the atom bomb, from the bullock cart to the jet plane that travels at 1,600 miles per hour. That is generally called progress. But is there progress in any other direction, inwardly? Have you, as an individual, progressed inwardly? Have you found anything for yourself? We know what other people have said and what they say they have found, but have we found anything for ourselves? Are we more charitable, more kind? Are our minds more expansive and alert, inwardly? Have we put away fear? Without that, to make progress in the world, is to destroy ourselves.
Amongst AI written, ad driven content nowadays, it is nice to see some genuine reviews. Super happy with the fact that the author also talks about the trade-free idea a bit and even mentions VideoNeat.
There is progress in the field of mechanical science, progress with regard to machines, cars, modern conveniences, and the conquering of space. But I am not referring to that kind of progress, because progress in mechanical science must ever be transient; in that, there can never be fulfilment for man. There can be no fulfilment for man in mechanical progress. There will be better cars, better aeroplanes, better machines, but fulfilment is not to be realised through this continual process of mechanical perfection – not that I am against machines. When we speak of progress, as applied to what we call individual growth, what do we mean? We mean the acquiring of more knowledge, greater virtue, which is not fulfilment.
We have a system that ruthlessly prevents the fulfilment of each individual, and an organised system that, through authority, dogmas, beliefs and fear, destroys individual discernment of reality or truth. Action born of this search for security is continually creating limitation, bringing about frustration. There is no completeness, fulfilment. There can be the welfare of mankind only when each individual truly fulfils. To realise individual fulfilment, you who are now so many repetitive reactions, cogs in a social and religious machine, have to become individuals by questioning all values – moral, social, religious – and discover for yourselves, without following any person or system, their true significance. You will then discern that these values are fundamentally based on egotism and selfishness. The mere imitation of values, whose deep significance you have not understood, must lead to frustration. Instead of waiting for a miraculous change or a mass movement you, the individual, must awaken; you have to come into conflict with the values you have established thro

That's a super calm, almost like a lake Baltic sea. I was on a short trip in Latvia. IT was super freezing there, temperature was between -10 and -15 degrees. But I have done quite a lot during 3 days. 1) I filmed Baltic Sea and some shoots for my documentary. 2) Did Interview at radio NABA (students Radio station) 3) Interview at Latvian Radio, which was live , and in a program about hunting and fishing :) Which I did knew before. But everything went very good. 4) Had an interview with Latvian larges news portal Delfi LV - there will be big article about activities which I do. It will be out this Sunday. 5) Was filmed by National Latvian TV Channel in a program "Vides Fakti". It's a series about nature, wildlife, ecology and conservation.

Hello in a new 2026 !
That's a super calm, almost like a lake Baltic sea. I was on a short trip in Latvia. IT was super freezing there, temperature was between -10 and -15 degrees. But I have done quite a lot during 3 days. 1) I filmed Baltic Sea and some shoots for my documentary. 2) Did Interview at radio NABA (students Radio station) 3) Interview at Latvian Radio, which was live , and in a program about hunting and fishing :) Which I did knew before.

Very good program, and I am super happy to be in, and that they filmed me for the next series. 6) Filmed some video for another Latvian TV show for kids.
Some other plans for January : I am still waiting for permission to release video from Turkey with Dolphins. Hopefully this days. I need to finish video from Madeira - this week Work more on documentary. Next week we are going to Sweden, to film Eric, for almost final episode of the Documentary.
+ I am applying for some grants. I hope to receive at least 1 tiny grant this year. otherwise it's getting harder and harder keep going.
Dude you are on fire!! Make sure to not burn out. Very happy for you and kudos for keeping it up! I hope you can get the grant and I am looking forward for your new videos.
It sucks...I wish I can say more but there isnt much to say. Even if you cant continue like that, maybe you can scale it down and focus on projects that are closer to you so you dont have to spend on traveling.
If it was easy to do what you do, in this society, and sustainable, would not make much sense considering how fucked up the society is.

I installed this on my laptop last weekend. I've never installed an OS before and it took a few tries. Kept failing at the very end with the bootloader. I found your logs of the same problem, and finally got it to work. So far I like it. Some things are taking some time to figure out, but I'm getting there. I very much like the aesthetic.
Sex becomes a problem when there is frustration. When work, which should be the true expression of our being, becomes merely mechanical, stupid and useless, there is frustration; when our emotional lives, which should be rich and complete, are thwarted through fear, there is frustration; when the mind, which should be alert, pliable, limitless, is weighed down by tradition, self-protective memories, ideals and beliefs, there is frustration. So sex becomes an over-emphasised and unnatural problem. Where there is fulfilment, there are no problems. When you are in love, vulnerably, sex is not a problem. For the one to whom sex is mere sensation, it becomes an urgent problem, eating away at your mind and heart. You will be free from this problem only when, through action, the mind frees itself from all self-imposed limitations, illusions and fears.
