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.

Movements help us get around rigid monopolies

At the last event we discussed how the present economic system will not serve many of today's youth and how young adults are organizing in parallel economies outside of the established channels.  We focused on promising methods of organizing as a society that suggest a way forward.

For society to be organized requires predictable structure and movements for change - like a Snakes and Ladders board.  Movements have always been the main way to get around rigid monopolies.  Movements, such as human rights, have drawn our attention to the need for change whenever some of us find it difficult or impossible to get ahead socially and economically.



We will meet again on Wednesday March 11th. at 7p.m in the library of the beautiful Columbus Centre.  Take the elevator to the second floor and follow the signs.
The Columbus Centre is an Italian cultural centre just west of Dufferin on the south side of Lawrence. 
 
(Use the Allen Expressway or take the subway to Lawrence West Station and take a bus a few blocks west to Dufferin.)


Leslie Ann Coles will be our visiting speaker sharing with us her inspiration for starting the Female Eye film festival.  (See below for more information.)

This Social Creator event is free
with light refreshments catered by Mama D'Aleandro. 
Let Nick or I know if you are attending.  Bring a  friend.

 


Its time to fill out the Snakes and Ladders board for a post-2012 era. We will look at immediate economic opportunities and set educational objectives so that we learn to become more fulfilled. 

O
ur session we will go beyond logic and we will learn to use tools for insight.

 


There will be lots for everyone to talk about after selecting various breakout groups to discuss visions and educational objectives:
1. empowering ourselves for a More Lively and Loving Toronto,
2. a proposal to organize Neighbourhood TV,
3. influencing food quality and freshness,
4. influencing how the health industry operates,
3. an income model for these and other proposals.

The Female Eye film festival is ranked one of the world's "Top 50 Festivals" by Movie Maker.  See: http://www.femaleeyefilmfestival.com.  Read more, below this email...
We will also have a draw for free passes to some of the films.

​Leslie Ann Coles (above) has been an actress and producer since 1997.

In 2003, the Female Eye Festival launched the script development program.
In 2004, FeFF produced the first Dec. 6th program with films that pertained to issues of violence against women.
In 2005, FeFF traveled to the UN Headquarters to present films on International Women’s Day.
In 2006, FeFF launched a photo exhibit and produced the first Young Filmmaker Development Workshop.
In 2011, Jules Koostachin became the director of FeFF's Aboriginal Filmmaker Series.

What is a Community, now and in future?


Have you ever wondered what community is?  Its an interesting topic.

It is a topic that has become increasingly important now that we are running out of resources which sets limits on growth.  The old economic ideas are just falling away.

The first ten minutes of this video challenges the basis of today's economic philosophy.

Professor Al Bartlett makes a strong case for the end of capitalism two minutes into this video.


A community can be a location such as a neighbourhood.  Members of a community can share a common sense of identity such as coming from Bermuda, or the Caribbean, or the West.
 
A community can also be people linked by-

A common set of practices. See medical associations, acting guilds, or knitters

Or shared interests. See physicists, book clubs

Or similar values and shared intentions. See ecologists; or the Intentional Communities movement – http://www.ic.org/

So identity, practices, interests, values and intentions attract people together. They bring a level of organization to society.

Ultimately life seems to be about coming together to resolve our differences of identity, practices, opinions, values, intentions - and do this in as conscious ways as possible.

Today, with the internet to assist us, life could be about coming together to find mutual fulfillment and strength through collaboration.

I believe the internet is here to help neighbourhood communities advance beyond old ways of doing things.  I believe these communities will continue to reorganize internationally around the internet.

Why do I think this?  The biggest losers in globalization were national governments.  National leaders have given away much of their power to unelected officials within international agencies.  This has been a trend since about 1995.  And this is exactly when the internet started to catch on.

So it's time for change.  Let's use the internet to spread solutions internationally.  And let's organize locally where we can have an immediate effect on how things get done.

Why the News no longer Makes Sense

It seems that the story behind most news items these days has been politicians, military and corporations working towards shared ends.  It`s involved sending people off to war.  War is the impersonal use of physical power.  Its about using biology and putting it behind guns.

During the early 1990’s and the first Gulf War we saw protestors' signs that read ‘War is not an Energy Policy’.  Many people realized that the story behind the story behind news items was ensuring continued access to energy produced by oil, using chemistry. Now we see production of energy from uranium as the big story behind news about Iran.  Iran could  be using uranium for social use or for destruction  Again its about using chemistry.  

It’s widely known that Western energy policies have included suppressing the democratization of clean forms of energy both at home and abroad.  Governments worry about people having easy access large amounts of energy at home using physics.  

Perhaps governments currently see this suppression as necessary because large amounts of energy could ‘fall into the wrong hands’ and be turned into weapons.  The National Defence Authorization Act, passed into law in the US on New Year's Eve, 2011, specifically mentions pulsed photonic weaponry – or what we must assume is the weaponization of light.  Sounds like battling light sabres to me.  Perhaps watching too much Luke Skywalker.

The actual technology being referred to here is energy from the vacuum, or EFTV.  Its a topic well worth Googling if only to see how something the military has used since the 1930`s is being portrayed.
   
The story behind the story behind the story behind the news items these days is currency.  The America dollar has not involved gold since the time of Richard Nixon.  In fact we are now into currency wars.  Imagine that.  And there is nothing within the use of numbers in a computer that the currency represents,  People are going hungry in Greece for example because the debt numbers in a computer have been adopted by consensus.  See currencywarsbook.com for more on this kind of development.  

So let`s take a look at what currency wars look like...  Note how Saddam Hussein in Iraq was accepting currencies other than the dollar, for oil.  This enraged the financial sector in the US. 

Qaddafi started to require gold for oil rather than US dollars.  He was also setting up a banking system for Africa, independent of Europe.  And then America and mostly Italy and France attacked Libya. 

Iran has accepted gold for oil.  Iran is being deliberately financially destabilized through sanctions.

Let`s start to understand what`s behind the news.  Let`s start to pull this together:

Story Level I
Use of biology - armed wars

Story Level II
Use of materials in chemistry - wars about oil.

Story Level III
Use of energy in physics - recent wars over energy from the vacuum

Story Level IV
Use of numbers in mathematics - recent currency wars

If the world situation is difficult to follow, it’s because currency is hard to understand.  Currency is about numbers and using math.  And math is actually not a science but a form of philosophy.  Let`s say we now used metaphysics, a branch of philosophy for wars. Newscasters are not up for reporting on that.

It could be argued that studies of currency belong in algebra.  Remember algebra... that way of getting both sides of the equals sign to remain equal to one another, or balanced?   

Think of the philosophy of algebra in terms of, say Taoism, which seeks to align with the balance of two principles of Life - sometimes called yin and yang, shiva and shakti, self and flow, etc.  

Take another look at the financial destabilization of Iran.  Its about denying Life, or using sanctions to deny balance within a country.  Recently we saw the expulsion of Iran from SWIFT, which facilitates exchanges of currency amongst countries.  If you can`t turn currency or numbers into a weapon, then suppress or block the flow of currency.  This is death culture.  This begins to impose or inflict economic depression.

Think of algebra in terms of karmic repercussions, of equal and opposite actions, of atonement.  And think of algebra the same way you think about beats that create waves,  cycles, or vibration.  This is not the usual stuff to get your head around while nibbling and watching the news on telly.  

So we don't understand the news and therefore our world.

You can bet that in currency wars only bankers act as the commanders and generals.  To make the decisions on all the big moves in the world, bank owners need battalions of number crunching officers.  The bankers wage war on countries without the public, governments, military or corporations fully understanding the 'why' or the 'how'. 

Balance in the world is now either maintained or messed around with by several bank owners.  This is not conspiracy theory.  This is algebra.  Highly complex levels of algebra, but algebra all the same.

And clearly algebra and conspiracy theory are not the same.
We all want things to add up in our minds.  It is more than wanting, its a shared need amongst humans.  Yet we have not understood the news for a long time. 

What is a conspiracy theory?  It's how we take extremely complex world situations and get them to add up.  Clarity emerges gradually.  We arrive at highly complex levels of algebra through intuition about pattern and balance rather than through mathematics.

Embrace a Social Ecology. Go beyond Dogma

The industrial activity of North America and Europe relocated overseas .  And national governments allowed this to happen mostly during in the late-1990`s.  This is how capitalism was able to take advantage of lower wages and lower environmental standards in other countries.  


Business has mostly served the financial, production, promotional and distribution needs of industry.  Following that relocation of factories overseas we saw the contraction of businesses at home.  


It’s time we accepted this, learned to proceed accordingly, and adapt.  


But how do we adapt?  It's certainly not by using the same level, or the same complexity of thought that produced factories, businesses as we've known them to date.


Within government and business we relied heavily on a level of thinking that could solve isolated problems.  This is the relatively simple level of linear thinking that has allowed the ‘dogma’ of project management to continue unquestioned.  If there were a powerful priesthood that upheld this dogma of project management, which I don't think there is, it would never disclose to you the basis of project management which is process philosophy.  People would question the main pillars of process philosophy and thus bring an end to the priesthood's power.  


Process philosophy is the thinking behind project management and therefore the unquestioned basis of how things get done in Western business, government, and much of science.  I have studied process philosophy intensely for several years at the same time as studying Eastern philosophies about the workings of reality.  And process philosophy pales in comparison.


A project management approach requires that we keep life away from everything we do.  (Think of analyzing the workings of 'a small piece of life' in a test-tube.)  A project manager has the ridiculous job of pushing life aside  constantly in order to clear the path so that the preconceived results or goals proceed in an uninterrupted manner to the planned outcome.  


Unless life is maintained outside the project and outside closed doors where all the real planning of outcomes gets done things quickly get too complicated for linear thinking.  (Think of Western society where $1-billion is spent on troops to keep life outside the perimeter fence of a G-20 summit.)  


To adapt we need to move to the next level of thinking in terms of complexity However to enter today’s emerging creative economy we acknowledge that nothing is isolated and that everything exists in mutual relationship and interdependence.  (Think of fluid groups of people being gassed and beaten outside the perimeter fence of a G-20 summit and formal proceedings in a hotel complex inside the fence.  Many outside the fence have sufficient complexity of thought to allow for life, grasp some of the wisdom of our ecology, and usher in some of the social adaptations we need at this time.)


Society is an ecology that meets the need for interdependent levels of products and services within that society.  We are learning how to better meet these needs simultaneously through coordination of projects.  
We can think of projects as arranged in a large array consisting of six-stages.  Levels within the array are a rational approach to face our challenges.  Position each project in a level from 1 to 6 depending on the need it meets:

1. social, 
2. cultural, 
3. educational, 
4. for business, 
5. for communication, or 
6. for overall coordination. 

It's good to notice how each stage builds on the prior stage.  Think about it.  We don't have a culture without a society; we don't have a culture to share through education without a society and a culture; we don't have a business sector to get things done without education, a culture, and society; and so on.  


The progression of these stages show a marked increase in complexity.  A system of coordination requires a more complex way of thinking and doing than communication, or business.


We need a culture that goes beyond project management to allow for life.    We need education that shares process philosophy on which Western society is based, and philosophies on which Eastern societies are based.  We need to examine them, come up with rational alternatives and test their effectiveness as social adaptations.  Without a rational approach for all to examine and discuss we are stuck with something like the unexamined 'truths' a priesthood would hold in place.


It simply was not possible to handle coordination of arrays of interdependent projects before the Internet.  On-line tools provide international society with organizational support for coordination services to emerge as the next, great source of value, and therefore the next, great economy.

Understanding How Occupy Works


To even better understand how the Occupy Movement is organized, here is an email another friend sent me.  He is retired from the US army and is quite philosophical.  He attached a link to an article from a magazine and said, “Please pass this along to the organizer of Occupy Toronto.”

I replied, “As you know, there are no Occupy organizers.  Whoever shows up can voice their opinion.” 

He replied:  'As to no "organizers," someone or a few must hold the centre and focus.  Therefore the concept of "No Organizers" is flawed logic'.

Wow.  For the logical part of the brain, all this seems flawed.   But I suggest that, for people who think cosmo-logically, or in terms of the wholeness of a system, this idea of ‘no organizers’ is not flawed at all. 

A cosmos is a whole system.  It is naturally occurring and therefore self-organizing.  The basic challenge that society faces is that we are moving from looking for logical solutions to becoming cosmo-logical adaptations.  And I like the idea that we need to 'become the change we are looking for'.  

My friend liked my email response so I want to share it with you.

At Occupy I believe we are talking about self-directed action in an expressive movement, rather than managed action in a one issue movement.  

That requires self-organization, and coordination of emergent solutions that arise from the grassroots and gradually catch on.  

True, not everyone is sufficiently self-aware all of the time, to know what we want to express or do next.  So at times we may decide to follow someone else's lead rather than taking initiative, being enthused, following ideas and impulses that derive from our own centre.  (En = inside, centre.  Theo = god.  These are the roots of 'enthused').

Nature is all about self-organization.  Unless we think that only fairies and devas make flowers and pumpkins grow we have to open up to the idea that everything that surrounds us that is not hand made or technological has self-organized.  

If you wanna peek at who or what's organizing Nature or the Occupy movement I believe that to some degree it’s the Self, an archetypal pattern that the psychologist, Carl Jung writes about.  Some call it the Great Spirit, the Shakina or the feminine aspect of God.  Or it could be the goddesses Shakti, or Quan Yin.  These may be very real individuals or merely terms that were intuitively arrived at to account for the fluidity and beauty that happening all around us as a result of self-organization.

The Self is the pattern about which things organize. You self-organized in your mother's womb for sure.  You didn't come from on high by Federal Express.

As a chemist I've studied those simplest of self-organizing systems called atoms for years.  Each atom has a centre (nucleus) that arises naturally.  Social movements are similar, just way more complex.  

What makes human life weird is that when we choose to collaborate we soon begin to 'organize ourselves' rather than self-organize.  Organizations are not really organized at all.  They are orderly structures that we build from the top, down.  We impose order from the top, down.  This orderly approach defies life.  

When we get busy and 'organize ourselves' we instill our ideas and values on the outcomes which is terribly limiting.  Whatever regime we choose contains tyranny and oppression within the structure.  This limited approach is how we've managed to produce so much misery and tedium.  Darkness and distrust are dispelled from how we collaborate because fluidity and beauty come included with self-organization.

At Occupy we are not in corporate America or in the army.  In fact we're not trying to be life destroying and self-oppressive at all.  Delegation is 'out' and values-based action is definitely on the increase.  Think 'creative, responsive and lively'.

It’s a funny way to run a universe, I know.  But I actually prefer to align with life and the self-organizing principles that run the show. The pattern we call the 'self' is what's at centre.  

Hoping this makes the idea of "No organizers" clearer and easier to live with.

Andrew.

What does the Omni-dimensional Alliance I'm hearing about refer to?

It refers to working together towards revitalization of society within a place.


Revitalization means more than putting up new buildings or working together to sell new products and services.

To understand revitalization requires learning to work creatively in ways that embrace all aspects of life.


Discovering how DNA works was not the key to understanding life, or revitalization, no matter what you've heard about in documentaries. Life is partly physical - something based on light energy, nerve impulses, and molecules that include DNA. Life also includes places for everyone and everything to grow and mature.


Life is about a shared vitality amongst people, animals, and plants, both locally and throughout the ecology of lands and oceans. Life includes our minds, emotions, the unique individuality of our creative expressions, and the unifying influence of a team spirit.

To revitalize our neighbourhoods requires us to develop and bring forward an omni-dimensional approach that embraces all visible and invisible dimensions within life.


With a mission of international renewal, why focus on revitalization of our neighbourhoods and rural areas?


Large scale renewal is the result of small responses. We respond or adapt how we do things in order to adjust to changes in our surroundings. The neighbourhoods and rural areas that immediately surround us are places where we are most able to respond, encourage learning and creativity, plus enjoy a shared vitality and team spirit.


Commuting to a factory or head office has become less important in what's new and creative about society. Entrepreneurs live, work and collaborate in neighbourhoods. Local collaborations and less commuting becomes important for a clean and healthy ecology.

Who do we partner with if we are to help local entrepreneurs?


The alliance is for people in the learning and creative field, organizations that bring people together in order for us to prosper and become all we can be -

schools, libraries, theatres, galleries,

land and building developers who want to stand out,

movie, television and web content producers who work with neighbourhoods

associations committed to professional development of their members,

hotel and resort operators that need our neighbourhoods and rural areas to thrive and be renewed if visitors are to enjoy greater experiences while working and relaxing.


The alliance is a way for organizations to enter into healthy working relationships with neighbourhoods. There will be one number to call, and one invoice to process, whenever leaders in an organization want to respond to opportunities in their working environment, and adapt how things get done. As neighbours we're partnering with organizations in an easy way so that we all benefit from the brilliance present within our local networks of entrepreneurs.


As neighbours we're facilitating how organizations link together to derive greater benefit from one another.


What's next?

If you're with an organization, association, or a media producer, contact confercentre @ gmail.com, and find out more about alliance membership.



There's more to life and revitalization than we've considered to date. There are better ways to express ideas about vitality, spirit, revitalization, cultural renaissance, health and wellness. We're anchoring these ideas within a place. We've started where we are.


That is what the social creator network is about - starting conversations, having more rewarding collaborations, and introducing smarter ways to get things done.
