WHAT'S AN INFINITY TO DO?

WHAT'S AN INFINITY TO DO? The Nature of the Human Stock Exchange (continuation of last Blog... "What's Real and How Would you Know?) So, what's an Infinity to do? Where is it going to spill if it wants to diversify, if it is already filling up everything…always? Why, the finite, of course. "What's that?" asks infinity of itself. "Well…that's what would happens if I separate the In from the Finite"… There you have it. Could that be what happened 13.4 billions years ago? The "In"…separated from the "Finite" knowing full well that that was impossible…hence the illusion, but hey...an illusion might be a really fun thing…like putting an amazing puzzle back together…with the addition of something the Infinite could only dream about…Novelty…and indeed the infinite does probably and literally dream novelty it up…and that's where you come in. Everything grows out of the nature and the quality of The Exchange . E...

THE LAUGHING HEART, EVOLUTION & SPIRAL DYNAMICS

How The Laughing Heart Provides the Tools, Methods and Context for Advancing the Six Memes in the First Tier toward the Second Integral Tier. Using Humor with Families (q.v. "Spiral Dynamics" p://www.spiraldynamics.com/book/SDreview_Dinan.htm ) It seems that to consciously and actively participate in the evolutionary spiral, we'd want to advance each meme to its highest development and to assist it in transitioning to the next meme. (Meme = cultural matrix that has distinctive values, belief systems, ways of behaving that have evolved out of each other in an attempt to solve evolutionary problems. Each meme partially solves problems from the previous meme while generating new and different problems that in turn give birth to the next cultural matrix--meme). While we need to honor and work with the evolutionary cycle/spiral, it is equally important to realize that we can interface with all memes in any given instant through accessing the still point that ...

RELAXING THE WANT/SHOULD SPASM, Part 2

LEARNING TO TRUST! In order to relax, you have to believe that the ground that supports you will continue to support you…no matter how creative a step you may take. And why would you trust that? Well, you trust it all the time. Every time you take a step, you're actually falling and meeting the ground which predictably and even comfortably breaks your fall and gives you the impulse to take the next step. And you know how you discovered that incredible level of trust…well, here we have to take you back to when you were a little younger…when you were just learning to walk. Remember that? ("Expletive of your own choosing"), it was probably one of, if not, the most important things that you will ever consciously learn, and you don't even remember learning it? What's with that! Think about what you must have done to learn that "trust." After all, you didn't just learn how to walk, you learned how to trust. My dance teacher in college, Harriett Ann G...

"YEAH...BUT..."

Once you start off on a spiritual journey, you will be assigned several companions. One of them is "Yeah, but..." Every time you attempt to step more fully into self-realization and spiritual intent, especially in the early stages, you can pretty well count on "Yeah, but..." to show up at your door. As expected, "Yeah, but…" came by to see me today. I was attempting to hang out with another companion, "Why Worry? God's got you covered." Now "Yeah, but..." always brings an entourage. You've heard of "Yes men." Well, "Yeah, but..." brings along a lot of " "Yeah, but... men" --Lobbyists, witnesses and experts to prove its case and justify its position. ("You won't have enough money." "Nobody cares for you." "People are undependable. "Get what you can while you can." "You can't trust men... or women." "Life on this planet is doomed u...
