ll we know about human life on board Spaceship Earth this moment in Universe - and how to learn in the shortest possible time. We have already referred many times to the world's pro tem power-structure-wought obstacles blocking the critical path to human understanding of the nature of reality."…
e of every capability of the WEB 2.0 protocol - before we even start considering the use
of WEB 3.0 - to simulate real methods of open and disparate discussions, down the pub so to
speak, it is doomed to failure from a truly synergetic stand-point. Needless to say the seed that
was zaadz has been sown and blossomed in many ways, and although the window of opportunity
which WEB 2.0 presented is now almost closed, who knows what the future of the WEB and its
potential 10 billion users will bring !!!???
During the early part of my training as a civilian pilot/air traffic controller in the 1960's I was first
introduced to the mind-blowing experience of "flying" a de Havilland Trident Simulator. It was
mind-blowing for me, as a dyslexic 3D thinker, because my own vision as a child was of a future
time when we would be able to personally experience a simulation of the reality such that we
would not be able to tell the difference between the simulation and the reality. It had been
because of the support from my parents and their parents that I had succeeded in getting into
that simulator in the first place, but along the way I had been exposed to all of their diverse
spiritual & scientific beliefs despite the fact that they all subscribed to a similar set of values and
principles. As a result I was set on my own journey of discovery for the scientific reasoning for
mine and others personal experiences of spiritual connectivity. My eventual qualification as a joint
civilian/military air traffic controller took me to places I could not have even imagined - to the
point where I was being invited by the likes of IBM to present to them personal computer driven
multi-media simulations of future 3D global radar scenarios.
During the nascency of the world-wide web, discussions with Hewlett Packard, Kodak & Phillips
suggested the possibility of establishing a very powerful consumer driven social networking
environment, based on discussions about the implications and applications of the still to be
ratified WEB 2.0 protocol. As has often been the case, in my experience, existing companies have
been slow to react to the invariably small window of opportunity with which they are faced and
so it was with HP, Phillips and then Kodak. In the meantime the likes of Friendster and Myspace
appeared on the scene without incorporating the really powerful development capabilities which
the WEB 2.0 protocol provided for. So it was during 2005 that I became aware of a team of people
who were fully WEB 2.0 savvy, led by a man called Brian Johnson, working on a project called
ZAADZ. From the day of BETA launch I watched from afar and became mightily impressed by
every aspect of the ZAADZ initiative and so it was after some nearly six months I plunged in
head-first.
In the meantime I continue to cherish what was and try to NOT forget that we are what we are
in some small and even significant way, because of our TIME@zaadz.

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."

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."
