Free Thought & The Future of Self: the World of Social Media

Dainty in the pond of thought
"Dainty": Into the Pond of Thought

Where will our minds go?
"The Future of Self"

Curiosity Beckons

As we each become more Internet savvy, questions arise as to whether or not this direction has been good for humans on a Philosophical scale.
Experientialism with Freedom of Thought is more possible than ever, decisions & opinions to stalwart with. Communicating on Social Media and finding interests well-suited to our own.
The old "no-choice" of being glued to past rhetoric now has a chance to lift away,
the veil of thousands of yrs of have-to's, due to strict religious and political mechanisms of control, has been lifted.
Freedom of thinking and the ability to communicate those individual thoughts is a powerful gift.
A gift that allows for completeness and substantiality of "being human",
a new thought passage for many, a chance to live with our thoughts.
Thoughts non-wasted, and allowed to earn respect in agreement.
Victorian Colonial Family

Victorians Be Gone

Without this new chance of freedom, far away from the Victorian & Colonialist Eras,
we would still be captive prisoners of societies "standard heeds" and "warnings", filled with superstitious beliefs, that for centuries have put millions under control.
"But I love tea-time!", don't get me wrong I adore tea-time also.
Biscuits and beautiful teasets, with a time for purposed "Civility".
Beyond rituals of scheduled fun, there were ritualistic thinking patterns during the last few centuries, heavy with societal ordinances:
Such as... :
How "humans" relate with animals as animals-only, and rarely were they seen as pets (companion animaux).
Compliances such as Family Sunday Dinner after Church,
Never speaking out of turn towards a parent or elder, regardless of their "sane or non-sane" reasoning.
Devout religious rituals and pious sanctity of chastity holding moral vices on every living soul.
Where Puritanical ruled for centuries.
"Mum is the word", "better left unsaid", "It's been our way"
The age of writing a letter, being the main method to initiate the possibility of a courtship, to even spark the chance of a life-long marriage.
mind mechanism

What a Break-Out!

In order to pursue this gift of "free thought thinking",
each of us must be allotted the time, else we feel incomplete and sent back into those restrictive historical eras.
Social media has become our new thought-resource "speak-out" event, in which to obtain even more free-thought thinking.
A place where we can each make decisions of whether: "to follow or not follow" the lead.
Although as empty and vast, it can feel to each person by being online,
it does offer the chance to disclose ideas, in which to pool towards a higher human self.
A human self generous, ethical, intellectual, "World-purposed as opposed to being Self-purposed".

The Crude Past

The disclosure of thoughts processes from oneself is an important new beginning, for the much of the human race.
Whereas prior, only a certain few were granted the privilege to "Ponder",
While the others lived in their mired sweat-factories and mills, entertaining "crude aspects of personality", being their only norm.
It will take time for generations to grab hold of this new allowed freedom though.
Due to years of inherited & taught conditioning from "ruled" perspectives.
My Quick list of...
Motivational & Philosophical
Youtuber's:
Although as empty and vast, it can feel to each person by being online,
One day though, I do believe many people will be true "Free-thought thinkers",
"Creators", where their mind-sight is enriched from having the new ability to draw their own conclusions, gained by their discovered insight and experiences.
Where personal satisfaction grows-up,
and looks forward to the new daily expansion;
of free participation to share and continue formatting ones own belief systems.
Where like a brook, that rarely new the rain, the expanded mind now has the chance to flow.
beautiful pond
Therefore to be online, is not just the first flippant extreme held for years as "this is my funny gag".
Oh no, we definitely have the opportunity each to go past those moments of sheer stupid human tricks,
or idle non-caring.
Towards a future, rich into the philosphical aspects of self, where maturity becomes a true satisfaction.

A Pool of free-thought?

As time goes on, we will not be just a pool of chorinated toxics, but rather a beautiful thought pond: an ideal gathering of life's constructs;
where frogs, dragonflies, birds & fish inhabit along a flowing river surrounded by willows & pines, with cool water perfect to step into during the days heat.
Do we resent online? Yes, especially when it's turned into a media glitch of non-discovery. All in good time, the ads will not be so required, companies will be appropriated for their efforts, in other ways, and we can finally be able to live within the game of our thoughts and expression.
Our compelling worries & woes, our new creates, and our expressions of love and joy will be never be leashed again.

Garden Club Memberships: Worldwide

English Cottage Garden
A Simple & Sedate English Garden

Creation of the
"World Garden Club"

Starting Garden Clubs: per city: a money maker for approx. 150 people min. per city. Then, further increasing the potential with increased memberships adding even more Garden Houses. Goal of over 1000+ cities-suburbs to participate, where the old basic $200,000 in revenue, for 1 city, could increase into approx. 20 billion a yr worldwide:
small chart

$1000 to each Garden House per yr.

The starting payouts to 100 "Garden House" people per 2000 members
would increase to payouts for 10,000 people per 200,000 members per city.
On a global scale with 1000 active cities, creating payouts for 10,000,000 people worldwide each yr.
All the while reducing city temperatures.

2000 Members:100 Gardens Per City

In the look for an income out of these rally round houses across the world, there is one commonality, & usually that is a garden space. Gardens large and small can create a new garden economy while the current economy is rewarded through this design. Every person with a career or an extra $1000, is always helpful to spur economic stability.
Shofuso Garden
Shofuso Japanese Garden
I begin with a basic goal of 2000 members per 100 gardens, 10 gardens to visit per member: but obviously this is a minimum and the real future goal would be much higher, working up to 200,000 members per 1,000,000 houses, with 10,000 gardens of availability.
The gardens houses can each be given names, "Lavender Lane", "The Cherry Castle", etc.
& Yearly votes to the winning Gardens. Gaining them even further notoriety for Home, Garden & Building Store Advertising Opportunities. Where Home Depot or Lowes would use their images in their Garden center campaigns.
The plan is simple and offers a chance for 3-10 year round jobs, per 2000 members with a side income of $1000 per garden house per yr. If expanded across 1000 cities, and as membership numbers increase it will be a wonderful economic boost.

Basic Plan

  • 2000 members, membership fee of $100.00 each per yr.
  • 10 Garden showings per Garden per Summer. 20 visitors only per garden showing.
  • 10 different Garden House visits per membership per Summer.
  • Each of the 100 Garden houses receives $1000.00 for participation and being selected.
  • Profit potential per 2000 members: $200,000
  • From the $200,000, $100,000 goes to pay the 100 Garden Houses, the other $100,000 pays the year round workers, office supplies and any adverts.

Booking Days

  • Garden Houses can book their 10-day showing schedule for a shorter duration or all throughout Summer. ie. Bookings for Senior Days only during the week, or just Family Days on the Week-ends. Shorter durations would be within 2-3 weeks of bookings, ie. 3 week days and 2 week-ends for 2 weeks of visitor tours vs 10 Saturdays.
  • Garden showing hours limited to decent times: 10:00 to 2:00 or 9:00 to 12:00 in desert regions.
  • Each Garden House showing day would have to be for 20 members per booking and not less. Unless there were no-shows.
  • Booking software normally used for to book vacation rentals, could be modified for the Gardens.
  • Pet friendly needs to be noted, so animals aren't kept in cars, some sites could also offer a play room for the dogs.
  • Drinks availability would be up to the Garden house, usually donations would be easiest for water or juice.
    wedding gardens
  • Party Day Option: extravagent, with caterers, music and bartenders, magicians and doves etc. This optonal "pay more per visit" could be added for a few days & that party income and planning going to the Party Garden House only, and not the club. The club would only handle the booking and could transfer the extra ticket value paid for the booking. ie., $25 dollars extra per member. Note: Party houses would require seating in their gardens to match the ambiance. Weddings could also be booked on party days, but the guests would all have to be garden club members. with a choice for different # of hours and times also, ie. 2:00 - 6:00pm.
  • Members would also get to choose favorite visiting days, ie. Thursdays, Saturdays, to match their schedule for their specific 10 garden visits. As well, the database has to weed-out their former visted gardens from being a choice each yr.
  • Email reminders of their 10 house visit days and a schedule for each Summer, with some type of punch card for the members with each seasons: "10 Garden House Names". Garden house greeters, would punch out their cards out, on arrival.

Other opportunities & benefits, to add into the business plan:

  • Networking Potential: Visitor books for each garden house would be a nice touch. The Garden House people could make this event similar to a Networking meet and greet to pursue other business goals.
  • Include a twice-a-year "cuttings buy-sell or swap show" for the members. This venue would require either a rented: large field space with tables or an indoor center. A nominal entrance fee, to pay for facility space, and a chance for a side profit for locals who garden and want to sell off some rare cuttings or seeds. Typical basic vegetation cuttings should be free though.
  • Local garden stores will have increased sales & garden staff, due to the new attraction of people wanting to be selected as a "Garden House". Which beautify city and suburb spaces, as well as help local economies.
  • A few more extra jobs will be created for Pergola & Greenhouse Builders, Pond & Fencing builders and even Garden Designers for the truly elaborate gardens.
  • Eventually, as the number of Garden Houses increases per city, online mapping services could include the houses name tag, all of which advance property values. If 1 out of every 5 houses is accepted & becomes a Garden House, then well, that's like 1 out of every 5 houses receives 1 free month to pay their (average) mortgage, which further helps to stabalises the property market.

Using this basic business model to support the "Cultural Arts"

  • Opera-Ballet-Music: Opera Houses* with season tickets. *building rent or leasing would best if the city and/or federal gov. waived the costs, then more dancers, actors, singers, musicians could be hired per venue. Thereby, enhancing the economy.
    $100 for 5 shows with 2000 season subscriptions = $200,000 revenue before wages & costs.

Environmental Benefits

  • Aside from being a mini-money maker for the Garden Houses, every year, local wildlife: hedgehogs, frogs, lizards, bees, butterflies & birds will be able to find more and more elaborate gardens and prosper.
  • Gardens all on there own, can reduce city temperatures by 5-15 degrees. So more gardens means less chance of climate-related heat strokes etc. Therefore, the goal of adding thousands & thousands of new Gardens to every city is key to reducing further Climate upsets.

Vaux "Baux" History: 800AD to "Visigothic Balti"

Vaux's & Baux's en Provence

My Mother's Genealogy Work

The Vances from Mexico, Alabama, Mecklenburg, Ireland, Scotland & France:
I will blog further about the Visigothic Balti, but not in this blog which is really about the important Vance & Vans history link, after the 3rd file image:
detailing info about the three "de Vaux" brothers Hubert, Randolf & Robert originating from the William Conqueror era and Castle de Baux.
Mary "Vaux" Vance was more of a teaser mom about the past, after all, the family had carried years & years of surnames memorized from generation to generation, in practical song.
A bit of a boring repetitive, yet "a worth" to them especially during their impoverished times. You see the Vaux name itself brought with it the character of loyalty, valor, "be faithful" & courage.
A mis-balance I've found in this line is the forget of the woman, many of the wives were not given the same name prestige as I've discovered with other lines from the same era. So when researching there are many missing histories from the spouse lines.
The Rev Vans is also a problem, with his correct birthdate, supposedly a graduate from St Johns College & Cambridge, then later the added "of Kilmacrean" town name in Ireland. Plus there are possibly 3 generations of Rev Vans from Barnbarroch with a Sir Patrick Vans in the middle.
My Royal Mum: Queen Mary of France & her Father: Richard "Vaux" Snow* Vance:
Photo's are from the Interior of Mexico, at the bank, and later to a wedding to bestow gifts to the bride to be, in one of the worst currency times in history. When the Peso fell, during the 50's. Still exhuberant with "Joie de Vivre". Mary had to return her diamond bracelet shortly thereafter..
* Snow is an Indian line Reference from Sitting Bull

I did find this paperwork today, about our descent as "Baux" and Baux de Provence, which could be very helpful to genealogists. Mentioning the Visigothic Balti, etc.
All great, and wonderful for myself as well, matching my own sure thing, with easier substantiated truths with familysearch.org.
The Library files are not scanned in, rather a link to the manuscript: but the first 2 files listed below are scanned into family search.
In ernest, I did not want to rebuild a castle that didn't belong within the family line.
So now, any of the "Catapult" & ("Fontaine" Fountain are separate) taxes collected henceforth, can be further legitimized.

Scottish Vaux Genealogy

There's a couple of links about the Baux de Provence Castle Rebuild, from the Catapult tax: (as my ancestors "Baux" inventored the Catapult), the small 300 Euro tax pays for the rebuild, paid by Owners of Chateau's within the EU : check payment link.
"35 Euros per month or 300 Euros per yr.
from each, chateau, keep, or castle owner
within the European Community. "
"Additionally, those with fountains must also assume the higher yearly "Fontaine Taxe"
A tax per fountain, for each large estate or city, typically 1-5 fountains."
