Ecstasy at the Gates of Ecological Hell

Every evening, when time for reflection and contemplation comes, desperation sets in. And it’s getting worse every day, ever since I’m in the loop of ecology and world change activists’ free-style mail groups. I think it started for real after reading some of the posts on “preparing for civilization’s collapse” – that friend Dave Pollard … Read more →

The Community as a Whole is More than the Sum of its Parts – Work in Progress

I’ve been working on this mind map this whole weekend and will be working on it some more. You can, if you like also work on it (best to enlarge it before you do that – and even if you want to see it in more detail)… or comment. (More work from 1 & 2. … Read more →

Resonance & the Living Field

In recent weeks I’ve been contemplating the living field and how it operates. In “The Living Field, Participatory Design & Collaboration Ecology” one of the important points was, apart from taking a close look at what kinds of fields we are dealing with and some other matters, that processes like participatory design and community building … Read more →

The Living Field & the Art of Living

Wikipedia: Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music and literature. In my most recent post I have been revisiting what I’ve called the Living Field, how I … Read more →

Desire is a meeting place

Desire is a meeting place. And it’s a matter of timing, aligning so much that synchronicity of desiring is much more likely. Have to have your ‘eye’ on the feeling-field, and keep the connection. This is an inner gesture, an immediate expression of what you have learnt before. Like walking. Ever looked at how a … Read more →

Enlightening the Passions – Day 17

We must be true inside, true to ourselves, before we can know a truth that is outside us. But we make ourselves true inside by manifesting the truth as we see it. – Thomas Merton Whenever I have the opportunity these days – when designing a screen, maybe, or creating imaginary people for demos; things … Read more →

Me to the Power of Us

A beautiful video illustration a visionary statement by Michel Bauwens which expresses most beautifully the Path I find myself to be on. “Anyway, this is what the changes are about, augmenting the individual through relationality, with the object of creating common value �collectively�, through self-aggregation. The whole push of the p2p revolution is to create … Read more →

The Most Effective Way to Change the World

Wow… that’s really a headline, isn’t it? And that is really what we’re going for here, isn’t it? Well, one extremely effective way to not only change the world but your self as well is: Changing the World one smile at a time.

An amazing question?

There is something that continues to amaze me every time I see a big spiritual festival announced in which the superstars and celebrities of the mystic heavens, the gurus and the pundits, the successful therapists and masters of living a beautiful life take the stage. If I understand most of the teachings that they are … Read more →

We are the next Buddha

Helen wrote in her blog “Why the next Buddha will be a collective.” I hope to show with this article where I am coming from in this regard so that in the time to come we can have beautiful dialogues, trialogues or any other -logues to help this meme propagate. I guess, for me it … Read more →
