Video: The Machine is Us/ing Us (Final Version): an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part). Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in similar issues. Once again, there are higher quality versions available for download: Windows Media File (55 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?2wnmpy2ibz1 Quicktime File (96 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?axhbjnmw4yn Mojiti Version (for comments, translations, etc.): http://mojiti.com/kan/2743/5984 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License. So you are welcome to download it, share it, even change it, just as long as you give me some credit and you don't sell it or use it to sell anything. I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just download the video and change the audio track to your liking. The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial for those who are interested.…; Added by Michael Grove at 15:39 on November 13, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'Understanding': ches like a tree, and each choice has ramifications, which may not be known in advance and this became particularly relevant to my very first discovery of Leonardo's own pen and ink drawings and especially of that which he himself imagined as DVODECEDRON ELEVA, which I have [BLOG]since envisioned by way of my own copied version of same as the global core of my NEW YIN/YANG MODEL for an equally represented FEMALE/MALE UNITED representative assembly of the all the peoples of all the nations of Planet Earth as custodians of all the PASSENGERS of SPACESHIP EARTH as Buckminster Fuller himself so succinctly proposed.…; Added by Michael Grove at 18:39 on September 2, 2020

Comment on: Video 'Spiral Dynamics and the Israel/Palestine Conflict (Don Beck)': we know ourselves afresh as beings of creative, world-forming information. This is way beyond the fluffy new-age notion of “we are all energy”. For me, this is where Integral Consciousness truly lies, in recognising how the interior and the exterior realities connect, both individually and collectively. All four quadrants are aspects of the universal “mind” – choices about our perspective, and which parts of the information we are engaging with. Knowing that, we have more chance of aligning ourselves with the world and with each other. It is the beginning of a new level of empowerment and responsibility for our existence.

Comment on: Blog Post 'LET GOD BE GOD ...': the 21st Century, we can look back and see where we all came from, which is no-thing whatsoever. God or absolute Spirit must have wanted to do something after doing absolutely no-thing whatsoever for eternity. That's why, when we experience the creative impulse in the universe vibrating and pulsating in our bodies and minds, we experience a powerful sense of purposefulness. When you awaken to evolution, you awaken to a profound sense of directionality that is inherent in the life force, that is inherent in existence itself. At the lower levels, the purpose of existence is to survive. At the highest levels, the purpose of existence is to create. God or Spirit as manifestation is the felt desire to create and give rise to that which has never existed before. —Andrew Cohen…; Added by Michael Grove at 17:08 on September 14, 2012

Comment on: Photo 'JUST ADD WATER': rom the perspective that I call evolutionary nonduality, we don't want to separate our self from the world process because when we do we fall into a false or dualistic way of thinking. We are not separate from the world process. In our own small way, we're all contributing to where we're going. The choices we make, the actions we take, what we say, what we don't say, are all adding to the momentum of the vast cosmic unfolding. When we really embrace the TRUTH - that we are not separate from the process that created us, then we need to become very clear about all the ways in which we are actually affecting the process, so that we can begin to more consciously impact its momentum in positive and evolutionary ways. ~ Andrew Cohen…; Added by Michael Grove at 8:54 on June 21, 2011

Comment on: Video 'Jacque Fresco-Banks, Debt, Fed': s not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.” That may sound like a romantic presentation, and perhaps there is a tinge of sentiment there. But GNP also does not account for our care of the elderly, prevention of abuse and support of the weakest. Some of that now looks to us like basic civilized behaviour.…; Added by Michael Grove at 11:15 on March 19, 2011
