Tian Xia Xi Ji Zhi ...

can be roughly translated into high English as -

“The lessons of silence are peerless and are unmatched by anything else under Heaven”

This English translation and in turn, the Chinese interpretation of the symbolic characters
which are there for ALL to read, if they traverse the 6293 granite steps leading to the
summit of the, sacred to the Chinese, mountain of Taishan in Shandong province, are
words of wisdom indeed.

… IT IS for ALL members of our species, as individuals, to truly understand the underlying
purpose of why those Chinese symbolic characters were carved into the stone in the first
instance, before the goal of the wisdom of knowledge of understanding can be attained.

Only when the global collective, of those who have achieved this goal, represent the
majority of our species, will REAL CHANGE in the world BE ESTABLISHED.

Lao Tzu is reputed to have said ... A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
and Chairman Mao ... EVERY journey begins with a single step.

On this opening day of the Beijing Olympic games ...
LET US ALL hope and pray that this particular single step ...
will mark the beginning of OUR GLOBAL REAL CHANGE JOURNEY

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION ...

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 06:53:46 -0000

was NOT a social but a political one ...

said John Brewer in his introduction to the chapter entitled "Ideas of Revolution" in the book which accompanied the "1776" exhibition at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London, during 1976.

The raison d'etre of the exhibition was to tell - The British Story of the American Revolution.

John Brewer went on to say ...

" IT WAS NOT intended to bring a new class to power, and many of its leading ideals were neither novel nor socially subversive. Its chief concern was with individuals' rights and the political, not social, mechanisms designed to preserve them. But what was distinctive and revolutionary was the way in which familiar ideas were transformed from pious ideals into political action and European theories adapted to special, American conditions.
The Declaration of Independence began the process which only ended with the American constitution of 1787. It was a watershed in the conflict between the British Government and the American colonies. On the one hand the bulk of its text looks back, surveying and recapitulating American grievances against George III and his ministers; on the other, it looks forward, laying down in the bold clear prose of Thomas Jefferson's opening paragraphs, the principles on which any future American government would be based: the equality of men and the existence of 'unalienable Rights'. "

AS a NEW DAWN approaches for American politics, IT WOULD INDEED BE APPROPRIATE that the principle of unalienable rights be extended by the USA, as leader of the NOW GLOBAL COMMUNITY, to OUR SPECIES as a WHOLE.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to one & ALL.

THE DYNAMISM of CHAOS ...

Mon, 26 May 2008 09:05:16 -0000

within the SERENITY of ORDER

"There can be little doubt that order has become a more important element in the
competitive mix than it used to be. The frontier spirit of Britain's industrial revolution or of
US twentieth-century capitalism, with ALL its vigour, can make great ships and create giant oil companies, but IT DOES NOT foster the meticulous attention to detail and marketing that has enabled Japan to flood the world with video-recorders. The TOP-DOWN CONTROL by the bosses of Britain and America in the past has not proved as effective as the BOTTOM-UP SENSE of RESPONSIBILITY generated by the highly-educated workforce of Japan today. But if the added value in societies comes increasingly from services - for example, the programmes which are shown on the video recorders as opposed to the manufacture of the VCRs themselves - then societies must foster CREATIVITY alongside ORDER. At one extreme there is a society where people sit in rows and do what they are told. At the other there is one where everybody does their own thing.

The key to economic success in the future will be to find a way of balancing the two ...
GROUP RESPONSIBILITY and INDIVIDUAL CREATIVITY."

Hamish McRae

ALL great art, explores the tension between order and chaos, between growth and stasis,
particularly exemplified by the way Katsushika Hokusai beautifully captured all aspects of the fractal world in his creation of "The Great Wave".

The scientists of change have learned in recent years that the evolution of complex systems can't be followed in the context of detailed cause & effect, because such systems are holistic, in that EVERYTHING affects EVERYTHING else. An understanding of these complex systems can only be established through a process of SEEING INTO their complexity and fractal geometry abundantly provides the mechanism by which this vision might be achieved.

In confronting the orders of chaos, of growth and stability, it would appear that we are now coming face to face with something which is buried in the very foundations of HOMO SAPIENS' existence, which would lead one to believe that learning to handle complexity means learning to live more intuitively, because intuition is the key to making significant changes in complex systems, helping them evolve and evolving with them.

The FUTURE can only be told in the ... MOMENT by MOMENT unravelling of the present

WITHIN YOU, AS the LEADER that ...

YOU YOURSELF have to BECOME

Make GOD's KINGDOM & GOD's RIGHTEOUSNESS your first priority in life, then ALL of tomorrow's needs will fall naturally into a place of balance & harmony in all things, for the galactic exploration of consciousness supreme, through the mind.

James Atwell's, 2007 Eucharist Sermon, delivered in Winchester Cathedral in the U.K.
concluded that ...

" THE BIBLE has particular and specific vocabulary which captures the connectedness of things, and describes a world where our priorities are right, equilibrium is safe, and things are working harmoniously.

One is a word we translate as righteousness, but in the Old Testament it really means ‘right order’. It is the opposite of disorder and sickness. There is right order when the appropriate connections are being made and things are properly related. When Psalm 96, for instance, says of God ‘He will judge the world with righteousness’, it means that he will sort it out and put it into right order. It will not be topsy turvy anymore. He will rescue the poor. He will vindicate the truth. Then the standing crops in the field will laugh and sing as the gentle wind blows down the valley.

The complementary word to right order is the little word ‘peace’ or ‘shalom’.

It means universal global peace in the sense of harmony, right relationship, wholeness.

When things are rightly ordered they are integrated, healthy and wholesome. They work together. That IS peace.

‘The lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and the little child shall lead them.’

That is why we share the peace at the Eucharist:
we seek to be a community that models not tranquillity, but rather right relationships.

The world was created by God in relationship and actions for good or for evil in one sphere might have quite unexpected and unintended results in another. It is an insight which was lost and has been recovered in our contemporary environmental awareness.

When the world is properly a wholesome environment, then in the words of Psalm 85 ‘righteousness and peace will kiss each other’ (Psalm 85 v10).

That is right order and harmony reign across a complex and unified world.

But there is one more biblical word to add to this collection to make a trio, it is one final ingredient if the world is to have a sound ecology. Beside right order and harmony one must place justice.

It is used globally in the Old Testament. Such is the moral nature of the Creator, that the world’s ecology is not safe unless justice rules. The ideal king, reflecting the rule of God himself governs ‘with righteousness and justice’ (Psalm 72:1, Isaiah 9:7). Without justice our environment is damaged. There can be no healthy ecology at the expense of the weak and vulnerable. Human moral actions affect the integrity of creation.

The great words of the prophet Amos are universal in scope and a prayer for the integrity of our environment:    ‘ Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness (‘right order’) as an everlasting stream.’ "

In other words, DECENCY, MORALITY & LAW must BE acknowledged as integral components of the BIG PICTURE GLOBAL SOLUTION UNDERSTANDING that ...

SAVE the world we go

In his book - The Idea Of Nature In Disney Animation - David Whitley has very succinctly established a child-like perspective of the fact that Disney's films have helped generations of children to develop "a critical awareness of contested environmental issues" since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released in 1937.

David Whitley goes on to say of ...

Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs (1937)

"The forest gives young viewers a sense of the integrity and separateness of nature from the world of humans, which is shown as oppressively unbalanced. Snow White enlists the help of a small army of creatures, evincing our interdependent relationship with the natural world and showcasing, with comic brio, the variety and vitality of animal life."

Bambi (1942)

"The idyllic realm of nature rendered vulnerable by human incursions. Disarmingly cute animals and a sense that we are receiving a 'privileged' view of nature at work build empathy between the viewer and the archetypal image of nature. We come away feeling we owe the natural world some sort of allegiance."

Cinderella (1950)

"Cinderella's relationship with an extensive subculture of friendly animals demonstrates that she is wholesome and good. The animals help to subvert the authority of a repressive, self-regarding human culture cut off from nature and represented by the ugly sisters. Cinderella is a 'lovelorn shepherdess', managing and protecting the animals."

The Jungle Book (1967)

"Mowgli demonstrates not just a desire to protect the animal kingdom, but to become part of it."

Finding Nemo (2003)

"The theme of letting go of one's protective anxieties accepts the dangerous aspect of nature, but we are encouraged to tolerate freedom with all the precariousness that entails. The film does not attempt to unite the human and natural environments, but conveys a natural state of interaction which has both positive and negative results, rendering it a fable for our time."

... which ALL adds grist to the mill to Walt Disney BEING an eco-warrior & integral artist
as exemplified by the KOSMIC DANCE of HIS MIND, in support of the children's own perspective of the concept that YOUR PLANET NEEDS YOU.

MIND-SET SWITCH

A VISION for CHANGE must focus initially on the motivation to rendezvous with destiny.

The REALITY IS that DESTINY IS that which one discovers ... IF every opportunity, with which you are faced, is responsibly acted upon in all humility. FATE IS what you are faced with if you don't.

THE ultimate motivation of our species MUST BE peace on earth. But peace on earth can only be attained if we can sit down with our adversaries and formulate sustainable solutions together, to address the issues that divide us.

THE penultimate motivation of our species MUST then BE to establish a global infrastructure which will allow this to happen.

THE MOTHER that bore ...

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:04:21 -0000

my one spirit into this world will be 88 years old on the 21st April 2008.

She was the one, along with her father, who nurtured and encouraged my ‘dyslexic mind’, to come to terms with the “virtual world” of our planet, ably supported by her own soul-mate whose task it was, along with his father, to show me the way of pragmatic & practical survival and how to DO IT, in terms of the qualitative enhancement of life on earth, as a result of the experience of responsible and selfless action.

When the child is born, he is a pagan. Each child is a born pagan, he is happy the way he is. He has no idea what is right and what is wrong; he has no ideals. He has no criteria, he has no judgment. Hungry, he asks for food. Sleepy, he falls asleep. That's what Zen masters say is the utmost in religiousness - when hungry eat, when feeling sleepy go to sleep. Let life flow; don't interfere.

Each child is born as a pagan, but sooner or later he will lose that simplicity. That is part of life; it has to happen. It is a part of our growth, maturity, destiny. The child has to lose it and find it again. When the child loses it he becomes ordinary, worldly. when he regains it he becomes religious.

The innocence of childhood is cheap; it is a gift from existence. We have not earned it and we will have to lose it. Only by losing it will we become aware of what we have lost. Then we will start searching for it. And only when we search for it and earn it, achieve it, become it - then we will know the tremendous preciousness of it.

"The Book of Understanding" by OSHO.

My mother is now almost totally blind to the input of her moment by moment environmental cocoon and often talks of sitting in her virtual world, deciding what has to be done, and then, going with the flow, as she says, and Doing NO THING. If she had been ”physically blind” from birth or had become blind during those magic several months, which a child just out of the womb enjoys in total innocence, she would have had no experiences of being part of her virtual world, to store away in the memory banks of her cerebral cortex, and it would therefore have never existed, regardless of her being a living member of the species of homo sapiens for nigh on 88 years since.

She was of course born to a rich family, who nevertheless experienced the demise of such status during the depression of the 1930s, travelled from ”GOD’s Country”, as they say in Yorkshire, to London where her father worked as a "durex” salesman with the London Rubber Company to allow them to live a meagre but sufficient life in rented accommodation at the top of Miranda Road in the Archway, North London. I shall always remember the house, as a child, because it had a monkey puzzle tree out front and a huge walled garden with an apple tree, which bore fruit, whose delicious flavour I can still taste today. My mother’s only memory of that house now is of my dad coming home from the war, walking up the hill towards the house. The very hill in fact where I have childhood memories of pedalling down the hill at full speed on my tricycle, hitting a wall and somersaulting over the handlebars.

LET US suffer the children of innocence, within ALL of us, to realise that we have been granted the priviledge, to experience as embodied spirit, in all humility, the actions of self-less caring and compassionate LOVE for ALL ... in this totally and absolutely interconnected virtual world collective which we have chosen to be born to.

LET US also rise to our duty of responsibilty to make our planet the better place it was designed TO BE and IF needs be create models of potential virtual worlds, on the basis of what could be to the mutual benefit of ALL 6.7 billion presently ALIVE on earth today.

THE KOSMIC DANCE of the MIND ...

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 08:09:34 -0000

as opposed to THE COSMIC DANCE ...

which Fritjof Capra described as ... the exploration of the subatomic world in the twentieth century which ... has revealed the intrinsically dynamic nature of matter ... and has shown that the constituents of atoms, the subatomic particles, are dynamic patterns which do not exist as isolated entities, but as integral parts of an inseperable network of interactions ...

which involve a ceaseless flow of energy manifesting itself as the exchange of particles; a dynamic interplay in which particles are created and destroyed without end in a continual variation of energy patterns ...

particle interactions which give rise to stable structures which build up the material world, which again do not remain static, but oscillate in rythmic movements ... indicating that THE WHOLE UNIVERSE is thus engaged in endless motion and activity; in a continual COSMIC DANCE of ENERGY ...

will no doubt come to fuition when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is switched on this summer at CERN in Switzerland ... and Fritjof Capra's question as to whether QUARK SYMMETRIES could become A NEW KOAN ... will BE answered.

William Leith's "Journey to the centre of the earth article" prepares US ALL for an experiment that could unlock the secrets of the universe ... and in so doing ...
ABSOLUTELY CONFIRM ... as a result of the rational & logical thinking of applied scientific experiment ... Fritjof Capra's statement of 1975 that ...

On this journey to the world of the infinitely small, the most important step, from a PHILOSOPHICAL point of view, was the first one: the step into the world of atoms. Probing inside the atom and investigating its structure, science transcended the limits of our sensory imagination. From this point on, it could no longer rely with absolute certainty on logic and common sense. Atomic physics provided the scientists with the first glimpses of the essential nature of things. Like the mystics, physicists were now dealing with a non-sensory experience of reality and, like the mystics, they had to face the paradoxical aspects of this experience. From then on therefore, the models and images of modern physics became akin to those of Eastern philosophy.

It is also likely, in the context of Alan's statement that ... "the SOUL, indeed, IS visible by science, if they knew how and where to look" ... that the deliberation of the results of this LHC scientific experiment, will confirm Alan's zBlog proposal that "the base of the material world is immaterial consciousness and that we are concentrations of the consciousness of the universe, and therefore concentrations of light, and concentrations of microwave energy."

What better way to establish the conclusion of this post, than to utilise William Leith's own conclusion to his Telegraph Magazine Article ...

We have a quick chat about Tim Berners-Lee. 'Thanks to him, you can look him up on the internet,' Grey grins.

Grey is poised to process the data from the pictures that Harnew and Collins and Barney and many others will take, once Lamont and his colleagues have flicked the switch. And it's important data. Physicists absolutely need to find it. This is because, to put it bluntly, they do not understand why things are things. It's absolutely infuriating. The truth is out there, if only they could locate it.

'It'll be a relief for them to find [the boson],' Peter Higgs said recently. 'If I'm wrong, I'll be rather sad.'

If he is wrong, the scientists at CERN are confident that they won't have spent $8 billion for nothing. 'The LHC is guaranteed a result,' James Gillies says. 'Either we find the Higgs boson, or we find something else that does the same job...

We know the Standard Model is not the whole story, but we also know it isn't wrong ...
IT works too well. IT IS simply incomplete.'

Fritjof Capra wrote in his 25th Anniversary Edition Epilogue ....
I believe that the world view implied by modern physics is inconsistent with our present society, which does NOT reflect the HARMONIOUS INTERRELATEDNESS we observe in nature. To achieve such a state of DYNAMIC BALANCE, a radically different SOCIAL and ECONOMIC STRUCTURE will be needed: a cultural revolution in the true sense of the word. The survival of our whole civilisation may depend on whether we can bring about such change. IT WILL DEPEND, ultimately, on our ability to adopt some of the YIN attitudes of EASTERN mysticism; to experience the wholeness of nature and the ART of LIVING with it in HARMONY.

and ONLY innovative path to political, religious,

& scientific tolerance, through ...

collaborative cooperation and coexistence.

USING historical analogies in order to predict the future of how to continue to combine
altruism with successful wealth management IS NOT working. On a planet which is experiencing an ever accelerating rate of "changing change", one must ask what
changes when change changes ?

THE ANSWER IS TO ESTABLISH a completely NEW MODEL for a CHARITY of CHARITIES and in so doing evolve the template solution to support the concept of GLOBAL SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

A revolutionary is part of the political world; his approach is through politics. His understanding is that changing the social structure is enough to change the human being.

A rebel, as I use the term, is a spiritual phenomenon. His approach is absolutely individual. His vision is that if we want to change the society, we have to change the individual. Society in itself does not exist; it is only a word, like "crowd" - if you go to find it, you will not find it anywhere. Wherever you encounter someone, you will encounter an individual. "Society" is only a collective name - just a name, not a reality - with no substance.

The individual has a soul, has a possibility of evolution, of change, of transformation. Hence, the difference is tremendous.

The rebel is the very essence of religion. He brings into the world a change of consciousness - and if the consciousness changes, then the structure of the society is bound to follow it. But vice versa is not the case, and it has been proved by all the revolutions because they have failed.

No revolution has yet succeeded in changing human beings; but it seems we are not aware of the fact. We still go on thinking in terms of revolution, of changing society, of changing the government, of changing the bureaucracy, of changing laws, political systems. Feudalism, capitalism, communism, socialism, fascism - they were all in their own way revolutionary. They all have failed, and failed utterly, because man has remained the same.

We have to be rebels, not revolutionaries. The revolutionary belongs to a very mundane sphere; the rebel and his rebelliousness are sacred. The revolutionary cannot stand alone; he needs a crowd, a political party, a government. He needs power - and power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Human consciousness has not grown for centuries. Only once in a while someone blossoms - but in millions of people, the blossoming of one person is not a rule, it is the exception. And because that person is alone, the crowd cannot tolerate him. His existence becomes a kind of humiliation; his very presence feels insulting because he opens your eyes, makes you aware of your potential and your future. And it hurts your ego that you have done nothing to grow, to be more conscious, to be more loving, more ecstatic, more creative, more silent - to create a beautiful world around you.

"The Book of Understanding" by OSHO

The global, whole system change, infrastructure, which will allow peace on earth to be established, as a result of assembling the CHANGEL Project "Lego™ building blocks", will never be attained unless the very first CHANGEL "Lego™ building block" IS SOUND. The minimum, equitable, equality of thinking environment can only be based on integralist and post integralist values, beliefs & behaviours, as opposed to postmodernist values, IF IT IS 2 BE ALL-inclusive and NON-exclusive of ALL the values of the evolutionary spiral.

In consideration of the above, let us contemplate & deliberate the need and, I would suggest, our responsibility, to replace our opinions, so often based on the intended misinformation perpetrated by religion, politics, science, business and the media, with the information which underlies the wisdom of understanding that emenates from the experience of practice, both individually and collectively, of the integrity of action of responsibly implementing the ideas which flow from THE process of knowledge being gained from information.

Let us therefore start that process in the knowledge that the door may still be opened, whose key has been lost and could be found again ... Cerca Trova

THE KEY, to ALL the problems, with which HOMO SAPIENS and the planet IS now faced, IS a sustainable solution which addresses the fact that ...

FOR those that understand no explanation is necessary
FOR those that don't understand no explanation will suffice.

IT IS only by LISTENING to the CHILDREN that this sustainable solution can be established such that we can indeed BE PART OF SOMETHING BETTER, and no better example of the wisdom of children has been exemplified, than by the Mughal emperor, Akbar the Great.

In order that the CHANGEL Project facilitates a better understanding between men and women, adults and children, rich and poor, west and east, Microsoft and Apple, no better example can be followed than that which has been provided by Bill Gates and his management policies for Microsoft ...

Eliminate politics, by giving everybody the same message.
Keep a flat organisation in which all issues are discussed openly.
Insist on clear and direct communications.
Prevent competing missions or objectives.
Eliminate rivalry between different parts of the organisation.
Empower TEAMs to do their own thing.

Bill Gates has said "when I was 19, I caught sight of the future and based my career on what I saw. I turned out to have been right". His mother said to his wife-to-be on the eve of their wedding "for those that have everything, much IS expected".

Start by doing what is necessary ...
then what's possible ...
and suddenly you're doing the impossible.

FAILURE is an ORPHAN

“Michael Grove remarked to Kenneth Baker MP and IT Minister, in 1982, that the archives of the BBC were worth more to the British nation than all the country’s coal deposits. He further remarked that in order to “mine” this wealth, an appropriate industrial infrastructure would have to be established before the information could be put into information technology and subsequently distributed in a form that would be useful to all potential users”

Out of the multitude of companies which will be founded in the next several years, a few “world-class” companies will emerge. Those which achieve this distinction will depend in small part on the market niche which was selected for launching the company, and in large part on its management.

The pace at which 21st century businesses must achieve maturity sets them apart. The normal corporate development cycle taught in business schools will be compressed to one tenth the time. Almost from the first day these companies will be competing for customers against well-managed large companies. By necessity their corporate adolescence must be brief. Sophistication in planning and execution must come quickly.

The market niche which SOULS UNITED has selected for itself could best be described as a “people and resources company of global significance commited to ACTIONS which aim to establish a better understanding of the world around us and a consequent commitment to establish a heaven on earth” ... based on the single most important principle of the "united principles" of feminine and masculine.

The business model on which SOULS UNITED will be established, will align itself to the scalable principle of the Tetrahedral Number in combination with the "united principles" of feminine and masculine.

The co-founders of the company will comprise the balanced and harmonious union of one mother and her son and one father and his daughter, which will comprise the top two layers of the "three layer model" of an equitable, equality of thinking environment. This optimum design "local community solution" of 10 persons, 5 females and 5 males, provides the appropriate scaleability, by means of 10 to the Power 10, to eventually establish the optimum design "global community solution" for 10 billion embodied souls, as SOULS UNITED, to BECOME ONE SOUL.

SOULS UNITED will establish this entity by means of a …
“HUMAN and CAPITAL RESOURCES CENTRE” providing …
“people working together, as local communities, to delivery professional quality services and resources, for the mutual benefit of the peoples of the global community”

The SOULS UNITED HUMAN and CAPITAL RESOURCES CENTRE will need to be based on a keep it simple, sustainable solution focussed on seven key elements – integrity, processes, people, communication, relationships, improvement & citizenship.

Information is explicitly the “light of knowledge”. Instinctive, intuitive, insightful, innovative, bottom-up initiative taking are tacitly and collectively THE Keep It Simple Sustainable solution to the attainment of an understanding of the wisdom of knowledge.

You don’t get quality by following a procedure, IT IS a state of mind, which can only be attained through a process of leading by “the example of experience of responsible action.”

To KNOW and NOT to DO … is NOT YET to KNOW.

In the 21st Century, we face the paradox of being reliant on IT IS systems, represented by an industry that is thought of as being horrible, but nothing happens on this planet, without IT IS systems.

The SOULS UNITED HUMAN and CAPITAL RESOURCES CENTRE’s appropriately integrated IT IS system will need to dispel the prevailing mindset, in the UK, associated with the concept of “knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing”. This IT IS system will need to be a business oriented system based on non-technical as well as technical competence. A system based on integrity, responsibility and accountability, which demonstrates an absolute commitment to ethical standards.

A system which acknowledges the SOULS UNITED HUMAN and CAPITAL RESOURCES CENTRE’s onerous responsibility, in the process of providing a “fit for purpose, art of the possible” shared services solution, equal to its public obligations to humanity, in line with the statement from recently retired US Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O’Connors …

“Professionalism requires adherence to the highest ethical standards of conduct and a willingness to subordinate narrow self-interest in pursuit of the more fundemental goal of public service”

Individually we can make a difference but collectively as an equitable, equality of thinking TEAM, we can action the concept of Together Everyone Achieves More.

A TEAM whose value-set comprises….

SERVICE and SOCIAL RESPONSIBILTY
PARTNERSHIPS and COLLABORATION
COMMITMENT and TRUST
EMPOWERMENT and INNOVATION
PERFORMANCE and EFFICIENCY
LOYALTY and RELATIONSHIPS
PROFIT and SAFETY

consequent to …

An aspiration to a higher potential of expectancy of …
Honesty from its …
Leadership whose …

which is the source of THE UNconditional LOVE which grants us …

SOULS UNITED
OUT of LIGHT ALL IS CREATED

OUT of the LIGHT of KNOWLEDGE of INFORMATION
THE KNOWLEDGE of WISDOM IS then CREATED

To truly create in the physical world, individuals must balance
the YIN and YANG within to a point of stability. When individuals
are able to create and implement ideas, they position themselves
in the field of ONENESS.

SOULS UNITED will be about change management from the outset. Top down change management locked into a closed loop risk-management model, which is “fed” by bottom’s up innovative, initiative taking and integrated with an infinite loop-back evaluation process.

From Lateral Thinking to Parallel Thinking …

From I am Right, You are Wrong to Six Thinking Hats …

From Simplicity to New Thinking for the New Millenium …

Edward De Bono has influenced the most effective change management thinking of global businesses & world processes, over the last four decades.

His words ring loud in the context of the SOULS UNITED initiative.

The thinking of the last millennium has been concerned with “what is”;
The thinking of analysis, criticism and argument and invariably geared
to “who do we blame for this problem?”. The predominant patriarchal thinking of the post-modernist west in fact.

In this 21st century, we need to concentrate on thinking concerned with what can-be - “how do we fix the problem?” - as exemplified by
The Eastern mind-set. This is the thinking that is creative, constructive and seeks to solve problems and conflicts by designing a way forward.

The emphasis being on design not judgement.

Regardless of gender, ability, disability, or age ...
Regardless of religious, scientific or political persuasion ...
Regardless of cult, creed, dogma or specific / non-specific subset thereof ...

IT IS plain, for ALL to see and understand that ...
TRUTH, BEAUTY and GOODNESS are manifest as ONE ...
THROUGHOUT the heavens which constitute our own universe ...
AND no doubt the multiverse of other parallel universes.

In the context of Captain Kirk's "Startrek statement" ...
AND no doubt an underlying thread of "Boston Legal" ...

THAT - CREATION is better than DESTRUCTION & ...
HOPE better than DESPAIR ...

IT HAS BECOME encumbent on our species that the negative energy ...
OF explosive and destructive confrontation which drives the force of evil ...
MUST NOW be pulled into line by the positive energy ...
OF the creative understanding of "good intentions and communications" ...

WHICH IS THE FORCE of LOVE ...

THIS ONE force of LOVE IS therefore a combination of the masculine force of YANG and the feminine force of YIN. These two forces are present in EVERY THING that exists thoughout the multiverse of parallel universes. The natural attraction of the positive and negative energies are everywhere, for there is consciousness even in the ATOM.

GOD is THOUGHT and the chi or prana that exists everywhere has intelligence. This intelligence, which has the power to create, is demonstrated in the Universal Law of Gender as will be exemplified by the ACTIONS of SOULS UNITED from the outset.

AS Xophie quite rightly infers ... IN order that esho funi BE manifested ...
in the mind-set of our third-dimensional embodiment ...
we must of course change ourselves ...
to BE part of something better.

Any company that aspires to be a world class business can be characterised by focus, appreciation, trust, delegation & financial systems based on an absolute necessity to establish, from the outset, a model of conscious capitalist stakeholder values.

An ALL inclusive, conscious capitalist solution based on the very best business practices originally espoused & enacted by Josiah Wedgwood in Stoke-on-Trent, which if good enough to act as a model for Henry Ford's initiative, should equally apply to SOULS UNITED, in a marketplace where “ever increasingly changing change” is the status quo.

OPENING THE DOOR ...

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 08:43:55 -0000

to an AWAKENING of THE SOUL

to the process of CO-CREATION

THERE ARE ONLY TWO RULES ... the journey begins & the journey continues

The multiverse of parallel universes is made up of THE two active principles of ...
YIN & YANG. One perspective SEES these as the positive and negative aspects of LIFE,
while a.n.other refers to them as the polarization of the subparts. Regardless of what words are used to describe these perspectives, these two principles are found in every sub-particle in the multiverse and comprise the foundation for CREATION IT SELF.

THE Universal Law of Gender IS the expression of YIN & YANG, otherwise termed the feminine and masculine. The law states that these two principles reside WITHIN ALL THINGS, and IT IS through these principles that HUMANITY is ABLE to CREATE.

THE Universal Law of Gender is the CREATIVE FORCE that runs from the inner into the outer world. IT IS the force of the ONE & ONLY GOD. It creates LIFE, even that which is born into the solidity of the physical manifestation of our planet of THINGS, for both of the principles of YIN and YANG, in ABSOLUTE BALANCE & HARMONY, must be present to BUILD and to MANIFEST in our third-dimensional reality, as well.

UNIVERSES have been created when the FEMININE PRINCIPLE was unleashed but they have been created only when this was ignited and balanced with the MASCULINE PRINCIPLE. For centuries on our planet, the feminine principle has been thwarted, making it difficult for either men or women to EXERT their FULL HUMAN POTENTIAL. Cultures, societies, individuals, sexes and institutions have ALL participated in suppressing the feminine principle. As a result, creation has been stifled and destruction looms at every turn. The aggression from the masculine principle has thrown ALL THINGS out of balance, leaving the peoples of our planet to wander aimlessly until the power can be restored.

WHEN the YIN & YANG are balanced perfectly within the SOUL, the individual intuitively knows how and when to ACT appropriately in ALL situations.

THE BALANCE of the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE or MASCULINE and FEMININE principles, within each and every one of our SOULS, brings the PERSON to a POINT of ANDROGENY, that state of BALANCE of THE ONE MIND that aligns the individual with the HIGHER SELF.

WHEN these SOULS join together, as the OPTIMUM MINIMUM DESIGN SOLUTION they constitute THE entity of SOULS UNITED.

BEING in the WORLD

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 10:42:21 -0000

LIGHT, LOVE, "small change" & ALL THINGs

When mind knows, we call it knowledge.
When heart knows, we call it love.
And when BEING knows, we call it MEDITATION.

Everybody is after BEING extraordinary.
That is the search of the ego ...
to be someone who is special, to be someone who is unique, incomparable.
And this is the paradox ...
the more you try to be exceptional, the more ordinary you look ...
because everybody is after extraordinariness.

It is such an ORDINARY DESIRE.

If you become ordinary, the very search to be ordinary is extraordinary ...
because rarely does somebody want to be just nobody ...
rarely does somebody want to be just a hollow, empty space.

This is really extraordinary in a way, because nobody wants it.
And when you become ordinary you become extraordinary, and, of course ...
suddenly you discover that without searching you have BECOME UNIQUE.

BECOME ORDINARY and you will BECOME EXTRAORDINARY ...
try to become extraordinary and you will remain ordinary.

BEING IS already as it should be, it is perfect.
NO THING needs to be added to it, NO THING can be added to it.
It's a CREATION of EXISTENCE.
It comes out of perfection, hence it is perfect.
Just withdraw all the hindrances that you have created.

Excerpts from "The Book of Understanding" by OSHO.

Calling ALL YOU angels ...

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:32:13 -0000

THE point has often been made that we are never alone and that we have a variety of resources
to call upon for reassurance, assistance, or learning. ANGELS constitute one of the groups that
are available to us. Each of us has a guardian angel or a higher LIGHT BEING that is actually
one with our Higher Self. They watch over us and provide us guidance on a continuing basis.

There are several other categories of angels who are assigned specific tasks. Angels
communicate with the soul and help us to hear the messages of the higher realms.
Angels are able to assist in combatting the NEGATIVITY of EARTH ...

IF we join together in the LIGHT, we collectively have the power to change the world

Dr. Norma J. Milanovich & Dr. Shirley D. McCure
Joining Forces with the Angels - The Light will set You Free

When CALLED UPON they will come and assist us with our needs ...

SO BE IT

RENDEZOUS with DESTINY

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 09:55:12 -0000

Toby Harnden, reporting on the US Elections 2008, and the only British journalist from outside the US on board 'Obama One', wrote in his Telegraph NEWSREVIEWonSaturday column last weekend ...

It had already been a heady week. On Monday, the day before, Obama had been endorsed for President by Senator Edward Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy, the brother and daughter of JFK. Turning against his friend Hillary Clinton, Kennedy - the liberal lion of the Senate - hailed Obama's "extraordinary gifts of leadership and character, matched to the extraordinary demands of this moment in history" which could lead the US to its "rendezvous with destiny".

Toby Harnden went on to describe - a biting critique of Clinton, by Obama, that framed the battle for the Democratic nomination as being about "the past versus the future. TALKING tough and tallying up your years in Washington is no substitute for judgement, and courage, and clear plans... Dream big dreams ... I would come to meetings with world leaders with the understanding that I was opposed to this war in Iraq from the start, that I had consistently described a US foriegn policy that puts diplomacy at the forefront. As somebody who myself lived overseas [in Indonesia] for a time, the world would see me as a different kind of President, somebody who could see the world through their eyes".

What WE CAN BE - WE MUST BE zaadzsters of THE planet UNITE

DESTINY IS that which one discovers ... IF every opportunity, with which you are faced, is responsibly acted upon in all humility. FATE IS what you are faced with if you don't.

GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK

Having LISTENED to the children ...

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 09:00:58 -0000

AND done ALL in my power to support The Penny On initiative to address the underlying issues of the UN Millenium Goals, IT IS now apparent that "the bigger picture" can only be addressed by an "umberella agency", whose membership, values, structure, rule-set and ACTIONS are attuned to the global issues with which this planet IS faced.

So, the Fat Bunny says: The CHILDREN discover an ancient magic and find the fate of the planetary universe in their hands. Enlisting help from kids throughout the world, they explore the 5th dimension and beyond, in search of an ancient portal to perfection of peace on earth.

There is nothing inherently wrong with masculine energy; IT IS a necessary presence and energy for directing, building and working with the creative force, but IT WAS NEVER INTENDED to GO SOLO. IT IS becoming increasingly obvious in our world that without the balance and equality of the feminine heart and compassion we will remain fragmented personas - male or female - navigating a fragmented world.

Eileen Meyer

"The integral worldview gives us an understanding of culture that allows us to begin to
address the global cultural problems that are at the heart of pretty much every problem.
What I mean is that every problem in the world has its solution at least partially in the raising of consciousness. And that's what the integral worldview does more effectively than any other worldview before it - it can literally raise consciousness at every level".

Steve McIntosh

"No great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig.
If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time.
Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen."

The Enchiridion of Epictetus

“WE need, in the next twenty-five years or so, to do something never before done
- we need to consciously redesign the entire material basis of our civilisation
- and we only have ONE shot at the task”

Alex Steffan

START ALL OVER

make a

NEW BEGINNING

IF ONE wishes to eat figs or grapes, however, one has to plant a fig seed or a grape seed, in the first instance, and "not just any old seed and hope for the best"

Farewell and goodluck to Penny On and all who would sail with her ...
