William
Glasser "
Control

" suggests that:If you keep doing what you
doYou keep getting what you getand if you don't know where you are going
you end up somewhere else
The
art of government has the same root in semantics as cybernetics (
Dr.
Norbert Wiener 1948 ) in the concept of the steersman on the ship of
state - guidance of the Polis to safe harbor.
The internal control system
either can be on auto pilot or under conscious control and direction. How
much can training and education, positive /images and experiences replace
infant programming ? So how much control do we have ? Are we responsible
* control our ability to respond ? Do we really have choices ? Things -
institutions, politics, communities, values, families, business, money,
congress are "out of their minds" , living in a dream world, walking in
their sleep ? ( Or is it just my over active imagination
Bio-politics,
education and the Chemical-behavioral paradigm: Domination and Liberation.
It
is good practice to design organizational, political, educational, training,
and commercial activity with knowledge of the "newest" findings of social
psychology, and the most "ancient" methods of character development. In
times of change, it become necessary to think of ways to promote "reprogrammed"
individuals and systems. We are in the area of great change as we move
from industrial models of domination to information systems and cooperation.
Fundamental change is not so simple and the evolution of culture has never
been so fast. We need new techniques to deal we this kind of challenge.
There is no solution "inside the box", we have to look beyond our culturally
defined ruts. (SEE Bernie Siegel, Deepak Chopra, Ernest Rossi, Carl Simonton
and others
on Consciousness,
Awareness, and Mind-Body Healing by Marcus S. Robinson, D.C.H.
Candace
Pert, interviewed in Bill Moyers' "Healing and the Mind" (Doubleday 1995
based on the PBS series) was Chief of Brain Bio- chemistry at the NIH.
She discovered new types of psychoactive drugs that are produced by the
brain, endorphins, which means "morphines from within", that are similar
to opiates taken as drugs.
The
physical matter changes with personality. It goes both ways. " the mind
is not just in the brain but is part of a communications network throughout
the brain and body. You can start to see how physiology can effect functioning
on a moment- to-moment, hour-by-hour, day-today basis, much more that we
give it credit for." If people live in an industrial, factory system, where
domination, power, and control are the commanding social conditions, they
become physically different from people who work and live in an information,
learning organization.
The workers of Detroit have different bio-chemical
systems than those of San Jose and the silicon valley. Different groups
of voters have different chemical reactions to the symbols, sights and
sounds of political messages.
As
a neuroscientist Dr. Pert was `secretly' interested in consciousness and
became aware that the immune system produces a number psychosomatic (psyche
= mind, soma = body ) chemical transmitters.
The internal information system
is a biochemical, electrical network.
The messenger peptides inform and
stimulate cells to produce or not produce proteins, divide or not divide,
and the direct the roles of different sub-systems in complex strategies
of growth, protection, and mood.
The fight-flight (stress response) is
only one of many sub-systems. (Herbert Benson)
Consciousness
involves every cell of the body.
Try to get
your "mind" around this concept. Thinking and awareness is NOT a computer
chip but a chemical soup, dynamic interactions on bio-chemical networks,
not programmed but conditioned by genes and the physical, social environment.
Genetic context is interactive with `ecological' emotional and social states.
Neuro-peptides and their receptors are emotions.
This
new science opens doors to "body knowledge", intuition, and the deep programming
of socialization. Television and diet impact who we are. Commercials, sex
and violence, effect mood by way of organic chemistry. Bio-politics speaks
to the production of Neuro-transmitters.
The
peptides are the material manifestation of the psyche and the "soul". Anger,
love, fear, awe, depression, joy, are physical and material body reactions.
Actors that play happy people have different blood chemistry from actors
that play angry people. Thinking makes it happen, body chemistry effects
our thinking. Psychol-therapy, or traditional education maybe able to change
our patterns of thought to produce new chemical balances, but its very
difficult and unlikely. But if drugs can change the chemistry - bingo our
own attitude changes.
"People
with multiple personalities sometimes have extremely clear physical symptoms
that vary with each personality. One personality can be allergic to cats
while another is not. One personality can be diabetic and another is not."
Neuro-peptides
are the biochemical units of emotion. Emotions almost always set the context
for behavior. Perhaps, industrial and social training need to take place
with sets of conditions that produce the responses needed. Construction,
decoration and graphics, sights and sounds, diet, motion, all can contribute.
Maybe also "soma", drugs that produce a sense of security, well- being
and hope.
This is the base of our Sufi program.
The
old systems of power and top-down authority (Male domination systems) have
become more and more dysfunctional. Public schools are the great hold-outs
of "communist", state bureaucracies that ignore market forces. IBM, GM,
and the other industrial giants are making way for smaller, faster, more
flexible cooperative systems of enterprise.
The US congress with it's domination
by old men, committee chairmen, no longer works. Big "communications" mega-media
is coming apart at the edges.
?)TOO
BIG - TOO MUCH CHANGE - TOO FAST and there is nothing we can do about it
! We can never understand the relationship between ourselves and the universals
?
There are many simple actions that will make our lives and our schools,
or families, or communities, or nation better but be are frozen - unable
to move -First we need the sense to make sense - the freedom to make choices
- I have said for years - first you need a system capable of reform - then
reform will happen. Public Education as now structured so as to be incapable
of reform, so is the national political process, so are most of us.
RE:
The fifth
wave of MONEY and Business and Education and Politics: A new discipline
FIRST:
The new conceptual framework or paradigm: We have to
wake-up,
get in touch, with "
The dreamtime" -
The myths, traditions, customs, laws,
that define "who are you" - and create the law - customs that define us
as social (civilized) humans * the Way of the First Self (of many selves)
is Tribal.
The economies use barter - up and down - one dimension. (
The
Last Wave of Peter Wier)
SECOND WRITING, GOLD and silver coins - right and left, two dimensions:
Civilization is an abstraction - the common illusions of belief systems
of Church and State - Kings and priests.."
The ancient regime" *
The modern
world is a reaction to the "caste" system * demands some freedom of choice
- THIRD PRINTING, Banks and corporations,
The Dutch about the 15th Century,
in and out - third dimension - private enterprise - Freemasons and clock
works as a model of the universe, solid state physics -
The rational modern
world rejected the old order and almost all the "spirit" and "body knowledge"
and got itself into a value free science - What ever worked ? Logic positivism
? Good grief - clearly going too far - FOURTH Electric phones, Radio, TV,
telex, made possible Central Banks, modern money and banking, rediscounting
and the multiplier effect. (19th Century) Time is the fourth dimension.
The electrical, chemical, mass production systems - mass production factories
and scientific management * Where our minds are formed and institutions
are set in their ruts.. Institutions take on their own culture -
The sum
becomes more than the parts -
The Man in the Grey Business Suit - Blue
Shirt IBM - Where is the freedom of choice ? Where are the values that
make for honest human relationships and real quality ? Deming and Dewey
knew the human pain and suffering cause the loss of connections between
thinking and doing: the is the "new" old order.
FIFTH,
The fifth dimension, or fifth
discipline is about wholes - the sum being more than the parts -
RE: Bio-culture
Stage
One:
Tribal,
The bushmen and Australian aborigines
are examples where the body-mind, body-mind transmitters, the immune system,
and the organization of the uncommitted cortex become synergist with the
tribal customs, beliefs, traditions, that make up tribal "law". While we
are all the product of our culture, the biological base is little understood.
As Ed Wilson's called it "the groves" or patterns of or body-mind, genealogy,
chemistry are social and cultural. That is the nature of man.
Stage
two,
Urban
- During the 30,000 years of the agricultural, urban revolution, "modern
man" added cultural and material technology in a more conscious way. Writing,
coins, kings and priests, raised the level of awareness to the human potential
beyond the tribal "self".
The education of leaders was "in the world, but
not of the world", so they could see beyond the limits of their own culture.
It is always a mistake to believe in your own propaganda - divine kings
have to know the reality of their divinity or they become crazy, and can
not tell the map from the territory - what is "real" and what is popular
illusion. Who is the real wizard of OZ, because the wizard must knows he
is not the mighty OZ, but only some one who controls the leavers.
Stage
three,
from
the renaissance on, the growing hubris, arrogant, and pride that man was
the measure of all things and was not limited by god, nature, culture and
tradition.
The result was the vast expansion of European power, capitalism,
bureaucracy, democracy, the rebellion of the American Colonies, the French
Revolution, Marxism, Fascist, and evangelical religion ( a direct contact
with a personal god ).
The biological limits were pushed but not repealed.
It was not nice to mess with "Mother" nature.
The war gods, aggressive,
and pushy won a temporary spurious victory. Dr. Faustus made his deal with
the devil.
Stage
four
the
firstand second industrial revolutions through electic and chemical stages,
money and banking, insurance, corporations, income taxes, social security,
and the whole complex of cultural and material artifacts of the modern
world. ( You can see how complex this social web is from the experience
of the USS-was, without real commercial law, banks, property, insurance,
et al. Big was better, god was on the side of the best armed and trained
regiments. Our mind-sets, models, assumptions, institutions all come from
the industrial age.
Stage
Five,
The biological
tradition relates to all life, and connects the individual and society
to universals. This is the
COVENANT
. 
*When you break the covenant between the society or individual and "mother"
nature, the law falls away and all hell breaks loose - said the prophet.
The
loss of faith in the traditional authority and belief structure is what
happened to the Seneca ( Tony Wallace ) - then the white buffalo and dooms
day cults - Buchanan, Evangelist, Flat taxers and White racist, the mad
search for biological roots in the dream time, when the tradition no longer
"works", and authority fails. If we are post industrial, post civilization
- then what ?
My
vision is not hopeful.. islands (with walls and gates) of electronic connections
- artificial intelligence without the feel of blood, of breath, of heat
or cold, of love or hate, of dreams or passions, unconnected to the billions
of years of creation, not really knowing their clan territory, having no
sense of place, no roots.
Who are you
?
You
are slim mold, fish, plants, the ocean in the living blood. We need a new
tribalism to balance the abstraction * the BS, the commercial amoral technology...We
need a Handsome Lake, with a vision. (See the Last Wave of Peter Weir's
A wonderful film )
RE:
The Vision Thing:<
People
keep asking: What is going on here. First
I have no fixed doctrine, or even clear goals. If you benefit from what
I have done then I have done something, I can be pleased.
Otherwise it is sound and fury meaning nothing - If you can help by letting
me know what is useful then you will help yourself and others who visit
in the future. Maybe this is a new form of literature, a new form of communications,
a new form of knowing, a new form of teaching and learning, maybe it's
a new life form that takes shape as it evolves, maybe it's trash, maybe
it's wisdom, maybe it's hope, maybe it's hopeless ?
Maybe it's my EGO blast, maybe its beyond or above or into or out of my
mind, wise fool or foolish ? A GURU I am not! It is a new world order that
does not fit the internalized models and assumptions of the industrial
empire. It's radical, flexible, profound, difficult, and complexity human.
It starts with a vision, a non-verbal knowing of non-self, existence and
reality beyond self.
The fourth force comes from awareness of the "roundness"
of reality.
The three classical attitudes are:
THE
MONK,
control
of passions or ID,
THE
YOGI,

BODY-MIND

THE
NERD LOCATION
"New Age",
Humanistic psychology, trans-personal, ecological, motivational "positive
thinking", peak performance, which are all aspects of the same elephant.
In
Fritz
Perls terms:
Chicken
dropping
Cow
dropping (BS) -
showing
off, undergraduate discussions, politics * pretence and role playing..
Elephant
dropping
profound
but empty, false talk, the news, politics and hollow religion - profound
pretenses -
The
State
of the Union
The
ancient Sufi tale of the elephant in the dark (or blind men and the elephant)
is about people's limits of awareness. Everyone perceives and different
aspect of "reality" and then argues with others who have grasped a different
piece. Higher awareness requires an altered states of consciousness.
THE
WAY YOU SEE THE PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM
Another
tale is the
lion in the pit told
in books by Idries Shah Tales of the Dervishes, Sufi teaching stories
and in the Sufis.
You
try to show the lion the way of escape but he doesn't perceive the nature
of his condition and situation. He eats the people that come to help him.
People do not take kindly to enlightment.
There
is no good deed that goes unpunished.
There
is an integration of modern physics, medicine, psychology, philosophy,
and ancient ways of knowing.
The
vision comes from Handsome Lake, the
Tony
Wallace "
The Death and Rebirth of the Seneca"
The covenant has been
broken - society, the traditional ways of knowing, authority has been lost.
Things are coming apart and people don't seem to know "what is going on".
Stages:
The Spectrum of Consciousness:
ONE
TWO:
(Infant
Awareness) Thinking in words and /images, focused impulses and emotions:
Ages one to three.
THREE:<
(Elementary
Symbolic Awareness)
The unique nature of humans is advanced symbol identification
and naming in context of a social language: (ages three to six)
FOUR:
(Junior
Role Awareness) Construction of "rules", Roles, Acting the part, Pretense,
the BLUE water stage, construction of the "life Rafts", defenses, body
amour, and habits "which start as fine as spider's webs but with practice
become heavy chains, iron cables which define the limits of our being,"
these chains were constructed in the "industrial age".
The "information
age" requires breaking the habits of mass production, top down, bureaucratic
consciousness, inside and outside.
FIVE:
(
High School, apprenticeship, emotional/rational awareness ) Introspection,
deductive reasoning, and social acceptable behavior ( by peer groups and
commercial interests ).
The YELLOW earth stage of rationalization, projections,
transference, dogma, beliefs, superstitions, fancies: based on passions,
wants, needs, desires, EGO gratification. Society demands this level of
development but no more, there are social pressures to keep the "masses"
as factory workers and not move their awareness beyond this norm. to wake
up the people to "what is really going on" is a subversive activity.
SIX:
(
EDUCATED: http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/JOURneyman,
The Liberal Arts,
wake-up) Traditionally reserved for the "ruling class", Humanities, More
integrated thinking, a wider prospective, the greater good, synthesis,
connections, relationships, were necessary for leadership, maybe even some
body-mind awareness. Poetry, the visual arts, music, dance, philosophy,
modern science and math, open the doors of perception beyond the limits
of "home town" culture.
The RED Zone, because the dangers and fear of freedom,
most people do now have the security to feel comfortable with open horizons
and new ideas, cultures, changes, possibilities.
SEVEN:
(
MASTERS Craftsmen Level, KNOWLEDGEABLE, understanding, pay attention:)
almost wise, profound: Some are born to independence, some achieve independence,
some have independence thrust upon them).
The BROWN Ground is the deep
down sense of being OK, self actualization.
The "feeling" not a thought
that you can trust and believe in yourself, you are the perfect creation
of a loving G- D, you are not the reflection in others eyes and DEPENDENT
on others reactions, but have gained freedom to respond by your free choice.
Knowledge is the connection between thinking and doing, information plus
understanding of what is really going on beyond the information given.
EIGHT:<
Doctor's
level - (In the old crafts guild sense not our corrupted educational certificates)
Psychic, mystic, awareness of spirits, ghosts, mysteries, demons, love,
hate, body-mind connections - NOT independent of ego, or information, knowledge,
experience, common sense, but an expansion.
There are a lot of "fakes",
wizards, con-artist, crazies, who sell short cuts to "wisdom", faith, trans-personal
spiritual, transforming experience, BUT...BUT... BUT...
Level
nine and ten
The concept is mostly expressed in the heavenly music
of the spheres, the sweet harmony of the universe, the poetry of the soul;
" we are the stuff of which stars and dreams are made", - a mystery in
a puzzle in an enigma - and feel comfortable with different ways of knowing
and not knowing.
The many "selves" become integrated not overwhelmed or
destroyed, the repertoire becomes wider - Rumi, Mozart, Franklin, FD Roosevelt,
( all freemasons) and in our day: Herbert Benson, Joseph Campbell. et al

Dear Peter, YOU SAID: "Project Appleseed, the national campaign for public

about what you would like to see on this site and links you believe are
helpful."could you tell me the web address? Thank you.Tina Bell tdbell@ctc.csustan.eduPeter,
Have you thought about the decimal system?It is essentially the outline
form of organizing essays you probably learned in school but instead of
using a mixed bag of indices (Roman numerals, capital letters, small letters,
numbers, etc) you simply use a decimal system. IBM is probably the most
famous organization to completely adopt the system.1. /documents/pathos/

in everyday life1.2.1
The psychology of everyday life1.2.2
The psychology
of transformative life ...2. Ethos ...etc. I think the best feature of
this approach is its openness: categories can be added at any level, at
any time, using a completely logical extention of the system in use. A
close second is the intuitive character of the system: knowing little about
it, most people working with such material can usually find their way through
the maze quite easily.IMPORTANT: take the time to give some thought to
those "highest level" categories in the system.
They cannot easily be subsumed
under still higher-level categories: all other numbers then have to change

Peter Pflaum Subject: Re: Basic human character Peter, Have you read
The
Universe Story, by Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry?
Also, Swimme has
a video series called Canticle to the Cosmos - any one of the 12 will give
you a good feel for his work.
The central idea is that humans need a "creation
story" - a new cosmology, that post-Einsteinian, post Heisenberg science
can now provide - in order to reconnect with nature on a sacred level and
release the energy that we need to evolve to the next stage.
They see us
having to choose between an ecozoic era or a technozoic era - the former
based on new cosmology/deep ecology and the latter that continues our erroneous
view that we are
out
side nature and can continue exploiting the world's resources for our
exclusive benefit.Anyway - highly recommended stuff. A quantum leap beyond

The
demons are not so easily appeased and driven off -
There seems to be no
quick fix.
There is a long history of "positive self image" from Dale Carnegie,
to Steven Covey,

Csikszentmihalyi, Wayne Dyer, Norman Vincent Peel to Nightingale,
Den
nis Waitley, Bishop Sheen.
William
Glasser "
Control
Theory and Reality
Therapy
" suggests that:If you keep doing what you
doYou keep getting what you getand if you don't know where you are going
you end up somewhere else
The
art of government has the same root in semantics as cybernetics (
Dr.
Norbert Wiener 1948 ) in the concept of the steersman on the ship of
state - guidance of the Polis to safe harbor.
The internal control system
either can be on auto pilot or under conscious control and direction. How
much can training and education, positive /images and experiences replace
infant programming ? So how much control do we have ? Are we responsible
* control our ability to respond ? Do we really have choices ? Things -
institutions, politics, communities, values, families, business, money,
congress are "out of their minds" , living in a dream world, walking in
their sleep ? ( Or is it just my over active imagination
Bio-politics,
education and the Chemical-behavioral paradigm: Domination and Liberation.
It
is good practice to design organizational, political, educational, training,
and commercial activity with knowledge of the "newest" findings of social
psychology, and the most "ancient" methods of character development. In
times of change, it become necessary to think of ways to promote "reprogrammed"
individuals and systems. We are in the area of great change as we move
from industrial models of domination to information systems and cooperation.
Fundamental change is not so simple and the evolution of culture has never
been so fast. We need new techniques to deal we this kind of challenge.
There is no solution "inside the box", we have to look beyond our culturally
defined ruts. (SEE Bernie Siegel, Deepak Chopra, Ernest Rossi, Carl Simonton
and others
on Consciousness,
Awareness, and Mind-Body Healing by Marcus S. Robinson, D.C.H.
Candace
Pert, interviewed in Bill Moyers' "Healing and the Mind" (Doubleday 1995
based on the PBS series) was Chief of Brain Bio- chemistry at the NIH.
She discovered new types of psychoactive drugs that are produced by the
brain, endorphins, which means "morphines from within", that are similar
to opiates taken as drugs.
The
physical matter changes with personality. It goes both ways. " the mind
is not just in the brain but is part of a communications network throughout
the brain and body. You can start to see how physiology can effect functioning
on a moment- to-moment, hour-by-hour, day-today basis, much more that we
give it credit for." If people live in an industrial, factory system, where
domination, power, and control are the commanding social conditions, they
become physically different from people who work and live in an information,
learning organization.
The workers of Detroit have different bio-chemical
systems than those of San Jose and the silicon valley. Different groups
of voters have different chemical reactions to the symbols, sights and
sounds of political messages.
As
a neuroscientist Dr. Pert was `secretly' interested in consciousness and
became aware that the immune system produces a number psychosomatic (psyche
= mind, soma = body ) chemical transmitters.
The internal information system
is a biochemical, electrical network.
The messenger peptides inform and
stimulate cells to produce or not produce proteins, divide or not divide,
and the direct the roles of different sub-systems in complex strategies
of growth, protection, and mood.
The fight-flight (stress response) is
only one of many sub-systems. (Herbert Benson)
Consciousness
involves every cell of the body.
Try to get
your "mind" around this concept. Thinking and awareness is NOT a computer
chip but a chemical soup, dynamic interactions on bio-chemical networks,
not programmed but conditioned by genes and the physical, social environment.
Genetic context is interactive with `ecological' emotional and social states.
Neuro-peptides and their receptors are emotions.
This
new science opens doors to "body knowledge", intuition, and the deep programming
of socialization. Television and diet impact who we are. Commercials, sex
and violence, effect mood by way of organic chemistry. Bio-politics speaks
to the production of Neuro-transmitters.
The
peptides are the material manifestation of the psyche and the "soul". Anger,
love, fear, awe, depression, joy, are physical and material body reactions.
Actors that play happy people have different blood chemistry from actors
that play angry people. Thinking makes it happen, body chemistry effects
our thinking. Psychol-therapy, or traditional education maybe able to change
our patterns of thought to produce new chemical balances, but its very
difficult and unlikely. But if drugs can change the chemistry - bingo our
own attitude changes.
"People
with multiple personalities sometimes have extremely clear physical symptoms
that vary with each personality. One personality can be allergic to cats
while another is not. One personality can be diabetic and another is not."
Neuro-peptides
are the biochemical units of emotion. Emotions almost always set the context
for behavior. Perhaps, industrial and social training need to take place
with sets of conditions that produce the responses needed. Construction,
decoration and graphics, sights and sounds, diet, motion, all can contribute.
Maybe also "soma", drugs that produce a sense of security, well- being
and hope.
This is the base of our Sufi program.
The
old systems of power and top-down authority (Male domination systems) have
become more and more dysfunctional. Public schools are the great hold-outs
of "communist", state bureaucracies that ignore market forces. IBM, GM,
and the other industrial giants are making way for smaller, faster, more
flexible cooperative systems of enterprise.
The US congress with it's domination
by old men, committee chairmen, no longer works. Big "communications" mega-media
is coming apart at the edges.
?)TOO
BIG - TOO MUCH CHANGE - TOO FAST and there is nothing we can do about it
! We can never understand the relationship between ourselves and the universals
?
There are many simple actions that will make our lives and our schools,
or families, or communities, or nation better but be are frozen - unable
to move -First we need the sense to make sense - the freedom to make choices
- I have said for years - first you need a system capable of reform - then
reform will happen. Public Education as now structured so as to be incapable
of reform, so is the national political process, so are most of us.
RE:
The fifth
wave of MONEY and Business and Education and Politics: A new discipline
FIRST:
The new conceptual framework or paradigm: We have to
wake-up,
get in touch, with "
The dreamtime" -
The myths, traditions, customs, laws,
that define "who are you" - and create the law - customs that define us
as social (civilized) humans * the Way of the First Self (of many selves)
is Tribal.
The economies use barter - up and down - one dimension. (
The
Last Wave of Peter Wier)
SECOND WRITING, GOLD and silver coins - right and left, two dimensions:
Civilization is an abstraction - the common illusions of belief systems
of Church and State - Kings and priests.."
The ancient regime" *
The modern
world is a reaction to the "caste" system * demands some freedom of choice
- THIRD PRINTING, Banks and corporations,
The Dutch about the 15th Century,
in and out - third dimension - private enterprise - Freemasons and clock
works as a model of the universe, solid state physics -
The rational modern
world rejected the old order and almost all the "spirit" and "body knowledge"
and got itself into a value free science - What ever worked ? Logic positivism
? Good grief - clearly going too far - FOURTH Electric phones, Radio, TV,
telex, made possible Central Banks, modern money and banking, rediscounting
and the multiplier effect. (19th Century) Time is the fourth dimension.
The electrical, chemical, mass production systems - mass production factories
and scientific management * Where our minds are formed and institutions
are set in their ruts.. Institutions take on their own culture -
The sum
becomes more than the parts -
The Man in the Grey Business Suit - Blue
Shirt IBM - Where is the freedom of choice ? Where are the values that
make for honest human relationships and real quality ? Deming and Dewey
knew the human pain and suffering cause the loss of connections between
thinking and doing: the is the "new" old order.
FIFTH,
The fifth dimension, or fifth
discipline is about wholes - the sum being more than the parts -
RE: Bio-culture
Stage
One:
Tribal,
The bushmen and Australian aborigines
are examples where the body-mind, body-mind transmitters, the immune system,
and the organization of the uncommitted cortex become synergist with the
tribal customs, beliefs, traditions, that make up tribal "law". While we
are all the product of our culture, the biological base is little understood.
As Ed Wilson's called it "the groves" or patterns of or body-mind, genealogy,
chemistry are social and cultural. That is the nature of man.
Stage
two,
Urban
- During the 30,000 years of the agricultural, urban revolution, "modern
man" added cultural and material technology in a more conscious way. Writing,
coins, kings and priests, raised the level of awareness to the human potential
beyond the tribal "self".
The education of leaders was "in the world, but
not of the world", so they could see beyond the limits of their own culture.
It is always a mistake to believe in your own propaganda - divine kings
have to know the reality of their divinity or they become crazy, and can
not tell the map from the territory - what is "real" and what is popular
illusion. Who is the real wizard of OZ, because the wizard must knows he
is not the mighty OZ, but only some one who controls the leavers.
Stage
three,
from
the renaissance on, the growing hubris, arrogant, and pride that man was
the measure of all things and was not limited by god, nature, culture and
tradition.
The result was the vast expansion of European power, capitalism,
bureaucracy, democracy, the rebellion of the American Colonies, the French
Revolution, Marxism, Fascist, and evangelical religion ( a direct contact
with a personal god ).
The biological limits were pushed but not repealed.
It was not nice to mess with "Mother" nature.
The war gods, aggressive,
and pushy won a temporary spurious victory. Dr. Faustus made his deal with
the devil.
Stage
four
the
firstand second industrial revolutions through electic and chemical stages,
money and banking, insurance, corporations, income taxes, social security,
and the whole complex of cultural and material artifacts of the modern
world. ( You can see how complex this social web is from the experience
of the USS-was, without real commercial law, banks, property, insurance,
et al. Big was better, god was on the side of the best armed and trained
regiments. Our mind-sets, models, assumptions, institutions all come from
the industrial age.
Stage
Five,
The biological
tradition relates to all life, and connects the individual and society
to universals. This is the
COVENANT
.
*When you break the covenant between the society or individual and "mother"
nature, the law falls away and all hell breaks loose - said the prophet.
The
loss of faith in the traditional authority and belief structure is what
happened to the Seneca ( Tony Wallace ) - then the white buffalo and dooms
day cults - Buchanan, Evangelist, Flat taxers and White racist, the mad
search for biological roots in the dream time, when the tradition no longer
"works", and authority fails. If we are post industrial, post civilization
- then what ?
My
vision is not hopeful.. islands (with walls and gates) of electronic connections
- artificial intelligence without the feel of blood, of breath, of heat
or cold, of love or hate, of dreams or passions, unconnected to the billions
of years of creation, not really knowing their clan territory, having no
sense of place, no roots.
Who are you
?
You
are slim mold, fish, plants, the ocean in the living blood. We need a new
tribalism to balance the abstraction * the BS, the commercial amoral technology...We
need a Handsome Lake, with a vision. (See the Last Wave of Peter Weir's
A wonderful film )
RE:
The Vision Thing:<
People
keep asking: What is going on here. First
I have no fixed doctrine, or even clear goals. If you benefit from what
I have done then I have done something, I can be pleased.
Otherwise it is sound and fury meaning nothing - If you can help by letting
me know what is useful then you will help yourself and others who visit
in the future. Maybe this is a new form of literature, a new form of communications,
a new form of knowing, a new form of teaching and learning, maybe it's
a new life form that takes shape as it evolves, maybe it's trash, maybe
it's wisdom, maybe it's hope, maybe it's hopeless ?
Maybe it's my EGO blast, maybe its beyond or above or into or out of my
mind, wise fool or foolish ? A GURU I am not! It is a new world order that
does not fit the internalized models and assumptions of the industrial
empire. It's radical, flexible, profound, difficult, and complexity human.
It starts with a vision, a non-verbal knowing of non-self, existence and
reality beyond self.
The fourth force comes from awareness of the "roundness"
of reality.
The three classical attitudes are:
THE
MONK,
control
of passions or ID,
THE
YOGI,
THE
BODY-MIND

THE
NERD LOCATION
"New Age",
Humanistic psychology, trans-personal, ecological, motivational "positive
thinking", peak performance, which are all aspects of the same elephant.
In
Fritz
Perls terms:
Chicken
dropping
Cow
dropping (BS) -
showing
off, undergraduate discussions, politics * pretence and role playing..
Elephant
dropping
profound
but empty, false talk, the news, politics and hollow religion - profound
pretenses -
The
State
of the Union
The
ancient Sufi tale of the elephant in the dark (or blind men and the elephant)
is about people's limits of awareness. Everyone perceives and different
aspect of "reality" and then argues with others who have grasped a different
piece. Higher awareness requires an altered states of consciousness.
THE
WAY YOU SEE THE PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM
Another
tale is the
lion in the pit told
in books by Idries Shah Tales of the Dervishes, Sufi teaching stories
and in the Sufis.
You
try to show the lion the way of escape but he doesn't perceive the nature
of his condition and situation. He eats the people that come to help him.
People do not take kindly to enlightment.
There
is no good deed that goes unpunished.
There
is an integration of modern physics, medicine, psychology, philosophy,
and ancient ways of knowing.
The
vision comes from Handsome Lake, the
Tony
Wallace "
The Death and Rebirth of the Seneca"
The covenant has been
broken - society, the traditional ways of knowing, authority has been lost.
Things are coming apart and people don't seem to know "what is going on".
Stages:
The Spectrum of Consciousness:
ONE
TWO:
(Infant
Awareness) Thinking in words and /images, focused impulses and emotions:
Ages one to three.
THREE:<
(Elementary
Symbolic Awareness)
The unique nature of humans is advanced symbol identification
and naming in context of a social language: (ages three to six)
FOUR:
(Junior
Role Awareness) Construction of "rules", Roles, Acting the part, Pretense,
the BLUE water stage, construction of the "life Rafts", defenses, body
amour, and habits "which start as fine as spider's webs but with practice
become heavy chains, iron cables which define the limits of our being,"
these chains were constructed in the "industrial age".
The "information
age" requires breaking the habits of mass production, top down, bureaucratic
consciousness, inside and outside.
FIVE:
(
High School, apprenticeship, emotional/rational awareness ) Introspection,
deductive reasoning, and social acceptable behavior ( by peer groups and
commercial interests ).
The YELLOW earth stage of rationalization, projections,
transference, dogma, beliefs, superstitions, fancies: based on passions,
wants, needs, desires, EGO gratification. Society demands this level of
development but no more, there are social pressures to keep the "masses"
as factory workers and not move their awareness beyond this norm. to wake
up the people to "what is really going on" is a subversive activity.
SIX:
(
EDUCATED: http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/JOURneyman,
The Liberal Arts,
wake-up) Traditionally reserved for the "ruling class", Humanities, More
integrated thinking, a wider prospective, the greater good, synthesis,
connections, relationships, were necessary for leadership, maybe even some
body-mind awareness. Poetry, the visual arts, music, dance, philosophy,
modern science and math, open the doors of perception beyond the limits
of "home town" culture.
The RED Zone, because the dangers and fear of freedom,
most people do now have the security to feel comfortable with open horizons
and new ideas, cultures, changes, possibilities.
SEVEN:
(
MASTERS Craftsmen Level, KNOWLEDGEABLE, understanding, pay attention:)
almost wise, profound: Some are born to independence, some achieve independence,
some have independence thrust upon them).
The BROWN Ground is the deep
down sense of being OK, self actualization.
The "feeling" not a thought
that you can trust and believe in yourself, you are the perfect creation
of a loving G- D, you are not the reflection in others eyes and DEPENDENT
on others reactions, but have gained freedom to respond by your free choice.
Knowledge is the connection between thinking and doing, information plus
understanding of what is really going on beyond the information given.
EIGHT:<
Doctor's
level - (In the old crafts guild sense not our corrupted educational certificates)
Psychic, mystic, awareness of spirits, ghosts, mysteries, demons, love,
hate, body-mind connections - NOT independent of ego, or information, knowledge,
experience, common sense, but an expansion.
There are a lot of "fakes",
wizards, con-artist, crazies, who sell short cuts to "wisdom", faith, trans-personal
spiritual, transforming experience, BUT...BUT... BUT...
Level
nine and ten
The concept is mostly expressed in the heavenly music
of the spheres, the sweet harmony of the universe, the poetry of the soul;
" we are the stuff of which stars and dreams are made", - a mystery in
a puzzle in an enigma - and feel comfortable with different ways of knowing
and not knowing.
The many "selves" become integrated not overwhelmed or
destroyed, the repertoire becomes wider - Rumi, Mozart, Franklin, FD Roosevelt,

Dear Peter, YOU SAID: "Project Appleseed, the national campaign for public
school improvement is putting together a web site featuring information
about parental involvement in education. We are looking for suggestions
about what you would like to see on this site and links you believe are
helpful."could you tell me the web address? Thank you.Tina Bell tdbell@ctc.csustan.eduPeter,
Have you thought about the decimal system?It is essentially the outline
form of organizing essays you probably learned in school but instead of
using a mixed bag of indices (Roman numerals, capital letters, small letters,
numbers, etc) you simply use a decimal system. IBM is probably the most
famous organization to completely adopt the system.1. /documents/pathos/
1.1 General features of this category1.2 http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/pathos/
in everyday life1.2.1
The psychology of everyday life1.2.2
The psychology
of transformative life ...2. Ethos ...etc. I think the best feature of
this approach is its openness: categories can be added at any level, at
any time, using a completely logical extention of the system in use. A
close second is the intuitive character of the system: knowing little about
it, most people working with such material can usually find their way through
the maze quite easily.IMPORTANT: take the time to give some thought to
those "highest level" categories in the system.
They cannot easily be subsumed
under still higher-level categories: all other numbers then have to change
- just the kind of thing one would like to avoid with a good filing system.Ross
powell@direct.ca between the mountains and the sea...
OK, I tried
to being some order into the files. I created
(for
those interested in using the system and current and future students)I
created

the conditions for learning sometimes called teaching using points,
portfolios, /DOCUMENTS/journals and outlines of classes - Internet 101,

ancient professions -
There is internet.htm for the

about servers and web pages, html and web pages, and other newbie information
- we are all newbies in the new world order
There is announce.htm for

and nation Maybe I will replace the Doc1 etc with these files - but when
I did I didn't like the results - Peter - files ? Setting up that many
/directories won't work - maybe a label or index that links - a lot of
work and time and I don't have it - I need help. I thought of some sort
of synergy $$$ (points) that could be earned by doing this kind of stuff

Peter Pflaum Subject: Re: Basic human character Peter, Have you read
The
Universe Story, by Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry?
Also, Swimme has
a video series called Canticle to the Cosmos - any one of the 12 will give
you a good feel for his work.
The central idea is that humans need a "creation
story" - a new cosmology, that post-Einsteinian, post Heisenberg science
can now provide - in order to reconnect with nature on a sacred level and
release the energy that we need to evolve to the next stage.
They see us
having to choose between an ecozoic era or a technozoic era - the former
based on new cosmology/deep ecology and the latter that continues our erroneous
view that we are
out
side nature and can continue exploiting the world's resources for our
exclusive benefit.Anyway - highly recommended stuff. A quantum leap beyond
the fine work done by
Capra

The
demons are not so easily appeased and driven off -
There seems to be no
quick fix.
There is a long history of "positive self image" from Dale Carnegie,
to Steven Covey,
Mihaly
Csikszentmihalyi, Wayne Dyer, Norman Vincent Peel to Nightingale,
Den
nis Waitley, Bishop Sheen.
William
Glasser "
Control
Theory and Reality
Therapy
" suggests that:If you keep doing what you
doYou keep getting what you getand if you don't know where you are going
you end up somewhere else
The
art of government has the same root in semantics as cybernetics (
Dr.
Norbert Wiener 1948 ) in the concept of the steersman on the ship of
state - guidance of the Polis to safe harbor.
The internal control system
either can be on auto pilot or under conscious control and direction. How
much can training and education, positive /images and experiences replace
infant programming ? So how much control do we have ? Are we responsible
* control our ability to respond ? Do we really have choices ? Things -
institutions, politics, communities, values, families, business, money,
congress are "out of their minds" , living in a dream world, walking in
their sleep ? ( Or is it just my over active imagination
Bio-politics,
education and the Chemical-behavioral paradigm: Domination and Liberation.
It
is good practice to design organizational, political, educational, training,
and commercial activity with knowledge of the "newest" findings of social
psychology, and the most "ancient" methods of character development. In
times of change, it become necessary to think of ways to promote "reprogrammed"
individuals and systems. We are in the area of great change as we move
from industrial models of domination to information systems and cooperation.
Fundamental change is not so simple and the evolution of culture has never
been so fast. We need new techniques to deal we this kind of challenge.
There is no solution "inside the box", we have to look beyond our culturally
defined ruts. (SEE Bernie Siegel, Deepak Chopra, Ernest Rossi, Carl Simonton
and others
on Consciousness,
Awareness, and Mind-Body Healing by Marcus S. Robinson, D.C.H.
Candace
Pert, interviewed in Bill Moyers' "Healing and the Mind" (Doubleday 1995
based on the PBS series) was Chief of Brain Bio- chemistry at the NIH.
She discovered new types of psychoactive drugs that are produced by the
brain, endorphins, which means "morphines from within", that are similar
to opiates taken as drugs.
The
physical matter changes with personality. It goes both ways. " the mind
is not just in the brain but is part of a communications network throughout
the brain and body. You can start to see how physiology can effect functioning
on a moment- to-moment, hour-by-hour, day-today basis, much more that we
give it credit for." If people live in an industrial, factory system, where
domination, power, and control are the commanding social conditions, they
become physically different from people who work and live in an information,
learning organization.
The workers of Detroit have different bio-chemical
systems than those of San Jose and the silicon valley. Different groups
of voters have different chemical reactions to the symbols, sights and
sounds of political messages.
As
a neuroscientist Dr. Pert was `secretly' interested in consciousness and
became aware that the immune system produces a number psychosomatic (psyche
= mind, soma = body ) chemical transmitters.
The internal information system
is a biochemical, electrical network.
The messenger peptides inform and
stimulate cells to produce or not produce proteins, divide or not divide,
and the direct the roles of different sub-systems in complex strategies
of growth, protection, and mood.
The fight-flight (stress response) is
only one of many sub-systems. (Herbert Benson)
Consciousness
involves every cell of the body.
Try to get
your "mind" around this concept. Thinking and awareness is NOT a computer
chip but a chemical soup, dynamic interactions on bio-chemical networks,
not programmed but conditioned by genes and the physical, social environment.
Genetic context is interactive with `ecological' emotional and social states.
Neuro-peptides and their receptors are emotions.
This
new science opens doors to "body knowledge", intuition, and the deep programming
of socialization. Television and diet impact who we are. Commercials, sex
and violence, effect mood by way of organic chemistry. Bio-politics speaks
to the production of Neuro-transmitters.
The
peptides are the material manifestation of the psyche and the "soul". Anger,
love, fear, awe, depression, joy, are physical and material body reactions.
Actors that play happy people have different blood chemistry from actors
that play angry people. Thinking makes it happen, body chemistry effects
our thinking. Psychol-therapy, or traditional education maybe able to change
our patterns of thought to produce new chemical balances, but its very
difficult and unlikely. But if drugs can change the chemistry - bingo our
own attitude changes.
"People
with multiple personalities sometimes have extremely clear physical symptoms
that vary with each personality. One personality can be allergic to cats
while another is not. One personality can be diabetic and another is not."
Neuro-peptides
are the biochemical units of emotion. Emotions almost always set the context
for behavior. Perhaps, industrial and social training need to take place
with sets of conditions that produce the responses needed. Construction,
decoration and graphics, sights and sounds, diet, motion, all can contribute.
Maybe also "soma", drugs that produce a sense of security, well- being
and hope.
This is the base of our Sufi program.
The
old systems of power and top-down authority (Male domination systems) have
become more and more dysfunctional. Public schools are the great hold-outs
of "communist", state bureaucracies that ignore market forces. IBM, GM,
and the other industrial giants are making way for smaller, faster, more
flexible cooperative systems of enterprise.
The US congress with it's domination
by old men, committee chairmen, no longer works. Big "communications" mega-media
is coming apart at the edges.
?)TOO
BIG - TOO MUCH CHANGE - TOO FAST and there is nothing we can do about it
! We can never understand the relationship between ourselves and the universals
?
There are many simple actions that will make our lives and our schools,
or families, or communities, or nation better but be are frozen - unable
to move -First we need the sense to make sense - the freedom to make choices
- I have said for years - first you need a system capable of reform - then
reform will happen. Public Education as now structured so as to be incapable
of reform, so is the national political process, so are most of us.
RE:
The fifth
wave of MONEY and Business and Education and Politics: A new discipline
FIRST:
The new conceptual framework or paradigm: We have to
wake-up,
get in touch, with "
The dreamtime" -
The myths, traditions, customs, laws,
that define "who are you" - and create the law - customs that define us
as social (civilized) humans * the Way of the First Self (of many selves)
is Tribal.
The economies use barter - up and down - one dimension. (
The
Last Wave of Peter Wier)
SECOND WRITING, GOLD and silver coins - right and left, two dimensions:
Civilization is an abstraction - the common illusions of belief systems
of Church and State - Kings and priests.."
The ancient regime" *
The modern
world is a reaction to the "caste" system * demands some freedom of choice
- THIRD PRINTING, Banks and corporations,
The Dutch about the 15th Century,
in and out - third dimension - private enterprise - Freemasons and clock
works as a model of the universe, solid state physics -
The rational modern
world rejected the old order and almost all the "spirit" and "body knowledge"
and got itself into a value free science - What ever worked ? Logic positivism
? Good grief - clearly going too far - FOURTH Electric phones, Radio, TV,
telex, made possible Central Banks, modern money and banking, rediscounting
and the multiplier effect. (19th Century) Time is the fourth dimension.
The electrical, chemical, mass production systems - mass production factories
and scientific management * Where our minds are formed and institutions
are set in their ruts.. Institutions take on their own culture -
The sum
becomes more than the parts -
The Man in the Grey Business Suit - Blue
Shirt IBM - Where is the freedom of choice ? Where are the values that
make for honest human relationships and real quality ? Deming and Dewey
knew the human pain and suffering cause the loss of connections between
thinking and doing: the is the "new" old order.
FIFTH,
The fifth dimension, or fifth
discipline is about wholes - the sum being more than the parts -
RE: Bio-culture
Stage
One:
Tribal,
The bushmen and Australian aborigines
are examples where the body-mind, body-mind transmitters, the immune system,
and the organization of the uncommitted cortex become synergist with the
tribal customs, beliefs, traditions, that make up tribal "law". While we
are all the product of our culture, the biological base is little understood.
As Ed Wilson's called it "the groves" or patterns of or body-mind, genealogy,
chemistry are social and cultural. That is the nature of man.
Stage
two,
Urban
- During the 30,000 years of the agricultural, urban revolution, "modern
man" added cultural and material technology in a more conscious way. Writing,
coins, kings and priests, raised the level of awareness to the human potential
beyond the tribal "self".
The education of leaders was "in the world, but
not of the world", so they could see beyond the limits of their own culture.
It is always a mistake to believe in your own propaganda - divine kings
have to know the reality of their divinity or they become crazy, and can
not tell the map from the territory - what is "real" and what is popular
illusion. Who is the real wizard of OZ, because the wizard must knows he
is not the mighty OZ, but only some one who controls the leavers.
Stage
three,
from
the renaissance on, the growing hubris, arrogant, and pride that man was
the measure of all things and was not limited by god, nature, culture and
tradition.
The result was the vast expansion of European power, capitalism,
bureaucracy, democracy, the rebellion of the American Colonies, the French
Revolution, Marxism, Fascist, and evangelical religion ( a direct contact
with a personal god ).
The biological limits were pushed but not repealed.
It was not nice to mess with "Mother" nature.
The war gods, aggressive,
and pushy won a temporary spurious victory. Dr. Faustus made his deal with
the devil.
Stage
four
the
firstand second industrial revolutions through electic and chemical stages,
money and banking, insurance, corporations, income taxes, social security,
and the whole complex of cultural and material artifacts of the modern
world. ( You can see how complex this social web is from the experience
of the USS-was, without real commercial law, banks, property, insurance,
et al. Big was better, god was on the side of the best armed and trained
regiments. Our mind-sets, models, assumptions, institutions all come from
the industrial age.
Stage
Five,
The biological
tradition relates to all life, and connects the individual and society
to universals. This is the
COVENANT
.
*When you break the covenant between the society or individual and "mother"
nature, the law falls away and all hell breaks loose - said the prophet.
The
loss of faith in the traditional authority and belief structure is what
happened to the Seneca ( Tony Wallace ) - then the white buffalo and dooms
day cults - Buchanan, Evangelist, Flat taxers and White racist, the mad
search for biological roots in the dream time, when the tradition no longer
"works", and authority fails. If we are post industrial, post civilization
- then what ?
My
vision is not hopeful.. islands (with walls and gates) of electronic connections
- artificial intelligence without the feel of blood, of breath, of heat
or cold, of love or hate, of dreams or passions, unconnected to the billions
of years of creation, not really knowing their clan territory, having no
sense of place, no roots.
Who are you
?
You
are slim mold, fish, plants, the ocean in the living blood. We need a new
tribalism to balance the abstraction * the BS, the commercial amoral technology...We
need a Handsome Lake, with a vision. (See the Last Wave of Peter Weir's
A wonderful film )
RE:
The Vision Thing:<
People
keep asking: What is going on here. First
I have no fixed doctrine, or even clear goals. If you benefit from what
I have done then I have done something, I can be pleased.
Otherwise it is sound and fury meaning nothing - If you can help by letting
me know what is useful then you will help yourself and others who visit
in the future. Maybe this is a new form of literature, a new form of communications,
a new form of knowing, a new form of teaching and learning, maybe it's
a new life form that takes shape as it evolves, maybe it's trash, maybe
it's wisdom, maybe it's hope, maybe it's hopeless ?
Maybe it's my EGO blast, maybe its beyond or above or into or out of my
mind, wise fool or foolish ? A GURU I am not! It is a new world order that
does not fit the internalized models and assumptions of the industrial
empire. It's radical, flexible, profound, difficult, and complexity human.
It starts with a vision, a non-verbal knowing of non-self, existence and
reality beyond self.
The fourth force comes from awareness of the "roundness"
of reality.
The three classical attitudes are:
THE
MONK,
control
of passions or ID,
THE
YOGI,
THE
BODY-MIND

THE
NERD LOCATION
"New Age",
Humanistic psychology, trans-personal, ecological, motivational "positive
thinking", peak performance, which are all aspects of the same elephant.
In
Fritz
Perls terms:
Chicken
dropping
Cow
dropping (BS) -
showing
off, undergraduate discussions, politics * pretence and role playing..
Elephant
dropping
profound
but empty, false talk, the news, politics and hollow religion - profound
pretenses -
The
State
of the Union
The
ancient Sufi tale of the elephant in the dark (or blind men and the elephant)
is about people's limits of awareness. Everyone perceives and different
aspect of "reality" and then argues with others who have grasped a different
piece. Higher awareness requires an altered states of consciousness.
THE
WAY YOU SEE THE PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM
Another
tale is the
lion in the pit told
in books by Idries Shah Tales of the Dervishes, Sufi teaching stories
and in the Sufis.
You
try to show the lion the way of escape but he doesn't perceive the nature
of his condition and situation. He eats the people that come to help him.
People do not take kindly to enlightment.
There
is no good deed that goes unpunished.
There
is an integration of modern physics, medicine, psychology, philosophy,
and ancient ways of knowing.
The
vision comes from Handsome Lake, the
Tony
Wallace "
The Death and Rebirth of the Seneca"
The covenant has been
broken - society, the traditional ways of knowing, authority has been lost.
Things are coming apart and people don't seem to know "what is going on".
Stages:
The Spectrum of Consciousness:
ONE
TWO:
(Infant
Awareness) Thinking in words and /images, focused impulses and emotions:
Ages one to three.
THREE:<
(Elementary
Symbolic Awareness)
The unique nature of humans is advanced symbol identification
and naming in context of a social language: (ages three to six)
FOUR:
(Junior
Role Awareness) Construction of "rules", Roles, Acting the part, Pretense,
the BLUE water stage, construction of the "life Rafts", defenses, body
amour, and habits "which start as fine as spider's webs but with practice
become heavy chains, iron cables which define the limits of our being,"
these chains were constructed in the "industrial age".
The "information
age" requires breaking the habits of mass production, top down, bureaucratic
consciousness, inside and outside.
FIVE:
(
High School, apprenticeship, emotional/rational awareness ) Introspection,
deductive reasoning, and social acceptable behavior ( by peer groups and
commercial interests ).
The YELLOW earth stage of rationalization, projections,
transference, dogma, beliefs, superstitions, fancies: based on passions,
wants, needs, desires, EGO gratification. Society demands this level of
development but no more, there are social pressures to keep the "masses"
as factory workers and not move their awareness beyond this norm. to wake
up the people to "what is really going on" is a subversive activity.
SIX:
(
EDUCATED: http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/JOURneyman,
The Liberal Arts,
wake-up) Traditionally reserved for the "ruling class", Humanities, More
integrated thinking, a wider prospective, the greater good, synthesis,
connections, relationships, were necessary for leadership, maybe even some
body-mind awareness. Poetry, the visual arts, music, dance, philosophy,
modern science and math, open the doors of perception beyond the limits
of "home town" culture.
The RED Zone, because the dangers and fear of freedom,
most people do now have the security to feel comfortable with open horizons
and new ideas, cultures, changes, possibilities.
SEVEN:
(
MASTERS Craftsmen Level, KNOWLEDGEABLE, understanding, pay attention:)
almost wise, profound: Some are born to independence, some achieve independence,
some have independence thrust upon them).
The BROWN Ground is the deep
down sense of being OK, self actualization.
The "feeling" not a thought
that you can trust and believe in yourself, you are the perfect creation
of a loving G- D, you are not the reflection in others eyes and DEPENDENT
on others reactions, but have gained freedom to respond by your free choice.
Knowledge is the connection between thinking and doing, information plus
understanding of what is really going on beyond the information given.
EIGHT:<
Doctor's
level - (In the old crafts guild sense not our corrupted educational certificates)
Psychic, mystic, awareness of spirits, ghosts, mysteries, demons, love,
hate, body-mind connections - NOT independent of ego, or information, knowledge,
experience, common sense, but an expansion.
There are a lot of "fakes",
wizards, con-artist, crazies, who sell short cuts to "wisdom", faith, trans-personal
spiritual, transforming experience, BUT...BUT... BUT...
Level
nine and ten
The concept is mostly expressed in the heavenly music
of the spheres, the sweet harmony of the universe, the poetry of the soul;
" we are the stuff of which stars and dreams are made", - a mystery in
a puzzle in an enigma - and feel comfortable with different ways of knowing
and not knowing.
The many "selves" become integrated not overwhelmed or
destroyed, the repertoire becomes wider - Rumi, Mozart, Franklin, FD Roosevelt,
( all freemasons) and in our day: Herbert Benson, Joseph Campbell. et al

Dear Peter, YOU SAID: "Project Appleseed, the national campaign for public
school improvement is putting together a web site featuring information
about parental involvement in education. We are looking for suggestions
about what you would like to see on this site and links you believe are
helpful."could you tell me the web address? Thank you.Tina Bell tdbell@ctc.csustan.eduPeter,
Have you thought about the decimal system?It is essentially the outline
form of organizing essays you probably learned in school but instead of
using a mixed bag of indices (Roman numerals, capital letters, small letters,
numbers, etc) you simply use a decimal system. IBM is probably the most
famous organization to completely adopt the system.1. /documents/pathos/
1.1 General features of this category1.2 http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/pathos/
in everyday life1.2.1
The psychology of everyday life1.2.2
The psychology
of transformative life ...2. Ethos ...etc. I think the best feature of
this approach is its openness: categories can be added at any level, at
any time, using a completely logical extention of the system in use. A
close second is the intuitive character of the system: knowing little about
it, most people working with such material can usually find their way through
the maze quite easily.IMPORTANT: take the time to give some thought to
those "highest level" categories in the system.
They cannot easily be subsumed
under still higher-level categories: all other numbers then have to change
- just the kind of thing one would like to avoid with a good filing system.Ross
powell@direct.ca between the mountains and the sea...
OK, I tried
to being some order into the files. I created
(for
those interested in using the system and current and future students)I
created
class.htm for the structure of my creating
the conditions for learning sometimes called teaching using points,
portfolios, /DOCUMENTS/journals and outlines of classes - Internet 101,
Applied Human Relations, Sociology and Government.I created
for
views on the MOST ancient profession with connections to the other
ancient professions -
There is internet.htm for the
information
about
The market and applications
, for
information
about servers and web pages, html and web pages, and other newbie information
- we are all newbies in the new world order
There is announce.htm for
offers
of services and general discussionPolicy.htm is the general stuff on
public affairs and the state of the world
and nation Maybe I will replace the Doc1 etc with these files - but when
I did I didn't like the results - Peter - files ? Setting up that many
/directories won't work - maybe a label or index that links - a lot of
work and time and I don't have it - I need help. I thought of some sort
of synergy $$$ (points) that could be earned by doing this kind of stuff
- Work study - $$$ good for web space, and my services in traffic generation.

Peter Pflaum Subject: Re: Basic human character Peter, Have you read
The
Universe Story, by Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry?
Also, Swimme has
a video series called Canticle to the Cosmos - any one of the 12 will give
you a good feel for his work.
The central idea is that humans need a "creation
story" - a new cosmology, that post-Einsteinian, post Heisenberg science
can now provide - in order to reconnect with nature on a sacred level and
release the energy that we need to evolve to the next stage.
They see us
having to choose between an ecozoic era or a technozoic era - the former
based on new cosmology/deep ecology and the latter that continues our erroneous
view that we are
out
side nature and can continue exploiting the world's resources for our
exclusive benefit.Anyway - highly recommended stuff. A quantum leap beyond
the fine work done by
Capra
, for example. Nothing against
Fritjof

The
art of government has the same root in semantics as cybernetics (
Dr.
Norbert Wiener 1948 ) in the concept of the steersman on the ship of
state - guidance of the Polis to safe harbor.
The internal control system
either can be on auto pilot or under conscious control and direction. How
much can training and education, positive /images and experiences replace
infant programming ? So how much control do we have ? Are we responsible
* control our ability to respond ? Do we really have choices ? Things -
institutions, politics, communities, values, families, business, money,
congress are "out of their minds" , living in a dream world, walking in
their sleep ? ( Or is it just my over active imagination

Bio-politics,
education and the Chemical-behavioral paradigm: Domination and Liberation.
It
is good practice to design organizational, political, educational, training,
and commercial activity with knowledge of the "newest" findings of social
psychology, and the most "ancient" methods of character development. In
times of change, it become necessary to think of ways to promote "reprogrammed"
individuals and systems. We are in the area of great change as we move
from industrial models of domination to information systems and cooperation.
Fundamental change is not so simple and the evolution of culture has never
been so fast. We need new techniques to deal we this kind of challenge.
There is no solution "inside the box", we have to look beyond our culturally
defined ruts. (SEE Bernie Siegel, Deepak Chopra, Ernest Rossi, Carl Simonton
and others
on Consciousness,
Awareness, and Mind-Body Healing by Marcus S. Robinson, D.C.H.
Candace
Pert, interviewed in Bill Moyers' "Healing and the Mind" (Doubleday 1995
based on the PBS series) was Chief of Brain Bio- chemistry at the NIH.
She discovered new types of psychoactive drugs that are produced by the
brain, endorphins, which means "morphines from within", that are similar
to opiates taken as drugs.
The
physical matter changes with personality. It goes both ways. " the mind
is not just in the brain but is part of a communications network throughout
the brain and body. You can start to see how physiology can effect functioning
on a moment- to-moment, hour-by-hour, day-today basis, much more that we
give it credit for." If people live in an industrial, factory system, where
domination, power, and control are the commanding social conditions, they
become physically different from people who work and live in an information,
learning organization.
The workers of Detroit have different bio-chemical
systems than those of San Jose and the silicon valley. Different groups
of voters have different chemical reactions to the symbols, sights and
sounds of political messages.
As
a neuroscientist Dr. Pert was `secretly' interested in consciousness and
became aware that the immune system produces a number psychosomatic (psyche
= mind, soma = body ) chemical transmitters.
The internal information system
is a biochemical, electrical network.
The messenger peptides inform and
stimulate cells to produce or not produce proteins, divide or not divide,
and the direct the roles of different sub-systems in complex strategies
of growth, protection, and mood.
The fight-flight (stress response) is
only one of many sub-systems. (Herbert Benson)
Consciousness
involves every cell of the body.
Try to get
your "mind" around this concept. Thinking and awareness is NOT a computer
chip but a chemical soup, dynamic interactions on bio-chemical networks,
not programmed but conditioned by genes and the physical, social environment.
Genetic context is interactive with `ecological' emotional and social states.
Neuro-peptides and their receptors are emotions.
There is no solution "inside the box", we have to look beyond our culturally
defined ruts. (SEE Bernie Siegel, Deepak Chopra, Ernest Rossi, Carl Simonton

Consciousness

This
new science opens doors to "body knowledge", intuition, and the deep programming
of socialization. Television and diet impact who we are. Commercials, sex
and violence, effect mood by way of organic chemistry. Bio-politics speaks
to the production of Neuro-transmitters.
The
peptides are the material manifestation of the psyche and the "soul". Anger,
love, fear, awe, depression, joy, are physical and material body reactions.
Actors that play happy people have different blood chemistry from actors
that play angry people. Thinking makes it happen, body chemistry effects
our thinking. Psychol-therapy, or traditional education maybe able to change
our patterns of thought to produce new chemical balances, but its very
difficult and unlikely. But if drugs can change the chemistry - bingo our
own attitude changes.
"People
with multiple personalities sometimes have extremely clear physical symptoms
that vary with each personality. One personality can be allergic to cats
while another is not. One personality can be diabetic and another is not."
Neuro-peptides
are the biochemical units of emotion. Emotions almost always set the context
for behavior. Perhaps, industrial and social training need to take place
with sets of conditions that produce the responses needed. Construction,
decoration and graphics, sights and sounds, diet, motion, all can contribute.
Maybe also "soma", drugs that produce a sense of security, well- being
and hope.
This is the base of our Sufi program.
The
old systems of power and top-down authority (Male domination systems) have
become more and more dysfunctional. Public schools are the great hold-outs
of "communist", state bureaucracies that ignore market forces. IBM, GM,
and the other industrial giants are making way for smaller, faster, more
flexible cooperative systems of enterprise.
The US congress with it's domination
by old men, committee chairmen, no longer works. Big "communications" mega-media
is coming apart at the edges.
?)TOO
BIG - TOO MUCH CHANGE - TOO FAST and there is nothing we can do about it
! We can never understand the relationship between ourselves and the universals
?
There are many simple actions that will make our lives and our schools,
or families, or communities, or nation better but be are frozen - unable
to move -First we need the sense to make sense - the freedom to make choices
- I have said for years - first you need a system capable of reform - then
reform will happen. Public Education as now structured so as to be incapable
of reform, so is the national political process, so are most of us.
RE:
The fifth
wave of MONEY and Business and Education and Politics: A new discipline
FIRST:
The new conceptual framework or paradigm: We have to
wake-up,
get in touch, with "
The dreamtime" -
The myths, traditions, customs, laws,
that define "who are you" - and create the law - customs that define us
as social (civilized) humans * the Way of the First Self (of many selves)
is Tribal.
The economies use barter - up and down - one dimension. (
The
Last Wave of Peter Wier)
SECOND WRITING, GOLD and silver coins - right and left, two dimensions:
Civilization is an abstraction - the common illusions of belief systems
of Church and State - Kings and priests.."
The ancient regime" *
The modern
world is a reaction to the "caste" system * demands some freedom of choice
- THIRD PRINTING, Banks and corporations,
The Dutch about the 15th Century,
in and out - third dimension - private enterprise - Freemasons and clock
works as a model of the universe, solid state physics -
The rational modern
world rejected the old order and almost all the "spirit" and "body knowledge"
and got itself into a value free science - What ever worked ? Logic positivism
? Good grief - clearly going too far - FOURTH Electric phones, Radio, TV,
telex, made possible Central Banks, modern money and banking, rediscounting
and the multiplier effect. (19th Century) Time is the fourth dimension.
The electrical, chemical, mass production systems - mass production factories
and scientific management * Where our minds are formed and institutions
are set in their ruts.. Institutions take on their own culture -
The sum
becomes more than the parts -
The Man in the Grey Business Suit - Blue
Shirt IBM - Where is the freedom of choice ? Where are the values that
make for honest human relationships and real quality ? Deming and Dewey
knew the human pain and suffering cause the loss of connections between
thinking and doing: the is the "new" old order.
FIFTH,
The fifth dimension, or fifth
discipline is about wholes - the sum being more than the parts -
RE: Bio-culture
Stage
One:
Tribal,
The bushmen and Australian aborigines
are examples where the body-mind, body-mind transmitters, the immune system,
and the organization of the uncommitted cortex become synergist with the
tribal customs, beliefs, traditions, that make up tribal "law". While we
are all the product of our culture, the biological base is little understood.
As Ed Wilson's called it "the groves" or patterns of or body-mind, genealogy,
chemistry are social and cultural. That is the nature of man.
Stage
two,
Urban
- During the 30,000 years of the agricultural, urban revolution, "modern
man" added cultural and material technology in a more conscious way. Writing,
coins, kings and priests, raised the level of awareness to the human potential
beyond the tribal "self".
The education of leaders was "in the world, but
not of the world", so they could see beyond the limits of their own culture.
It is always a mistake to believe in your own propaganda - divine kings
have to know the reality of their divinity or they become crazy, and can
not tell the map from the territory - what is "real" and what is popular
illusion. Who is the real wizard of OZ, because the wizard must knows he
is not the mighty OZ, but only some one who controls the leavers.
Stage
three,
from
the renaissance on, the growing hubris, arrogant, and pride that man was
the measure of all things and was not limited by god, nature, culture and
tradition.
The result was the vast expansion of European power, capitalism,
bureaucracy, democracy, the rebellion of the American Colonies, the French
Revolution, Marxism, Fascist, and evangelical religion ( a direct contact
with a personal god ).
The biological limits were pushed but not repealed.
It was not nice to mess with "Mother" nature.
The war gods, aggressive,
and pushy won a temporary spurious victory. Dr. Faustus made his deal with
the devil.
Stage
four
the
firstand second industrial revolutions through electic and chemical stages,
money and banking, insurance, corporations, income taxes, social security,
and the whole complex of cultural and material artifacts of the modern
world. ( You can see how complex this social web is from the experience
of the USS-was, without real commercial law, banks, property, insurance,
et al. Big was better, god was on the side of the best armed and trained
regiments. Our mind-sets, models, assumptions, institutions all come from
the industrial age.
Stage
Five,
The biological
tradition relates to all life, and connects the individual and society
to universals. This is the
COVENANT
.
*When you break the covenant between the society or individual and "mother"
nature, the law falls away and all hell breaks loose - said the prophet.
The
loss of faith in the traditional authority and belief structure is what
happened to the Seneca ( Tony Wallace ) - then the white buffalo and dooms
day cults - Buchanan, Evangelist, Flat taxers and White racist, the mad
search for biological roots in the dream time, when the tradition no longer
"works", and authority fails. If we are post industrial, post civilization
- then what ?
My
vision is not hopeful.. islands (with walls and gates) of electronic connections
- artificial intelligence without the feel of blood, of breath, of heat
or cold, of love or hate, of dreams or passions, unconnected to the billions
of years of creation, not really knowing their clan territory, having no
sense of place, no roots.
Who are you
?
You
are slim mold, fish, plants, the ocean in the living blood. We need a new
tribalism to balance the abstraction * the BS, the commercial amoral technology...We
need a Handsome Lake, with a vision. (See the Last Wave of Peter Weir's
A wonderful film )
RE:
The Vision Thing:<
People
keep asking: What is going on here. First
I have no fixed doctrine, or even clear goals. If you benefit from what
I have done then I have done something, I can be pleased.
Otherwise it is sound and fury meaning nothing - If you can help by letting
me know what is useful then you will help yourself and others who visit
in the future. Maybe this is a new form of literature, a new form of communications,
a new form of knowing, a new form of teaching and learning, maybe it's
a new life form that takes shape as it evolves, maybe it's trash, maybe
it's wisdom, maybe it's hope, maybe it's hopeless ?
Maybe it's my EGO blast, maybe its beyond or above or into or out of my
mind, wise fool or foolish ? A GURU I am not! It is a new world order that
does not fit the internalized models and assumptions of the industrial
empire. It's radical, flexible, profound, difficult, and complexity human.
It starts with a vision, a non-verbal knowing of non-self, existence and
reality beyond self.
The fourth force comes from awareness of the "roundness"
of reality.
The three classical attitudes are:
THE
MONK,
control
of passions or ID,
THE
YOGI,
THE
BODY-MIND

"New Age",
Humanistic psychology, trans-personal, ecological, motivational "positive
thinking", peak performance, which are all aspects of the same elephant.
In
Fritz
Perls terms:

Cow
dropping (BS) -
showing
off, undergraduate discussions, politics * pretence and role playing..
Elephant
dropping
profound
but empty, false talk, the news, politics and hollow religion - profound
pretenses -
The
State
of the Union
The
ancient Sufi tale of the elephant in the dark (or blind men and the elephant)
is about people's limits of awareness. Everyone perceives and different
aspect of "reality" and then argues with others who have grasped a different
piece. Higher awareness requires an altered states of consciousness.
THE
WAY YOU SEE THE PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM
Another
tale is the
lion in the pit told
in books by Idries Shah Tales of the Dervishes, Sufi teaching stories
and in the Sufis.
You
try to show the lion the way of escape but he doesn't perceive the nature
of his condition and situation. He eats the people that come to help him.
People do not take kindly to enlightment.
There
is no good deed that goes unpunished.
There
is an integration of modern physics, medicine, psychology, philosophy,
and ancient ways of knowing.
The
vision comes from Handsome Lake, the
Tony
Wallace "
The Death and Rebirth of the Seneca"
The covenant has been
broken - society, the traditional ways of knowing, authority has been lost.
Things are coming apart and people don't seem to know "what is going on".
Stages:
The Spectrum of Consciousness:
ONE
TWO:
(Infant
Awareness) Thinking in words and /images, focused impulses and emotions:
Ages one to three.
THREE:<
(Elementary
Symbolic Awareness)
The unique nature of humans is advanced symbol identification
and naming in context of a social language: (ages three to six)
FOUR:
(Junior
Role Awareness) Construction of "rules", Roles, Acting the part, Pretense,
the BLUE water stage, construction of the "life Rafts", defenses, body
amour, and habits "which start as fine as spider's webs but with practice
become heavy chains, iron cables which define the limits of our being,"
these chains were constructed in the "industrial age".
The "information
age" requires breaking the habits of mass production, top down, bureaucratic
consciousness, inside and outside.
FIVE:
(
High School, apprenticeship, emotional/rational awareness ) Introspection,
deductive reasoning, and social acceptable behavior ( by peer groups and
commercial interests ).
The YELLOW earth stage of rationalization, projections,
transference, dogma, beliefs, superstitions, fancies: based on passions,
wants, needs, desires, EGO gratification. Society demands this level of
development but no more, there are social pressures to keep the "masses"
as factory workers and not move their awareness beyond this norm. to wake
up the people to "what is really going on" is a subversive activity.
SIX:
(
EDUCATED: http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/JOURneyman,
The Liberal Arts,
wake-up) Traditionally reserved for the "ruling class", Humanities, More
integrated thinking, a wider prospective, the greater good, synthesis,
connections, relationships, were necessary for leadership, maybe even some
body-mind awareness. Poetry, the visual arts, music, dance, philosophy,
modern science and math, open the doors of perception beyond the limits
of "home town" culture.
The RED Zone, because the dangers and fear of freedom,
most people do now have the security to feel comfortable with open horizons
and new ideas, cultures, changes, possibilities.
SEVEN:
(
MASTERS Craftsmen Level, KNOWLEDGEABLE, understanding, pay attention:)
almost wise, profound: Some are born to independence, some achieve independence,
some have independence thrust upon them).
The BROWN Ground is the deep
down sense of being OK, self actualization.
The "feeling" not a thought
that you can trust and believe in yourself, you are the perfect creation
of a loving G- D, you are not the reflection in others eyes and DEPENDENT
on others reactions, but have gained freedom to respond by your free choice.
Knowledge is the connection between thinking and doing, information plus
understanding of what is really going on beyond the information given.
EIGHT:<
Doctor's
level - (In the old crafts guild sense not our corrupted educational certificates)
Psychic, mystic, awareness of spirits, ghosts, mysteries, demons, love,
hate, body-mind connections - NOT independent of ego, or information, knowledge,
experience, common sense, but an expansion.
There are a lot of "fakes",
wizards, con-artist, crazies, who sell short cuts to "wisdom", faith, trans-personal
spiritual, transforming experience, BUT...BUT... BUT...
Level
nine and ten
The concept is mostly expressed in the heavenly music
of the spheres, the sweet harmony of the universe, the poetry of the soul;
" we are the stuff of which stars and dreams are made", - a mystery in
a puzzle in an enigma - and feel comfortable with different ways of knowing
and not knowing.
The many "selves" become integrated not overwhelmed or
destroyed, the repertoire becomes wider - Rumi, Mozart, Franklin, FD Roosevelt,
( all freemasons) and in our day: Herbert Benson, Joseph Campbell. et al

Dear Peter, YOU SAID: "Project Appleseed, the national campaign for public
school improvement is putting together a web site featuring information
about parental involvement in education. We are looking for suggestions
about what you would like to see on this site and links you believe are
helpful."could you tell me the web address? Thank you.Tina Bell tdbell@ctc.csustan.eduPeter,
Have you thought about the decimal system?It is essentially the outline
form of organizing essays you probably learned in school but instead of
using a mixed bag of indices (Roman numerals, capital letters, small letters,
numbers, etc) you simply use a decimal system. IBM is probably the most
famous organization to completely adopt the system.1. /documents/pathos/
1.1 General features of this category1.2 http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/pathos/
in everyday life1.2.1
The psychology of everyday life1.2.2
The psychology
of transformative life ...2. Ethos ...etc. I think the best feature of
this approach is its openness: categories can be added at any level, at
any time, using a completely logical extention of the system in use. A
close second is the intuitive character of the system: knowing little about
it, most people working with such material can usually find their way through
the maze quite easily.IMPORTANT: take the time to give some thought to
those "highest level" categories in the system.
They cannot easily be subsumed
under still higher-level categories: all other numbers then have to change
- just the kind of thing one would like to avoid with a good filing system.Ross
powell@direct.ca between the mountains and the sea...
OK, I tried
to being some order into the files. I created
(for
those interested in using the system and current and future students)I
created
class.htm for the structure of my creating
the conditions for learning sometimes called teaching using points,
portfolios, /DOCUMENTS/journals and outlines of classes - Internet 101,
Applied Human Relations, Sociology and Government.I created
for
views on the MOST ancient profession with connections to the other
ancient professions -
There is internet.htm for the
information
about
The market and applications
, for
information
about servers and web pages, html and web pages, and other newbie information
- we are all newbies in the new world order
There is announce.htm for
offers
of services and general discussionPolicy.htm is the general stuff on
public affairs and the state of the world
and nation Maybe I will replace the Doc1 etc with these files - but when
I did I didn't like the results - Peter - files ? Setting up that many
/directories won't work - maybe a label or index that links - a lot of
work and time and I don't have it - I need help. I thought of some sort
of synergy $$$ (points) that could be earned by doing this kind of stuff
- Work study - $$$ good for web space, and my services in traffic generation.

Peter Pflaum Subject: Re: Basic human character Peter, Have you read
The
Universe Story, by Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry?
Also, Swimme has
a video series called Canticle to the Cosmos - any one of the 12 will give
you a good feel for his work.
The central idea is that humans need a "creation
story" - a new cosmology, that post-Einsteinian, post Heisenberg science
can now provide - in order to reconnect with nature on a sacred level and
release the energy that we need to evolve to the next stage.
They see us
having to choose between an ecozoic era or a technozoic era - the former
based on new cosmology/deep ecology and the latter that continues our erroneous
view that we are
out
side nature and can continue exploiting the world's resources for our
exclusive benefit.Anyway - highly recommended stuff. A quantum leap beyond
the fine work done by
Capra
, for example. Nothing against
Fritjof
* I'm a fan of his. For a quick overview of this work, see Ecommunion on

The
peptides are the material manifestation of the psyche and the "soul". Anger,
love, fear, awe, depression, joy, are physical and material body reactions.
Actors that play happy people have different blood chemistry from actors
that play angry people. Thinking makes it happen, body chemistry effects
our thinking. Psychol-therapy, or traditional education maybe able to change
our patterns of thought to produce new chemical balances, but its very
difficult and unlikely. But if drugs can change the chemistry - bingo our
own attitude changes.
"People
with multiple personalities sometimes have extremely clear physical symptoms
that vary with each personality. One personality can be allergic to cats
while another is not. One personality can be diabetic and another is not."
Neuro-peptides
are the biochemical units of emotion. Emotions almost always set the context
for behavior. Perhaps, industrial and social training need to take place
with sets of conditions that produce the responses needed. Construction,
decoration and graphics, sights and sounds, diet, motion, all can contribute.
Maybe also "soma", drugs that produce a sense of security, well- being
and hope.
This is the base of our Sufi program.
The
old systems of power and top-down authority (Male domination systems) have
become more and more dysfunctional. Public schools are the great hold-outs
of "communist", state bureaucracies that ignore market forces. IBM, GM,
and the other industrial giants are making way for smaller, faster, more
flexible cooperative systems of enterprise.
The US congress with it's domination
by old men, committee chairmen, no longer works. Big "communications" mega-media
is coming apart at the edges.
The US congress with it's domination

?)TOO
BIG - TOO MUCH CHANGE - TOO FAST and there is nothing we can do about it
! We can never understand the relationship between ourselves and the universals
?
There are many simple actions that will make our lives and our schools,
or families, or communities, or nation better but be are frozen - unable
to move -First we need the sense to make sense - the freedom to make choices
- I have said for years - first you need a system capable of reform - then
reform will happen. Public Education as now structured so as to be incapable
of reform, so is the national political process, so are most of us.
RE:
The fifth
wave of MONEY and Business and Education and Politics: A new discipline
FIRST:
The new conceptual framework or paradigm: We have to
wake-up,
get in touch, with "
The dreamtime" -
The myths, traditions, customs, laws,
that define "who are you" - and create the law - customs that define us
as social (civilized) humans * the Way of the First Self (of many selves)
is Tribal.
The economies use barter - up and down - one dimension. (
The
Last Wave of Peter Wier)
SECOND WRITING, GOLD and silver coins - right and left, two dimensions:
Civilization is an abstraction - the common illusions of belief systems
of Church and State - Kings and priests.."
The ancient regime" *
The modern
world is a reaction to the "caste" system * demands some freedom of choice
- THIRD PRINTING, Banks and corporations,
The Dutch about the 15th Century,
in and out - third dimension - private enterprise - Freemasons and clock
works as a model of the universe, solid state physics -
The rational modern
world rejected the old order and almost all the "spirit" and "body knowledge"
and got itself into a value free science - What ever worked ? Logic positivism
? Good grief - clearly going too far - FOURTH Electric phones, Radio, TV,
telex, made possible Central Banks, modern money and banking, rediscounting
and the multiplier effect. (19th Century) Time is the fourth dimension.
The electrical, chemical, mass production systems - mass production factories
and scientific management * Where our minds are formed and institutions
are set in their ruts.. Institutions take on their own culture -
The sum
becomes more than the parts -
The Man in the Grey Business Suit - Blue
Shirt IBM - Where is the freedom of choice ? Where are the values that
make for honest human relationships and real quality ? Deming and Dewey
knew the human pain and suffering cause the loss of connections between
thinking and doing: the is the "new" old order.
FIFTH,
The fifth dimension, or fifth
discipline is about wholes - the sum being more than the parts -
RE: Bio-culture
Stage
One:
Tribal,
The bushmen and Australian aborigines
are examples where the body-mind, body-mind transmitters, the immune system,
and the organization of the uncommitted cortex become synergist with the
tribal customs, beliefs, traditions, that make up tribal "law". While we
are all the product of our culture, the biological base is little understood.
As Ed Wilson's called it "the groves" or patterns of or body-mind, genealogy,
chemistry are social and cultural. That is the nature of man.
Stage
two,
Urban
- During the 30,000 years of the agricultural, urban revolution, "modern
man" added cultural and material technology in a more conscious way. Writing,
coins, kings and priests, raised the level of awareness to the human potential
beyond the tribal "self".
The education of leaders was "in the world, but
not of the world", so they could see beyond the limits of their own culture.
It is always a mistake to believe in your own propaganda - divine kings
have to know the reality of their divinity or they become crazy, and can
not tell the map from the territory - what is "real" and what is popular
illusion. Who is the real wizard of OZ, because the wizard must knows he
is not the mighty OZ, but only some one who controls the leavers.
Stage
three,
from
the renaissance on, the growing hubris, arrogant, and pride that man was
the measure of all things and was not limited by god, nature, culture and
tradition.
The result was the vast expansion of European power, capitalism,
bureaucracy, democracy, the rebellion of the American Colonies, the French
Revolution, Marxism, Fascist, and evangelical religion ( a direct contact
with a personal god ).
The biological limits were pushed but not repealed.
It was not nice to mess with "Mother" nature.
The war gods, aggressive,
and pushy won a temporary spurious victory. Dr. Faustus made his deal with
the devil.
Stage
four
the
firstand second industrial revolutions through electic and chemical stages,
money and banking, insurance, corporations, income taxes, social security,
and the whole complex of cultural and material artifacts of the modern
world. ( You can see how complex this social web is from the experience
of the USS-was, without real commercial law, banks, property, insurance,
et al. Big was better, god was on the side of the best armed and trained
regiments. Our mind-sets, models, assumptions, institutions all come from
the industrial age.
Stage
Five,
The biological
tradition relates to all life, and connects the individual and society
to universals. This is the
COVENANT
.
*When you break the covenant between the society or individual and "mother"
nature, the law falls away and all hell breaks loose - said the prophet.
The
loss of faith in the traditional authority and belief structure is what
happened to the Seneca ( Tony Wallace ) - then the white buffalo and dooms
day cults - Buchanan, Evangelist, Flat taxers and White racist, the mad
search for biological roots in the dream time, when the tradition no longer
"works", and authority fails. If we are post industrial, post civilization
- then what ?
My
vision is not hopeful.. islands (with walls and gates) of electronic connections
- artificial intelligence without the feel of blood, of breath, of heat
or cold, of love or hate, of dreams or passions, unconnected to the billions
of years of creation, not really knowing their clan territory, having no
sense of place, no roots.
Who are you
?
You
are slim mold, fish, plants, the ocean in the living blood. We need a new
tribalism to balance the abstraction * the BS, the commercial amoral technology...We
need a Handsome Lake, with a vision. (See the Last Wave of Peter Weir's
A wonderful film )
RE:
The Vision Thing:<
People
keep asking: What is going on here. First
I have no fixed doctrine, or even clear goals. If you benefit from what
I have done then I have done something, I can be pleased.
Otherwise it is sound and fury meaning nothing - If you can help by letting
me know what is useful then you will help yourself and others who visit
in the future. Maybe this is a new form of literature, a new form of communications,
a new form of knowing, a new form of teaching and learning, maybe it's
a new life form that takes shape as it evolves, maybe it's trash, maybe
it's wisdom, maybe it's hope, maybe it's hopeless ?
Maybe it's my EGO blast, maybe its beyond or above or into or out of my
mind, wise fool or foolish ? A GURU I am not! It is a new world order that
does not fit the internalized models and assumptions of the industrial
empire. It's radical, flexible, profound, difficult, and complexity human.
It starts with a vision, a non-verbal knowing of non-self, existence and
reality beyond self.
The fourth force comes from awareness of the "roundness"
of reality.
The three classical attitudes are:
THE
MONK,
control
of passions or ID,
THE
YOGI,
THE
BODY-MIND

THE
NERD LOCATION
"New Age",
Humanistic psychology, trans-personal, ecological, motivational "positive
thinking", peak performance, which are all aspects of the same elephant.
In
Fritz
Perls terms:
Chicken
dropping
Cow
dropping (BS) -
showing
off, undergraduate discussions, politics * pretence and role playing..
Elephant
dropping
profound
but empty, false talk, the news, politics and hollow religion - profound
pretenses -
The
State
of the Union
The
ancient Sufi tale of the elephant in the dark (or blind men and the elephant)
is about people's limits of awareness. Everyone perceives and different
aspect of "reality" and then argues with others who have grasped a different
piece. Higher awareness requires an altered states of consciousness.
THE
WAY YOU SEE THE PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM
Another
tale is the
lion in the pit told
in books by Idries Shah Tales of the Dervishes, Sufi teaching stories
and in the Sufis.
You
try to show the lion the way of escape but he doesn't perceive the nature
of his condition and situation. He eats the people that come to help him.
People do not take kindly to enlightment.
There
is no good deed that goes unpunished.
There
is an integration of modern physics, medicine, psychology, philosophy,
and ancient ways of knowing.
The
vision comes from Handsome Lake, the
Tony
Wallace "
The Death and Rebirth of the Seneca"
The covenant has been
broken - society, the traditional ways of knowing, authority has been lost.
Things are coming apart and people don't seem to know "what is going on".
Stages:
The Spectrum of Consciousness:
ONE
TWO:
(Infant
Awareness) Thinking in words and /images, focused impulses and emotions:
Ages one to three.
THREE:<
(Elementary
Symbolic Awareness)
The unique nature of humans is advanced symbol identification
and naming in context of a social language: (ages three to six)
FOUR:
(Junior
Role Awareness) Construction of "rules", Roles, Acting the part, Pretense,
the BLUE water stage, construction of the "life Rafts", defenses, body
amour, and habits "which start as fine as spider's webs but with practice
become heavy chains, iron cables which define the limits of our being,"
these chains were constructed in the "industrial age".
The "information
age" requires breaking the habits of mass production, top down, bureaucratic
consciousness, inside and outside.
FIVE:
(
High School, apprenticeship, emotional/rational awareness ) Introspection,
deductive reasoning, and social acceptable behavior ( by peer groups and
commercial interests ).
The YELLOW earth stage of rationalization, projections,
transference, dogma, beliefs, superstitions, fancies: based on passions,
wants, needs, desires, EGO gratification. Society demands this level of
development but no more, there are social pressures to keep the "masses"
as factory workers and not move their awareness beyond this norm. to wake
up the people to "what is really going on" is a subversive activity.
SIX:
(
EDUCATED: http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/JOURneyman,
The Liberal Arts,
wake-up) Traditionally reserved for the "ruling class", Humanities, More
integrated thinking, a wider prospective, the greater good, synthesis,
connections, relationships, were necessary for leadership, maybe even some
body-mind awareness. Poetry, the visual arts, music, dance, philosophy,
modern science and math, open the doors of perception beyond the limits
of "home town" culture.
The RED Zone, because the dangers and fear of freedom,
most people do now have the security to feel comfortable with open horizons
and new ideas, cultures, changes, possibilities.
SEVEN:
(
MASTERS Craftsmen Level, KNOWLEDGEABLE, understanding, pay attention:)
almost wise, profound: Some are born to independence, some achieve independence,
some have independence thrust upon them).
The BROWN Ground is the deep
down sense of being OK, self actualization.
The "feeling" not a thought
that you can trust and believe in yourself, you are the perfect creation
of a loving G- D, you are not the reflection in others eyes and DEPENDENT
on others reactions, but have gained freedom to respond by your free choice.
Knowledge is the connection between thinking and doing, information plus
understanding of what is really going on beyond the information given.
EIGHT:<
Doctor's
level - (In the old crafts guild sense not our corrupted educational certificates)
Psychic, mystic, awareness of spirits, ghosts, mysteries, demons, love,
hate, body-mind connections - NOT independent of ego, or information, knowledge,
experience, common sense, but an expansion.
There are a lot of "fakes",
wizards, con-artist, crazies, who sell short cuts to "wisdom", faith, trans-personal
spiritual, transforming experience, BUT...BUT... BUT...
Level
nine and ten
The concept is mostly expressed in the heavenly music
of the spheres, the sweet harmony of the universe, the poetry of the soul;
" we are the stuff of which stars and dreams are made", - a mystery in
a puzzle in an enigma - and feel comfortable with different ways of knowing
and not knowing.
The many "selves" become integrated not overwhelmed or
destroyed, the repertoire becomes wider - Rumi, Mozart, Franklin, FD Roosevelt,
( all freemasons) and in our day: Herbert Benson, Joseph Campbell. et al
Norman
Cousins,
Wellness Bib
Dean Ornish, Alexander Lowen, Steven Covey, Victor Frankl, Ken Wilber,
A.H. Maslow, Charles Tart, - People who live in the world, not just practice
human potential - but do something to make the world a better place, Dr
Salk, Pauling, Bronsky, who do you suggest as approaching the "complete
person", focused on goals, active, energized, balanced, centered, understanding,
patient, soulful, mindful, spiritual, loving, a "great human being" maybe
Judith my Grandmother ? Does not have to have a certificate in "human potential"
or do yoga - these are means not ends and the ends can be achieved in many
ways.
The
heros of Yugoslavia, the saints of Samolia, the Doctors without Walls,
(Medicin san Frontier)
The children ground, (le Terre L'Enfant) go to where
angels fear to tread and you find them - Central Africa, South East Asia,
Urban Schools - Our mothers ? Clearly missing in the political leadership
because the system does not allow greatness, courage, honesty, character..From:

to being some order into the files. I created
(for
those interested in using the system and current and future students)I
created
class.htm for the structure of my creating
the conditions for learning sometimes called teaching using points,
portfolios, /DOCUMENTS/journals and outlines of classes - Internet 101,
Applied Human Relations, Sociology and Government.I created
for
views on the MOST ancient profession with connections to the other
ancient professions -
There is internet.htm for the
information
about
The market and applications
, for
information
about servers and web pages, html and web pages, and other newbie information
- we are all newbies in the new world order
There is announce.htm for
offers
of services and general discussionPolicy.htm is the general stuff on
public affairs and the state of the world
and nation Maybe I will replace the Doc1 etc with these files - but when
I did I didn't like the results - Peter - files ? Setting up that many
/directories won't work - maybe a label or index that links - a lot of
work and time and I don't have it - I need help. I thought of some sort
of synergy $$$ (points) that could be earned by doing this kind of stuff
- Work study - $$$ good for web space, and my services in traffic generation.

Peter Pflaum Subject: Re: Basic human character Peter, Have you read
The
Universe Story, by Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry?
Also, Swimme has
a video series called Canticle to the Cosmos - any one of the 12 will give
you a good feel for his work.
The central idea is that humans need a "creation
story" - a new cosmology, that post-Einsteinian, post Heisenberg science
can now provide - in order to reconnect with nature on a sacred level and
release the energy that we need to evolve to the next stage.
They see us
having to choose between an ecozoic era or a technozoic era - the former
based on new cosmology/deep ecology and the latter that continues our erroneous
view that we are
out
side nature and can continue exploiting the world's resources for our
exclusive benefit.Anyway - highly recommended stuff. A quantum leap beyond
the fine work done by
Capra
, for example. Nothing against
Fritjof
* I'm a fan of his. For a quick overview of this work, see Ecommunion on

FIRST:
The new conceptual framework or paradigm: We have to
wake-up,
get in touch, with "
The dreamtime" -
The myths, traditions, customs, laws,
that define "who are you" - and create the law - customs that define us
as social (civilized) humans * the Way of the First Self (of many selves)
is Tribal.
The economies use barter - up and down - one dimension. (

FIFTH,
The fifth dimension, or fifth
discipline is about wholes - the sum being more than the parts -
RE: Bio-culture
Stage
One:
Tribal,
The bushmen and Australian aborigines
are examples where the body-mind, body-mind transmitters, the immune system,
and the organization of the uncommitted cortex become synergist with the
tribal customs, beliefs, traditions, that make up tribal "law". While we
are all the product of our culture, the biological base is little understood.
As Ed Wilson's called it "the groves" or patterns of or body-mind, genealogy,
chemistry are social and cultural. That is the nature of man.
Stage
two,
Urban
- During the 30,000 years of the agricultural, urban revolution, "modern
man" added cultural and material technology in a more conscious way. Writing,
coins, kings and priests, raised the level of awareness to the human potential
beyond the tribal "self".
The education of leaders was "in the world, but
not of the world", so they could see beyond the limits of their own culture.
It is always a mistake to believe in your own propaganda - divine kings
have to know the reality of their divinity or they become crazy, and can
not tell the map from the territory - what is "real" and what is popular
illusion. Who is the real wizard of OZ, because the wizard must knows he
is not the mighty OZ, but only some one who controls the leavers.
Stage
three,
from
the renaissance on, the growing hubris, arrogant, and pride that man was
the measure of all things and was not limited by god, nature, culture and
tradition.
The result was the vast expansion of European power, capitalism,
bureaucracy, democracy, the rebellion of the American Colonies, the French
Revolution, Marxism, Fascist, and evangelical religion ( a direct contact
with a personal god ).
The biological limits were pushed but not repealed.
It was not nice to mess with "Mother" nature.
The war gods, aggressive,
and pushy won a temporary spurious victory. Dr. Faustus made his deal with
the devil.
Stage
four
the
firstand second industrial revolutions through electic and chemical stages,
money and banking, insurance, corporations, income taxes, social security,
and the whole complex of cultural and material artifacts of the modern
world. ( You can see how complex this social web is from the experience
of the USS-was, without real commercial law, banks, property, insurance,
et al. Big was better, god was on the side of the best armed and trained
regiments. Our mind-sets, models, assumptions, institutions all come from
the industrial age.
Stage
Five,
The biological
tradition relates to all life, and connects the individual and society
to universals. This is the
COVENANT
.
*When you break the covenant between the society or individual and "mother"
nature, the law falls away and all hell breaks loose - said the prophet.
The
loss of faith in the traditional authority and belief structure is what
happened to the Seneca ( Tony Wallace ) - then the white buffalo and dooms
day cults - Buchanan, Evangelist, Flat taxers and White racist, the mad
search for biological roots in the dream time, when the tradition no longer
"works", and authority fails. If we are post industrial, post civilization
- then what ?
My
vision is not hopeful.. islands (with walls and gates) of electronic connections
- artificial intelligence without the feel of blood, of breath, of heat
or cold, of love or hate, of dreams or passions, unconnected to the billions
of years of creation, not really knowing their clan territory, having no
sense of place, no roots.
Who are you
?
You
are slim mold, fish, plants, the ocean in the living blood. We need a new
tribalism to balance the abstraction * the BS, the commercial amoral technology...We
need a Handsome Lake, with a vision. (See the Last Wave of Peter Weir's
A wonderful film )
RE:
The Vision Thing:<
People
keep asking: What is going on here. First
I have no fixed doctrine, or even clear goals. If you benefit from what
I have done then I have done something, I can be pleased.
Otherwise it is sound and fury meaning nothing - If you can help by letting
me know what is useful then you will help yourself and others who visit
in the future. Maybe this is a new form of literature, a new form of communications,
a new form of knowing, a new form of teaching and learning, maybe it's
a new life form that takes shape as it evolves, maybe it's trash, maybe
it's wisdom, maybe it's hope, maybe it's hopeless ?
Maybe it's my EGO blast, maybe its beyond or above or into or out of my
mind, wise fool or foolish ? A GURU I am not! It is a new world order that
does not fit the internalized models and assumptions of the industrial
empire. It's radical, flexible, profound, difficult, and complexity human.
It starts with a vision, a non-verbal knowing of non-self, existence and
reality beyond self.
The fourth force comes from awareness of the "roundness"
of reality.
The three classical attitudes are:

The
ancient Sufi tale of the elephant in the dark (or blind men and the elephant)
is about people's limits of awareness. Everyone perceives and different
aspect of "reality" and then argues with others who have grasped a different
piece. Higher awareness requires an altered states of consciousness.
THE
WAY YOU SEE THE PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM
Another
tale is the
lion in the pit told
in books by Idries Shah Tales of the Dervishes, Sufi teaching stories
and in the Sufis.
You
try to show the lion the way of escape but he doesn't perceive the nature
of his condition and situation. He eats the people that come to help him.
People do not take kindly to enlightment.
There
is no good deed that goes unpunished.
There
is an integration of modern physics, medicine, psychology, philosophy,
and ancient ways of knowing.
The
vision comes from Handsome Lake, the
Tony
Wallace "
The Death and Rebirth of the Seneca"
The covenant has been
broken - society, the traditional ways of knowing, authority has been lost.
Things are coming apart and people don't seem to know "what is going on".
Stages:
The Spectrum of Consciousness:
ONE
TWO:
(Infant
Awareness) Thinking in words and /images, focused impulses and emotions:
Ages one to three.
THREE:<
(Elementary
Symbolic Awareness)
The unique nature of humans is advanced symbol identification
and naming in context of a social language: (ages three to six)
FOUR:
(Junior
Role Awareness) Construction of "rules", Roles, Acting the part, Pretense,
the BLUE water stage, construction of the "life Rafts", defenses, body
amour, and habits "which start as fine as spider's webs but with practice
become heavy chains, iron cables which define the limits of our being,"
these chains were constructed in the "industrial age".
The "information
age" requires breaking the habits of mass production, top down, bureaucratic
consciousness, inside and outside.
FIVE:
(
High School, apprenticeship, emotional/rational awareness ) Introspection,
deductive reasoning, and social acceptable behavior ( by peer groups and
commercial interests ).
The YELLOW earth stage of rationalization, projections,
transference, dogma, beliefs, superstitions, fancies: based on passions,
wants, needs, desires, EGO gratification. Society demands this level of
development but no more, there are social pressures to keep the "masses"
as factory workers and not move their awareness beyond this norm. to wake
up the people to "what is really going on" is a subversive activity.
SIX:
(
EDUCATED: http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/JOURneyman,
The Liberal Arts,
wake-up) Traditionally reserved for the "ruling class", Humanities, More
integrated thinking, a wider prospective, the greater good, synthesis,
connections, relationships, were necessary for leadership, maybe even some
body-mind awareness. Poetry, the visual arts, music, dance, philosophy,
modern science and math, open the doors of perception beyond the limits
of "home town" culture.
The RED Zone, because the dangers and fear of freedom,
most people do now have the security to feel comfortable with open horizons
and new ideas, cultures, changes, possibilities.
SEVEN:
(
MASTERS Craftsmen Level, KNOWLEDGEABLE, understanding, pay attention:)
almost wise, profound: Some are born to independence, some achieve independence,
some have independence thrust upon them).
The BROWN Ground is the deep
down sense of being OK, self actualization.
The "feeling" not a thought
that you can trust and believe in yourself, you are the perfect creation
of a loving G- D, you are not the reflection in others eyes and DEPENDENT
on others reactions, but have gained freedom to respond by your free choice.
Knowledge is the connection between thinking and doing, information plus
understanding of what is really going on beyond the information given.
EIGHT:<
Doctor's
level - (In the old crafts guild sense not our corrupted educational certificates)
Psychic, mystic, awareness of spirits, ghosts, mysteries, demons, love,
hate, body-mind connections - NOT independent of ego, or information, knowledge,
experience, common sense, but an expansion.
There are a lot of "fakes",
wizards, con-artist, crazies, who sell short cuts to "wisdom", faith, trans-personal
spiritual, transforming experience, BUT...BUT... BUT...
Level
nine and ten
The concept is mostly expressed in the heavenly music
of the spheres, the sweet harmony of the universe, the poetry of the soul;
" we are the stuff of which stars and dreams are made", - a mystery in
a puzzle in an enigma - and feel comfortable with different ways of knowing
and not knowing.
The many "selves" become integrated not overwhelmed or
destroyed, the repertoire becomes wider - Rumi, Mozart, Franklin, FD Roosevelt,
( all freemasons) and in our day: Herbert Benson, Joseph Campbell. et al

Since
we need profound change
Therefore we will try to shake it up...Galatea 2.2
(the model of Pygmalyon, an excerpt) by Richard Powers. I browsed the world
web. I fished it from my node on a building host that served up more megabits
a second than I could request. By keying in short electronic addresses,
I connected to machines
all over the face... Associations of associations. It struck me. Every
neuron formed a middle term in a continuous, elaborate,
brain-wide
pun. With a rash of dendrite inputs and handfuls of axon outs, each

Dear Peter, YOU SAID: "Project Appleseed, the national campaign for public
school improvement is putting together a web site featuring information
about parental involvement in education. We are looking for suggestions
about what you would like to see on this site and links you believe are
helpful."could you tell me the web address? Thank you.Tina Bell tdbell@ctc.csustan.eduPeter,
Have you thought about the decimal system?It is essentially the outline
form of organizing essays you probably learned in school but instead of
using a mixed bag of indices (Roman numerals, capital letters, small letters,
numbers, etc) you simply use a decimal system. IBM is probably the most
famous organization to completely adopt the system.1. /documents/pathos/
1.1 General features of this category1.2 http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/pathos/
in everyday life1.2.1
The psychology of everyday life1.2.2
The psychology
of transformative life ...2. Ethos ...etc. I think the best feature of
this approach is its openness: categories can be added at any level, at
any time, using a completely logical extention of the system in use. A
close second is the intuitive character of the system: knowing little about
it, most people working with such material can usually find their way through
the maze quite easily.IMPORTANT: take the time to give some thought to
those "highest level" categories in the system.
They cannot easily be subsumed
under still higher-level categories: all other numbers then have to change
- just the kind of thing one would like to avoid with a good filing system.Ross
powell@direct.ca between the mountains and the sea...
OK, I tried
to being some order into the files. I created
(for
those interested in using the system and current and future students)I
created

the conditions for learning sometimes called teaching using points,
portfolios, /DOCUMENTS/journals and outlines of classes - Internet 101,

There is internet.htm for the

- we are all newbies in the new world order
There is announce.htm for

I did I didn't like the results - Peter - files ? Setting up that many
/directories won't work - maybe a label or index that links - a lot of
work and time and I don't have it - I need help. I thought of some sort

Peter Pflaum Subject: Re: Basic human character Peter, Have you read
The
Universe Story, by Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry?
Also, Swimme has
a video series called Canticle to the Cosmos - any one of the 12 will give
you a good feel for his work.
The central idea is that humans need a "creation
story" - a new cosmology, that post-Einsteinian, post Heisenberg science
can now provide - in order to reconnect with nature on a sacred level and
release the energy that we need to evolve to the next stage.
They see us
having to choose between an ecozoic era or a technozoic era - the former
based on new cosmology/deep ecology and the latter that continues our erroneous
view that we are
out

profound
but empty, false talk, the news, politics and hollow religion - profound

The
The
ancient Sufi tale of the elephant in the dark (or blind men and the elephant)
is about people's limits of awareness. Everyone perceives and different
aspect of "reality" and then argues with others who have grasped a different
piece. Higher awareness requires an altered states of consciousness.
THE
WAY YOU SEE THE PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM
Another
tale is the
lion in the pit told
in books by Idries Shah Tales of the Dervishes, Sufi teaching stories
and in the Sufis.
You
try to show the lion the way of escape but he doesn't perceive the nature
of his condition and situation. He eats the people that come to help him.
People do not take kindly to enlightment.
There
is no good deed that goes unpunished.
There
is an integration of modern physics, medicine, psychology, philosophy,
and ancient ways of knowing.
The
vision comes from Handsome Lake, the
Tony
Wallace "
The Death and Rebirth of the Seneca"
The covenant has been
broken - society, the traditional ways of knowing, authority has been lost.
Things are coming apart and people don't seem to know "what is going on".
Stages:
The Spectrum of Consciousness:
ONE
TWO:
(Infant
Awareness) Thinking in words and /images, focused impulses and emotions:
Ages one to three.
THREE:<
(Elementary
Symbolic Awareness)
The unique nature of humans is advanced symbol identification
and naming in context of a social language: (ages three to six)
FOUR:
(Junior
Role Awareness) Construction of "rules", Roles, Acting the part, Pretense,
the BLUE water stage, construction of the "life Rafts", defenses, body
amour, and habits "which start as fine as spider's webs but with practice
become heavy chains, iron cables which define the limits of our being,"
these chains were constructed in the "industrial age".
The "information
age" requires breaking the habits of mass production, top down, bureaucratic
consciousness, inside and outside.
FIVE:
(
High School, apprenticeship, emotional/rational awareness ) Introspection,
deductive reasoning, and social acceptable behavior ( by peer groups and
commercial interests ).
The YELLOW earth stage of rationalization, projections,
transference, dogma, beliefs, superstitions, fancies: based on passions,
wants, needs, desires, EGO gratification. Society demands this level of
development but no more, there are social pressures to keep the "masses"
as factory workers and not move their awareness beyond this norm. to wake
up the people to "what is really going on" is a subversive activity.
SIX:

EDUCATED: http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/JOURneyman,
The Liberal Arts,
wake-up) Traditionally reserved for the "ruling class", Humanities, More
integrated thinking, a wider prospective, the greater good, synthesis,
connections, relationships, were necessary for leadership, maybe even some
body-mind awareness. Poetry, the visual arts, music, dance, philosophy,
modern science and math, open the doors of perception beyond the limits
of "home town" culture.
The RED Zone, because the dangers and fear of freedom,
most people do now have the security to feel comfortable with open horizons
and new ideas, cultures, changes, possibilities.
SEVEN:
(
MASTERS Craftsmen Level, KNOWLEDGEABLE, understanding, pay attention:)
almost wise, profound: Some are born to independence, some achieve independence,
some have independence thrust upon them).
The BROWN Ground is the deep
down sense of being OK, self actualization.
The "feeling" not a thought
that you can trust and believe in yourself, you are the perfect creation
of a loving G- D, you are not the reflection in others eyes and DEPENDENT
on others reactions, but have gained freedom to respond by your free choice.
Knowledge is the connection between thinking and doing, information plus
understanding of what is really going on beyond the information given.
EIGHT:<
Doctor's
level - (In the old crafts guild sense not our corrupted educational certificates)
Psychic, mystic, awareness of spirits, ghosts, mysteries, demons, love,
hate, body-mind connections - NOT independent of ego, or information, knowledge,
experience, common sense, but an expansion.
There are a lot of "fakes",
wizards, con-artist, crazies, who sell short cuts to "wisdom", faith, trans-personal
spiritual, transforming experience, BUT...BUT... BUT...
Level
nine and ten
The concept is mostly expressed in the heavenly music
of the spheres, the sweet harmony of the universe, the poetry of the soul;
" we are the stuff of which stars and dreams are made", - a mystery in
a puzzle in an enigma - and feel comfortable with different ways of knowing
and not knowing.
The many "selves" become integrated not overwhelmed or
destroyed, the repertoire becomes wider - Rumi, Mozart, Franklin, FD Roosevelt,
( all freemasons) and in our day: Herbert Benson, Joseph Campbell. et al
Norman

Wellness Bib
Dean Ornish, Alexander Lowen, Steven Covey, Victor Frankl, Ken Wilber,

human potential - but do something to make the world a better place, Dr
Salk, Pauling, Bronsky, who do you suggest as approaching the "complete
person", focused on goals, active, energized, balanced, centered, understanding,
patient, soulful, mindful, spiritual, loving, a "great human being" maybe
Judith my Grandmother ? Does not have to have a certificate in "human potential"
or do yoga - these are means not ends and the ends can be achieved in many
ways.

The children ground, (le Terre L'Enfant) go to where
angels fear to tread and you find them - Central Africa, South East Asia,

because the system does not allow greatness, courage, honesty, character..From:

a second than I could request. By keying in short electronic addresses,
I connected to machines
all over the face... Associations of associations. It struck me. Every
neuron formed a middle term in a continuous, elaborate,

Dear Peter, YOU SAID: "Project Appleseed, the national campaign for public
school improvement is putting together a web site featuring information
about parental involvement in education. We are looking for suggestions
about what you would like to see on this site and links you believe are
helpful."could you tell me the web address? Thank you.Tina Bell tdbell@ctc.csustan.eduPeter,
Have you thought about the decimal system?It is essentially the outline
form of organizing essays you probably learned in school but instead of
using a mixed bag of indices (Roman numerals, capital letters, small letters,
numbers, etc) you simply use a decimal system. IBM is probably the most
famous organization to completely adopt the system.1. /documents/pathos/
1.1 General features of this category1.2 http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/pathos/
in everyday life1.2.1
The psychology of everyday life1.2.2
The psychology
of transformative life ...2. Ethos ...etc. I think the best feature of
this approach is its openness: categories can be added at any level, at
any time, using a completely logical extention of the system in use. A
close second is the intuitive character of the system: knowing little about
it, most people working with such material can usually find their way through
the maze quite easily.IMPORTANT: take the time to give some thought to
those "highest level" categories in the system.
They cannot easily be subsumed
under still higher-level categories: all other numbers then have to change
- just the kind of thing one would like to avoid with a good filing system.Ross

Peter Pflaum Subject: Re: Basic human character Peter, Have you read
The
Universe Story, by Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry?
Also, Swimme has
a video series called Canticle to the Cosmos - any one of the 12 will give
you a good feel for his work.
The central idea is that humans need a "creation
story" - a new cosmology, that post-Einsteinian, post Heisenberg science
can now provide - in order to reconnect with nature on a sacred level and
release the energy that we need to evolve to the next stage.
They see us
having to choose between an ecozoic era or a technozoic era - the former
based on new cosmology/deep ecology and the latter that continues our erroneous
view that we are
out
side nature and can continue exploiting the world's resources for our
exclusive benefit.Anyway - highly recommended stuff. A quantum leap beyond
the fine work done by

SEVEN:
(
MASTERS Craftsmen Level, KNOWLEDGEABLE, understanding, pay attention:)
almost wise, profound: Some are born to independence, some achieve independence,
some have independence thrust upon them).
The BROWN Ground is the deep
down sense of being OK, self actualization.
The "feeling" not a thought
that you can trust and believe in yourself, you are the perfect creation
of a loving G- D, you are not the reflection in others eyes and DEPENDENT
on others reactions, but have gained freedom to respond by your free choice.
Knowledge is the connection between thinking and doing, information plus
understanding of what is really going on beyond the information given.
EIGHT:<
Doctor's
level - (In the old crafts guild sense not our corrupted educational certificates)
Psychic, mystic, awareness of spirits, ghosts, mysteries, demons, love,
hate, body-mind connections - NOT independent of ego, or information, knowledge,
experience, common sense, but an expansion.
There are a lot of "fakes",
wizards, con-artist, crazies, who sell short cuts to "wisdom", faith, trans-personal
spiritual, transforming experience, BUT...BUT... BUT...
Level
nine and ten
The concept is mostly expressed in the heavenly music
of the spheres, the sweet harmony of the universe, the poetry of the soul;
" we are the stuff of which stars and dreams are made", - a mystery in
a puzzle in an enigma - and feel comfortable with different ways of knowing
and not knowing.
The many "selves" become integrated not overwhelmed or
destroyed, the repertoire becomes wider - Rumi, Mozart, Franklin, FD Roosevelt,
( all freemasons) and in our day: Herbert Benson, Joseph Campbell. et al
Norman
Cousins,
Wellness Bib
Dean Ornish, Alexander Lowen, Steven Covey, Victor Frankl, Ken Wilber,
A.H. Maslow, Charles Tart, - People who live in the world, not just practice
human potential - but do something to make the world a better place, Dr
Salk, Pauling, Bronsky, who do you suggest as approaching the "complete
person", focused on goals, active, energized, balanced, centered, understanding,
patient, soulful, mindful, spiritual, loving, a "great human being" maybe
Judith my Grandmother ? Does not have to have a certificate in "human potential"
or do yoga - these are means not ends and the ends can be achieved in many
ways.
The
heros of Yugoslavia, the saints of Samolia, the Doctors without Walls,
(Medicin san Frontier)
The children ground, (le Terre L'Enfant) go to where
angels fear to tread and you find them - Central Africa, South East Asia,
Urban Schools - Our mothers ? Clearly missing in the political leadership
because the system does not allow greatness, courage, honesty, character..From:

Dear Peter, YOU SAID: "Project Appleseed, the national campaign for public
school improvement is putting together a web site featuring information
about parental involvement in education. We are looking for suggestions
about what you would like to see on this site and links you believe are
helpful."could you tell me the web address? Thank you.Tina Bell tdbell@ctc.csustan.eduPeter,
Have you thought about the decimal system?It is essentially the outline
form of organizing essays you probably learned in school but instead of
using a mixed bag of indices (Roman numerals, capital letters, small letters,
numbers, etc) you simply use a decimal system. IBM is probably the most
famous organization to completely adopt the system.1. /documents/pathos/
1.1 General features of this category1.2 http://www.wiredbrain.net/documents/pathos/
in everyday life1.2.1
The psychology of everyday life1.2.2
The psychology
of transformative life ...2. Ethos ...etc. I think the best feature of
this approach is its openness: categories can be added at any level, at
any time, using a completely logical extention of the system in use. A
close second is the intuitive character of the system: knowing little about
it, most people working with such material can usually find their way through
the maze quite easily.IMPORTANT: take the time to give some thought to
those "highest level" categories in the system.
They cannot easily be subsumed
under still higher-level categories: all other numbers then have to change
- just the kind of thing one would like to avoid with a good filing system.Ross

OK, I tried
to being some order into the files. I created
(for
those interested in using the system and current and future students)I
created
class.htm for the structure of my creating
the conditions for learning sometimes called teaching using points,
portfolios, /DOCUMENTS/journals and outlines of classes - Internet 101,
Applied Human Relations, Sociology and Government.I created
for
views on the MOST ancient profession with connections to the other
ancient professions -
There is internet.htm for the
information
about
The market and applications
, for
information
about servers and web pages, html and web pages, and other newbie information
- we are all newbies in the new world order
There is announce.htm for
offers
of services and general discussionPolicy.htm is the general stuff on
public affairs and the state of the world
and nation Maybe I will replace the Doc1 etc with these files - but when
I did I didn't like the results - Peter - files ? Setting up that many
/directories won't work - maybe a label or index that links - a lot of
work and time and I don't have it - I need help. I thought of some sort
of synergy $$$ (points) that could be earned by doing this kind of stuff
- Work study - $$$ good for web space, and my services in traffic generation.

The
Universe Story, by Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry?
Also, Swimme has
a video series called Canticle to the Cosmos - any one of the 12 will give
you a good feel for his work.
The central idea is that humans need a "creation
story" - a new cosmology, that post-Einsteinian, post Heisenberg science
can now provide - in order to reconnect with nature on a sacred level and
release the energy that we need to evolve to the next stage.
They see us
having to choose between an ecozoic era or a technozoic era - the former
based on new cosmology/deep ecology and the latter that continues our erroneous
view that we are
out
side nature and can continue exploiting the world's resources for our
exclusive benefit.Anyway - highly recommended stuff. A quantum leap beyond
the fine work done by
Capra
, for example. Nothing against
Fritjof
* I'm a fan of his. For a quick overview of this work, see Ecommunion on
the web along with other interesting articles at this address:http://www.doubleclickd.com/articleindex.html
