Comment on: Blog Post 'I Am You': compassion for myself in another form. It’s another self-compassion method. Imagine the pain you feel when you see someone else suffering — the suffering you feel is real suffering, just as the other person is suffering. Yet, most people don’t actually ease that suffering in themselves. So, how do you ease that suffering in yourself when you see someone else suffering? You reach out, empathize, make a connection, and look for a way to reduce the other person’s suffering, and your own. If the other person opens up, that’s great.

Comment on: Blog Post 'Transforming our ways of seeing the world': n way of seeing it." Michael O'Callaghan The Global Vision movie is an impressionistic musical feature film conceived as a collective self-portrait of Humankind and the biosphere – a concept without precedent in art or motion picture history. It will also be the first feature film to be collectively designed by its own audience on the web.The content will form a mythopoeic sales pitch for a sustainable civilisation, and an artistic attempt to express our human identity at the dawn of the global age, in an inspiring way that is meaningful for the global public. Looking at the pattern that connects humankind, the biosphere, technology, and the collective unconscious, the film is also a metaphor about the connection between the world situation and one's own way of seeing.Now in development for theatrical release. …; Added by Michael Grove at 14:00 on October 16, 2015

Comment on: Video 'Rob Hopkins: Transition to a world without oil': aith that governed over the feudal economy with the Age of Reason. Theologians and philosophers have continued to battle over faith vs. reason ever since, their debates often spilling over into the cultural and political arenas, with profound consequences for society. Today, however, at the outset of a global economy and the biosphere era, a new generation of scientists, scholars, and social reformers are beginning to challenge some of the underlying assumptions of both the Age of Faith and the Age of Reason, taking us into the Age of Empathy. The empathic advocates argue that, for the most part, both earlier narratives about human nature fail to plumb the depths of what makes us human and therefore leave us with cosmologies that are incomplete stories—that is, they fail to touch the deepest realities of existence. That’s not to dismiss the critical elements that make the stories of faith and reason so compelling. It’s only that something essential is missing—and that something is “embodied experience.” In the empathic civilization, spirituality invariably replaces religiosity. Spirituality is a deeply personal journey of discovery in which empathic experience—as a general rule—becomes the guide to making connections, and becomes the means to foster transcendence." ALL hail to Jeremy Rifkin, the Huffington Post and the Royal Society of Arts in London ... and if that's enough to convince us that A NEW GAIA IS on the right track then Taking Back OUR lives from the Wall Street Mafia - should be the order of the day!!?? .…; Added by Michael Grove at 13:41 on December 2, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'Venus of willendorf': cting women in art has evolved dramatically but remained a key theme over time. It is funny to think that such a small and simple artifact can have such a huge importance in history and be so highly revered when it looks as though a five year old could make it with play-doh. But I think it ultimately reflects the evolution of the human brain and the way it works as various cultures progress and develop. The people of the Paleolithic cultures value fertility in a woman above all, but hundreds of years later, let’s say English people of the Middle Ages nobility, value obedience and wealth in addition to fertility. As cultural values transform, the impact they have an artistic themes and elements shifts as well.By examining the lineage of the “Venus” figures, you can see this notion take shape, from Venus of Willendorf to Venus de Milo to Venus of Urbino. What is also interesting as you refer back to often, is the concept of symbolism. Almost every archaeological discovery has an attached symbolic meaning of some sort. Who is to say what hair symbolizes? Can it not just be a simple depiction?Personally, I think that using symbolism is an important tool for archaeologists to help piece together bits of information to form a whole picture and further develop their understanding of a culture that we have little connection to. http://anthropology.msu.edu/anp264-ss13/2013/03/28/venus-of-willendorf/ …; Added by Michael Grove at 8:27 on February 11, 2019
