The Gift: Remembering Our Humanity in the Making of Something New

Have you ever noticed how video ratings get very close but rarely hit “5” as an average? Well, these 3 videos hit that big ‘5’ rating, with the first two presently around a million views, and the third ‘hugs’ video having over 57 million. Why do these videos have such huge ratings and viewings? I propose an answer:



In these views videos, our humanity is spoken… Continue

The Awakening (Author unknown)

A time comes in your life when you finally get…when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out…ENOUGH1 Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on. Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.



This is your… Continue

Rhythm and Doing what comes naturally

As regular readers will know, I’ve been taking some time out over the last few weeks doing a few pet projects and just shifting my focus, pace and rhythm. The summer is often a quiet time in my line of work (and thought that hasn’t really been the case this year) I usually use this time for planning, writing, networking etc.



Yesterday was my first full day ‘back to work’ and so obviously today was meant to be day two. I had an early morning breakfast meeting today and was… Continue

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 between inspirational and inventive realms.…

The Emergence of a New Global Mythology (What is a 'Myth'?)

Defining the Nature of Myth



What is myth? How does it play a role in our evolution? And why does myth so often stay unspoken or be the victim of mis-spoken understanding?

First Steps Into The Changing Normal Portal

Equations don't get pregnant... so science overlooks that part of life

As we reconnect with nature we will wonder and be shocked by how the most intelligent species has been using a way of explaining the world that is so detached from reality. It's somewhat of an "expert error", you could say, that the equations people plan the future with work just as well forward or backward, and don't have the "messy business" of being driven by eruptions of new realities and needing to change in response to them along the way. The way people explain the relation of past and… Continue

Going Beyond: We live within the Great Soup of the Universe

I added a new potent domain 22. Categorized as a 'non-triad domain, it moves us beyond awareness here to awareness out there. This is so critical if we are to move beyond survival and into thrival.











Limited by our own perspectives. Isolated by an atmosphere that veils our presence within an existence of extended realities. We live within the Great Soup of the… Continue

Transforming Our World Through Myth: The Sacred Dance of Masculine and Femine Energies

One thing I ask as you read this brief article: How does myth (and related archetypes) help us to create new forms of culture?



In my below introductory article, I will use Yung’s model of [ King (Queen), Warrior, Magician, Lover ] to address the changing of our world's mythological paradigm. I find this model effective for describing a fuller, more… Continue

Changing Normal REQUIRES Experimentation and Failure

ChangingNormal-ists,



Yesterday I sent out a couple things that went awry. First, I sent 're-invites' to what I thought would go to those who were invited but had not responded. Instead the ning system sent out old invitations to events that are past, and it sent them only to those of you who are already members! Ning has some hoaky things; that it does. Also, I… 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.
