PROSPERO You do look, my son, in a moved sort, As if you were dismay'd: be cheerful, sir. Our revels now are ended.
These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. Sir, I am vex'd; Bear with my weakness; my, brain is troubled: Be not disturb'd with my infirmity: If you be pleased, retire into my cell And there repose: a turn or two I'll walk, To still my beating mind.

Color Coded Guide to Knowledge

Campbell, Joseph

1904+1987

American mythologist who wrote numerous influential works, including
The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949) and the four-volume Masks of God (1959+1967).

The Perennial Philosophy:

The common error: Making a thing out of an Idea

God is not an object, the Christ is not a person,
The church is not an organization,

Myth, poems, art, dance, music are expressions of intuitions of the spirit. Art is not self-expression ( or it's not very interesting if it is ) but of a relationship with the spirits (muse) that can not be expressed in any other way.

The expression of the spirit, the soul, the divine, the universal, is the role of natural religion. Humans have always had the need to connect their external world with an Internal and universal spirit. Because "soul" is immaterial doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It exists as the ether, as emotions, as chemistry, as a lover, as a patriot, as an artist, as a skilled crafts person, being all together inside out with the spirits beyond self and material culture.

Western religion stem from
The Persian religious leader Zoroaster in this century will found a faith whose sacred literature will be the Zend-Avesta.
The teachings of Zoroaster (Zarathustra) will dominate Persian religious thought for centuries.
The good is in battle with evil -
The Christ come to defeat the devil and recreate Eden.

Confuse the map for the territory:

The decline of religion comes when organizations confuse the "path" or spiritual journey with doctrine and material objects - the Christ as Person, God as three Persons, ceremony into material action, parable and analogy into the " Literal Word of God ".
The reason is simple - it's easier, it sells better, it gives more power to priests and churches, and is a cheap quick fix.

Tradition Religion is represented by the Grand Inquisitor fundementalist who is defined as tyrant, rigorist, pedant, precisian, formalist, stickler, red-tapist, bureaucrat petty tyrant, who makes everyone into slaves. That's why the American republic was founded by FreeMasons, Quakers, unitarians and deism (dê´îz´em) in reaction to the purtian fundementalist.
The belief, based solely on reason, in a God who created the universe and then abandoned it, assuming no control over life, exerting no influence on natural phenomena, and giving no supernatural revelation. [French déisme, from Latin deus, god.]

In the Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevski has the Grand Inquisitor interviews Christ who is imprisoned upon his returned for causing trouble. He tell Jesus ( Lover of the spirit ) that ordinary people just aren't up to the challenge of making up their own minds, doing the hard work and finding their own way to salvation.
Therefore the Church at the sure loss of their own souls - is giving them "the way".
The Inquisitor knows the Church can't save souls by formulas and ritual. But this is all people understand and it would be cruel and dangerous to take it away from them. And a threat to law and order and the Church & State. Christ just is going to have to die again.

The "path" of the spirit takes work, attention, and the discoveries along the way are sometimes unpleasant. It's a lot easier to say "you believe and you will get everything " … Life after death, what bull. BUT still some religion is better than none -

Religion in the 21 st century:

Sectarian fundamentalism is not a birth pain but a sign of death.
The great religions are breaking up into "White Buffalo Cults " because they are not doing their job.
They do not relate to the traditions human emotional and spiritual needs and they can not help connect the human spirit to the physical world.
The big lie only last so long.. Sectarian fundamentalist Religion can not deliver on the wild promises.

Spirit cults, hatha yoga,
The new "sufi", still have clues to the path for those who seek.
The 21^st century will see new great religions that may even call them selves Christian or Islam or Buddhist but will be based on "practice", breath, song, dance, and may have "teachers" but be more priest free.

Backwards:

From argument to intrigue :
It happens all the time - in Universities, in schools, in the U.S. Congress, in families and churches; and a lot of companies. Honest discussion, freedom of expression, breaks down and people turn to plots and personal agendas. Maybe this is the best clue to future success or failure. I would invest in firms, or societies where there is open discussion of the issues.

What happened to Apple was not mainly problems with markets and technology but cultural.
There is no magic from the great CEO from above - some great idea or certain magic leader .. but a social system. Apple was a great place that was (almost) destroyed by people who didn't understand or care about relationships.

The Sense and reality of Control:

Many, if not most people, believe they can not control who they are - they believe they are what they are and can't change their basic character or personality.
We can control the inside more than we can control the outside; so our ( Western ) belief system is in constant conflict with external reality. In the grand scheme of things, we mainly really only control our beliefs about reality and our attitudes about what we can do about our future.
The art of "success" is the faith in the future, and our attitude:
Going with the flow…not in a passive way but proactive get us down stream. It is going along with the reality of ourselves and the world around us in order to get along with ourselves and the world around us. It releases energy if we are in the main stream rather that fighting the flow of energy in self conflict. Fighting with reality because the world is NOT what we think it is, is a childish waste of time and kind of crazy in grown-ups.

Many people, if not most people, believe they can and are responsible to control the world around them.
They know a lot of things are "out of control" but they maintain a belief in control. This is what it is "a belief". It causes a lot of frustration and tension.

The future does not exist. We can control our beliefs about who we are and where we fit in. We are 100 "selves" parent, worker, economic, political, romantic, soldier, sailor, beggar, thief, saint and sinner, and 88 more including a god. We can select from these selves those that will get us what we want and need. We can also select our wants and needs to fit what we can get.

Great opportunities for a few Million good people

Microsoft scours world for employees.

US software giant Microsoft has announced plans to increase its US workforce by 19 per cent over the next 12 months, maintaining the west coast of America as 'the centre of the universe for the software business'.
The company plans to recruit 3,600 people, many of whom will come from outside the US due to a shortage of good software developers in the States.
The Independent, UK. 18/07/97

There is a current shortfall of 250,000 IT positions in the US costing billions of dollars

MS great idea was not technological but social.

They collected people and created synergy. What Microsoft has is not only a great leadership but 1000's of motivated and talented creators.
They hired "people" and then found how they fit in - they didn't create positions and try to fit people into jobs.

It's the culture stupid.
The shift is from material resources to human talents.

Going with the flow of the changes over the next 15 years:

The Western ( white ) Industrial world is likely to decline in relative terms from two thirds of Global Product (WGP) to 45 %. China will move from underdeveloped to developing, from less than a $1,000 PCP ( per capita product ) to over $5,000 ( in current dollars ).
The developing world will grow from one third of the Global economy to about half. Social, political power follows economic so the Global Center of Cultural Gravity shifts from the Middle East and Asia in the 15th century to Europe to America in the 20th century and from America back to Asia in the 21st century.

The second change is why the first is happening - the third wave is technology, first was Agriculture from 6,000 BC to modern times, second was Industrial, the third is

IT

Information Technology which is already our biggest business. IT, computers and telecommunication is bigger than transportation, construction even government.
The reason for growth without inflation is the major shift in the means of production and distribution. Traditional economic models based on physical assets and goods ( agriculture, mining, manufacturing, wholesale and retail ) factory utilization, inventory miss the changing picture of reality. Even
The Federal Reserve ( Greenspan ) has noticed the shift in economic activity.
They feel productivity of IT is having a important effect but aren't sure how IT effects the basic economic structure.

The means of production are now intellectual, value is distribution by services such as educational, medical, financial, design, media, telecommunications, electrical, and involve global relationships.
The shift is from "objects" to "forms", from things to concepts and ideas. A big shift, example, best explained by Fritjoe Capra in physics and Kevin Kelly in Biology Living.htm see also book.htm

MISSION:

The mission of the synergy network is to explore the range of

IT

- Information Technology.
The special talent of the human species is
IT
Information Transfer -
The CATCH-ON factor (Allen Wilson).
Skills training started with better tools in stone, in metal, in hunting and fishing. With agriculture knowledge came organizational ability - SYNERGY - getting more from the group than the sum of the parts.
The MARS adventure is a wonderful example of team work, communications, shared hopes and benefits. SOMEHOW the internet should add to synergy, see packets, to the numbers who catch-on.
IT
has always taken more than just information.
There has to be an emotional base, ability to change - to see in new ways - to be open to new experiences.
There are enought clues on the Wiredbrain for those who are interested. Those who are not interested there is no way of meaningful communications. PATHOS = caring - having the interest and doing something. What we value is what we do, not what we say. LOGOS = information, knowledge - the subject itself. ETHOS = what do we do with
IT
? KNOWLEDGE = information + understanding, being a different person doing things in a different style.
The human synergy shortage in
IT,
is costing companies about $660 billion a year.
The Synergy site style is designed to conform and reinforce the learning systems of
IT. For example:
