After reading, "Disrupting Hell: Accountability for the Non-believer"
by Professor Clayton M. Christensen, Craig Hatkoff and Rabbi Irwin Kula posted to the Off White Papers, I had to comment, however, I do not think that comment went through.
That was a let down but then I remembered this little blog of mine and decided to pop it here. As the fashionRIP Project has matured and changed it is still as a representation, a portrait of an amorrphic construct, it makes sense it is a window from a specific angle, necessary in fathoming that new big picture. Please read the article here:
what we see changes what we see
what we see changes what we see
“We argue that without a strong moral and
ethical foundation civilization’s prospects for peace and prosperity will
remain elusive and at some point simply founder.” (Disrupting Hell)
In the floundering and the chaos, she found her
path. She broke the spell and a new day dawned. *
Civilization appears to be floundering, but
not for want of a set of rigid rules or a belief package that is authored to
power over others. The old default pattern of evolution (hierarchical
organization) did its part but is no longer adequate. Our species survived, and
our consciousness grew. That is the key, the gift we inherited. We now have the
knowledge we need to be as the heroes we created.
In all the scuffling and churning, the breeding
and yearning, the human being has arrived. Perhaps our species has entered the
TimeSpace moment it was
seeking. We are at the threshold of a great new
beginning if we choose to accept the challenge. That challenge involves a
breaking from the past, not with anger and blame, but with understanding and appreciation.
This is about facing truth and embracing emotions. We will grow when we accept
who we really are, as individuals, as cultures, as a species.
Human ego claimed dominance over the six Biological
Kingdoms of Life; God bless those Victorians! Now that metaphor looks dated, immature
and simplistic. Food chains are webs, bodies are ecosystems, there are multiple
alternatives to everything and though that buggers the old ideology, it is good
for us.
What happens if you visualize your life in a
vast entangled field of energy, no marked rigid ups or downs, but with an
exuberance of flow and transition? Here is where the life spark (observed when
sperm enters egg in utero) takes on new meaning. It translates into a
connected, interrelated, synchronistic, energetic story of being and doing
human in a vast realm of all life.
It explains the value of diversity and
relativity, respects the social commons, embraces the gender spectrum, handles intricate
nuances, deep roots and validates love. It sets up a broad narrative that explains
the past and present, while it opens the future for a leap, not just another
iteration. It is here that everyone’s unique potential really does matter. Imagine.
It is science backed, (replicable) yet retains
the joy of the one-off, the special aha, the sensorial experience of each TimeSpace
moment. I think we are poised to launch this new story from the whole of that
which has gone before. I have been assembling an amorphic yet detailed outline,
a pool of data and research that can be placed into many formats, but the sum also
matters. Like natural evolution, it is a process open to infinite input (a rational
form of growth) and it requires others to flourish. It fits the super reality
of micro to macro and vice versa, it crosses lifelines, it is “teachable” and do-able
in projects. It is an experiment in the greater possibility, of the individual
and the collective; the juxtapose is relevant.
So that’s a synopsis. I have volumes of notes and stories. It is helpful to riff off others as this is not well framed by old formats and i have found that too much at once is Too Much and people run away.
