On which side of your umbrella did you leave your shoes?
Do the small things of life with a relaxed awareness. When you are eating, eat totally–chew totally, taste totally, smell totally. Touch your bread, feel the texture. Smell the bread, smell the flavor. Chew it, let it dissolve into your being, and remain conscious–and you are meditating. And then meditation is not separate from life. (more…)
Erik is also mentioning Ander’s comments about “powering down” his network to focus within the rule of 150 active network members….
This whole concept is a little funny for me personally because i didn’t don’t won’t study business. Networking is a new concept for me - the universe has been showing me what networking is by throwing important people at me… constantly…
I think there is a certain beauty and a certain danger with networking. I don’t like the way it feels to think of people as assets. I don’t like the way it feels to think about owning names or ideas. I do like the idea of cherishing each and every spark of life… connecting with every sliver of intelligence that we can manage to percieve…
So many decisions made on the brink of a blink… so much etheric intelligence surrounding our seemingly discrete psyches… are we ever not relying on the greater mindNet to guide us.?. are we ever free from the ideas that have been ingrained into us by our teachers and parents and experiences.?.
I think technology can help us to make a smooth transition to trusting telepathy… to grasp synchronicity and play with it and cherish it without thinking its weird and or scary nor taking it for granted or expecting it… how many times have you felt a friends pressence only to recieve an sms moments later or to find an email waiting when none was expected?
we are all right here, right now… and realizing it more and more with every moment…

Wow, I am reading this gem of a book once again, and well yeah… wow.
The simple precision of the language and the elegance of the characitures amazes me. I wholehearedly recommend this book. a quote for you: “you know how to speak cleverly, my friend. Be on your guard against too much cleverness.” Here is the german (presumably the original): “Klug weißt du zu reden, mein Freund. Hüte dich vor allzu großer wondering what some native german speakers may say to the translation of “Klug”?? |
Once again i’d like to mention this book: The Cosmic Serpent
a facinating account of an antropologists journeys into the world of indiginous knowlege and utter amazement at the depth of knowlege that these “uneducated” shamans have regarding DNA (which they call “language twisting twisting”) and mitosis and medicinal properties of plants. Also includes a very interesting set of statistics (see an old post for my redigestion and investigation of these statistics) about the likelihood that the complexity of life that we observe as the result of evolution, could have actually emerged by pure chance…
Which raises a few questions i have for you:
Do you believe in evolution as a process of diversication of life via genetic mutations?
If so, do you believe that the primary driving force of these advantageous genetic mutations is random chance?
Do you believe that DNA is a language?
Do you believe that the use of language is a sign of intelligence?
