Gaia: Dags Anonymous

Re: Zaadz Dags Solutions for world peace

I am putting together a community, an online Village that is based on Joy and is dedicated to helping like minded people connect, grow and prosper.

Rainbow River is a village with a big heart and a global mission.

Rainbow River is a community dedicated to creating a world filled with Joy and Abundance. It is a place where you can find intelligent, authentic, generous, kind, imaginative and creative people who are serious about following their dreams and supporting you with yours.

“Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served.

But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness

before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.” Gandhi

It does not matter whether you sell widgets or seminars, books or baked goods, if you are following your Joy you are being of service to the world.

There are some people, who live in a dream world,

and there are some who face reality,

and then there are those who turn one into the other

...Our Mission is to turn the dream of Paradise on Earth into reality.

Our Mission is to help you find your jewel, your joy, your bliss and to support you in living your best life. Our mission is to celebrate your power and support you as the leader that you are and can be...

Our Mission is to be New Activists and stand together for what Can Be instead of what is...

Our Mission is to build a solid global community of businesses and individuals that believe in doing what’s right and believe in a joyful and abundant life for all.

To do this we will:

Support programs and experiences that offer conscious community, and encourage individuals to find and express their own unique joy.

Grow our Community, our Rainbow River until we shine brightly from every neighborhood, in every country.

Expand our presence in the world by continually seeking new ways to broaden our visibility and accessibility, creating opportunities that invite a diversity of individuals to express their joy and find deeper meaning in their lives.

As a community, support each other through ongoing programs, online-community-based sharing, patronizing each others businesses and recognition of the value of each individual’s service in the world.

Research new programs always seeking to maintain a global outlook rather than being doctrinaire.

Maintain unwavering belief in and commitment to our Vision.

Do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can.

Make our ultimate life objective to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. We know that if we settle for doing less than we could do we will fail in this worthiest of undertakings.

Know that results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day before.

Know that the greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of who and what they have become.

The time of the Rainbow Tribe is now. Join the river and accelerate the change…

I am creating my own so people can escape the boundaries of government, religion, race color, gender or creed and just BE ! I see so many online. Please share more of these places with the groups. Love and Light Patricia

Do you suffer from feelings of inferiority because you don't seem to fit in, are you too afraid to show your true self in public because people seem to look at you funny. Are you a closet dag? Share your issues with Dr. Can and all the wize folk in our dag club and we'll do our best to help you. Can can help.

Poor Ren...Hail Queen of dags Can

http://maryfairy.gaia.com — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 12:37:56 GMT

Poor Ren. Yes dorks count, however you seem to be suffering not from dorkilitis but the more common disease of nomalisationitis- the inability for any human to be completely normal in society as there is no norm, yet finding oneself bemused and dejected all the same. Hail Queen Can. I confess I was amongst that lucky little group of dags and fell happily into lunchtime jigs, rituals, spinning and cacking out. A dag gives up on cool and lets the inner dag rule. Well we did any way. It can't promise status but it can promise fun. Favourite dag memory? Spinning around as fast as we could on the oval and then falling down to watch the clouds spin in glorious chaos, imagining we were on drugs like in the book 'Go Ask Alice', while cooler kids probably watched us thinking "what they hell are they on?" Just life, and wasn't it so alive and free at fifteen?

I would like to invite you all to join a new pod. The Smaction Love Corp. aka. Love in Action.

This was a new board (at the request of the creator) on the zaadz Love Corp pod just before it disappeared.

Let’s spread love…

Daggy Adventures

http://clearwater.gaia.com — Sun, 24 Sep 2006 01:56:17 GMT

I'd like to hear your dag stories. Perhaps it's just an outfit you like to wear that gets you strange looks or earns you the catch phrase "ya big dag!" or something silly or funny you do. Let it all hang out.

My daughter said that instead of guns and bombs, both sides in a war should be given water pistols and water bombs. I think that pillows could also be allowed. lol

Like Can said, "...However in accepting your dagginess, dorkism, nerdishness or whatever and loving yourself anyway lies the key to your freedom, on the world stage, at home or in relationship with others..."

Accept your discomfort with a smile, a shrug, an oops, a shake of the head...

How 'bout Dicks?????

Wed, 20 Sep 2006 12:53:01 GMT

OK. So we've established that dorks are a sub division of dags, but what about Dicks. Because this is the crux of the matter for me. I fully support, treasure and love the dag in me. The dork in me I can appreciate and enjoy, even those awkward squirming moments. But what I find difficult to fully accept is the dick. Sometimes moments of dagginess esculate, the more you try to save the moment, the bigger the hole you dig for yourself and the bigger the *dick you become**, Generally this is a simple case of foot in mouth disease. Accidently insulting people happens quite often to me, not because I am malicious, but simply because I forget to check the words entering my brain before they leave the mouth. Lately during some of these episodes I fully felt the exquisite pain of the moment, It felt like all the blood was draining out the bottom of my feet, while hot tar was being poured in through my ears. I think that embracing dagginss is actually the true road to Enlightenment. It teaches you to live in the now by turning your face red and giving you the feeling your guts are about to fall out, It teaches you compassion and forgiveness (the only other alternative being insanity) and It quietens the mind { you could hear a pin drop!!!!!!!}

* I am from New Zealand where the word Dick is used as an insult meaning a foolish, pathetic or stupid person

Re: DO DORKS COUNT?

http://clearwater.gaia.com — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 02:52:11 GMT

Yes, of course dorks count!!! Count yourself a dag! Not all dorks, I mean dags are blissfully ignorant of their condition. Many have painfully hoarded away their desires to dress and look differently and swallowed down their silly jokes, in fear of the awkward silence that often follows when others don't laugh or "get" them. My partner is a dork I'd say (a slightly unique manifestation of a dag) and I take liberty to share some of his peculiarities (hopefully when he joins this pod he won't mind but might try to get me back by sharing some of mine - oh well I don't care, I won't be embarrased - I don't think?). My darling is accident prone, I like collecting beautiful crockery and he likes breaking them (not on purpose). Well actually he doesn't "like" breaking them, but we've collected a lot of nice pieces for a really good mosiac one day. In the meantime we decorate our garden with "my special" broken cups, plates etc. He is very forgetful. Say I've sent him to the shop for the express purpose of getting some milk, four hours later he'll return home perhaps with other things or perhaps not, and when I ask him about the milk he'll reply... "What milk?" "Oh, the milk!!!" Then proceed to bang his head on the wall (well only occassionally) and call himself a dork. He spends so much time making mistakes and then calling himself all manner of names and ridiculing himself, it really is a viscious cycle. I have to learn to let go of being annoyed at him for forgetting, it won't get me anywhere or help him. Fortunately he can also laugh at himself and we get a lot of good laughs out of it. Plenty of ideas for skits for a commedy show or funniest home videos. I think dork is said in a derogatory way as is dag sometimes, but both can be good humoured terms of endearment. I think it's about accepting your faults and inadequacies, not taking them too seriously and learning to laugh at yourself. Let go, what does it all matter anyway. We ALL have inadequacies, problems, fears, phobias and are just plain weird. There is no such thing as normal. Normal is what's accepted and is often a pretence anyway by those that are too afraid to accept their uniqueness in a critical society. Hang out with other dorks and dags so that you don't feel alone and begin to feel comfortable being yourself. Try some good humoured bantering and teasing, by laughing at (well not at but with, in a harmless way with no intention to wound) each others and your own ridiculous traits and experiences to take off the pressure of being labelled "outcast, bad, dumb, idiot, stupid, not acceptable" etc. Tics are a real good source for humour, if you exaggerate your tic the one you have will become less worrisome. I guess it can also work to disguise your real one or your embarasment by making a joke of it. Make others laugh as well. Well they might just think you're an idiot but that's probably because they haven't accepted their inner idiot! Any dag will love your tic and the ability to be able to share it in good humour with others. I think a lot of the problem with dorkiness is suppressing the real self and being uncomfortable expressing that so not being able to speak up, tripping over because you're perhaps worrying, feeling awkward (and so you become akward), in your head and not being present, so you don't notice your surroundings and walk into a wall. The wall is your self, the wall you have imprisoned your true self behind. In this pod we love all dags and dorks so welcome and learn to love YOU too! Dags often have a gift for commedy (did you know ADD or ADHD is often a dag trait or symptom too?). Dags and dorks have a gift to give the world in teaching others to be humble, to laugh, not take life or themselves so seriously, to be "light"-hearted. The problem is when the blissfully ignorant dag or dork is a narssisist, like my dad, that's scary! But many of us have an inner need for attention and might show off, well that's another manifestation of poor self esteem as well. The need to be validated and approved of, often incurring disaproval by his actions. Any attention is better than none even if it's negative is the catch phrase. However in accepting your dagginess, dorkism, nerdishness or whatever and loving yourself anyway lies the key to your freedom, on the world stage, at home or in relationship with others. Be proud to wear your rainbow socks and roman sandals, many a hippie would think you "cool"!

Are dags and dorks the same???? Dagginess conjures up images of purple trousers, silly hats, messy hair. geekiness, food stains on clothes, clumbsiness, etc...whereas the dork is perhaps more aware of his predicament, self conscious and uncomfortalbe. Perhaps the dork is a dag who is not fully accepting of him/herself. A dork is someone who is generally talked over in conversations because when they do talk it is either inaudible or comes out in a gibbery mess. As I said dorkiness tends to be a chronic condition, developed at an early age and then becoming acute after years of negetive outside input.
The dag is more accepting of herself because she has a blessing of being slightly off the planet and thus unaware of any separation in a negetive sense from the rest of society. The dag is blissfully ignorant, childlike and innocent. The dork on the otherhand knows that they are not quite "right" and thus fear is born. I have spent many a year denying my rainbow socks and roman sandals. So what to do? What IS the next evolutionary step????? And is there even one....or are these the random mumblings of terminal dorkitis????

A giggle (or sock slide which will of course bring on a fit of giggles if you are truly embracing your Dagdom) a day keeps the doctor away.

Works for me.
Do you delight in your"uniqueness?.
How 'bout the rest of dagdome...don't you think dork is just another manifestation of dag???

DO DORKS COUNT?

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 20:18:08 GMT

I have chronic dorkalitis coupled with foot in mouth disease, does with count as being a dag??? As my condition often leads to intensely awkward moments, lack of friends and being ostracized by most of society, I am unsure that it can be included with the benevolent whackiness of Dagginess.........however I have recently developed several facial ticks!!!..........is this a symptom????
