At the Quantum level we Live in a Universe City

Ontario is a First Nations' word meaning sunlight sparkling and dancing on the waves of lakes, like millions of points of light.  As we are finding out, quantum waveforms from our surroundings, together with our quantum waveform aspects, extend everywhere as fields of possibility.

We had possibilities scintillating in the Columbus Centre boardroom during our Social Creator Network and Universe City gathering on the evening of January 27, 2016.  We featured Lina Razgaitis, a pain and stress specialist, who routinely produces 32-page reports on the current health of Earth's biology out of concern and for her own interest.

For us to look at any claims about quantum technology devices, (that may otherwise boggle the mind or make eyes roll), we had biophysicist, Dr. John Stewart present in a support role for the group.  He specializes in the physics of biological organisms.

About 45 people, early-to-bed folk and night owls, swam through our discussion of how, at the quantum level, Toronto is a series of waveforms that interpenetrates the waveforms of Lake Ontario.  On the quantum level, we are part of life in Lake Ontario. 

Waveforms of life in Toronto and Lake Ontario do not end locally – they extend throughout the Universe. We saw graphs that summarized over 11,000 measures.  These verified that Toronto is a Universe City physically integrated into the rest of creation.

The multicultural crowd included a biophysicist, Japanese culture teacher, ecological artist, Taiwanese massage therapist, troubadour, stem cell researcher, billionaire, jewelry maker, and several proud parents.  After eight years, we've been able to gather a rich diversity of perspectives. 

Our intention is for each of us to feel supported in gaining more advanced perspectives on our lives, building bridges between various forms of understanding that are associated with left brain, right brain and fore brain neural activity.  Our strategies include listening to each others perspectives with respect.
  
We want to be able to take what we learn to help us achieve outstanding results between sessions.  

When I left at 11.30 p.m., twelve of us still talking.  The night security guy smiled and said, "You talked about strange things tonight".  Perhaps it was unusual for him to experience the quantum waves out of which we appear radiating down the hallway from the boardroom.  Who knows? 

It was late and I hesitated to say to him that we can now measure our everyday experience because everything is essentially a set of frequencies within waveforms. 

I didn't want to discuss how he and I were intimately entangled in a web of inter-relationships and consequences that extends across the Universe.   

Instead, I smiled back, said, "Thank you.  And, good night."

The remaining participants finally left at 12.15 a.m.

An article that summarizes and extends the Social Creator discussion that night will be available at our upcoming evenings.  

Its interesting that what I learned during the gathering later helped me understand a birthday suit dream I had in 1989.   

Everyone seems to dream about being naked.  But this was not like that.

In the dream I wear a suit and stand in a room waiting.  I pee into a grid in the floor on the North side of the room. 

Three women enter from the East side.  They face one another and quickly discuss my situation before one motions to me and I follow her. 

We eventually walk through a town.  It’s gloomy and around dawn.  

We are free to move but the few people walking past us follow cords that pass front-and-back through the middle of their chests.  Each cord stretches for blocks, constraining movements but probably allowing them to venture off a set path before the cord gets tight and creates stress in their hearts.

She takes me to outside a house.  I turn to face her as the four corners of the entire scene lift and curl over like a table cloth.  The passers-by, the houses, her form against the horizon and distant hills, everything in that town and beyond, scrunches itself into a ball that centres on my heart and encloses me. 

My entire vision goes black. 

I'm instantly inside the ball of that prior reality, pushing against pressure from supple walls.  I'm experiencing entry into life down the birth canal during that extreme initiation we call birth. 

It is my birthday.  She had taken me to where my future family lives. 

She is my soul aspect or anima.  She is literally what animates me.  

I only see representations of her in dreams.  But from then on she, and everything else from that world, resides inside of me.

Even if you were not physically present at the Columbus Centre, and were 'outside' somewhere across the horizon, we can accept that you interpenetrated the boardroom and were an integral part of the evening.  Thank you.

Changing to a Culture of Mutual Fulfillment

We are all heavily influenced by the various cultures we move within and perpetuate: corporate culture, industrial  culture, popular culture, media culture, school culture - you name it.  Cultural activity is ongoing at the office, in factories, homes, and schools.  This activity reinforces what we believe, think, do - and ultimately, what we have been taught to value.

There is a crisis in society currently.  So many of the things we have been programmed to like and want can be immediately satisfying but we soon find that these things do not fulfill our longings.  This crisis can be addressed as we change the culture.

In the same year as the first moon landing, Swiss philosopher and child psychologist, Jean Piaget said -

"The principle goal of education is to create men (sic) who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done."  

So education is key to breaking from our programmed behaviour instilled in us by the dominant cultures.  The goal of education can be to get us outside or 'see beyond' our cultural conditioning.

The tendency in institutions when changing a culture is to focus on, or emphasize instilling new values in people.  People are instructed on 'how to place more value' on things that were less important to the institution in the past.

However, different values are somehow registered in the heart of each individual.  We formulate our values, perhaps based on individual life experiences or heart-felt longings from childhood.

No-one can dictate what we value and the longings that we strive to fulfill.  We can only agree to promote or espouse values that we may not actually hold deep within us.  We can talk in terms of values we don;t necessarily hold if we want to justify establishing new goals and strategies.

There is little evidence of education fulfilling the goal of changing the industrial culture of the 20th century.  Offices and schools are still run like factories within an industrial production line culture.

Offices and schools are still laid out with separate facilities depending in what someone decides should be produced there - a product, service, or a young mind.  Each facility is run based on different standards of what is acceptable not what is going on in our hearts.

To make a shift in a culture we change our habits of thinking and our observable habits in terms of how we interact with others.  We also positively influence the effects that a prevailing culture has on us by changing the physical surroundings where we learn and do things. 

Within effective approaches to cultural change we observe a cycle of steps (a, b, c, d, a, b...):

b. Beliefs

                                                 a. Habits                            c. Heart-felt values

d. Physical
surroundings

This goes against the traditional approach of starting with c, focusing on changing other people's values.  This is instruction, literally 'to strike', 'build with' or in order to impose or leave a deep impression.  It comes from Middle English, and from Latin in- + struere to build.

We influence or change a culture when we begin to focus on our habits.  This means looking at beliefs that we take for granted.  Hence the important role of eduction which literally means to educe or draw from within, or from 'our hearts'.

The more we focus on our habits the more likely we are to examine our beliefs.

To change our habits, first we examine why we are doing things.  For example, in education, endless attention is given to deciding how we educate ourselves.  Little if any time is spent on time questioning why we educate ourselves.

Are we educating ourselves to prepare for fully benefiting from today's economies, or are we still caught up in the old manufacturing economy?  Is education meant to promote making healthful food choices and well being?  Is it to make ourselves resourceful and imaginative people?

d. What kind of physical surroundings would contribute to questioning our habits in terms of why we do the things we do?

a. What kind of new habits in education can draw out our current beliefs?

b. What new understanding can support getting in touch with our heart-felt values?

c. How can we find people who share individual values and express them within our surroundings in ways that remind us to adopt new heart-felt habits.

Is this how we develop a culture of mutual fulfillment in our lives rather than short-term satisfaction.

Don't look to Governments for a Recovery

The real and timely solutions to our problems reside within local communities.  Let's take a look at why this seems to increasingly be the case.

Governments are not well positioned to handle the details of each person’s life needs.  Challenges to providing meaningful and well paid work for educated people go unmet. 

To address issues of economic recovery we have to include community in the mix.  Perhaps this is because a local community is better positioned to supply what is necessary when people are in-between jobs, in distress, or simply wanting to be pro-active and discover a new way of being in the world. 

Why meet to address the needs of the government when we could be addressing the needs of societies where governments are increasingly powerless to effect the necessary change?  It’s relatively difficult for institutions to think and act differently so as to allow us to turn things around. It would be illegal for governments to spend tax-payers’ money, held in trust, to move towards outcomes that are not understood ahead of time. 


Money and effort must be in service to an outcome that is readily broken down into clearly defined objectives.  However those days are probably over. 


When a government insists on clearly defined outcomes it does not help society.  This means that we cannot limit ourselves to project management.  Therefore creativity is difficult for a society reliant on leadership through representation.  Creativity is required when we are dealing with probabilities and do not know outcomes before we start.

Why not work together creatively as individuals, in ways that increase the possibilities of recovery?

It is only when an individual determines what is fulfilling that he or she feels motivated to act.  It is only when we ask questions we want answered that we maximize our chances of figuring out what will work and outperform, in terms of effectiveness, what is currently in place. 

The real tragedy in all this is that authoritarian forms of government distract us.  We continue to delay personal introspection and therefore our prospects of making the adaptations we need to make.  

We need to change as individuals.  We can produce items and services that contribute to whatever kind of society it is that we want to live in.  No-one has to know ahead of time what that society, or mix of societies will look like.  

Leadership from the top! At last. And its from the bottom

Our most complex challenges can be addressed by working together in community.
Finally its evident that some folk in Washington looked into real ways in which we can adapt to the huge challenges we face.  

Leadership is coming from the bottom and needs to be encouraged.

The White House Council for Community Solutions was established by President Obama in December 2010 to share creative ideas and collaborative approaches for building healthy communities across

America.

One of its two key priorities is that, "Every American community will have the knowledge and tools at hand to create successful local "collaboratives" that are designed to catalyze large-scale change and address their most pressing community challenges."

The Council has just released three resources, the foundational one being the Community Collaboratives Whitepaper.

I don't think the word 'solutions' is the limit of what communities can provide.  Solutions are often a way to put off the inevitable need to 'adapt to reality', often referred to as 'evolving as a species'.  

Evolution requires innovation, creativity and soul searching.  Soul searching leads to aligning with higher values such as compassion.  Movements have soul or 'anima'.  Soul that animates  movements is missing from institutions.  Expressive movements that encourage self-directed action among participants are an evolutionary response we can all welcome.
