THYSELF as a left-handed dyslexic • who during my training as an Air Traffic Controller, realised my capability of being able to manipulate multi-dimensional space/time events, within my head • came naturally to me. This obviously had had a lot to do of course, with the parental and grand-parental encouragement, which I had received during my childhood, as a result of their own understanding that I was somehow different from anyone else but nevertheless responsible for treating everyone else with respect and responsibility, because everyone was just as important as everyone else. I started to really think about ALL of THIS, I suppose, when the universe decided that I would be the one controlling the EL AL flight when it was hi-jacked by Leila Khaled and her colleague, whilst I was working at London Area Radar Control on the north side of Heathrow Airport. Having lived with my maternal grandfather • who had survived Scapa Flow during the Great War • and a father who had survived the duration of WWII, relatively unscathed, following his travails in North Africa, until I left home to begin my Air Traffic Cadet Training at the Ministry of Aviation College at Hurn Airport; and having subsequently, read extensively about the consequences of ALL Conflicts in Space, Time and Culture, it was no surprise to have read about Clare Graves epiphany, so to speak, consequential to his own WWII experience of conflicts in space time and culture.Never forgetting that which Ervin Laszlo proposed when he declared that...

Hazard, entitled Manifesting the Noosphere, IS right on time and on
point. Jose Arguelles may be dead, but as John Hazard has so succinctly
summarised ... Arguelles has left us with a beautifully written book he
calls “Manifesto for the Noosphere.” He clearly envisions a new
synthesis of collective human awareness, a new state of mind that is
a shared experience.
“Just as the biosphere is the unified field of life and its support
systems…so the noosphere is the unified field of the mind, the
psychic reflection of the biosphere. Because we as a species, the
aggregate of consciousness-bearing cells of the evolving Earth,
are not yet awake to our role as a planetary organism, so too the
noosphere is not yet fully conscious. When humanity becomes
conscious of itself as a single organism and unites to activate the
noosphere, we will find the collective resolve and will to reconstruct
the biosphere and divert the energy of the human race from a path of
destruction based on a mechanised abstraction from nature to a new
harmonic order of super-organic reality based on an entirely
different state of consciousness than has yet existed on Earth.”
... and John Hazard concludes - Somehow, part of the description for
how we get there from here is caught up in our perception of time.
Mostly, our way of thinking about time is by thinking about the big
hand and the little hand on a clock. Time is linear, and we perceive
it when we pay attention to the phase of the moon, or the rising and
setting sun. And of course, we get older day by day.

using the same level of thinking that created them." In order to take this next Momentous Leap in human evolution, "it's critical that we find the cartographers of consciousness, 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 Einstein
IT was the British who first established an Air Traffic Control system following the use of an elementary form of radar during WWII. I was one of the first Air Traffic Controllers, to be selected from Grammar School, who qualified in 1967 with a pilot's licence, ATC Aerodrome, Approach, Approach Radar, Area, Area Radar (joint civil/military) and meteorological certifications to my credit. The cost of all of this to the taxpayer, at the time, was enormous, but boy did it give me, as a 3 dimensional thinking, left-handed so-called dyslexic, an unprecedented opportunity to truly understand the ramifications of social and cultural, common-sense mindsets, on the consequences of consequences of complex systems. Unfortunately, because of the cost, ATCOs have no longer been trained as such, for a very long time - in no dis-similar manner than commercial pilots have been required to fund their own training.
So methinks [IS] there any wonder therefore that Don Beck once suggested that a global Spiral Dynamics Integral Solution should be based on the well and truly tested system of Global Air Traffic Control, which was established following the Grand Canyon Collision of 2 commercial airliners !!!???
[IT] IS of course NOW all a case of ...
[BE]ing Drawn Down The Rabbit Hole
…
2 million years ago and not long afterwards, groups of hominids started
to fan out from their African homeland in search of new food sources. These early migrants
from the species Homo erectus are thought to have reached Southeast Asia via the Near East,
and they may have penetrated southern Europe. A second wave of migration began about
800,000 years ago. As the early humans adapted to their new homes and to the various
environmental and climatic conditions that they found, different sub-species and races
developed, among them Java Man, Peking Man and, in Europe Homo heidelbergensis and
the Neanderthal race. Meanwhile, in Africa, a new type of human evolved - one that would
eventually spread across the globe and supplant others. Homo sapiens sapiens, the modern
human race, dates back to about 100,000 years ago and around 40,000 years ago the species
reached central Europe and had arrived in Australia.
The Americas were the last continent to be populated
- by settlers crossing from Asia by way of the Bering
land bridge. The very success of Homo sapiens
sapiens in displacing all of its rivals is due to y[our]
species' greater mental capacity and, in particular, its
complex language skills. Human culture took a giant
step forward in the latter part of the Old Stone Age,
from about 40,000 to 10,000 years ago.
It was during this time when humans were
beginning to shape the environment which they
lived in and as they did so they began to feel the
need to express themselves through art. Art seems
to have been an exclusive preserve of y[our] species.
The number of works they produced increased
dramatically in the course of the last Ice Age as
y[our] ancestors spread around the world. The rock
drawings and engravings they created still have a
very powerful impact today, as do the small human
and animal figurines that the first sculptors carved
out of mammoth ivory. This carved limestone figure
gets its name from where it was found, near the
village of Willendorf in Austria. It stands just 11cm (4.3in) tall.
