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.

Cheap solutions to world problems - Plasma Energy Power Units

We will be hearing more about a ‘Plasma Energy Power Unit' designed by Keshe Foundation.  We will read about it on the internet - but maybe not in the mainstream media.  

These 'world-changing' units are designed  to be affordable. For about $200 a home can generate power and be less reliant on power companies. For those who cannot afford the unit funding will be available from many sources, especially in the developing countries.

A unit will maintain a heating system and cooling system in our homes. A consistent room temperature will be available no matter how hot or cold it is outside.  Units will also be available for cars therefore also saving us thousands of dollars in fuel costs. 

The Keshe Foundation was started by Professor Mehran Tavakoli Keshe, an Iranian plasma physicist and nuclear scientist. It has offices in China and California.

He also started Keshe Foundation Spaceship Institute, or KF SSI, located in Bari, Italy. It was set up to teach industry, organizations, and individuals, how to develop systems and technologies based on the Keshe Foundation knowledge. The Institute hopes to become a central hub for the spread of plasma technology and knowledge.

The KF SSI is primarily an organization dedicated to understanding of space, and learning all aspects of survival in space.

Mehran Keshe repeatedly says that plasma units will go out for worldwide distribution. Keshe says that within the next 6 to 12 months things will change dramatically for the better as manufacturing will have created enough units for the entire world.

When Mehran Keshe gives his plasma reactors to delegates at a Peace Conference in Rome on October 16th, we can anticipate fuel price starting to drop permanently.  

So October 16th, 2015 could be a significant date for everyone and the planet. It could be another turning point towards a more enlightened way of operating and loving our planet.  It is something that many have been working toward for centuries. 

That's him - on the right.

Obama was reputedly given a plasma unit on September 24th of this year.  North America will hopefully go after cheap energy, as an alternative to what people have been saying for twenty years - 'War is not an Energy Plan'.   

There is no copyright and in fact Keshe made sure that it cannot be copyrighted.  People around the world will accept peace and cheap energy - which will change everything.

The Keshe Foundation Spaceship Institute claims that, "for the first time we have managed to create atomic hydrogen and carbon as gas and as solid matter at room temperature."  

Technical notes:

This new method uses atom-thickness layers, and multiple layered carbon, i.e., graphene.  Several international patents with over 300 potential uses have been filed in past years.

Graphene has the same composition as what we find at the core of pencils but is structured differently.  Until now this has only been produced at temperatures of 700° to 800°C.

Keshe is excited about the healing powers of this technology and how it produces a force field that protects against nasty psycho-tronic devices that have made misery of people's lives.

He claims that how we interact with the plasma is dictated by our overall vibration at the time.  Somehow the unit is sensitive to our vibrations.  That should be interesting if we wake up feeling grumpy.  It should give new meaning to phrases like stay positive, or, be happy!

Collaborative Leadership

Some of you may know of Peter Senge.  He promoted the terms 'learning organization' starting in the early 1990's.  He is now a senior lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management. 

Here is a link to a fascinating article he wrote recently.

http://www.ssireview.org/articles/entry/the_dawn_of_system_leadership

If you believe we need to get beyond the myth of the hero, Senge is looking at the power of collaborative leadership. Together we come up with visions for more sustainable styles of society.  Together we participate in co-creating the society we want.

In the article you will also find new insights into the food crisis, youth crime, toxicity found within fashion items.

Organizing for Understanding Freedom and Sustainability

We had a spirited session at the Intro Evening on Tuesday, October 29, 2013. 
 
Thanks to those of you who came to one or both meetings in October, and for your interest.

We have since launched a website for an agency where members of our association will represent us and our projects.  Our sponsored ad for the Intro Evenings ran in the first issue of Rapture - a newspaper dedicated to bridging spirituality, science and art.

Starting on November 11 at noon we will have the first Interim Meeting at the same location, (25 Sandale Gardens in Toronto near Sheppard and Bathurst - see Googlemaps for detailed directions ) and will begin identifying the best means to become an association that takes advantage of opportunities for –

1. moving the world agenda forward based on members’ existing projects and spheres of influence,
2. determining a self-sustaining and integrative direction for humanity where all can contribute and no-one is left behind,
3. promoting innovation in terms of how society adopts new learning and insights,
4. revealing convincing means for society to understand the consequences of actions taken,

At this Interim Meeting November 11, I am looking forward to showing you and discussing the actual business model - as developed to date - on how we organize as a self-organizing system.

Some of us have contacts in other parts of the world that are working on great projects and who could benefit from collaboration.  Consider bringing an outline of these projects on November 11.

At the moment we are -

a mutual support network that looks at areas of overlap amongst what we are already doing to advance scientific, spiritual, business, and psychological understanding.

I hope you can make it out for part of the day on November 11.  Let me know if this works for you by emailing ucitytoronto @ gmail.com.

There will be two further Intro Nights on Wednesday November 13, and Thursday Nov 28 to which you are free to invite friends with projects for a society that works  for everyone.

Communing with a Brazilian Music Legend

The Salon21 series yesterday evening was terrific.  See Soundstreams.ca.  Renown Brazilian musician, Egberto Gismonti is in town and he engaged us in a communal feeling with his words, and did things with his guitar that were unheard of before.  

He was born in Beirut to an Italian mother who was steeped in what he called the "aristocratic, piano-based tradition of Europe."

He said that when he was 21 and living in Brazil in 1973 a leading actor picked him to write the score for a movie.  This took him to Montreal and other cultural centres where he sat, talked and played with some of jazz's musical greats.  

Back in Brazil he was invited to join groups of musicians that encouraged him in his art.  Based on his talent he was invited to stay at the homes of one master musician after another, for periods of two weeks or more.  

So he drank up all that was offered and that he could learn about music and life from his elders.  Gradually he felt encouraged to go further than he ever imagined.  

Eventually he went to stay in the rainforest for forty days with a tribe of some of the two-million indigenous people of what is now called Brazil.  He felt excluded initially because there was the problem of not having a shared language.  

But each night the villagers gathered around an 8 foot bonfire, partly to keep insects away and partly to talk and play flute music.  He stood outside the circle.  

After a few nights he talked about his family and where he was from.  Even though no-one had the means to understand what he was saying the local people opened the circle and welcomed him in.

Towards the end of the SoundStream session an audience member asked Gismonti how he would characterize the importance of Brazilian composers, Los Lobos.  His answer intrigued me. 

Gismonti explained that Los Lobos obviously were not creating in a vacuum.  Everyone was part of a collaboration of musicians that stretches across Brazil.  Half of Brazilians are dancers, and half of Brazilians play guitar (because guitars are cheap to buy) unless you are indigenous in which case you play flute.  This is the social and cultural ecology.

Gismonti said that a researcher and musicologist gave Los Lobos a compilation of the music theory of many forms of indigenous music.  This body of knowledge informed everything that Los Lobos achieved after that.  It influenced the writing, and the connection the music made to the soul of the land.  Los Lobos became extremely popular and a very significant influence on others.

Now Gismonti is 64 and tours around the world.  When he talks with students in Brazil, Gismonti encourages them to devote their lives to music.  "Music will be good to you."  

He has become an elder who talks from experience.  Imagine the social, cultural, and even economic benefits of learning, teaching and playing music in such a musical country.

I could not help but think of how we are counseled in North America.  Can putting so much emphasis on being a rugged individualist and self-made man or woman really be a hangover from the frontier days?  Maybe not.  

How could you survive in the long harsh winters without coming together and cooperating to put up a house, replace a barn, or generally get anything done? 

I believe the ideas we are taught about individualism are a product of the values someone else thought they should be instilling into younger generations.  As a society that sees itself as an economic engine, why would we need music and dance and creative collaboration?  

We are currently the output and product of institutionalized schooling.  We are still taught to become good cogs ready and able to fit in the workings of the wheels of industry. 

As a society of people that advertisers have relentlessly conditioned to long for retirement, which literally means shutting ourselves away from the day-to-day goings-on, why would we open up our homes to young people to soak up all they can from us?  

We have actively deprived society of it's elders if we relied on state-hired teachers to deliver the standardized curriculum on which we base all that there is to know.  And if we feel dry, alienated, and out of place, wrapped up in our layers of conformity, we won;t feel like we have much to offer future generations.  If we believe 'the state' is the authority on education, what can the next generations soak up from us?

I believe that as North Americans we can end the denial and connect deeply with the abundance that exists, and the soul of the land.  Has progress been about what we are taught it is about?  Does progress really depend on what we are taught, and what we are teaching?

I remember Gismonti saying, "In Brazilian music we value the question, not the answer."  

A question becomes a point of departure from which all kinds of possibilities can arise.  

There are things about life, and our lives in today's society, that we do not have the means to understand.  Yet we can see the circle is open and we are welcome in.

Gross National Happiness - despite everything

This post is about the world debut of Gross National Happiness measures, or GNH, to take the place of those tired Gross National Product figures, or GNP. 

GNP is used to monitor manufacturing economy activity in industrial societies but includes financial gains.  GNP led to managing of countries using information that has horribly distorted the overall picture.  And bear in mind that all forms of ignorance are unnecessary.

Perhaps now that rich donors have a complete stranglehold on what is taught under the term, economics, in universities, and the credibility of economics grads is at an all-time low, it's time to allow economic academics to briefly give up on ignorance and recognize the obvious. 

Our academics appear to be adopting new sets of indicators that look at fulfillment.  But this could be some of that ol' time tokenism.  Tokenism is the best way to suppress true reform and prevent our chances of adapting to reality.  You simply ensure that you can say, "Oh, we already have a department in place that's in charge of that.  (But we don't listen to what they say, and we don't give them money so they won't threaten the existing system which, let's face it, our donors ensure we continue to do well within.)"

But something really is going on.

The French government began publishing happiness indicators in 2009. 

The Office for National Statistics in the UK has a program in place to measure national well-being at the same time that prime minister, Cameron, is touring East Asia to promote sales of weapons made in the UK.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, is drawing up guidelines for members (mostly finance ministers of 'developed countries') to collect “well-being data”.

Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist who won the Nobel Prize in economics, is drawing up measures of “subjective well-being”. His group is financed by the Obama administration.  (We might wonder, "When is well-being not subjective?"  So look for answers, coming soon.)

The first World Happiness Report was published recently, commissioned for a United Nations Conference on Happiness, under the auspices of the UN General Assembly.  There's input from Columbia University’s Earth Institute, and two happiness experts, Richard Layard of the London School of Economics and John Helliwell of the University of British Columbia.

The happiest people are in countries in northern Europe:

Denmark,

Norway,

Finland,

Netherlands. 

Countries with the most misery are on the African continent:

Togo,

Benin,

Central African Republic,

Sierra Leone.

At the UN Headquarters in New York City on April 2, 2012 the country of Bhutan hosted 600 participants from governments, academia, civil society and religious bodies.  The conference focused on Bhutan's new economic paradigm. 

Prime Minister of Bhutan, Jigmi Y. Thinley: "It is now the intention of the meeting on April 2, (2012) to bring together people from around the world – ... we are looking at the launching of the initiative for the creation of a sustainability-based paradigm comprising of, basically, four dimensions. These are: 

1. well-being and happiness;
2. ecological sustainability; 
3. fair distribution; and
4. efficient use of the increasingly scarce resources."
   

The conference outcomes will inform negotiations related to Rio+20, the global conference on sustainable development in June of 2012.  Bhutan will present the revised plan.

Bhutan is a Himalayan kingdom.  But it's no Shangri-La.  There's wealth and then some estimates peg a quarter of the population of 700,000 as living on less than US$1.25 a day.  70 percent of the population is without electricity.  

It's a country which experiences large, ongoing problems with Nepalese migrants.  It borders on Assam (India) where there is political unrest, and Tibet, which was violently reabsorbed into China.  So the country remains rocky in more ways than one.

And in 2014, Bhutan will go further and hold a conference at home aimed at developing a new GNH-based agreement equivalent to the Bretton Woods Agreement to establish post- WWII global economic controls.  See previous blog post for the significance of the Bretton Woods Agreement and why it fell apart.

BRICS countries changing Traditional Power in World

A massive shift in economic, political and financial power is underway.  You will see the beginnings if you look at the following video report, on the heads of the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) meeting in New Delhi this week.  They talked about UN reform, and an alternative to Western institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. 

The BRICS countries are reputedly experiencing an average of 7% growth each year whereas the economies of the `developed world` (US, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand) are in the toilet.  Today marked the first day in a series of massive changes.  So if you felt a cataclysmic shift in our world, from what you will read in the media, these will appear to be mostly national, economic, political and financial.

Note that the BRICS meetings were completely ignored by PBS in the US and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, never mind the corporately owned news outlets.  This was also the case with Occupy Wall Street which the mainstream media ignored for almost two weeks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vg9qvYwQHg

There were signs leading up to this.  Christine Lagarde, head of the IMF went cap-in-hand to talk with Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev asking if he could spare some cash to put in her fund.  She also announced, in effect, that the IMF will no longer engage in money laundering.  

Another sign was the outrage that has grown since 2008.  No one is in jail, or even in court, for bringing about the global economic meltdown.  People in government and Wall Street are too chummy for doing anything about that. So the US was the reckless relative most countries wanted to watch.

This series of BRICS announcements means is that it will be much more difficult for the US and Israel to cook up a war with Iran.  If the BRICS countries disagree with western news outlets that President Assad in Syria is as bad a guy as he`s been made out to be, the UN may change their recent resolution.  

The rise of the BRICS means that the dollar will no longer be the currency of choice for international deals.  We could see a new currency announced at the BRICS summit in South Africa in 2013.  Perhaps we`ll see the US military miss a few pay check deadlines for it`s employees... as many things seem possible now.  Stay tuned for this developing global story. 

But let`s pull back and discuss what you won`t read about anywhere else... what these newly emerging realities mean for neighbourhoods internationally, and personal internal changes.  

As we see more centralization of decision-making in the world (One world order, or world polarization, East-West, developed and developing nations) decisions and resulting plans will become ever more removed and less relevant to what needs to happen locally in our communities.  Ever increasing centralization initially leads to unsustainable results.  To maintain balance in the world, obviously there will be a spontaneous increase in the importance we give to the ‘hyper-local’, i.e. neighbourhoods. 

Perspectives of `East and West` and ‘good and bad situations’ are creating the necessary tension for society to move to functioning in higher ways.  People will increasingly move to creativity and higher values, such as compassion, initially either out of fear, or out of the desire for inclusion and unification.  (Remember the western developed countries will be the `have-not` countries, and inclusion will come to the fore-front of western people`s minds). 

In the last 25 years we`ve seen increased ecological ways of thinking which require the functioning of both halves of the brain.  But that`s just the beginning.

Believe me, people will start to be more aware of the organizing role of a non-localized, or quantum ‘shared Self’.  This way of thinking requires functioning of the brain`s frontal lobes.  To be exact, the front 2-pounds of an adult brain.  Recognition of a ‘shared Self’ and what we can think of as It`s actions will also probably develop though the functioning of the fore-brain.  We will soon recognize that the world is indeed one organism.  

Scientists and linguists at the university in St. Petersburg during the early 1990`s already found that some of what Western scientists refer to as ‘junk DNA’ actually is the means by which individuals link individual actions into the overall actions within the ‘shared Self’.

So big changes are here -

• Attention to individual needs rather than government policies and one-size-fits-all approaches,
• Brain functioning in more complex ways requiring education for the creative economy, 
• Coordination through seeing how a neighbourhood, and a person, fits into the larger whole,
• New coordinated ways to get things done locally and internationally over the Internet.
• Perhaps bake sales to raise funds for the military. (Only kidding).

Getting Creative to take on Creativity

You may not know that the Canada Council for the Arts has actually set artists up against one another, in competition for increasingly limited funds.  Of course it has done some good.  However, if it were designed by artists and not bureaucrats it would not have made artists explain everything they want to do before they do it, ignoring how creativity works.  The present system actually inhibits creativity and encourages artists to spend 3 months of each year filling out forms.  It was instituted by government shortly after the October Crisis in Quebec (which may or may not be a coincidence). 


Bulgaria and Romania are countries with arts communities that actually flourish and, there`s little or no paperwork.  Their professional arts associations were set up under strict communist dictatorships.

The last time I checked the Romanian professional artists had their own factory for fine art paints, plus a large facility for pouring metal to make bronze sculpture.  There is a national network of artist-owned galleries and residences. 

There is no arts council in these countries.  The artists have actually organized and gone after clients.  Almost all the money for this expansion of services came as income from clients. 

There is nothing like this in terms of representation of artists in Canada.  One contract I heard they secured was to design and decorate a casino in an old mansion.  Costs for services ... $2 million in 1995 dollars.

Canadian artists don`t tend to dream big.  Dreaming within state guidelines and in accordance with application deadlines seems to do the job nicely, thank you very much.

Each time the Canada Council budget gets cut artists have this habit of getting excited, making some noise, throwing a low-budget stylish party in sheer defiance.  While all the time feeling powerless to do anything any differently.  

Become less dependent on this bureaucratic system.  Start something creative and more natural, that works in parallel.  

``XXXXX Does not compute!!!! XXXXX.... XXXXX Does not compute!!!! XXXXX``

It's unfortunate that the Canada Council was not set up to encourage collaboration and therefore empowerment of artists.  But, hey.  Let's get over it and face facts.  

This system has been around a long time, and it's long been time to adapt.  And don`t expect bureaucrats to take care of this.  They will not be helping us adapt so that together artists become more enterprising and self-sustaining.  It's not something that bureaucrats offer.
