PERESTROIKA AND GLASNOST

PERESTROIKA AND GLASNOSTIt always takes courage to take up the subject of restructuring—whether it involves just the personal life, or our very society.

'SIMPLY GENIUS' AS CODE WORDS ASKING FOR GUIDANCE FROM THAT REALM

  "SIMPLY GENIUS' AS CODE WORDS ASKING FOR GUIDANCE FROM THAT REALMA review of Ervin Laszlo's Simply Genius! And Other Tales from My LifeEarly on the expression "simply genius" had become his password into the genius beyond. This password came to him through music. His mother, who first taught him to play the piano, told him when he was yet a small child, "Just live yourself into the music." Out of this experience came his personal code and talisman to overcome the onset of fear and find the…See More

Profile Information

Do you believe we're now in a global emergency?
Yes...or perhaps a "Spiritual Emergence"...
What does climate change mean to you?
I don't know very much about long cycles, but I think we need to pay attention to the current health of Gaia. We need to pay close attention to the concept of "organism" and how we are that here with Earth.
What does peace mean to you?
Freedom to evolve from within.
What does community mean to you?
Communicating...sharing...with respect...the "I-Thou" dynamic.
What does politics mean to you?
Politics is a way to actualize conceptualized thinking...the political process now seems mired in corruption and turmoil. It is to be hoped that these current upheavals will produce that "birth"--emergence into a more evolved and integrated awareness.
What does money mean to you?
Money is energy at the "ground level"...How it affects our planet depends upon what we do with it.
What makes you truly happy?
Loving...appreciating.

THOUGHT MEME - UNICORN RISING

UNICORN RISING

grazing on green violets in spring

we hear with gentle hearts

the soft sounds

of new music

from green gold reeds

as the sun warms a new Dayrose

on slender vines

strong enough to weave new clothes

for the Emperor

born from the breath of the Unicorn
