We need only to ask; is what every we are doing beneficial or harmful to one or more of these five elements. If the answer is yes beneficial then we should continue the practice. If the answer is no we should abandon all pursuit.
Then based on tis simple analysis we need to inventory all existing systems and rid ourselves of those that are unsustainable or harmful to life

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 Posted by Discovery Fuel on May 4, 2009 at 8:01pm

She symbolizes our own Spirit,

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

Intro Section I
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?

Web Technology as Sacred

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

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.
