Platform:
Much of what I want to see is not something that can be measured, but rather something that is experienced. I want to see change not just in the way we live, but in the way we think. I want to see change through the development of healthier habits and memes within culture. I want to inspire people to inspire other people. I want them to choose to care about the choices they are making in their life. I want to stand up in the fight against apathy. I want younger kids to put down their iPhones and pick up a paintbrush. I want to encourage and foster the shift in awareness… the awareness of our connection to reality and our ability to create within it.

We as humans have so much more potential then we are lead to believe. The reason we are not open to this is a result of the environment we are in. If we can alter our environment overtime, then we will change the way we live, and ultimately the way we see ourselves. I am here to fight for the generations who will follow us. Lets work to change the system from within. Yes this is a revolution, but it is a revolution of consciousness.

At the top of my list for tangible goals to accomplish as part of the council is to assist in getting fluoride out of the city’s water. Many people are adamantly against fluoride and I think this is a conversation that needs to be continued. There are many concerning things relating to fluoride that I have read through my own research – such as how back in the day scientist were paid off to fabricate results. How essentially fluoride is little more than waste product from nuclear industry’s uranium refinement and other sites. A lot of people understand that fluoride is corrosive and detrimental to the body and mind, but there are many who have little awareness of it at all. It is also concerning that the act of putting fluoride in the water is no different than a doctor giving someone ‘medication’ without their permission – this is a form of malpractice on a grand scale. So for the sake of the generations to come, I am going to do what I can to have the fluoride issue reevaluated and eventually removed from our water.
As community, we are privileged to have this unique opportunity within our wonderful city. It is good for youth to learn the political process how it is now, and give them a chance to interact and lead the decision-making processes of the future. I am confident in my abilities as a leader, and I feel my voice will add a valuable addition to the council. It is my intention to help facilitate the collective growth of our community on the micro and on the macro scale. This is an experience I am grateful to embrace.

“All my will is bent on change.
The universe is ours to rearrange.
Follow my lead and in fact you will see;
You create your own reality.
Concentrate on the shifting tides.
Recombinant the recurring mind.
A way to dislocate and reinvent time.
To reinterpret the cosmic paradigm.
Open your eyes to reclaim your prize.”

About Brendon:
Over the past few years I have been keeping myself pretty busy. Foremost, I completed production of If I Should Fall (www.IfIShouldFall.com), my first feature length award-winning, documentary. The film is the true story about 22-year old Trooper Marc Diab who was killed by an Improvised Explosive Device while in Afghanistan. It is a film about the tragedy of loss, the importance of remembrance, and the spirit of hope. On November 11th 2011, I arranged a free showing for the public at the Wolf Performance Hall – it was very well received. The film is currently available on DVD and can be purchased through the website. Proceeds go towards The Marc Diab Children’s Foundation and the Military Families Fund.

So needless to say, this film is a part of who I am and something I am proud of. It reflects my creative potential as an artist and my benevolent desire to help others. Though before production of this film even began, I was already busy creating the foundations of what is now Paradigm Shift London (www.ParadigmShiftLondon.com). Being a youth, I like to think like one. Growing up I had a curiosity about reality that was not being satisfied within common public spheres. After spending a lot of time doing my own research, learning stuff, getting into yoga, and spending time in Vancouver for a school internship, I eventually created Paradigm Shift as a club in Fanshawe College in 2009. I created it in order to find other youth in London who shared my curiosity and to practice talking about stuff as a group. Today, I describe Paradigm Shift London as “a youth initiated community that encourages open-mindedness, healthy living, and the evolution of consciousness.”

Through Paradigm Shift I have made many good friends and met many future leaders– people who genuinely care about living and want to make the world a better place. Recently in January, I represented youth as part of a panel discussion about the future at The Inspirational Expo 2012 here in London and also gave a separate 20 min talk. A video of this can be seen here > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jwHt08ZO94

In addition to other documentary projects I am working on, I am also doing ongoing video journalism in association with Paradigm Shift under the pseudonym Skull Babylon. (www.SkullBabylon.blogspot.com). To get more of an idea of who I am, feel free to check out the numerous videos I have put up thus far and keep and eye open for the many more in the future.

My hobbies include: Hockey, Parkour, PC Gaming, Poetry, Yoga, Meditation, Going Pro, The Skill, DA GAIMZ, Skateboarding, and Choosing to be the change I wish to see.

Happening August 13th, at Queen's Park in London, Ontario - Locally Organized Organic Knowledge (LOOK) is not just an event, but an idea. Organized by volunteers within the community, the day's events are a chance for networking and celebration. With music, vendors, games, activities, free knowledge, community round table discussions, and awesome vibes, this and future events are ideal chances for you to make the most of if you are in London.

In support of the event, I followed through with a quick last minute descision to document and get in on a scheduled radio interview that Jess, one of the organizers of LOOK, had planned with CHRW 94.9, the offical radio station for the University of Western Ontario.

Supporting an event like this by using my media skill-sets is important to me for numerous reasons. Not only do they strengthen the physical networking within the community, but it also promotes a more conscious eco-aware mindset. Similar to the Hundredth Monkey, the idea of being less egocentric and caring about the world around you and yourself in a nonselfish way has the potential to catch on.

I can say from my own experience that SPACELITE is an essential part of my future. It bassicaly helps your body turn back into a self functioning machine it is designed to be by counteracting all of the crappy stuff we have been ingesting into our bodies our entire life, like pop and candy. SPACELITE is part of a healthy conscious lifestyle. We live in a society where the diet is HIGH sodium, LOW potassium, when in reality it should be the exact opposite. If you are serious about becoming an active participant in the future then I highly recommend looking into SPACELITE and learning more. There is nothing else like it. Joe, my buddy in the film, invented it himself because he is a serious, genius, no bullshit kind of guy. Feel free to add him on facebook and he can talk to you more about SPACELITE. This is not some scam to sell a product, this is real life, this is about helping and empowering each other.

Joe's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/604joe

My experience having been using SPACELITE for almost 2 years is a stronger, more focused, more determined version of myself. It helps me as an athlete- no muscle burn, extreme endurance, and it even helps me in my meditation practice. It's litteraly putting natural crystals back into the body, and for those who know about how crystals amplify energy then you can see how this works.

As always feedback is appreciated and again I highly encourage you to look into SPACELITE and even take the next step to order some for yourself. You will not regret it.

The doors to the future are infront of you. The choice is yours.

Magic and Mystery in London

2011-07-04T09:14:00.000-07:00

Magic and Mystery in London
By SKULL BABYLON

The cameras turn a moment before I step off the bus. Downtown London; a domain I make my sanctuary. Riding the streets, jumping the grid. Flowing on my intuition, I step into the moment - a Saturday, the sun is out, the sky is clear, and people are making the most of it.

The only thing set on my agenda is to attend Mr.Eman's magic show about the mysteries of the unexplained. (www.mr-eman.com) Prior to the day, me and Mr. Eman had not met, but we had crossed paths years ago at a London Parkour event. Nonetheless, since I had arrived downtown early, I use the freeom to find some nearby Breakers to introduce myself to.

Caught up in a vortex of movement, the Breakers demonstrate some "raw authentic London talent". I applaud anyone who is willing to dance in the streets and allow themselves to become fearless in the gaze of strangers. Those are the kind of people who can change the world, one beat at a time. Check out more on these B-Boys at www.illatwill.com

Reassured that the core of the city is already alive, I head towards the Mysteries of the Unexplained. Upon meeting up with Mr Eman, I find him reading a book about the many Russian experiments relating to parapsychology. Parapsychology was the blanket term coined to refer to studies like extra sensory perception, intuition, clairvoyance, premonition, communicating with dead people, remote viewing, psychokenesis, shooting lasers out of your face, and other quasi-superhero related human abilities.

Though there were no seances performed, Eman did manage to tap into and demonstrate the workings of our collective consciousness. Clever in his performance, he allowed the audience to participate in A) developing their guessing habbits and B) genuinely attempting to pick up on unspoken information. Begining with something infinetly simple, Eman choses two shapes to draw, one inside the other. After he conjured up the sigil on a piece of paper as the sender, we the audience followed suit by trying our best to identify it as a reciever. Right away I intuitevly knew the correct answer. Coincidently enough I had spent several minutes the previous day drawing it repeatidly in a modefied version of Sierpinski's Triforce. The symbol? - A circle with a triangle in it. A symbol in itself which encapsulates a core essence of reality, to me at least. Of course I was not the only one who correctly predicted the shape, nor was I the only one who was not completly blown away by the fact that it happened.

As the act continued, the predictions procceded to get more complex. I eventually found myself participating on stage as me and Eman further demonstrated our ability to share unspoken thoughts. I have had plenty experiences to date that could be categorized under parapsychology. Magic trick or not, I am under the notion that by being aware that it can happen allows you to be more open to the possibility of it happening again.

"I have long felt that the conventional questions asked about telepathy ("Does it occur, and if so, how?") are less likely to be fruitful than the question: "If telepathy occurs at all, what prevents it from occuring all the time?" - The Roots of Coincidence - An Excursion into Parapsychology (1978)

Try not to believe anything, but be willing to experience everything. Chose to expand your perceptions and learn to see the world with new eyes. Allow the mundane to become magical, and every moment worthwhile.

Cleaning Up The Trash

Cleaning Up The Trash.
By SKULL BABYLON

The relationship between one's self and their enviorment should be built upon the foundations of respect. Out of all of the creatures who we share our space with, humans are the only ones who intentionally develop insolence towards this mutual bond. Why? Is it because of spite? Animosity? Vengefulness? Or even hate? No, we've all seen hate, and hate is not the reason why we don't walk twenty extra meters to put our styrofoam cup into the nearest garbage can. The reason is blatantly obvious - sheer laziness and gross negligence. Much as to how a mother is condemned for failing to provide proper care for her child, so too should we be diagnosed as psychotic for failing to care about the earth we walk on.

Yes we may call the earth our "Mother", but that does not give us the right to act like foolish children. We have been given plenty of time to evolve into maturity, as many of us have. Though in the absense of the many there exists a plethora of those who continue to mentally act like children - naive and irresponsible. These people have fallen into a dangerous sense of comfort under the constant impression that they don't need to worry about cleaning up the trash they leave behind because all their lives someone else has been worrying about it for them. They have been conditioned to be careless. Even though the numbers between those who don't care and those who are conscious are uneven, it is the duty of those who choose to take on responsibility to continue to act justly as both an individual and a leader.

Haily, of the Global Awareness Challenge, boldly takes on the responsibility without hesitation; as we all should. Modest in her actions, she has inspired many others to become more conscious of the roll they share with their enviorment. Each of us has the ability to inspire those around us and influence the direction of where the future is heading as a conscious society. Apathy is no longer cool. It's time to clean up the trash and get our heads in the game.
