Toward a World that Works for Everyone
I’m wrestling with problems of global discourse. Why? I believe I’m being guided in that direction. It arose because I was contemplating evil – pedophilia, adrenochrome, child sacrifice…. Nice things to be thinking about at 5 am. To make a long story short, I came to see at a deeper and deeper level that I […]
As I approach the study of our culture as a planet, I begin to think about the subject in ways I’m familiar with – cultural universals, alternatives, specialties, and idiosyncracies; folk culture, popular culture – and right away, I find myself asking myself, is this what’s meant by Nova Culture? Doesn’t this approach to culture […]
Culturally speaking, “New Years Day” works as a function of agreement. Steady. Better take this sitting down if you celebrated too much last night! You and I agree that today is New Years Day and develop a cultural bubble around it. On New Years Day, we sleep in. On New Years Day, we make resolutions. […]
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) Which brings me to my point. We’re always creating culture. But we need to understand what we’re creating and reparent ourselves if we don’t like what we see. The overall context for this is that we’re in the middle of a planetary consciousness shift and so we need to have […]
I’d like to talk more about culture because what we share in common is that we lightworkers are building Nova Earth and that means building Nova Culture. What is culture. The other day I said it was ideas, not behavior or artifacts. Can I illustrate culture creation and transmission? Let’s see….. Let’s say you come […]
(Concluded from Part 1, yesterday.) How is culture studied? There isn’t room here to go over more than one perspective: Anthropologist Leslie White, in what was for me a ground-breaking study, (1) distinguished three ways of studying phenomena, cultural or otherwise. The historical/biographical/ethnographic, which is what I write on the blog; discrete events in discrete […]
As you know, I trained as a cultural historian and sociologist. In spirituality I follow awareness and love, but my research link with the world is as a student of culture. Interestingly, the tools of the historian and the sociologist hold less and less relevance for me over time. But the notion of culture is […]
Two questions arise that seem to determine peace or war, an end to the cycle or one more turn of the wheel of human suffering: (1) How far do we wish to go? (2) Under what conditions would we stop? (1) People who want to control the world – or the better part of it […]
Any consideration of higher-dimensional life has to start and end with love. Any consideration of global culture, I would think the same. If we were to fill a hundred balloons with air, we’d have artificially cut off the air inside from the air outside. But that hasn’t made the air inside different from that outside. […]
The time is approaching when we’re going to need to have global conversations. The very same year that I began conversations with Archangel Michael, he told me: AAM: You have known that the time would come when we would ask you to work very much on a very global level. And this is the beginning […]
