The innovator's destiny

There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new order of things.
Whenever his enemies have the ability to attack the innovator they do so with the passion of partisans, while the others defend him sluggishly, so that the innovator and his party alike are vulnerable.

(Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince)

Give us one free miracle and we'll explain the rest

The most common belief is that all the laws of nature were completely fixed at the moment of the Big-Bang. As Terence McKenna pointed out, modern science is based on the principle "Give us one free miracle and we'll explain the rest". The one free miracle is the appearance of all the matter and energy in the universe and all the laws that govern it from nothing, in a single instant.

Controversy about dogmatic position of science regarding Consciousness

This talk given by Rupert Sheldrake at TEDx Whitechapel in London on 12th January 2013 on challenging existing paradigms, particularly with regard to the role of consciousness, has been banned from the official TEDx site.

(original YouTube video)

The decision to ban this TEDx talk has caused a lively debate on the internet about how dogmatic mainstream science actually is. Learn more about this controversy from the following subsequent interview with Rupert Sheldrake on www.Skeptiko.com.

Camouflage - See the Octopus

An Octopus can change its skin texture and color.

• It has fine control of its skin to control the bumpiness whereby it matches its skin dimensionality by sight.
• The squid skin has dots of chromatophores (=pigment-containing and light-reflecting organelles in cells), which can change shape to change the predominant skin color (each spot can expand its diameter up to 15 times). An Octopus is capable of creating color-match patterns although being color-blind.

Camouflage means fooling whatever is looking at you, which suggests that we are behind the 8-ball if we think the world looks like how we see it. There is much more information there and other animals see it very differently.

Global Meritocratic Plutocracy

Click here if you'd like to find the video on YouTube.

We live in an era of surging income inequality.

• In the 1970's: 1,0% of US population represented 10% of national income.
• Today: 1,0% of US population represents >20% of national income.
• Today: 0,1% of US population represents >8% of national income.

• In 2005 the combined wealth of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett was the same as the combined wealth of the bottom 40% of US population (120 million people).

Whilst this effect is particularly strong in the US and UK, surging income inequality is a global phenomenon. It is the result of a meritocratic (= performance-oriented) plutocracy (= society ruled and dominated by the small minority of the top wealthiest citizens) fueled by political factors (e.g. lower taxes, deregulation of financial services, privatization) and economic drivers (e.g. globalization, technological revolution).

• Meritocratic plutocracy easily becomes crony capitalism ("Vetternwirtschaft")
  People start to use their economic wealth to manipulate the rules of the global political economy in their favor (e.g. Amazon, Apple, Google, Starbucks are particularly adapt at working the international tax system to lower their tax bill very significantly). Once people have the economic power and the political power that comes with it, they are tempted to start trying to change the rules of the game in their own favor (e.g. Russian oligarchs created the sale and privatization of Russian's resources; deregulation of the financial services in the US and UK).
• Meritocratic plutocracy easily becomes aristocracy
  Plutocrats are aware how important highly sophisticated analytical and quantitative skills are in todays economy. They therefore spend unprecedented time and resources educating their children, widening the educational gap within society. This results in "The Great Gatsby Curve" shown by Alan Krueger and Miles Corak. As income inequality increases, intergenerational social mobility (= likelihood that someone will be able to reach a different (better) income level relative to their parents) decreases. You have to be born in the top part of that ladder to take part in that race.
• These forces hollow out the middle class in western industrialized economies
  Globalization raises many people out of poverty in the emerging markets, whilst it is outsourcing a lot of jobs from the developed western economies. And, in contrast with the industrial revolution, the new technology economy is not creating that many new jobs (e.g. General Motors employed hundreds of thousands, whilst Facebook employs less than 10.000 people).

It is more uncomfortable to think about how the income pie is sliced than to think about how to make it bigger.

There is no economic rule which automatically translates increased economic growth into widely shared prosperity.

Since the late 1990's increases in productivity have been decoupled from increases in wages and employment. Our countries are getting richer, our companies are getting more efficient, but we are not creating more jobs and we are not paying people as a whole more.

Acceleration toward the Law of One

To produce an acceleration toward the Law of One, the following practices and exercises should be performed:

• Exercise One: The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion of density. The exercise is to consciously see that love in awareness and understanding.
• Exercise Two: The universe is one being. When a mind/body/spirit complex views another mind/body/spirit complex, see the Creator.
• Exercise Three: Gaze within the mirror. See the Creator.
• Exercise Four: Gaze at the creation which lies about the mind/body/spirit complex of each entity. See the Creator.

The foundation of these exercises is an inclination towards meditation, contemplation, or prayer. With such an attitude, these exercises can be processed; without it, the data will not sink down into the roots of the tree of mind, thus enabling and ennobling the body and touching the spirit.

Healing and the Law of One

The Law of One may be approximated by stating that all things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity. All is one, and that one is love/light, light/love, the Infinite Creator.

Healing occurs when a mind/body/spirit complex realizes, deep within itself, the Law of One. There is no disharmony, no imperfection; all is complete and whole and perfect. Thus, the intelligent infinity within this mind/body/spirit complex re-forms the (illusion of) body, mind, spirit to be a form congruent with the Law of One. The healing/working is a form of channeling intelligent infinity whereby the healer acts as energizer or catalyst for this completely individual process.

To learn healing it is necessary to first purify the self by certain disciplines and exercises. Those who seek to serve others and are willing to be trained in thought, word, and action are those who will be able to comfortably maintain service in the area of healing. There are three teachings/learnings to become effective healers:


1. Learning/teaching of the mind: We begin with the mental learn/teaching necessary for contact with intelligent infinity. The mind must know itself. Consciousness is the microcosm of the Law of One. The prerequisite of mental work is the ability to retain silence of self at a steady state when required by the self. The mind must be opened like a door. The key is silence. Within this door lies a quite regular hierarchical construction, bearing inner relationships.

• First mental discipline: To begin to master the concept of mental disciplines it it necessary to examine the self. The polarity of your dimension must be internalized. Where you find patience within your mind you must consciously find the corresponding impatience and vice versa. Each thought a being has, has in its turn an antithesis. The disciplines of the mind involve first identifying both, those things which you approve and those things which you disapprove within yourself. The disciplines of mind then involve balancing each and every positive and negative charge with its equal. The mind contains all things. Therefore you must discover the completeness within yourself.
• Second mental discipline: The second mental discipline is the acceptance of the completeness in your consciousness. It is not for a being of polarity in the physical consciousness to pick and chose among attributes, thus building the roles that cause blockages and confusions in the already distorted mind complex. Each acceptance smooths part of the many distortions judgement engenders.
• Third mental discipline: The third discipline of the mind is a repetition of the first, but with a gaze outward toward the fellow entities that it meets. In each entity there exists completeness. Thus, the ability to understand each balance is necessary. When you view patience, you are responsible for mirroring in your mental understandings, patience/impatience. When you view impatience, it is necessary for your mental configuration of understanding to be impatience/patience. Most configurations of mind have many facets, and understanding of either self-polarities or other-self-polarities, can and must be understood as subtle work.
• Fourth mental discipline: The next step is the acceptance of the other-self polarities, which mirrors the second step.
• Fifth mental discipline: The fifth step involves observing the geographical and geometrical relationships and ratios of the mind, the other mind, the mass mind, and the infinite mind.

2. Learning/Teaching of the body: It is necessary to know your body well. Imagine the more dense aspects of the body and from there proceed to the very finest knowledge of energy pattern which revolve and cause the body to be energized. All natural functions of the body have all aspects from dense to fine. It is a matter of using the mind to examine how the feelings and emotions affect various portions of the body complex. It shall be necessary to both, understand the bodily polarity and to accept them. By that you are repeating in a chemical/physical manifestation the work you have done upon the mind bethinking the consciousness (see learning/teaching of the mind).

• First understanding of the body: The body is a creature of the mind's creation. It has its biases. The biological bias must be first completely understood and then the opposite bias allowed to find full expression in understanding. (similar to first mental discipline)
• Second understanding of the body: Again, the process of acceptance of the body as a balanced - as well as polarized - individual may then be accomplished. (similar to second mental discipline) The simplest example of this is the understanding that each biological male is female and that each biological female is male. This is a simple example. However, in almost every case wherein you are attempting the understanding of the body, you will again find that the most subtle discernment is necessary in order to fully grasp the polarity complexes involved.
• Third understanding of the body: It is then the task to extend this understanding of the bodies of the other-selves whom you will meet. (similar to third & fourth mental discipline)

3. Learning/Teaching of the spirit: The third area of learning/teaching is the spiritual complex which embodies the fields of force and consciousness. The spiritual area connects the body and mind with the intelligent infinity. Imagine the function of the magnet. The magnet has two poles - one reaches up, the other one goes down. The function of the spirit is to integrate the up-reaching yearning of the mind/body energy with the down-pouring and streaming of infinite intelligence. The exploration and balancing of the spirit complex is indeed the longest and most subtle part of the learning/teaching.

The mind controls the body. With the mind single-pointed, balanced, and aware (see above learning/teaching of the mind), and with the body comfortably balanced (see above learning/teaching of the body), the entity (instrument, person) is then ready to proceed with the greater work.

The spiritual body energy field is a pathway, or channel. When body and mind are receptive and open, then the spirit can become a functioning shuttle or communicator from the entity's individual energy/will upwards, and from the streaming of the creative fire and wind downwards.

The healing ability, like all other paranormal abilities, is affected by the opening of a pathway or shuttle into intelligent infinity. Many have a random hole or gateway in their spirit energy field, sometimes created by the ingestion of chemicals such as LSD. Those can only randomly and without control tap into energy sources.

The purpose of carefully and consciously opening this spiritual channel is to serve in a more dependable and a more usual way. What is ordinary and as it should be for the one who has carefully opened the door to intelligent infinity may, appear as miracles to others. The life experience becomes transformed and the great work goes on.
