as EASY as "THIS" 

to truly understand the significance of TIME.

A Labour M.P. stood up in the Houses of Parliament yesterday and started to preach to the conservative Tory benches opposite, politically pontificating about how the problems of the financial  market were far more complex than the Tories understood and how THEY the Tories should understand that the ever evolving nature of the economic problems could best be described by “chaos theory”.

The member of parliament in question then went on to state that Labour had
a better grasp of what to do  than the Tory opposition. ONLY time will tell.

Most of those people who voted Mr. Blair into power, as leader of the party of NEW LABOUR and
the middle way, to the tune of “things can only get better”, truly believed that a NEW ORDER ENVIRONMENT would fully acknowledge the existence of
“chaos theory” in the running of the economy.

Alas the man in charge of the purse strings spent the last 11 years preparing to fully implement the OLD LABOUR policies which the electorate didn’t vote for !

In the context of those who WILL have to pay for ALL of THIS, our children and their children’s children, and the children within ALL of US adults, what better way for us all to be introduced to the concept of philosophy than by Christopher Falzon’s Philosophy GOES TO THE MOVIES. We could then appreciate fully what John Elbert has long told us about the workings of the mind, in preparation for an appropriately applicable understanding of how important the acknowledgement of the concepts of
Spiral Dynamics Integral are, to the survival of LIFE on EARTH.

It was Clare Graves who said in 1974 … that a version of George Orwell’s 1984, embodied in tyrannical, manipulative government with glossed over communitarian overtones, was a distinct possibility as a result of the playing out of the Humpty Dumpty effect.

Despite the fact that ALL Governments since Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher have completely neglected their responsibilities, in regard to oversight and regulation of the financial services industry, the financial chaos which ALL taxpayers now face IS less to do with scientific analogies than a common sense understanding of the financial chaos which has ensued as a result of self-sophistication, arrogance and greed. It would seem that this common sense of the people in cutting back everywhere possible is not being mirrored by the majority of the political establishment or banking elite. As I have posted elsewhere, THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION was NOT a social but a political one. The one that the British have endured for the last decade or more, was in the same vain more political than social, perhaps "the times are a changing", such that the NEW OBAMA administration will at least establish a BALANCE betwixt the political and the social, en-route to a revived version of democracy when the politicians will truly BE at the BEHEST of the people.

The film DÉJÀ VU was dedicated to the strength and enduring spirit of the people of New Orleans. Let us ALL awake and smell the lavender, smell the lavender and awaken to the strength and enduring spirit of ALL the people of the planet.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING

BUILD a NEW "Humpty Dumpty"

by way of a model which underpins the capability of ...
appropriate and opportunistic ACTION.

A scaleable, ever expanding, model which reflects our experience of expectations
and facilitates our understanding of the independence of interdependence.

As Helen Titchen Beeth has so eloquently stated ...

"If we want to be evolutionary entrepreneurs who survive the acid test of natural selection—if we want our undertakings to take root in the world and thrive, to truly make the world a better place—then we need to understand what game we are playing, and the environment we are playing it in. 

Entrepreneurship is about will. ‘Will’ is a word that doesn’t exist in science. Science sees our actions, but not what fuels them. Will is a phenomenon that we typically associate with the invisible interior of individuals and collectives. We cannot see it—only the outcomes of the actions driven by it. We could even see entrepreneurship as a driving force of evolution now that humanity is awakening into fuller consciousness of its own evolution. 

At first sight, entrepreneurship is all about individuals. It is the individual will with a vision of change that starts the ball rolling. But the change can only happen if the will of the collective is engaged. How can we maximise our chance of making that happen?"

Since the dawn of time LIFE on EARTH has maintained its independence of interdependence as the nature of LOVE and it wasn’t until HOMO SAPIENS appeared on the scene that the experience of expectations was manifested as the
LOVE of nature.

IT HAS forever been a lifeforce of our species to make patterns of everything, to explain the nature of love and use those patterns to experience the expectation of the love of nature.

Unfortunately those patterns have not always reflected the reality of the natural process.

Leaders throughout history have led the people of ASSYRIA, the people of GREECE and the people of ROME, through a demonstration of the fully integrated combination of the people’s experience of the the expectation of independence of interdependence, as exemplified by the example of the particular leader of the time; which has ever since become the basis of the celebrity status of our old order leaders, working to an evolving tried and tested old order pattern, from Trajan to Hitler through Napolean and in more recent times the rebellious leaders of the NEW WORLD whose raison d’etre was to reject the old order model but in reality continue to adhere to the old order pattern.

With the advent of increasingly powerful communications technologies the role of President of the USA has been presented in ever more Trajan-like manner, as a fait acompli of what the executive has done and is doing to rectify the mistakes which have been done, without ANY apparent concern for the long term consequences for the people, who have been  encouraged to be involved in what has been done, invariably in the name of the people.

For the first time in the history of our species on earth, the leader elect of our global society has established his celebrity status NOT ... as a result of his own personal experience, propped up by the experts and others in power who would seek to promote their own self-interested policies; BUT ... as a result of the voice of the people on the basis of what HAS to be DONE, in accordance with the voice of common sense independence of interdependence of the people for the mutual sustainable benefit of ALL the people of the USA.

We can NOW only HOPE and PRAY that the responsible ACTIONS of all the peoples of the world in support of this new order pattern will result in a NEW ORDER GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT for the mutual benefit of ALL that IS the NATURE of LOVE.

has been the perennial

" What came first? " question

ever since parents asked their

children to contemplate the

age old conundrum.

THE ONE OFF event of the "finger licking chicken", consequent to the bird that has been killed to provide food on our table versus the "humpty dumpty egg", soft boiled, over-easy or scrambled on our plate, IS representative of an OLD ORDER MIND-SET.

THE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE of "hope and desires", for what could be another chicken and baby chicks and their own baby chicks, providing finger licking chicken and soft boiled, over-easy or scrambled eggs as well as a future supply of chickens and their eggs, sustained by the "seeds" of LIFE, IS representative of a NEW ORDER MIND-SET.



The old "humpty dumpty egg"  of the global financial economy has tried and tested the fragility of that particular egg, to the point where the experts in control have been responsible for it breaking into 10 to the power 10 jigsaw pieces, and as recalled in the children's rhyme ... all the King's horses and ALL the King's men couldn't put humpty together again.

THIS EVENT is the first of several "seismic shifts" which will take place in the OLD ORDER MIND-SET, which has brought LIFE on EARTH to its present unsustainable position, if the "glorious establishment", of those who are paid to know better, is continued to be allowed to pick up the pieces of the OLD ORDER MIND-SET  in an attempt to  glue them back together again.

The TIME has well and truly come
for the peoples of the USA as
ONE UNITED STATES of AMERICA
to ACTION the MIND-SET SWITCH
which will light the way forward 
towards the ultimate goal of ...

ONE UNITED STATES of EARTH, as a result of leading by the example of building a less fragile ... NEW ORDER ENVIRONMENT of the people, by the people for the people ...

through the collective independence of MIND, SPIRIT and ACTION

ALL UNION

have DECIDED ...

AS ADVOCATES of the entirety of our species, THAT the time is right for profound political change and IT IS plain that we must NOW collectively contemplate, the nature of what has to change, in the context of  how our economy is killing the earth, and the model by which it can be achieved, to ensure the survival of LIFE on EARTH, which task has been granted to us as the dominant conscious animals we are.


Susan George has said in her recent New Scientist Special report:

We must think big to fight environmental disaster ...

OUR poor battered world is beset by multiple crises. There is mass poverty, and growing inequality within and between rich and poor countries. The financial disaster which began with sub-prime mortgages has spread inexorably throughout the US and elsewhere, threatening to plunge the global economy into a prolonged period of stagnation as severe as the Depression. Most ominous of all, climate change and species destruction are accelerating faster than most scientists, much less governments, thought possible.

These crises feed back into and intensify each other. After years of irresponsible "innovation", huge financial institutions are bailed out by the public purse and top management takes the money and runs, while millions lower down lose their jobs and often their homes. Seeing the housing balloon shrivel, speculators stampede into commodities markets, spurring the rise of food and energy prices. Dramatically higher prices for staples plunge another 150 million people globally into destitution.

Scale is the problem, and our task is to promote a quantitative and qualitative leap in the scale of environmental action, recognising that big can be not beautiful but crucial if we hope to avert the worst.

As a wise man said: "All for ourselves and nothing for other people seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind." That was Adam Smith in the Wealth of Nations, NOT Karl Marx.

Herman E. Daly, an American economist recognized as one of the founders of the field of ecological economics and as a critic of standard economic growth theory,
has said in his recent New Scientist Special report:

On a road to disater

The idea of moving to a steady-state economy will appear radical to many, perhaps policitically impossible. But the alternative, a macro-economy that is structurally required to grow in scale beyond the biophysical limits of the EARTH, is an absurdity, and heading for the ultimate crash. Before we reach that radical physical limit, we are already encountering the economic limit at which benefits of extra growth  are increasingly outweighed by the costs.


The recent problems with the global financial system are absolute testament to both of these perspectives and support whole-heartedly the solution designs promulgated  by Colin Mason, in his epic work: A SHORT HISTORY TO THE FUTURE, based on his two axioms ...

Axiom 1

Useful change is likely to come only if it can provide as, equal, obvious and general a benefit as possible

Axiom 2

If proposed solutions don't take the lowest common denominators of human nature reallistically into account, they will not work

if the job's worth doing ...

isn't it NOW that we should

plan the work then ...

work the plan

in order that

THE job's DONE WELL ?

remember, remember the

"5th of NOVEMBER" 2008

YOU HAVE INDEED

achieved the intention

of what both Guy Fawkes

and V for Vendetta

only aimed to achieve ...

that an IDEA can be 

"bullet-proof"

ALL HAIL to the peoples

of the USA for taking the

first step of our journey

into THE FUTURE

... never forgetting to run

"that mouse in your hand"

over these words of

congratulation ...

to reveal my indepth

appreciation of

your ACTION

.

selfless caring and

compassionate LOVE

for ALL

NOT by the example of

selfish sophistication,

arrogance and greed ...

which has permeated every echelon of leadership throughout
our families of individuals, nations of families and family of nations.

Over 100 years ago, Woodrow Wilson said  "THE PRESIDENT is at liberty,
both in law and conscience, to be as big a man as he can" ...

YES HE CAN

but Fred Greenstein concluded in his 2nd Edition CODA of  The Presidential Difference

In the world of imagination it is possible to envisage a cognitively and emotionally intelligent chief executive, who happens also to be an inspiring public communicator, a capable White House organizer, and the possessor of exceptional political skill and vision. In the real world, human imperfection is inevitable, but some imperfections are more disabling than others. Many of the modern presidents have performed adequately without being brilliant orators. Only a few chief executives have been organizationally competent. A minimal level of political skill is a precondition of presidential effectiveness, but political skill is widely present in the handful of individuals who rise to the political summit. Vision is rarer than skill, but only Lyndon Johnson was disastrously deficient in the realm of policy.

Finally there are thought and emotion. The importance of cognitive strength in the presidency should be self-evident. Still, Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Carter, and Clinton had impressive intellects and defective temperaments. They reversed Justice Holmes characterisation of FDR. Clinton’s foibles made him an underachiever and national embarrassment. Carter’s defective temperament contributed to making his time in office a period of lost opportunity. Johnson and Nixon presided over major policy breakthroughs, but also over two of the most un-happy episodes of the twentieth century.

All four presidential experiences point to the following moral:

Beware the presidential contender who lacks emotional intelligence.

In its absence all else may turn to ashes.



LET US hope and pray that the leadership by example, of the 44th President,
as leader of the NOW GLOBAL COMMUNITY,  reflects the principled values of integrity and responsible, appropriate ACTION.                   


AS we ALL stand, staring into the ABYSS ...

"GOOD LUCK AMERICA on your ever continuing journey of discovery"

and may GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

"THE FOUR QUADRANTS"

Perfect does not mean perfect actions in a perfect world
but appropriate actions in an imperfect world

THE RIVERS everywhere flow to the seas and the oceans and ALL take sustainance from them ... but with a political commitment to the ever increasing growth of the global economy, which would take at least three to five earths, to sustain us if everyone had the lifestyle of people in the UK/USA, access to sustainable supply of potable water diminishes by the day.

THE ORIGIN of suffering IS indeed about to become attachment to the desires of consumerism ... NOT the desire of a sustainable standard of living.

In no unsimilar manner to every IP infranet transaction generating 2 cents in the dollar profit to fund the 111 project, so also could those that profit from the distribution of ALL liquid sustainance, to the peoples of the earth, fund clean water projects worldwide. This could be achieved at the core of a project designed to establish self-sufficient and sustainable communities, whose standard of living is judged by the quality of life and relationships with ALL the constituents within those communities.

This global social responsibility, on the part of those involved in the world-wide distribution of liquid sustainance, could be funded as a result of the implementation of some very innovative idea/s in the context of the industries' legal requirement to re-cycle the packaging of its products.

As the Dalai Lama has detailed in his Instructions for LIFE ...

REMEMBER that the best relationship IS one which
your LOVE for eachother exceeds your need for eachother.
