What is what?

full interview here

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find anything that agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

Unreported World

An UK channel 4's remarkable series capturing several injust and violent situations happening today in multiple places around the world, often triggered because economical reasons, related to human greed or to the thirst for power.

Over the course of these deliveries, each one having 25 minutes running time, reporters have travelled to dangerous locations all over the world in an attempt to uncover stories usually ignored by the world mass and local media.

Upside Down World

Everything is upside down in today's world. Michael Ellner wrote it in this way; doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroys information and religions destroy spirituality.

Paradox

We have bigger houses but smaller families;
More conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense;
More knowledge, but less judgment;

More experts, but more problems;
More medicines, but less healthiness;
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour...

Bansky on the Wall

Posted on Bansky´s site, you´ll find this one from Emo Phillips: When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised God doesn’t work that way, so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness.



See here a great 7min. documentary about his work.

The Man Who Sold The World

We passed upon the stair, we spoke in was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise, I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for a foreign land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stair, we walked a million hills
I must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World...

21st Century

A contemporaneous vision of spirituality throughout the words of three men with a profound understanding of today and the challenges humanity will have yet to face.

Stephen Jourdain, Arnaud Desjardins and Lee Lozowick.

Speechless

Will Henry said that fools live to regret their words, wise men to regret their silence.

Putting the sense of live to regret in the right place, often this makes a lot of sense.

Thought we should all live, make our mistakes and learn from them. Regreting just when necessary, but moreover do not forget being much more careful the next time, when choosing between word or silence.

Flow of Time

The objective world simply is, it does not happen. Only to the gaze of my consciousness, crawling upward along the life line of my body, does a certain section of this world come to life as a fleeting image in space which continuously changes in time.
__Hermann Klaus Hugo Weyl

Wars

In the answer to 'why we fight?' lays the reason why our actual political, social and economic systems are not yet updated to the current state of knowledge.

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.

By Terence McKenna

10min.

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

Human Rights

On December 10th, 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights was approved.

Article 1 says: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.


2min.

Would like to mention here a great article written by Daniele Archibugi, professor of innovation, governance and public policy at Birkbeck college, university of London, that's how it begins:

As the time comes to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the West has lost its moral authority and seems incapable of offering any hope of future dignity to the rest of the world. Guantanamo, 'extraordinary rendition' and Abu Ghraib will be just some of the words launched in the face of the West to deny its self-assigned role as the champion of human rights.

The Shadow

...and the puppeteers

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:

Part 1 - 2min.

The Greed Game

As the credit crunch bites and a global economic crisis threatens, the following documentary reveals how the super-rich have made their fortunes, and the small investors and tax payers are picking up the bill.

See here how the private-equity partners, and the hedge-fund managers were all using other people’s money for their deals, into a system that is allowing them, for example, to transform poor quality loans into 'high quality investments'. And, while enjoying the enormous returns, they couldn't help leveraging more and bigger deals, due their greed and the money available at low interest rates.


Super Rich: The Greed Game - 1h.

The proposal into the docummentary about taking the diamond skull as the symbol of our age is really scary, but unfortunatelly quite right.

Bellow you may see a funny and informative interview about financial crisis and global markets, performed by John Bird and John Fortune at the 'Last Laugh' show, subtitled in Spanish.

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.
