The Human Dream

If we can let go with our own fear, we can truly remove fear from the world. Because the world appears to be some kind of human imagination about ourselves.



We are here to remember our true essence, to learn how to let ego behind, and evolve togheter towards a higher state of consciousness. That´s the path to walk through, the burden to leave behind, and the light shining in us.

Unlearning Creativity

An entertaining yet profound case for creating an education system that nurtures, rather than undermines, creativity.




Sir Ken Robinson recalling some of Picasso's words tells here that if we are not prepared to be wrong, we will never come up with anything original. Today, by the time to be adults, most of the kids have lost this capacity... All the kids are born artists, the problem is to make an artist as we grow up.

Design Responsibility

Buckminster Fuller was who said that you never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing one obsolete.

Seventy-five years later, the Buckminster Fuller Institute keeps promoting this idea, organizing a design challenge and awarding comprehensive solutions that radically advance human well-being and ecosystem health.

Courage

You block your dreams when you allow your fears to grow bigger than your faith. Never fear shadows, they simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby. Because each time we face our fears, we gain strength, courage, and confidence.


1½min.

If I can endure for this minute whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is, or how dark the moment might be...

If I can but keep on believing what I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with morning and that this will pass away, too...

Then nothing can ever disturb me or fill me with uncertain fear.
For as sure as night brings dawning, my morning is bound to appear...

Creativity

Our fundamental challenge is to give birth to a new society, a new way of being a human and a new planet. That's something never done in our entire history. Earth for sure has manifested this level of creativity, but humans have never been called upon to produce such alternative ideas.

The critical first step is to understand our primary community. That's something beyond our nation state, beyond any culture, any corporation. World does not end up in the industrial society or in our actual economic system.

We fail to appreciate that we are one economy more amongst many, birds have an economy, plants, rivers, oceans have an economy. There are a lot of different ways of making a living.

To step into this new era, we have to re-invent economic activity in a way that is an enhancement to all other economies too. This requires considering humankind as a whole, to consider us a self-aware part of the cosmos, together with the entire earth.

Permission to Hope

Because nature builds in previous achieved levels of complexity, and each advance in complexity proceeds more quickly than the stage that preceded it.

What's so progressive about media? It's just the spreading of darkness at the speed of light.

Stardust

Stars that have evolved off the main sequence and have entered the giant phase of their evolution, are the major source of dust grains in galaxies. If one indeed traces the origin of the elements out of which our bodies are made, we are star dust.

Monday

Scarcity

Is it possible to have, within our actual monetary system, a world free of wars and famine? A globe inhabited with citizens behaving in ethical and decent ways, focussed on global evolution and the full development of our personal capabilities?

We should realize that efficiency, sustainability and abundance are the real enemies of the profit system. Money is the actual barrier to our society growth. Within the monetary system scarcity is what really keeps the products valuable, profits high and people enslaved.

Do we have, at this moment in time, both the resources and technical understanding necessary to build up a new self-sustainable society? What are the real barriers keeping us into the miserable global reality?

Brain Duality

Check out an interesting presentation from Jill Bolte Taylor about brain duality, including Spanish subtitles as well as texts in several other languages.



LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS:
Uses logic, analytical, detail oriented, facts rule, words and language, present and past, math and science, can comprehend, knowing, organized, acknowledges, order/pattern perception, knows object name, reality based, scientific, deatached, sequential, forms strategies, practical, repetitive, precise, literal, safe…

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS:
Uses feeling, “big picture” oriented, imagination rules, symbols and images, present and future, philosophy & religion, can “get it” (i.e. meaning), conceptual, believes, imaginative, intuitive, appreciates, spatial perception, knows object function, irregular, fantasy based, heuristic, empathetic, figurative, presents possibilities, impetuous, creative, risk taking…

Mind and Matter

Recent advances in cellular science are announcing an important evolutionary turning point. For almost fifty years we have held the illusion that our health and fate were pre-programmed in our genes, a concept referred to as genetic determinacy.

Here you’ll see how a radically new understanding is unfolding at the leading edge of science. Cellular biologists now realize that the external universe, our internal physiology, and our perception of the environment: directly controls the activity of our genes.

Short illustrated talk:

7min.

Approaching this from a broad open view, the wisdom to be reached is related to both environment and inner awareness, and how perception is effectively shaped by our understanding.

On Bruce Lipton's book: The Biology Of Belief, describes how a thought can trigger changes in body functioning, and become physical. Moreover, how uncertainly and quantum theories support this approach, and help to explain that our knowledge in science must be upgraded from the rigid view of Newton mechanics, to a broader perception in the awareness of a world made of energy.

Clicking on this presentation1 & 2, you may enjoy a detailed development of the New Biology theories, by Professor Lipton. Great things shall come from the seed of this work.

And here is a brief introduction:

High Hopes

The Division Bell



Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our troughts strayed constandly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begin

Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The night of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfuried
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Eneumbered forever by desire and ambition
Theres a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many time

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever



Science


The exponential development of human knowledge is taking us to a critical point. We´ve already reached the evolutionary spot where from all human essential needs can be satisfied, just with a logical organization of the resources and a fair wealth distribution. If people finally becomes really aware of it, the transformation of our society is just a question of time.

Our Dumb World

Never before in the history of humankind we’ve had such amount of information, opportunities and resources to develop our knowledge; and never before we’ve seen such an epidemic of stupidity around.

The following excellent documentary explores this phenomenon, with a comic but scientific approach; digging in the interesting origins of the etymology of several words related to this concept.


1h. (skip first 30sec.)

Also the intro of the funny movie idiocracy, brings a very interesting point of view about human evolution. Referring to a not-so-unlikely future that someday might come to reality, if in our global society we keep spoiling and compensating ourselves and the young generations, for being each time more proud of our ignorance.

To Evolve

Evolution, words and ♥ labels begin with a fragment of Richard Linklater's movie 'Waking Live', wondering why human evolution seems to had been on hold for so long.

The cut is questioning some of our actual society values, and points out to one of the reasons why we are stuck in the same loop, for so many centuries.


Potential

This is plot's film at Wikipedia:
'In a broad scope, Waking Life is about a young man in a persistent lucid dream-like state. The film follows its protagonist as he initially observes and later participates in philosophical discussions that weave together issues like appearance and reality, free will, our relationships with others, and the meaning of life. The young man eventually comes to realize the possibility that the reason he is unable to wake up is because he is dead'


... But he isn't.

Enjoy here the full movie.
