Inspiration, Innovation, and Invention: Defining a bigger picture for the human creative process


Innovation is a misrepresented characterization of humanity's creative process.
It is too often used to describe the entire process of manifestation. Whereas innovation is actually sandwiched in… Continue

A word on white elephants, expectations, and changing normal.

A few of you have begun to ask questions. THIS IS SO WONDERFUL!

Interesting though, I am watching the level of expectation that immediately follows a question that is not getting quickly answered in a satisfying way. I noticed how quickly frustration set in because they didn't have… Continue

Introducing the new silo .... same as the old one :/

One of the biggest flags that I want us to watch out for is 'silo' reproduction. By this I mean that, as we build new structures to contain new knowledge, we must recognize and ask pointed questions about the silo's design. New knowledge held in (what are called) new silos, more often than… Continue

She is US.

Of love, truth, and beauty.

To Change Normal - Attempt To Know Your Place In The Nest

To Change Normal ...

What if we first assume our assumptions are mere assumptions? What if we assume something different about what we assume about our assumptions? (hmmmmmmmm; gotta think about this for a minute :/ ) Such as for example: What if our place in consciousness is embedded within a Greater System of conscious Knowing , and that is made up of other Systems, which is enmeshed w… Continue

Challenges of Community and Collaboration



Being an aficionado for collaboration, so much so that I've created a job for me being a Collaboration Ecologist, recently more often than not I've come to inquire into the question, "If, as seems to be the case, many if not most people and organisations in the world seek coll… Continue

The Reappearance of Mythical Dragons ... Portal to 'Changing Normal'

Mythical dragons appear,
During this renewed era of 'once upon a time',
As we realize a collectively conscious global culture.

"Ahhh yes: The Dragons.

They will begin to appear in the sky;

Fireballs of hell will be one's first impression -

Intro Section I

by Bill Ellis



CHAPTER #1 -- THE FOUNDATION

For some 2000 years or more civilization has been ruled by a social paradigm on which all aspects of the EuroAmerican cultures are been based -- the “dominator paradigm.” In the past 2 two decades a new social paradigm has been emerging that could have the most, deep, fundamental impact on human civilization since humanids first came down from the trees. The old paradigm placed humans in a purposeful universe created by some super normal power for t… Continue

The Question is the Answer in a World of Uncertainty

In the name of a principle that I live by, namely: "The Question is the Answer", I propose the following elaborate questions. Maybe you can come up with a few yourself and build on this set? (There are no stupid questions. Rather, what is stupid are our assumptions that the answers should be known without as… Continue

Web Technology as Sacred


Digg!

The Web has reached a level of maturity where it can be viewed as an extension to our interconnected conscious selves. With the Planet now growing its own neural network (i.e. a global brain) 'Learning' takes on a new integral role as meta-teacher/student. This perspective brings a new dimension to our idea of 'global awareness' and stretches the meaningfulness of '… Continue

Imagination is our single most important asset for creating the future

Here is a quote from Rob Brezsny on what's in our stars for the future. Now, astrology at a surface level may be a bunch of hoky poky. But, when studied at it's deepest levels, one finds it disturbingly correct and and personally guiding. Who the hec came up with this astro stuff? And how does it 'really' work? Anyway, astrology is not really the subject here.… Continue

Orrrr ... Donating even just $3.33 will help keep this adventure going. Only three dollars and thirty three cents (3 is a magic number for me : ) A few green-backs (3 1/3 to be exact) start to add up. So your donation will actually go a longggg way in helping to 'change normal' : )


HELP KEEP THIS ADVENTURE GOING. Consider donating between $3.33 or $33.33 to help make it so. Email me, Vic Desotelle, if you have any questions.
