- gh material eyes against the background of a material world so that 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 & with each other." "It is the beginning of a new level of empowerment and responsibility for our existence."

- e people for the benefit of a few of the people. Having switched over to digital broadcasting, however, at least the TV Licence payer had the choice, in respect of the River Pageant, to turn to SKY NEWS' excellent coverage of the event from early morning onwards. Out of 562 comments to date - Ed Vaughan's comment sums up my feelings ABSOLUTELY -"Mark Thompson, you mark my word, is the cat's whiskers and anything and everything BUT running a media corporation. He was adamant that the BBC coverage was really superb. He's quite happy to receive in excess of £800k but would always draw a comparison with USA media corps. The reality IS - what does he actually do minute by minute during the day? Being human he has to visit the lavatory so that time would cost a few thousand pounds each year; washing his hands, combing his hair, blowing his nose and yes drinking his morning coffee. I bet he's never costed these things out. His predecessor gained fame when he arrived at the BBC (Greg Dyke) his first words to staff were - "we can cut the crap" so as I said the lavatory is an important feature." PLAN your work - WORK your plan - in terms of the BBC, increasingly appears to be based on - "HOW can we spend our share of the TV Licence levy with as little cost as possible - so that we the planners can continue to live in the manner to which we have become accustomed."

- rty values crashed; foreclosure and bankruptcy rates bled. For states, counties, cities, and towns; for manufacturers, retailers, and middle- and low-income families, the consequences were—and continue to be—catastrophic. Other nations were soon caught up in the undertow.In late 2009 and early 2010, the economy showed some signs of renewed vigor. Understandably, everyone wants it to get “back to normal.” But here’s a disturbing thought: What if that is not possible? What if the goalposts have been moved, the rules rewritten, the game changed? What if the decades-long era of economic growth based on ever-increasing rates of resource extraction, manufacturing, and consumption is over, finished, and done? What if the economic conditions that all of us grew up expecting to continue practically forever were merely a blip on history’s timeline?It’s an uncomfortable idea, but one that cannot be ignored: The “normal” late-20th century economy of seemingly endless growth actually emerged from an aberrant set of conditions that cannot be perpetuated.That “normal” is gone. One way or another, a “new normal” will emerge to replace it. Can we build a different, more sustainable economy to replace the one now in tatters?Let’s be clear: I believe we are in for some very hard times. The transitional period on our way toward a post-growth, equilibrium economy will prove to be the most challenging time any of us has ever lived through. Nevertheless, I am convinced that we can survive this collective journey, and that if we make sound choices as families and communities, life can actually be better for us in the decades ahead than it was during the heady days of seemingly endless economic expansion.
