Comment on: Blog Post 'Simple IS ...': hild ? Isn’t this what Jesus was teaching, that becoming like a child, full of curiosity, wonder, enthusiasm, and unconditional love is the way to heaven? What has happened to our culture that we feel like we must constantly try to impress people with what we have done rather than simply being authentically who we are? Simplicity is one of the keys to living in a fulfilled way. A simple life that allows time to live in the moment, aware of nature and in true relationship with other living beings is more fulfilling than one of constant struggle and focus on working and making money. Are there ways you could simplify your life ? Would sharing your authentic self by being present in the moment at all times serve you and the world better than pursuing huge plans and working yourself to death? Would it be wonderful to recapture the joyful innocence of youth ? Ted Murray …; Added by Michael Grove at 7:10 on July 15, 2014

Comment on: Blog Post 'THE FORCE OF GOD ...': ld be simpler than humans genetically. Plus, amoebas date back farther in time than humans, and simplicity is considered an attribute of primitive beings. It just didn’t make sense. The idea of directionality in nature, a gradient from simple to complex, began with the Greeks, who called nature physis, meaning growth. That idea subtly extended from changes over an organism’s lifetime, to changes over evolutionary time after Charles Darwin argued that all animals descend from a single common ancestor. When his contemporaries drew evolutionary trees of life, they assumed increasing complexity. Worms originated early in animal evolution. Creatures with more complex structures originated later. Biologists tweaked evolutionary trees over the following century, but generally, simple organisms continued to precede the complex. …; Added by Michael Grove at 6:21 on March 1, 2016

Our TIME is NOW "Meeting the challenges of this century requires updating our economic logic and operating system from an obsolete "ego-system" focused entirely on the well-being of oneself to an eco-system awareness that emphasises the well-being of the whole." - Otto Scharmer …; Added by Michael Grove at 10:13 on July 6, 2013

Comment on: Blog Post 'THE ACT of FOCUSSING our CONSCIOUSNESS ...': can I act as a conscious and sensitive man without losing my masculine edge? How can I find the inner strength and fortitude I need to face the great challenges of my life? How can I overcome aggression and use my anger in a constructive, rather than destructive, way? How much of my identity as a man is being conditioned and limited by my culture, and how can I become free of those limitations? How can I be more present and find more happiness in my intimate relationships? How can I establish a more healthy relationship with sex, intimacy, and pornography? How can I find and express my masculine power without being a complete asshole about it? Many men struggle to ride the line between power and compassion, between strength and vulnerability, between purpose and passion. It can be difficult for men to venture very far beyond the conventional norms of masculinity, and we have few roadmaps or role models to help men cultivate qualities like sensitivity, presence, and openness without feeling like they are surrendering their masculinity in the process. Our world places some unforgiving restrictions upon men when it comes to the avenues of self-discovery and self-expression available to them. The more we can begin opening these avenues to men, the better the world will be. This is what makes this discussion so important. Robert and Ken disclose a newly emerging path for men in the 21st century, one that allows these “softer” qualities to actually enhance and deepen a man’s sense of masculinity, rather than diminish it. It is a discussion that brings some much-needed relief to the pain so many men feel in their hearts, minds, and guts. Whether you are a man who is looking for new ways to develop and express your masculinity, or a woman who wishes to better understand and support the men in your life, you will definitely want to check out this provocative discussion. …; Added by Michael Grove at 22:06 on May 14, 2015

Comment on: Blog Post 'What is Permaculture ?': ll Mollison of Tasmania, Australia in the early 1970s to mean Permanent Agriculture or Permanent Culture. David Holmgren was a collaborator in this venture. Dr. Mollison was awarded the Right Livelihood Award (otherwise known as the Alternative Nobel Prize) in 1981, for this contribution in the search for alternatives. It was initially conceived as a framework for a more permanent basis for agriculture rather than just the raising of annual crops. The idea was a beneficial assembly of multi-crop elements of perennial trees, shrubs, annuals (food crops), herbs, vegetables, useful weeds, fungi, tuber crops with integration of animals, aimed towards household and community self-reliance for food sufficiency. However, Permaculture has now come to mean much more than food sufficiency at household level, for, self-sufficiency in food becomes meaningless unless people have access to land, information and financial resources. Today Permaculture has come to mean a whole life system encompassing various strategies for people to acquire all those resources, including access to land needed to evolve self-financing and self- managed systems to provide for all their material and non-material needs, without depleting, polluting and destroying the natural resources of the biosphere. Central to Permaculture is the relationship humans should have towards natural resources and their wise, ethical and judicious utilization so that posterity is not saddled with the consequences of our irresponsible conduct. Today Permaculture has made a start all over the world, in some aspect or other, on some issue or other. Except in three countries of the world (Uruguay, Afghanistan and one African country) there are Permaculture groups, organizations, and individuals undertaking efforts, howsoever small to repair the Earth and become more responsible for their actions and enabling others to do likewise. …; Added by Michael Grove at 14:59 on February 19, 2022
