The Science of Intention

We are very pleased to have as our speaker for the February 24th gathering, biophysicist, Dr. John Stewart of Biophysica Inc, who specializes in the physics of biological organisms, water purification, and intention.
John will share with us how we are all producing results due to our intentions, and some of the physics behind this phenomenon.
 
One resource that John provides is a website on radionics and the principles of quantum physics:

Click the following link to another resource that John provides, a series of TV shows on Divine Physics.

It appears that our bodies and surroundings are embedded in an invisible matrix that are more fundamental or real than the physical universe.  


At least ten dimensions have been theorized in string theory and also by physicists Dr William Tiller, Dr Ervin Laszlo, Dr Dean Radin, and Dr Glen Rein.  These dimensions may be familiar to some of us through studies in ancient wisdom, including Kabbalah. We engage in some of these dimensions by combining intention with business planning, cooking, eating, etc.  


For us to look at any claims about what we can achieve through intention, quantum physics, and other dimensions, we have asked Dr Ken Adams, medical doctor and genetic researcher, to be present in a support role for the group.


Date and time:  Wednesday February 24, 2016 from 7 to 9pm. 
Location: Columbus Centre, Toronto's Italian community's cultural centre, 901 Lawrence Ave West, two buildings west of Dufferin.  Ask for the room number at the front desk.
Columbus Centre is conveniently located near Highway 401, and the Spadina subway (a 10 minute walk or short bus ride from Lawrence West subway station).

This free and catered event is held in conjunction with Universe City of Toronto.  Check out the section called 'Courses'.  For those who are able to contribute, we ask for financial donations or educational services in support of Universe City programming. 
We will expand Universe City as a place to go and get the skills and experience we need for today's economy. 

Universe City is organized in seven movements.  One movement is about Innovative Facilities in neighbourhoods.

We like to break-out into small groups of 3 or 4 people to discuss and help digest what we heard, and what this means to us individually.  We also use these smaller groups to assess whether use of intention is advantageous for the health of neighbourhoods and how we go about setting up programs that use this kind of technology.
 
We look forward to getting together with like-hearted individuals. 

Let Nick D'Aleandro or I know if you plan to attend.  Bring a friend.

What happens after the World Economic Collapse in 2008?

You probably missed news of evidence of massive bank fraud if you only follow the mainstream media.  We will never understand what happened when the world's economy almost tanked in 2008 and ruined so many lives unless we turn to other sources. 

Banks have paid huge fines to stay out of court and stop the rest of us finding out about their actions. 


A Canadian woman, Alayne Fleischmann, gave an exclusive interview on DemocracyNow.com.  She is the whistleblower who helped the Justice Department of the US make JPMorgan Chase pay one of the largest fines in U.S. history for its role in the world economic financial crisis.

http://www.democracynow.org/2015/1/1/matt_taibbi_and_the_9_billion


The Rolling Stone article they refer to is at:

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-9-billion-witness-20141106

No-one at any of the banks has been prosecuted.  We could conclude that the Department of Justice never really went after the people who practically wrecked the world economy.

Eric Holder, as head of the US Justice Department, justified his forgiving attitude towards banks when testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2013, by suggesting some banks are "too big to jail." 

The bank that Alayne Fleischmann worked for seems unchanged.  The board of JPMorgan Chase gave their CEO a 75% salary increase after the collapse.


After so many people lost their homes, powerful people in government felt the need to help banks keep news and evidence of vast banking fraud away from the public. In the DemocracyNow,com interview we hear that Eric Holder used to work for a legal firm which had JPMorgan Chase as a client.  He worked his way up from being a corporate lawyer defending companies like JPMorgan Chase before becoming head of the Justice Department.

We now know that the main message Occupy Wall Street had to offer us, about the way the world is run, has proven correct. In the DemocracyNow,com interview we hear that a Wall Street CEO can phone the head of the Justice Department and ask for favours, like not prosecuting, and negotiating getting help with hushing things up if there were massive fraud.

Should we be thankful that the government did not aggravate a bad situation?  In the DemocracyNow.com interview, reporter Matt Taibbi goes through reasonable courses of action the Justice Department could have taken but decided not to.

Eric Holder was severely criticized for his statement on "too big" to even prosecute let alone jail. 

He resigned from the US Justice Department in September 2014.  Obama said that Holder served the people well.

So how do we begin to live with this news?  Do we resolve this within ourselves by looking for whose naughty and whose nice?

Mainstream media work are a big part of this story.  In a big media company we work together at a similar steady and reliable pace as the rest of business and governance as we have known it.  A lot of emphasis is put on 'naughty and nice'. 

Naughty is coming to mean the same thing as 'disruptive'.  Some of us operate at a pace that the rest of us find disruptive.  Yet the future of our economies has depended on disrupting what went before.

So naughty has become an issue of pace of operation.  In some parts of society pace of operation or functioning is called 'frequency'.



Creation exists as a long series of stages within a larger evolutionary progression.  Specific people and animals are representative of each stage.   

Collectively the entire range of stages has introduced and extended higher functioning into the material dimension including worldly events. 

Each stage works, much like an electrical transformer, to reduce the frequency of vibrations.  The frequency at which each creature functions and operates is either suited to that creature or the creature cannot be sustained within the larger being we call Life.  

A person will get ill and die relatively early if they operate at a frequency that disagrees with them.   

No-one can make a person that is able to thrive wrong.  We learn to live with what others do without denying the reality of the situation.

People used to learn to live by imposing fear and intimidation on one another.   As a way of daily functioning this caveman or clan-like mentality is very low on the scale.  

The vast majority of us are happy to live beyond that level of functioning.  It is a familiar reaction to rationalize wanting to lash out at others in the face of overwhelming emotions.  Today we recognize this is only a defense mechanism that buffers the immediate shock.

Then there is the stage of negotiating when the reality and the pain that goes with it re-emerge.  We use some form of logic to justify what we do.  The intense emotion is deflected from our vulnerable core.  We redirect or 'project' the emotion of anger on to others even complete strangers when we have no idea what motivates their actions.

Many in the Occupy movement were concerned citizens.  They wanted us all to stop for a while and learn a more functional way of living with one another. 

I like to discuss higher levels of functioning on another website:  betaDigest.wordpress.com.

Neighbourhood Campuses update

We had the first of our pre-launch parties for the Neighbourhood Campuses on October 18. 

It was a special salon with socializing, food, fun, sharing of ideas and news of gestating the trillion-dollar holistic framework I developed for neighbourhoods over the years - starting at Yonge-Wellesley in downtown Toronto.  I presented a comparison of old-style business based on project management, and business that includes flow - Ecstatic Business Practices - or EBP.

Fellow originators of the Yonge-Wellesley campus, Miss Suzette and Ava Goodman gave us a taste of what a more creative and fulfilling neighbourhoods will be like. 
There were very soulful live musical numbers by the incomparable Ethelrida Zabala-Laxa of WISER International.

An enthusiastic, Norman Waite of the local neighbourhood association (Bay Cloverhill Community Association, or BCCA) welcomed everyone and shared some local news of breakthroughs regarding a local park on publicly-held land.  He promised to be our biggest fan and to promote awareness of the Neighbourhood Campus Norman also offered us a table at the neighbourhood's annual general meeting on November 14, 2012.  This event, held at the YMCA, will attract over 100 of our local movers-and-shakers.

A huge thank you to our gracious volunteers, Adam, Alfredo, Diane, Marie, and Paul for video, greeting, registration, dishes, food service, photography, clean-up.  You name it, and they were able to deliver.

Thank you to 6 St. Joseph House for providing the venue and refreshments.  Our other local business partners, Biryani House and Freshslice Pizza, received a rousing applause when we thanked them for the food. 

Outcomes:
We now have proposals for courses for children and adults, in computer assembly kits (Arduino,) and robotics, stop-motion animation for cinema, plus offers for sessions in creative writing, drawing and sculpture.

We announced offers by participants that evening who wanted to supply venues for upcoming courses free of charge.  In this way we can present the salon in new neighbourhoods - Yorkville-St Jamestown, and Lawrence-Dufferin. 

We have been referred to someone at the University of Toronto who may book us into additional venues for upcoming courses. 

And representatives from other neighbourhoods who attended are excited and will be getting back to us with opportunities in their areas.

We don't know how things could have gone any better, but we will try at our upcoming salons in November and December.

The Future is Unclear. Adapt accordingly.

It’s easy for governments to ignore issues surrounding creativity and the mounting significance that heart-felt individual action takes in terms of our socio-economic future together.  Outside-the-box, creative, or values-based thinking is readily discouraged even though it is essential for dealing with areas that remain unclear and in the realms of probability, such as our future. 


True, there`s some interest in better ways of getting things done. Governments will continue to ask people to pitch in, and 'submit your ideas'.  Perhaps government employees see themselves as encouraging participation, of switching to a more `participative' style of government.  However participation is directed rather than facilitated.  

The familiar authoritarian style is also perpetuated by this wonderful capacity governments have of setting the questions ahead of time.  Allowing participants to define the terms of a discussion is not an option.  Every question,  every review, every national commission, is phrased into existence based on the solidified and dogmatic assumption that our representatives are there to lead the way to fulfilling needs in each and every situation.  


Nothing can change when government representatives define the terms for a discussion of our great rethinking and our great reworking.  Because of how things are set up for us we can confine ourselves to giving input and contributing in ways that won`t work.
