Information IS the LIGHT ...

Posted on May 21st, 2007 by Michael : catalyst-producer Michael

of KNOWLEDGE ...

KNOWLEDGE is the source of IDEAS ...

IDEAS can lead to the sharing of a wealth of understanding which provides the potentiality ...
of the qualitative enhancement & advancement of the EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS.

Digital Tipping Point 4 min proof of concept
The future of that process, however, since the outset of HOMO SAPIENS, has been in the "hands" and MINDs of OUR species. 

A species which is driven
by the dual concepts of ,,,

benefit for the individual


and

benefit for the collective.

Concepts which can so easily be diverted to the use of  the power of knowledge ...

for GOOD or EVIL


The SOURCE of the LIGHT our SUN is ALWAYS there but the daily cycle of our existence
only serves to interfere with our understanding that IT IS SO - because of our reluctance to disconnect the mechanism of interpretation.

The SOURCE of the LIGHT IS  WITHIN


When ONE considers that ...

"Wikipedia's sucess is a product of the way it taps into people's interests and the human desire to share information - and that when it comes to WEB 2.0, IT IS vital to create content which people care enough about to interact with "  ...
 

against a background of  The Other Information Revolution  ...

THE beginning of the end of the BEGINNING must start with knowledge itself
then the individual referencing of same,  then the collective referencing of same
and finally an understanding - which mirrors Jimmy Wales belief -  that  ...

KNOWLEDGE
should be free ! ...

such that  GlobalCollectiveAssociative,  KNOWLEDGE becomes ...
THE  SOURCE of the WISDOM of  KNOWLEDGE ...

& as Ian Gardner has so succinctly proposed in THE MILK IS WHITE - WISDOM is like an ocean. The ocean is fed by streams and rivers from the land, by springs from beneath and by rain from above .... and IT IS the powerhouse of the EARTH.

Sorry Sir Bill but natural hierarchies operate of their own accord and they don't tell you they are superior - it's self evident (from all quadrants).  If a better idea shows up better go with it - EVOLVE - as it's only a matter of time before it takes over because it's better.  If you squelch it, it later arises again in another form - that's Natural Law.

BTW Second Tier doesn't go around telling First Tier it's Second Tier.  It's simply is and acts accordingly - that's a natural hierarchy and it's the difference between practice and theory.  There's a lot of spouting theory verses real practice.  (oops, a bit of a judgmental tangent there…)  Back to point…

KNOWLEDGE IS FREE whether we recognize it or not.  A little civil disobedience does a lot of good for humanity.  The Elite have always been nervous of being trampled by the bewildered herd and, perhaps, in the past rightfully so - perhaps.  However, the herd is developing and evolving now at greater speeds and comprehension that Plato and Lippmann probably never envisioned but Pierre de Chardin had more than an inkling of it.

Let's hope through the herd's (our) development that it (we) recognizes the natural hierarchy to guide it (us).  It's the recognition of a better idea regardless of the resistance to it.   The Revolution will not be televised but it's being Digitized.

WOW.  I had to much coffee this morning…  Am I making sense?  Better go breathe.

Great post Michael.

Making total sense - particularly when one considers the parallels between Sri Aurobindo & Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - and the need to consider the issue of an appropriate transcend & include vehicle for continuing the journey.

Two questions-

Information is indeed Light if it is reSourced of TRUTH of ISness.  If it is resourced from the essential lie of separation, then such informing would be 'not of Light'?

Also,
         “WISDOM is like an ocean. The ocean is fed by streams and rivers from the land…”

Yes, WISDOM is like an ocean, but is not the ocean the source feeding the streams and rivers to the land, etc. ?

All to Love, Sharon

KNOWING ignorance is strength.
Ignoring KNOWLEDGE is sickness.

If one is sick of sickness, then one is not sick.
The sage is not sick because he is sick of sickness.
Therefore he is not sick.

And the wisdom lies within the darkness of the conduit of knowledge. For the darkness is in fact only an illusion from the light. Love is the power that that drives the machines of the universe.

If a better idea shows up better go with it - EVOLVE - as it's only a matter of time before it takes over because it's better.  If you squelch it, it later arises again in another form - that's Natural Law.
