The Platform Of Invention

A point of light never ceases, never looses it’s way

It draws nearer whilst moving away from the next point

Eternally moving towards the void from whence it came

Piling up impulse with creative intention

Finding its source

Gathering other points on its path

Dancing as it were upon the Platform Of Invention.

The Culture Cycle Meme

We are part of a quantum field, the expression of life, which has a super objective. Evolution. This is the notion we have. This not only makes it clear, but presents us with choice knowing this. It is the condition of awareness that we know as being human. The real struggle is not that of our humanness, but rather our acceptance of personal power. It is a battle of the natural self and the ego – That is the cycle! Culture then, is nothing more than a program. It is not principle, it is a description of the idea of itself!

The Leaf’s Shadow

The Nightmare is over

As my gifted life propels me along the dream

Be I neither proud or shy, but my purpose

Living…

A bursting life, audacious in it’s beauty and magnificence

But this life…

This life, is as tenuous as a raindrop perched upon a leaf in a storm.

There Is Much More To Life [Part One]

There Is Much More To Life Than Regret: Part One

The glow that is somewhere between the questions, between the doubts and sincerity. Between the heart that knows itself, the heart that is honest and pure. The Faithful heart, the unbound heart filled with kindness and strength. The Courageous Heart, who’s only desire is the experience of the natural self, that needs no explanation other than the simple joy of completed determination. The Free Heart, who’s nature is to explore, to play and share. It is hopeful as it is filled with charity. It is The Mindful and Forgiving Heart that contains no regrets – it releases others from them.

Culture Is Your Operating System : Terence McKenna

Culture Is Your Operating System : Terence McKenna

Terence McKenna and his idea of extropy is explained through the window of opportunity we can call novelty.

YouTube Preview Image

One of Terence McKenna’s most widely promulgated ideas is known as Novelty theory. It predicts the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time. McKenna developed the theory in the mid 1970s after his experiences in the Amazon at La Chorrera led him to closely study the King Wen sequence of the I-Ching. Novelty theory involves ontology, extropy, and eschatology.

The theory proposes that the universe is an engine designed for the production and conservation of novelty. Novelty, in this context, can be thought of as newness, or extropy (a term coined by Max More meaning the opposite of entropy). According to McKenna, when novelty is graphed over time, a fractal waveform known as “timewave zero” or simply the “timewave” results. The graph shows at what time periods, but never at what locations, novelty increases or decreases.

Considered by some to represent a model of history’s most important events, the universal algorithm has also been extrapolated to be a model for future events. McKenna admitted to the expectation of a “singularity of novelty”, and that he and his colleagues projected many hundreds of years into the future to find when this singularity (runaway “newness” or extropy) could occur. The graph of extropy had many enormous fluctuations over the last 25,000 years, but amazingly, it hit an asymptote at exactly December 22, 2012. In other words, entropy (or habituation) no longer exists after that date. It is impossible to define that state. The technological singularity concept parallels this, only at a date roughly three decades later. According to leading expert Ray Kurzweil), another concept called cultural singularity (essentially cultural dissolution, or language dissolution), parallels this as well. Terence claimed to have no knowledge of the Mayan calendar, which ends one day before the Timewave graph does: December 21, 2012, this is likely to be true as Mckennas timewave theory, also known as “Time Wave Zero”, was published in The Invisible Landscape 12 years before the book which brought the Mayan calendar into public consciousness; José Argüelles’s The Mayan Factor.

This Is Not What You Think…

Not What You Think…

Death the personal release
The equal break
The song between the pause and the quick note
Smashing colliding dreams that glue wishes that come when our eyes are closed

Or when it is dark

Our hands rise
Shining with the promise of a new gift
A dawn comes to mind

The Sun rises…
So they tell us
But we know full well that it is us that do the oscillating

Beating upon a locked door with the fists of jealousy
To Quick…
To Slow…
Too Late…

Bang Bang
I Think I Love You

Banging…
Banging…
Banging…

The jealousy almost gets me
I can hear your breathing through the door
Orthodox and returning
Wafting the compression with your barbaric perfume

The possibility of loneliness begins to set in as I linger
But I want to know

I want to find out what happens to your mind when you look into the mirror
What questions do you ask yourself when you brush your teeth
Are you connected by the friction of memory?

Do you sense the distance of the moment we met?

Lingering…
Hovering between the scribbled outlines of a world that defines us
That shallow grave
Deader than naught
In spite of our addition

No…
…this is not what you think.

Along A Linear Plain Of Time

The life of modern humans is filled with choice. We live along a linear plain of time (so we are led to believe) that is imbued with the memory of previous actions performed by ourselves and our ancestors, at least this is the logical assumption. The reality of this assumption is responsible for the splintering of the human psyche, causing stress amongst us. As far as singularities are concerned we will all eventually come to this simple conclusion, that science, philosophy, religion and art are all designed to inform.

LifeStraw World Outreach Appeal

LifeStraw Appeal – World Outreach.

World Outreach, sharing a passion to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of ‘reducing by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water’ by the year 2015, we recognize the immense sense of urgency. This is possible with the aid of the LifeStraw®.

Mobilising LifeStraw® offers relief from waterborne diseases of major public concern such as typhoid, cholera, dysentery and diarrhoea. As a personal and mobile water purification tool, LifeStraw® is designed to turn most of the surface water into drinking water, thus providing access to safe water wherever you are.

The Water Crisis

YouTube Preview Image
At any given moment, about half of the world’s poor are suffering from water-related diseases, of which over 6,000 – mainly children – die each day by consuming unsafe drinking water.

Today, 1.1 billion people are without access to safe drinking water, robbing hundreds of women and girls of dignity, energy and time.

Safe water interventions, therefore, have vast potential to transform the lives of millions, especially in crucial areas such as poverty eradication, environmental upgradation, quality of life, child development and gender equality.

The Growing Earth

Well I never. When I began to absorb this video’s information it floored me. It unnerved me. It made me question my belief system and it makes me want to know more. The Growing Earth Theory is an alternative to the Theory of Continental Drift. The Theory’s central proposition is that the Earth’s landmass was once joined and that the Earth was substantially smaller than it’s current size – In other words it is “Growing!” Which is in complete contrast to the Theory of Continental Drift, which states that the Earth’s land mass slides about on what is commonly known as “tectonic plates” and it is the movement of these plates that are the main cause of earthquakes and related phenomena. That the Earth since forming, has kept that form. If the information presented in this video by Neal Adams proves to be true and correct we have a lot of re-writing to do. This video’s proposition is quite simply – Mind Blowing. It challenges the fundamental principles of modern Geology and it’s implications are therefore astounding. It will challenge your understanding of Physics, Geology, Darwinism, Evolution, Continental Drift and much more. Be ready to be stunned. This is a jaw dropper!

What The Bleep We Should Know

What The Bleep We Should Know : The Most Important Video You’ll Ever See…

…and probably the most boring. But then again if you follow along with what the presenter, Albert Bartlett a Professor Emeritus of Physics at University of Colorado-Boulder, is saying, it’s quite easy to pay attention, because it is so compelling. A Mathematics Lecture that dispels any myths out there about “Peak Oil” and Resource Management. The dangers of a “growth” fanatical system, the effects of over zealous consumerism and how to change our perceptions about these and what we can do about conserving what we have for future generations. I will add that it is 60 minutes in length in total, as the lecture is broken up into parts because of YouTube limitations, but it is a broken hour out of your life that will change the way you look at the western world and consumerism. BE WARNED, THIS WILL STARTLE YOU!! http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=D858B6212ECE39F2
