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.

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.…

6. Evolve consciously. Humanity must qualify to survive. For this to happen, the time will come when humans will have acquired enough knowledge of generalized principles to permit a graduation from a class two (entropic or selfish) evolution into a class one (syntrophic or cooperative) species. Thereafter, we will begin to make all the right choices for all the right reasons. Stay tuned to your own stream of consciousness, so that you can continue to grow in your syntrophic capacities. Focus on your own conscious evolution, and on the evolution of your own consciousness, and you will be helping humanity evolve to a higher level.

w is self-justifying. It makes a (quite spurious) claim to "objectivity" in such a way
as to exclude human experience and knowing from any possibility of delivering the "truth".
The objectivity is spurious because that choice of perspective is a subjective one. Perhaps more
importantly, it is quite simply out of touch with the scientific nature of reality. Remember, we
have used science itself both in our method and our reasoning, to establish that the "mind"
and the "matter" are not in any way separable.
Put another way, we have provided scientific evidence for the existence of
those things which people describe as "spirit", "essence" and "soul".

The most vulnerable group in the market is the whitebox system builders.
“Although the reduction in shipments was not a surprise, the magnitude of the contraction is both surprising and worrisome," said David Daoud, IDC research director, Personal Computing.
“The industry is going through a critical crossroads, and strategic choices will have to be made as to how to compete with the proliferation of alternative devices and remain relevant to the consumer. Vendors will have to revisit their organisational structures and go-to market strategies, as well as their supply chain, distribution, and product portfolios in the face of shrinking demand and looming consolidation.”

wn work included the concept of the "S-matrix" (a mathematical tool that helps us understand Standard Model particles). Beyond the physics community, Wheeler is probably best known for coining the terms "black hole" and "wormhole". But he also coined a slightly less familiar phrase - "it from bit" - and this is what concerns us here. The idea of "it from bit" IS a complex one, and Wheeler's own description of it is probably still the best. In 1990 he suggested that "every 'it' - every particle, every field of force, even the space-time continuum itself — derives its function, its meaning, its very existence entirely… from the apparatus-elicited answers to yes-or-no questions, binary choices, bits". The "it from bit" principle, he continued, "symbolises the idea that every item of the physical world has at bottom… an immaterial source and explanation: that which we call reality arises in the last analysis from the posing of yes-no questions and the registering of equipment-evoked responses; in short, that all things physical are information-theoretic in origin and that this is a participatory universe".
