Occupy Love Is The New Earth Paradigm
I noticed on my blog Occupy Capitalism received a lot of hits. This was an article by Naomi Wolf. I have been surprised that so many people have looked. It reveals to me a discontent in the public with governments. The article depicts injustice against the Occupy movement. Whilst I think the truth should always be revealed I can see the anger it can create when people see through the veil of democracy and find a police state or power and control structures. It can easily escalate into fighting the machine or the State. My inner feeling has always been to generate love. I am a World Peace Clown, so for me, love is the way. We can so easily be caught up in misunderstandings and see them and us. What I love about being a clown is seeing us. Really I should do it full time and just be the change. The only challenge for me is energy. Although love for me is enormously joyful.
This below is more up my alley…. perhaps a clown alley (name for clown clubs in the US I learned).
Occupy love is following me on Twitter, I just loved the name and the essence.
How we need to approach life differently, love of course is the way, but it is the most difficult way when people are upset. How to love the other, it is very challenging, yet requires the greatest strength.
I definitely feel a vision moving us from Gross National Product (GNP) to Gross National Happiness. This will mean we move from taking (profit) to giving (abundance). It will require a complete shift in the paradigm of what we term real wealth. It is about feeling fully alive and living the life you dreamed and knowing that your life is supported by the universe. I’ve tested this theory and when I write my book it will be about how this has worked for me. It can work for you to, when you have the courage to trust life and follow your own rhythm.
Peace and love to you.

About The Film
What the film shows, triumphantly, is that love can unite as much as greed can divide. – Vancouver International Film Festival
The journey began with SCARED SACRED
The spark ignited with FIERCE LIGHT
The time is now to OCCUPY LOVE
THE FIERCE LOVE TRILOGY ARRIVES!
Join acclaimed director Velcrow Ripper (Scared Sacred, Fierce Light) on a journey deep inside the revolution of the heart that is erupting around the planet, as he asks the question, “How could the crisis we are facing become a love story?”
Occupy Love explores the growing realization that the dominant system of power is failing to provide us with health, happiness or meaning. The old paradigm that concentrates wealth, founded on the greed of the few, is causing economic and ecological collapse. The resulting crisis has become the catalyst for a profound awakening: millions of people are deciding that enough is enough – the time has come to create a new world, a world that works for all life.
The film connects the dots in this era of rapidly evolving social change, featuring captivating insider scenes from the Egyptian Revolution, the Indignado uprising in Spain, Occupy Wall Street in New York, Indigenous activists at the Alberta Tar Sands, the climate justice movement, and beyond. Woven throughout the action oriented backbone of the film is a deep exploration of public love, and compelling stories of an emerging new paradigm. It features some of the world’s key visionaries on alternative systems of economics, sustainability, and empathy, including Naomi Klein, Bill McKibben, Jeremy Rifkin, bell hooks and Charles Eisenstein. Meet the full cast here.
Occupy Love is a moving, transformative, heartfelt film, featuring Ripper’s signature stunning visuals and rich soundscapes. A powerful cinematic experience that will leave audiences inspired.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: Occupy Love is the movie I have been waiting to make, all my life. Today’s global awakening is what my earlier films have been anticipating and fostering – a current of potential that was pulsing and rumbling, just below the surface. Suddenly the volcano has erupted. As the popular Occupy sign reads, “The Beginning is Here.”
