Meanwhile, you may find yourself having sex with more than one person, or you may find yourself in a Rapture at a Tent Revival, or alone in meditation isolated at a secluded Retreat; or as a lay Exorcist confronting the Demonic while exorcising a Client, or as an Oracle possessed by a ‘Spirit’, or drinking Ayahuasca with a Shaman, or as a Vampire drinking Blood; whatever you must do to manifest your chosen destiny, fight for your Rights with all of your might, and with all of your wit. I am self-sovereign, so it’s important to me to codify into laws “The Right to be Strange” without harm to others, a Right to the ‘Fringes’ or ‘Outer Limits’ of what being alive on Earth as a Human can be, that at some point in all of our lives we must all ‘Step outside the Box’ and dare “The Road less travelled”.By necessity, and because I choose to, I fight for freedom from control, manipulation, coercion, or harassment from governments, private organizations, or anyone. I am the sovereign King of my Kingdom of one, Me. My allegiance is to me, and any Alliances or Allegiances to any Organizations, Collectives, Communes, Syndicates, or people with which or whom I choose to ally or align, including none, is solely my choice, and absolutely definitely not any government’s choice or decision. I claim Autonomous Sovereignty of my Life with Ownership of my Body and Name, and claim my inherent right to my liberty of freedom of choice and self-determination; it is my choice to choose my work, friends, lifestyle, partners, politics, beliefs, destiny, and fate.I am an International Citizen, at peace with everyone. I claim radical self-sovereignty and radical self-responsibility; and I say that all of us must claim our self-sovereignty and self-responsibility as fully independent and Autonomous Self-Sovereign Entities, with the liberty of freedom of choice of self-determination. All of us must claim our self-sovereignty as fully independent and autonomous self-sovereign Entities, with the freedom of choice of self-determination.Currently the U.S.A. Constitution is superseded by the Patriot Act, The National Security Act, other 'Acts' of Congress and of the Executive Branch, including several Presidential Directives by several Presidents over time. Fight for the restoration of all Constitutional Rights, Human Rights, Civil Rights, and Statutory freedoms and liberties, and fight to repeal all prior and subsequent negations and abrogations of our Rights.The revolution will not be televised. Rise, rebel, resist. El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido (the people united will never be defeated). Fight for access to information, fight for Human Rights, fight for Civil Rights, fight for Statutory Rights.. Do not be cowarded by 'them'. “We can beat them forever and ever. We can be Heroes”- David Bowie.COPYRIGHT ©2019, 2020 by Christopher Robin Lee.(Declaration of Autonomous Sovereignty is Public Domain.)(Notice__WARNING: Institutions, groups, or individuals accessing my web pages on this site or any of its associated sites do not have license to use any content in any form without written and properly executed permission of the author.

SACRED SITES AND SACRED SPACES

PART A: Why Sacred Sites and Sacred Spaces are so important to humanity.

A Sacred Space, which includes Sacred Sites, is a place intentionally designed to be a place for people to gather and have a communal spiritual experience. Sacred Space is a rhyme for a holy place.

The purpose of a Sacred Space is to relieve suffering; a place of curative powers.

A Sacred Space is a place to honor, respect, and have reverence for the mystery of existence.

A Sacred Space is a place to conduct deliberate, intentional acts which are designed to heal, such as a 'Healing Circle'; a
