‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic’ Arthur C. Clarke ‘What the universe becomes depends on you’ Henryk Skolimowski Magic may not be what we think it is. In fact, it may be very much more. It may in fact be everything, and everything that is not magic simply is not. In other [...]
CONSCIOUSNESS, COSMOS & PURPOSE PART III – Emerging Planetary Consciousness & What it Means for Us Emerging Planetary Consciousness The philosopher Karl Jaspers referred to the period from 800-200 BC as the Axial Age. It was a time that, according to Jaspers, new yet similar ways of thinking appeared in Persia, India, China and the Western world. He [...]
CONSCIOUSNESS, COSMOS & PURPOSE PART II – Living in a Coherent Cosmos If our observed universe is indeed a projection – of ‘in-formed’ – from an underlying conscious matrix (as suggested by the hologram theory), then we would expect the universe to manifest a marked degree of order. That is, there would be evidence [...]
CONSCIOUSNESS, COSMOS & PURPOSE PART I – Implications of a non-local view of human consciousness Philosophers, artists, and scientists have been debating for centuries the questions concerning human consciousness: what it is and how it emerges. The question of human consciousness has also been at the heart of many mystical teachings, although these have [...]
ACCESSING THE LIVING INTELLIGENCE: Part III – Normalizing the Multi-Verse Human awareness is the real game changer. Human awareness not only alters our perceptions of our self but also transforms how we understand the world. The awareness we have about our place in the world and our part in the ‘bigger picture’ is ultimately a [...]
Part II – Life in Valis VALIS is a 1981 science fiction novel by Philip K. Dick and stands for Vast Active Living Intelligence System, which in some respects is very close to the living intelligence I discuss in this series of essays.[i] A living intelligence also suggests a non-local field view of reality. [...]
Part I - The Rise of an Intuitive Humanity Social and cultural change is occurring fast right now across this planet and it looks as if it will accelerate further. Many people are experiencing a wide range of personal impacts, disruptions, and rearrangements in their lives. At the same time we are also seeing how [...]
What does it mean to say that we are ‘plugged-in’ to a source of creative streaming? And why is it that this phrase does not seem odd or out of place? Is it because modern lives, with its analogies of electrical ‘plugging-in’ and digital ‘streaming,’ have become the new vocabulary to understand our internal processes? [...]
We have entered a time which I refer to as the New Normal, and we need to understand that things are never going to be the same again. We have to get used to doing things differently – for these ‘different things’ will become our normal ways soon enough. This shift from older patterns and [...]
Innovative change will emerge and provide creative solutions to current economic and political systems in the years, and decades, ahead. Such solutions are likely to emerge from the periphery; from what are known as ‘disruptive technologies.’ That is, creative alternatives are likely to appear as anomalies yet gradually develop to become serious new models. Such [...]
Those whom I refer to as the Phoenix Generation, coming of age over the next couple of decades, will show a marked difference in their consumption – and production – of media. They will be active prosumers of media content, not only consumers. They will actively engage with information, and seek to produce content if [...]
A generation of young people is arriving into a world that is more technologically assisted than in our entire history as a species. And they will be arriving with minds that see things differently than we currently do. That is, their thinking patterns will not automatically accept many of our beliefs, ideologies, or our socio-cultural [...]
