as opposed to THE COSMIC DANCE ...

which Fritjof Capra described as ... the exploration of the subatomic world in the twentieth century which ... has revealed the intrinsically dynamic nature of matter ... and has shown that the constituents of atoms, the subatomic particles, are dynamic patterns which do not exist as isolated entities, but as integral parts of an inseperable network of interactions ...

which involve a ceaseless flow of energy manifesting itself as the exchange of particles; a dynamic interplay in which particles are created and destroyed without end in a continual variation of energy patterns ...

particle interactions which give rise to stable structures which build up the material world, which again do not remain static, but oscillate in rythmic movements ... indicating that THE WHOLE UNIVERSE is thus engaged in endless motion and activity; in a continual COSMIC DANCE of ENERGY ...

will no doubt come to fuition when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is switched on this summer at CERN in Switzerland ... and Fritjof Capra's question as to whether QUARK SYMMETRIES could become A NEW KOAN ... will BE answered.

William Leith's "Journey to the centre of the earth article" prepares US ALL for an experiment that could unlock the secrets of the universe ... and in so doing ...
ABSOLUTELY CONFIRM ... as a result of the rational & logical thinking of applied scientific experiment ... Fritjof Capra's statement of 1975 that ...

On this journey to the world of the infinitely small, the most important step, from a PHILOSOPHICAL point of view, was the first one: the step into the world of atoms. Probing inside the atom and investigating its structure, science transcended the limits of our sensory imagination. From this point on, it could no longer rely with absolute certainty on logic and common sense. Atomic physics provided the scientists with the first glimpses of the essential nature of things. Like the mystics, physicists were now dealing with a non-sensory experience of reality and, like the mystics, they had to face the paradoxical aspects of this experience. From then on therefore, the models and images of modern physics became akin to those of Eastern philosophy.

It is also likely, in the context of Alan's statement that ... "the SOUL, indeed, IS visible by science, if they knew how and where to look" ...  that the deliberation of the results of this LHC scientific experiment, will confirm Alan's zBlog proposal that "the base of the material world is immaterial consciousness and that we are concentrations of the consciousness of the universe, and therefore concentrations of light, and concentrations of microwave energy."

What better way to establish the conclusion of this post, than to utilise William Leith's own conclusion to his Telegraph Magazine Article ...

We have a quick chat about Tim Berners-Lee. 'Thanks to him, you can look him up on the internet,' Grey grins.

Grey is poised to process the data from the pictures that Harnew and Collins and Barney and many others will take, once Lamont and his colleagues have flicked the switch. And it's important data. Physicists absolutely need to find it. This is because, to put it bluntly, they do not understand why things are things. It's absolutely infuriating. The truth is out there, if only they could locate it.

'It'll be a relief for them to find [the boson],' Peter Higgs said recently. 'If I'm wrong, I'll be rather sad.'

If he is wrong, the scientists at CERN are confident that they won't have spent $8 billion for nothing. 'The LHC is guaranteed a result,' James Gillies says. 'Either we find the Higgs boson, or we find something else that does the same job...

We know the Standard Model is not the whole story, but we also know it isn't wrong ...
IT works too well. IT IS simply incomplete.'

Fritjof Capra wrote in his 25th Anniversary Edition Epilogue ....
I believe that the world view implied by modern physics is inconsistent with our present society, which does NOT reflect the HARMONIOUS INTERRELATEDNESS we observe in nature. To achieve such a state of DYNAMIC BALANCE, a radically different SOCIAL and ECONOMIC STRUCTURE will be needed: a cultural revolution in the true sense of the word. The survival of our whole civilisation may depend on whether we can bring about such change. IT WILL DEPEND, ultimately, on our ability to adopt some of the YIN attitudes of EASTERN mysticism; to experience the wholeness of nature and the ART of  LIVING with it in HARMONY.

balance & harmony ...                               must be re-established to bring ...     Change ! to the World

my one spirit  into this world will be 88 years old on the 21st April 2008.

She was the one, along with her father, who nurtured and encouraged my ‘dyslexic mind’, to come to terms with the “virtual world” of our planet, ably supported by her own soul-mate whose task it was, along with his father, to show me the way of pragmatic & practical survival and how to DO IT, in terms of the qualitative enhancement of life on earth, as a result of the experience of responsible and selfless action.

When the child is born, he is a pagan. Each child is a born pagan, he is happy the way he is. He has no idea what is right and what is wrong; he has no ideals. He has no criteria, he has no judgment. Hungry, he asks for food. Sleepy, he falls asleep. That's what Zen masters say is the utmost in religiousness - when hungry eat, when feeling sleepy go to sleep. Let life flow; don't interfere.

Each child is born as a pagan, but sooner or later he will lose that simplicity. That is part of life; it has to happen. It is a part of our growth, maturity, destiny. The child has to lose it and find it again. When the child loses it he becomes ordinary, worldly. when he regains it he becomes religious.

The innocence of childhood is cheap; it is a gift from existence. We have not earned it and we will have to lose it. Only by losing it will we become aware of what we have lost. Then we will start searching for it. And only when we search for it and earn it, achieve it, become it - then we will know the tremendous preciousness of it.

                                                                                "The Book of Understanding" by OSHO.

My mother is now almost totally blind to the input of her moment by moment environmental cocoon and often talks of sitting in her virtual world, deciding what has to be done, and then, going with the flow, as she says, and Doing NO THING.  If she had been ”physically blind” from birth or had become blind during those magic several months, which a child just out of the womb enjoys in total innocence, she would have had no experiences of being part of her virtual world, to store away in the memory banks of her cerebral cortex, and it would therefore have never existed, regardless of her being a living member of the species of homo sapiens for nigh on 88 years since.

She was of course born to a rich family, who nevertheless experienced the demise of such status during the depression of the 1930s, travelled from ”GOD’s Country”, as they say in Yorkshire, to London where her father worked as a "durex” salesman with the London Rubber Company to allow them to live a meagre but sufficient life in rented accommodation at the top of Miranda Road in the Archway, North London. I shall always remember the house, as a child, because it had a monkey puzzle tree out front and a huge walled garden with an apple tree, which bore fruit, whose delicious flavour I can still taste today. My mother’s only memory of that house now is of my dad coming home from the war, walking up the hill towards the house. The very hill in fact where I have childhood memories of pedalling down the hill at full speed on my tricycle, hitting a wall and somersaulting over the handlebars.


LET US suffer the children of innocence, within ALL of us, to realise that we have been granted the priviledge, to experience as embodied spirit, in all humility, the actions of self-less caring and compassionate LOVE for ALL ... in this totally and absolutely interconnected virtual world collective which we have chosen to be born to.

LET US also rise to our duty of responsibilty to make our planet the better place it was designed TO BE and IF needs be create models of potential virtual worlds, on the basis of what could be to the mutual benefit of ALL 6.7 billion presently ALIVE on earth today.

A VISION for CHANGE must focus initially on the motivation to rendezvous with destiny.
 
The REALITY IS that DESTINY IS that which one discovers ... IF every opportunity, with which you are faced, is responsibly acted upon in all humility.  FATE IS what you are faced with if you don't. 


THE ultimate motivation of our species MUST BE peace on earth.  But peace on earth can only be attained if we can sit down with our adversaries and formulate sustainable solutions together, to address the issues that divide us. 


THE penultimate motivation of our species MUST then BE to establish a global infrastructure which will allow this to happen.

SAVE the world we go

In his book - The Idea Of Nature In Disney Animation - David Whitley has very succinctly established a child-like perspective of the fact that Disney's films have helped generations of children to develop "a critical awareness of contested environmental issues" since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released in 1937.

David Whitley goes on to say of ...

Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs (1937)

"The forest gives young viewers a sense of the integrity and separateness of nature from the world of humans, which is shown as oppressively unbalanced. Snow White enlists the help of a small army of creatures, evincing our interdependent relationship with the natural world and showcasing, with comic brio, the variety and vitality of animal life."

Bambi (1942)

"The idyllic realm of nature rendered vulnerable by human incursions. Disarmingly cute animals and a sense that we are receiving a 'privileged' view of nature at work build empathy between the viewer and the archetypal image of nature. We come away feeling we owe the natural world some sort of allegiance."

Cinderella (1950)

"Cinderella's relationship with an extensive subculture of friendly animals demonstrates that she is wholesome and good. The animals help to subvert the authority of a repressive, self-regarding human culture cut off from nature and represented by the ugly sisters. Cinderella is a 'lovelorn shepherdess', managing and protecting the animals."

The Jungle Book (1967)

"Mowgli demonstrates not just a desire to protect the animal kingdom, but to become part of it."

Finding Nemo (2003)

"The theme of letting go of one's protective anxieties accepts the dangerous aspect of nature, but we are encouraged to tolerate freedom with all the precariousness that entails. The film does not attempt to unite the human and natural environments, but conveys a natural state of interaction which has both positive and negative results, rendering it a fable for our time."


... which ALL adds  grist to the mill  to Walt Disney BEING an eco-warrior & integral artist as exemplified by the KOSMIC DANCE of HIS MIND, in support of the children's own perspective of the concept that YOUR PLANET NEEDS YOU.

WITHIN YOU, AS the LEADER

that YOU YOURSELF ...

have to BECOME

Make GOD's KINGDOM & GOD's RIGHTEOUSNESS your first priority in life, then ALL of tomorrow's needs will fall naturally into a place of balance & harmony in all things, for the galactic exploration of consciousness supreme, through the mind.

James Atwell's, 2007 Eucharist Sermon, delivered in Winchester Cathedral in the U.K.
concluded that ...

" THE BIBLE has particular and specific vocabulary which captures the connectedness of things, and  describes a world where our priorities are right, equilibrium is safe, and things are working  harmoniously. 

One is a word we translate as righteousness, but in the Old Testament it really  means ‘right order’.  It is the opposite of disorder and sickness.  There is right order when the appropriate connections are being made and things are properly related.  When Psalm 96, for  instance, says of God ‘He will judge the world with righteousness’, it means that he will sort it out and put it into right order.  It will not be topsy turvy anymore.  He will rescue the poor. He  will vindicate the truth.  Then the standing crops in the field will laugh and sing as the gentle  wind blows down the valley.  

The complementary word to right order is the little word ‘peace’ or ‘shalom’.  

It means universal global peace in the sense of harmony, right relationship,  wholeness. 

When things are rightly ordered they are integrated, healthy and wholesome.  They  work together.  That IS peace. 

‘The lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and the little child  shall lead them.’ 

That is why we share the peace at the Eucharist: 
we seek to be a community that models not tranquillity, but rather right relationships.   

The world was created by God in relationship and actions for good or for  evil in one sphere might have quite unexpected and unintended results in another.  It is an insight which was lost and has been recovered in our contemporary environmental awareness.    

When the world is properly a wholesome environment, then in the words of Psalm 85  ‘righteousness and peace will kiss each other’ (Psalm 85 v10).  

That is right order and harmony reign across a complex and unified world.     

But there is one more biblical word to add to this collection to make a trio, it is one final  ingredient if the world is to have a sound ecology.  Beside right order and harmony one must place justice. 

It is used globally in the Old Testament.  Such is the moral nature of the Creator,  that the world’s ecology is not safe unless justice rules.  The ideal king, reflecting the rule of God  himself governs ‘with righteousness and justice’ (Psalm 72:1, Isaiah 9:7).  Without justice our  environment is damaged.  There can be no healthy ecology at the expense of the weak and  vulnerable.  Human moral actions affect the integrity of creation. 

The great words of the prophet  Amos are universal in scope and a prayer for the integrity of our environment:    ‘ Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness (‘right order’) as an everlasting stream.’ "


In other words, DECENCY, MORALITY & LAW must BE acknowledged as integral components of the BIG PICTURE GLOBAL SOLUTION UNDERSTANDING that ...

GOD IS manifest throughout the 

multiverse of parallel universes as ...

DON'T KILL THE MESSENGER
