Well, I write to inform several who have inquired, and those who might be curious, about my latest experiences to be kept a short story.

I have just completed my annual obligation to file and pay my tax return and I came through remarkably unscathed in what amounted to a 5 day investment of time.

As for CEN, I am trying to get connected with anyone who can bring resources to bear on the problem and thanks to Tricia Deane, "The Queen of Light in Different Colors," I found this site: www.PetitionOnline.com – which is doing what I advocate without any administrative responsibility. That is to say, petitions on this site are author posted by anyone and the signers are not members of any specific group representing a discriminating set of ethics. That is good and that is bad, but I hope to email with the President of the company, Kevin Matthews and see what he has to say.  More >

 Networking Conscious Evolution1 comment

Establishing an ever greater network of conscious evolutionists, has got to be a valuable set of tasks to pursue.

- It will save redundant waste of resources and time if we can decide what types of networking are going to be the most important, related specifically to supplying those essential goods and services world-wide. There is no need for us to write software if others are already doing it.
- But we must be able to show credibility in order to establish a network. Peoples questions about their investment must be answerable.
- By networking CE groups specializing in specific things like, FCE’s place of learning, "The Center For Conscious Evolution," other groups can relax to do their thing, while they can also rely on the synergy supplied with data connections, and services provided by the other groups – an interdependent relationship – Sounds like Nature!
- Database design is very important especially for membership, if we are going to network teams of specialists in virtual space, and give legal petitions and declarations.
- We should want to link this power to the aid of every worthy NPO (non-profit-organization) so we can help them do what they know best.

This is where our philosophy is going to be very important. We have to connect in harmony, not at cross purposes or in contradiction to one another on the root stuff, the basic stuff. We must know the biomechanical, the biochemical, and the biomental systems we are trying to repair our part in. We will not be successful with a selfish approach, or with minds closed to the ideas of others, we must think in Universal terms, so we can get along Universally.

This is a better outline of what I see needs doing. I have written several other posts on the subject of CEN if you care to review them, in my log and the "Subjects" section. Please feel free to comment your suggestions on how we candoo some of these things. Thanks!

PS – I forgot to say anything about raising money, or investing, next one I guess.  More >

Just wanted to give y’all a look at my Whycandoo workspace and studio on the lower floor of our humble abode. As you can see, I have plenty of computers to keep me busy and musical instruments for distraction, however, my hair is not distracted from its genetic destiny. Rather interesting that today I decided to change all the computer gear and make one super G4 arrangement with enough plastic credit to add a new scanner to the configuration. I just wish I could afford a good digital camera, yet that might abuse you with all the pics I would post – so that goes on the shelf for now.

In general, I am trying to maximize a balance between my time here and the need to earn cash. Jobs have been hard to come by., but now that the "economy is recovering" I feel much better.

I would describe my mission to be one of a facilitator, or better still, to make stuff that facilitates our ability to contribute responsibly, where the old methods show potential pathways, they are not adequate to the scale of our joint mission in Conscious Evolution. I see that we might work on several fronts, which are related and connected; Consensus, Petitions and News web technologies. Blending our voices in various declarations will bring attention that is news worthy. Let it carry our cause into the light of social awareness by every loving means we can find.

I am still waiting for suggestions on the name for our work group and any other suggestions how to expand the amount of assistance we can muster. I believe we should be thinking on the largest scale possible as talent abounds the world round, Philanthropic, Grass-roots, Political, Institutional and Professional. Kim has started us off – what else next?

When tragedy strikes the world on any scale it is an opportunity to change the forces that created the problem. Usually the aftermath is a direct example of matching negative energy – always accompanied by denial of any complicity or responsibility for conditions that bred such an event.

When tragedy strikes, it is the best time to be active and keep the tiller straight. If we have Lovesense as central human purpose the winds of change won’t blow us off course, and few would dare try to coup the majority voice. We suffer because we are cowards to die for the right to love.

I am a strong advocate of Universal Philosophy for this specific reason. Shouldn’t we have a good reason to die? How hard is it to agree on ethics of goodness? If we can agree in general terms, the pirates won’t be able to play their game, because no one will empower them to even begin the game. On the other hand, we are ruled by the pirates who run the dominant game, so we have to change the rules under duress and take back our right to build spiritual peace.

Every day we have the chance to do it better. Silence and by-standing will only propagate problems through endorsement, where it requires expression of the alternatives to achieve improvement. Yes it matters what we do at home and we should tend our own gardens, but we must also protect the divine system that provides freedom for all our individual variations of life.

I envision days when a person with a gun can’t belittle someone without one. A time when we will not empower acts of violence by defending the right to build and bear weapons; When we will have a personal sense of dignity that will not allow us to be blackmailed for a buck; When we will mob a mugger and cart him down to the police station; When we will refuse to participate in groups that intend selfish objectives at the expense of freedom of others; When we will prevent public servants from lying to us, keep the media from insulting out intelligence and advertisers from selling wares of poison to our children.

The moment by moment our troubles have been made and they can be reformed by making it better moment by moment.

Let us find the song, the voice, the transmission and let love ring out from every "mole hill in Mississippi to the mountains" of Tibet.  More >

I am most interested in learning what it will take to unite and manage larger groups of people, since we need ways to broaden common interest in addition to local concerns. Many of us are involved in local activities that invest in community health and there are many cocreative people in many groups around the world, but what are the next phases on the road of humanity’s success? Loving ethics are the core of our future and we must remember that moral behavior does not infringe upon freedom, it maximizes it.  More >

 My Log Document0 comments

I have been writing all my log entries and comments in one Word file since 12/06/2001 and now have 64 pages of personal thoughts relative to Conscious Evolution.

My goal for the log, is to only place text in it that will add value to life, and so I can prove myself consistent to me. I do this to create a whole trail, not bits and pieces. When I look back, it looks like I am succeeding for the most part. I told myself that I am going to be a writer - and all of you are helping me grow daily in that task. Beyond all other things I have been forced to become more balanced and less easily shaken from my perch with the exercise. My eyes are more steadily focused on the prize than ever before.

I have big plans you know…

and they aren’t plans for me,

but I will be part of them.

I also have collected a spreadsheet of >1800 quotes of quality, special, timeless thoughts about responsible consciousness. They seem invaluable to the big picture and proof that we did not just drop out of the crib yesterday. They offer inspiration to age old problem patterns, and priceless wisdom of integrity which always holds value for describing success. I find great comfort in the legacy of Conscious Evolutionists speaking the cause for thousands of years before it was hip. We don’t have search to find new answers, for we will always have the same temptations to master.

I received this message today which relates to my earlier post about the elementary things we need Universally. Wildhaber’s explanation is more scientific and combines two of my items, Universal Education in "Humanology" & Universal Society of Self Government into a single mental category. He will be in Santa Barbara California this Saturday. I wish I could go, but alas, I must perform on drums in a classic rock trio for three hours that night in another town.


You are invited to a special complimentary 2 hour workshop on fitness and health essentials -- THIS Sat., 16th, at 3 p.m. at 45 Humphrey Rd. (off (San Ysidro exit: head toward beach). Presented by Dr. Bruno Wildhaber, this unique program was developed in Switzerland and taught all over Europe. Called the "Three Avenue Approach", it focuses on the three inter-connected systems governing our physical well-being: the biomechanical, the biochemical, and biomental systems. Dr. Wildhaber worked in Switzerland where he established a clinic/rehabilitation clinic; he is the founder of Neruokinesiology, an adavanced technique designed to reduce premature degeneration and/or facilitate crisis care. And he designed a highly effective fitness-rehabilitation program called Airob-Stretch. Dr. Wildhaber has taken residence in Santa Barbara and is now beginning to share his skills and insights. This workshop is not just an introduction, but in itself delivers important information.

I am going to add the following statement to my profile and decided to post it here for those who are not likely to read my profile again:

I make an ongoing effort to read the "Subjects" section and all logs. I do prefer some to others, so it may not be equal treatment. I do not read alarming media news articles. I only leave comments if I feel I have something to add, or if the post moved me in a special way. If I do not post a comment on your log you are not being shunned.

Philosophy is continued here in broad response to so many comments in my previous log entry. I am inspired and impressed with the discussion that transpired there through your energies. I thank all of you for responding. A toast to jstarrs, who mentions that leading by responsible example is probably the significant way to make change, however this alone is not adequate for the scale of our global problem, nor does it address the need to educate children and the "lost" souls as to how spiritual fulfillment is had. We cannot allow a mere fraction of human controllers to dictate our fate harmfully, so we must stand must decide Bill’s question: "…Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer, The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?…" This is one reason it would be great to have a polling system.  More >

I see that humanity needs to do a few things which starts with each of us. My thinking takes me on journeys as to the practical application of making a unity for health, as my motto was posted. Many of us have this basic mode of conduct, yet we need lots more practice at reforming ourselves to be consistent models of better living. Humanity will be served if we can concentrate on the following items. They are conceived always with the idea that the content will be good for everyone at all times, non-secular, healthy, and not critical of existing groups of people. These are not edicts, they are imperatives to having a future of quality.

1] Forming Universal Philosophy – generic understanding of life in the Cosmos and on Earth. Without this we will always argue.

2] Forming Universal Education in "Humanology" – a generic system of education that does not attempt to control of contrive useless performance from students, knowing that learning never stops. Without this we will always be ill.

3] Forming Universal Society – for the lack of better description, a democratic organization of folks to manage the planet’s resources which in turn supplies sustenance, energy, infrastructure, and self regulation. This not like any model on the Earth at this time since governments are in the business of control for selfish purpose. Without this we will always be disorganized and kill ourselves.

4] Forming Universal Ecologiconomy – economic principle tied to a viable ecology where conservation is maximized and waste eliminated that is not biodegradable, and as in the meaning of the word "economic," humanity refrains from business activity without deep significance to a healthy world. The Earth can supply or needs, but not our excesses. Without this we will go completely broke.

These are the Big Four with very much the same priority. They are general and non-restrictive, but they are absolutely necessary. The word Universal is what defines them in integrity and application. This is our challenge; to adapt ourselves to a Universally successful way of living.

I have posted lengthy consciousness about these things in the "Subjects" section of NCN and continue writing my book on "The Root Of All Goodness." I want to cut to the chase and focus on those things that will turn humanity around. Perhaps I have omitted something, but these are the main categories that I can tell. This is "prime directive" stuff, not matters of opinion or personal preference. We cannot be protective of selfishness that interferes with accomplishing these missions, and yet the only reduction in freedom is the ability to choice things associated with death. If we could go back in time 1000 tears there might be more options, yet we arrive here with less choices, knowing that if we do not anticipate these needs we will have to do this following cataclysmic events and suffering not yet witnessed.

We have the knowledge and capability to make number 1, but the remaining three have no "Visible" model, so I would caution against any comments that use the present day affairs as being relevant to solution. This consciousness lies outside the box.

My notion of NCN is to facilitate members and their associated groups to work interdependently to these contexts of mission, which makes them community concerns, for which should be made visible public interface and methods of public participation.

Till next we post – "Happy Trails To You."  More >
