s 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.
Many moons later in California, whilst speaking to the female dyslexic designer of the very latest Silicon Graphics workstation - I was introduced to Thomas West's epic book IN THE MIND's EYE - as a result of which I helped to set up an event of the same name.
Most of the 73 exhibitors were
members of the ADT - otherwise
known as the Arts Dyslexia Trust
and the idea was to present work,
not only from the fine arts, but
from designers of all kinds
including scientists and engineers.

re people easily align with each other because everyone wants only for the highest good of all and everyone else; and where the people are socializing, sharing food, playing, and having fun when they come together.
We see communities popping up everywhere with high creative ideals; where new ideas, inventions, arts, handicrafts, technological and recreational projects abound; and where the people are loving what they do because they are doing what they love.
And we see communities frequently devoting time together for the sacred aspects of life; where they remember to create a spiritual environment that makes it easy for everyone in the community to experience ONENESS.

ts as a force for political change. He begins with his birth, giving it a tinge of Midnight’s Children. “I came into the world to the soundtrack of history.” As V-2 rockets fell on London, Britain and the US bombed Dresden. Wandering through the wreckage of buildings as a child, Schama told us, “even then I understood a new kind of warfare had been unleashed on the world, and us defenceless civilians were its targets.”

arts would coexist.
Experimental, and with the emphasis on the theoretical, the Bauhaus represented an opportunity to extend beauty and quality to every home through well-designed and industrially produced products and structures.
The Bauhaus style went on to become one of the most influential currents in design, modernist architecture and art, and architectural education and ever since it has had a profound influence upon developments in those spheres, as well as in graphic, interior and industrial design and typography.

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."
