Comment on: Blog Post 'robert m. pirsig': beyond the distinction of subject or object, and is known when the human mind transcends both sense (by which we perceive the "outside" world) and reason (by which we conceive the mental world of science and philosophy) and discovers the Reality itself, which is both being and consciousness in an indivisible unity." - Bede Griffiths "IT IS QUALITY, not dialectic, which is the generator of everything we know" - Robert Pirsig …; Added by Michael Grove at 13:36 on January 21, 2013

Comment on: Blog Post 'some thoughts...': ity for self-reflective awareness, simply in order for them to be able to experience happiness? It's my conviction that we are here for a reason, that there is a grand and great purpose to our presence in this universe, and that none of us are going to truly find what we are looking for unless we get over our misguided pursuit of personal happiness and connect with that greater sense of purpose—that ultimate reason for being." — Andrew Cohen …; Added by Michael Grove at 9:09 on July 3, 2012

Comment on: Video 'Gillian Tett Keynote Remarks at CED Economic Summit (Part 1)': grity of the Over The Counter Derivatives Market. As a result of her initiatives it became ever more apparent - at the highest level of both politics and finance - that those in charge subscribed to their own self-serving faith in the OTC derivatives market operation - to the extent that Brooksley Born's "constructive criticism" was entirely without foundation. 6 weeks after congress threw out any chance of acknowledging the problem - let alone fixing it - major panic ensued in the market as the hedge fund Long Term Capital Management collapsed towards potential bankrupcy! "For someone whose eyes would go glassy when hearing "derivatives" or "hedge funds", this programme was a revelation. In an entertaining and clear narrative, it made sense of the issues involved for the first time. It is also the story of a real American hero, Brooksley Born, who unfortunately had to learn, in Gore Vidal's mot, that America provides every freedom, including the one not to be heard. But PBS is there to fight that attitude, and as a Canadian I congratulate you for this magnificent documentary which had me riveted from beginning to end." Maarten van Dijk Oct 21, 2009 12:29 "We have to go back to the glass-steagall act and purge what Bill clinton signed into law replacing the glass-steagall act.. All executives of public corp. should be held personally and jointly liable for bad business practices.. tough regulations should be in place.. Bring Volcker and Brooksley Born into the mix.. They are the real financial experts... They have high standards of morality and have a honest heart to protect the public from corrupt executives.. They used their God-given talent for the common good." Florendo Navaleza Oct 22, 2009 01:40 This was truly a political and financial "case study in arrogance" in the context of the absolute truth that neither GOD or POLITICS or the FINANCIAL system are "religion in any shape or form" - because it was the faith in self-serving religion rather than the faith in common-sense which eventually brought the financial system to its knees in late 2008 at the expense of the peoples of this world who had absolutely no say in the matter because of the total lack of representation in Congress.…; Added by Michael Grove at 16:03 on January 19, 2011

Comment on: Blog Post 'The Next Scientific (R)evolution': his life and changed the lives of everyone who looks beyond his/her nose and asks what kind of a world we live in ... Edgar ... Dr. Walter Schempp, a German scientist who happens to be a descendant of Kepler, discovered the Quantum Hologram fifty years ago or so, and this shows that Cartesian duality, the dominant belief of the past four hundred years, that body and mind are realms of reality that DO NOT interact - IS totally WRONG. Schempp's Quantum Holography, is showing us that the intuitive communication I have experienced in space - and that others are also experiencing - is more fundamental than our normal perceptions. In English we call intuition our sixth sense, but we should really call it our first sense because it is rooted in the quantum world and the communication to which it testifies has been around long before human sensory mechanisms were evolved. There is an intrinsic awareness in nature that reaches down all the way to the quantum level, to the subatomic particles that make up matter. That to me, and I know you will agree, Ervin, is exactly where the crux of the matter lies. There is a form of consciousness in nature. This consciousness is as important and as basic as energy. Ervin ... A few months ago quantum physicists Leonard Susskind, Craig Hogan and Brian Greene - among others - came up with the idea that space-time is a hologram where everything is "entangled". We know that in a hologram all of the information that makes up an image is given everywhere and at the same time, so not time is involved in going from one place to another - everything is present everywhere. This holographic information is likely to be present in the universe, and it is likely to be given for all time. It is not ephemeral. The latest experiment carried out a few months ago testify to this. This instant interconnection, what physicists call entanglement and nonlocality, may be the key to better understanding of the nature of reality. It is also the secret of a healthier life and a healthier and more sustainable world. At the heart of space and time all things are non locally connected, and we can tap into these "deep connections" and experience the oneness you experienced in space (on your return from the moon). This experience is important for us, because it is the source of our feeling of empathy and solidarity. It motivates us to cooperate, to work together. And cooperation, as we both know, is a basic pre-condition of surmounting the problems we confront in the world today. …; Added by Michael Grove at 7:06 on December 17, 2013

Comment on: Photo 'LAUGHTER without': t from our deeper sense of who we are as beautiful souls—we withdraw from life instead of enjoying it. Laughter brings us back to ourselves and back to life.” Sonia Choquette from Trust Your Vibes *tickle tickle*What have you laughed at lately?!? If you’re looking for a GREAT chuckle, I think you’ll dig this YouTube clip called “Everything’s Amazing and Nobody’s Happy” by comedian Louis CK on Conan O’Brien’s show talking about, among other things, how it should be illegal to complain about anything when sitting in a chair in the air (aka flying)! It’s HILARIOUS and an incredible reminder on how easily we can take life’s gifts for granted. :) And, here’s one of the 33 “six sensory practice” exercises that concludes the chapter called “Laughing Matters”: “This week, laugh a lot. Look for the humor in things: Sing in the shower, create shampoo sculptures with your hair in the bathtub, make funny faces while brushing your teeth, read humorous books, rent comedies, go to a karaoke club with a friend and join in, call your best pal from grade school and reminisce, goof around with your kids, and play with your dog. In other words, get over your seriousness and let your hair down! Fake it if you have to, but do a good job of it. Don’t worry if you look foolish—the more foolish you are, the more enlightened you’ll feel.” …; Added by Michael Grove at 9:47 on February 13, 2015
