g us to the chaos point has been accelerating – there is no going back – the bifurcation point is coming – some predict around the end of 2012. However, there is great opportunity at such times as now. In periods of relative stability, the system tends to dampen our change. But that is not true in the period just prior to reaching the chaos point.
Although chaotic systems are linked to past actions, the future is open during the window of time just before we reach the chaos point. As the system reaches the limits of its stability, chaos theory shows that the smallest “push” or “fluctuation” can impel the system to develop into a new and different trajectory. Because of this super sensitivity in the system even a small fluctuation produce large-scale effects. This is the legendary “butterfly” effect. As the saying goes, a butterfly flaps its wings in San Francisco and a storm is produced in Beijing, China. Thus, this time in history presents a window of unprecedented freedom, for those who are consciously aware, to become midwives for a new world that is struggling to be born.Foundation for Mind-Being Research

aradigm building currently hope that, with the start of the Barack Obama era on January 20, 2009, we may have entered a phase, not only of political change, but also of an (at least potentially) broader and ‘deeper’ cultural and paradigm transition. Indeed, if only part of what Obama promised as political, cultural, ecological and societal transformation117 becomes reality, such a paradigm transition could unleash broad effects in the West, and possibly also beyond. It could influence the cultural and social constellation not only of the USA and of its adjacent so-called first world, but of internationalized societies around the globe. And if nothing else, it could offer a noticeably improved cultural-psychological environment for attempts at integrative innovation.

ciousness, and the mapmakers of the terrain". And as Scandinavia is one of the regions centred on the tipping point to second tier, it's within our potential take on this challenge, "to provide for the rest of the world the kinds of models that the world needs."Don Beck quoting EinsteinThe urgency and level of caring necessary must now be no less than planetary in its scope. It's taken some fourteen billion years for life and consciousness to gain the capacity for self- consciousness, while at the same time the biosphere, which makes life possible, is now threatened. But to generate the quality of solutions and level of moral caring that will be necessary to save the biosphere, society, our education system, and ourselves, we must change the level of our own thinking. It's time to focus our energy and exploration on the inward dimension of what it means to be an evolving human being.…
sensitivity - which Professor Cox has explained in the second episode of Wonders of LIFE - conjure up, in some "sense of place", an explanation as to why the various sages that passed the torch during the journey that was ZEN from India to Japan - truly understood that the NEVER changing amount of ENERGY of the universe came from NO THING and will eventually return to NO THING • and as the ZEN Master Huang Bo so succinctly proposed ...

ts as a force for political change. He begins with his birth, giving it a tinge of Midnight’s Children. “I came into the world to the soundtrack of history.” As V-2 rockets fell on London, Britain and the US bombed Dresden. Wandering through the wreckage of buildings as a child, Schama told us, “even then I understood a new kind of warfare had been unleashed on the world, and us defenceless civilians were its targets.”
