WE are the NORMAL ones ...

[Michael Grove]

the autistics, the dyslexics, the mis-fits 

& the rebels, the integral artists, 

the non-celebrities and those whose dictum

IS to live LIFE happily by living unseen,

the ones for whom the switch

has already been flicked,

and those who just refuse to be

the same as the rest. 

THE ones whose instinctive conscious ACTIONS are driven by an -

intuitive wisdom of knowledge of understanding of  THE collective

[un]conscious - THE ones with A STORY of LIFE to TELL ...




AS the co-creative collective conscious emerges from the collective [un]conscious it becomes ever more apparent that information IS the light of that knowledge of understanding; and that the amount of information is evolving at an exponential rate as a result of our species experience of the ever changing and ever more complex interconnected and interwoven components of the web of life which constitutes the multi-verse of y[our] parallel universes - across the spectrum of UNIVERSAL ENERGY.

THE BODY as an energy and information field

IT IS ONLY our conscious perception of TIME & SPACE, limited as it is by the speed

of light, which allows us by a process of holographic mind-shift to consciously

interpret the subconscious manifestations of the world and re-act to Buddha’s call

to ACTION which was so succinctly confirmed by Jesus as Jesus not Christ, and

subsequently by Mohammed, Einstein, Carl Jung, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin,

Feynman et al.


"TIME to honour the transcendent truth in every faith tradition

and find the place of global unity, knowing that the heart of ALL

paths point us toward our conscious evolution as humans."

HOMO SAPIENS is indeed

evolution BECOME conscious

of IT SELF.

A radical new view of human nature has been slowly emerging and gaining momentum, with revolutionary implications for the way we understand and organize our economic, social and environmental relations in the centuries to come.

We have discovered Homo Empathicus.

A Brief History of Integral: The Story So Far

[Michael Grove]

‎"EVOLUTIONARY is a play on the word "REVOLUTIONARY", and I mean it to convey something of the revolutionary nature of evolution as an idea. Evolutionaries are revolutionaries, with all the personal and philosophical commitment that word implies.

They are not merely curious bystanders to the evolutionary process, passive believers in the established sciences of evolution, though all certainly value those insights.

They are committed activists and advocates - often passionate ones - for the importance of evolution at a cultural level."

The BBC 4 documentary examines the question “Did Jesus Die?”. It looks at a bunch of ideas around this question until minute 25, where this examination of ideas takes a very logical and grounded turn with surprising conclusions that demonstrate…The three wise men were Buddhist monks who found Jesus and came back for him around puberty. After being trained in a Buddhist Monastery he spread the Buddhist philosophy, survived the crucifixion, and escaped to Kashmir, Afghanistan where he died an old man at the age of 80.

When one considers Jesus as Jesus rather than Jesus as Christ a completely

new perspective of the Relationship between Jesus and GOD is established.

Jesus talked ABOUT God, TO God, and AS God. He said that we can, too. 

This leads us to three vital practices that help us connect to these Three Faces:

The 3rd-person Infinite Face is accessed through reflection ABOUT the Divine.

The 2nd-person Intimate Face is accessed through devotional prayer TO God.

The 1st-person Inner Face is accessed through meditation AS God, the realization that I am one with God.

In reflection, we contemplate the glory of creation, from quarks to the infinite cosmos. We think deeply about the Unmanifest as well as the manifest world. This can move us into praise, worship, awe, and mystical immersion in all of nature itself. This is the home of nature mysticism.

Prayer has a long, traditional and mystical history in Christianity as devotion, conversation, and communion with God, frequently addressed as a deity form. Prayer is often expressed by spoken or inward mental words addressed to God in a 2nd-person, personal way. It can also involve chanting, dancing, glossolalia, and other devotional forms. Prayer is the home of deity mysticism. 

Meditation, in an integrally-informed Christian framework, focuses on the progressive quieting of the mind, leading to detachment from all forms and a realization of our nondual True Self, our Oneness with God, I Amness. While Christian prayer focuses on our relating to God who is the Divine Other, Christian meditation centers on our identification as God - I am one with all that God is. We may think of prayer as operating in the subtle realm of forms, while mediation ventures into the causal realm of formless emptiness (or “fullness” as we may also experience it). This is the home of formless mysticism.

I believe that it would BE an almost impossible task  to even consider becoming a Leonardo da Vinci, let alone BEING HIMSELF, unless one could be regarded as one of the NORMAL ONES; and in the particular case of Leonardo da Vinci, born as a left-handed, dyslexic bastard, rejected by [y]our father, to a world of the City States of the land that was eventually to become Italy; whose collective....

predominately patriarchal mindset, at that TIME, was based on the religious beliefs of ROME and the Gregorian Calendar; when even the barbarian hoards of northern Europe and Scandinavia had by this time accepted the 'dowsing in water' of baptism, as a requirement of subscribing to the...

"new then" ORDER of DENIAL of our species very connessione with NATURE.

“People are so afraid of variety that they try to fit everything into a tiny little box with a specific label,”

says 16-year-old Rosie King, who is bold, brash and autistic. She wants to know: Why is everyone so worried about being normal? She sounds a clarion call for every  kid, parent, teacher and person to celebrate uniqueness. It’s a soaring testament to the potential of human diversity.
