DK Matai - November 18, 2007

Dear Friends, we were speaking to our friend Dr Harald Malmgren based in Virginia near Washington, DC, on Sunday in regard to the step-by-step financial meltdown as well as the rising threat of a trans-national avian influenza pandemic based on recent ATCA Socratic Dialogue and the subject of the encouragement of narcissism by the present socio-economic system came up.
As a backdrop, we were talking about the collective black swans of a looming energy crisis; the rising threat of destabilisation in China and other parts of the world because of food price inflation and an unsustainably high local stock market; the situation in Pakistan being more dangerous in some ways than Iran; and the rising belligerence of Russia via its secretive plutocracy. Closer to home we talked about the global credit crunch and its adverse impact on home prices and credit card led consumer spending in the US, UK and the many other Western countries where leverage is the basis of exorbitant and unsustainable consumption.
The evolving crises pose enormous downside risks, but what are the upside possibilities which might emerge out of these crises? It is in times of war or crises of survival that humans find themselves able to rise above personal preoccupations and egocentric thinking and to consider the ways in which humankind as a whole might rise above crises in common purpose and common effort. Some points that came out of the discussion are as follows:
1. The "Age of Narcissism" is slowly but surely coming to an end as trans-national deep crises cut the model of "me-first and me-last" ranging from those events we are yet to see in the global financial markets, socio-economic systems, lifestyle experiments to health and well being awakening.
2. The Metamorphosis of Narcissism, ie, Selfishness, towards the Golden Age of greater good and self-lessness is bound to prevail in the midst of a series of global and personal crises precipitated by nature and short term gain capitalism.
3. Evolution from an ego-centric self-gratification vision of the world towards collective-thinking and community betterment/survival shaped by global crises will increasingly become a necessity.
4. Elimination of the arrogant "I" and "short tem gain" model of globalisation and capitalism towards the humbler "we" and "long term sustainability" foundations for a "Wisdom based Global Economy", which has been the purpose and mission of ATCA, The Philanthropia and HQR all along, will become more manifest.
5. The Noosphere's (The Sphere of human thought) role is vast in helping to eliminate "manipulations, errors and omissions" by hierarchical authorities and to raise "collective consciousness" to reach the "Omega point" via the global internet, web and mobile technologies as well as inner spiritual progress. This will provoke all to understand "who am I and what is my purpose?" The French philosopher Teilhard de Chardin emphasises the way that geography and distance are eliminated as human minds coalesce to solve a problem or fight a common enemy eventually to reach the "Omega point." Teilhard de Chardin said, "The age of nations is past. The task before us now, if we would not perish, is to build the earth."

Dear DK,
Thank you, these are great conclusions and to me, they are true.
One thing I would like to add is that we need to remember that these changes are happening not in some entity out there, but in every one of us. It may be unconfortable to accept and openly share it, but the narcissism of the ego can only be accessed and transformed in every me, not out there somewhere. We don't need to take it personally, though, as we are sitting in the same inherited boat, so to speak. The view of the ego is nobody's fault but it is everyone's responsibility to let go of it.
Dear Aurora,
You are such a lotus-beauty!
Such a beauty
You are...
I wasnt gonna mention it, but something amazing happened yesterday, the sky seemed to open up, and spit out three birds! it was an incredible sight!
Think Ill try to do it again. You see I asked the these birds to come to me seconds before they did.
and no I havent see any pink elephants, YET!
My favorite flower is the Narcissis AND, The Island Rose and the Colorado Columbine and Star Gazer, lots and lots more too but that rounds up the top 4.
Love

Dear DK
Interesting post. It is also interesting to note that Teilhard de Chardin came up with the idea of the noosphere about 50 years before the internet was developed. And, some say it(the internet) is the material manisfestation of the noosphere.
Whether or not we are looking at the Omega point, the approaching technological singularity, or the mounting crisis points of the world, it becomes apparent that our reality is about to Shift. We have a choice, we can either slide down the path of self-destruction or we as human kind can unite in a more cooperative mode to bring forth a more harmonious and spiritual paradigm.
We as individuals have a responsibility not just to ourselves but to generations that follow us.
The final act of our old way of being has begun, yet we do not know how the story will end. The determining factors are in our hands. It is our birthright to decide and be positive contributors(or not) to the awakening Noosphere. We do, indeed, live in interesting times.
Love

Oh and I also wanted to say that perhaps the date
12-21-2012 is not THE END of the play as so many interpret it, but the point where we collectively transcend our old mode and raise the enlightenment quotient.
Dear DK,
Hereunder a few websites that are "building the earth":

http://www.findhorn.org/
http://www.torreao.com/site/home.html?LC=en
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article1782025.ece
etc. etc.
If you Google-search the words: 'Eco town', you receive 2.950.000 hits.
Soo much to be grateful for :)
Today i received a wonderful email: "God is laughing at us"; to me: the noosphere with unconditional love.
Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all,

Hello DK,
My previous comment to you, here on this Intentblog, was held for approval. Perhaps it had too much links to websites in it that are already "building our earth". If you for instance Google the words: Eco town, you will receive more than 2 and a half million hits :).
Same happens when you Google the word Peace.
So, despite all the "negative" news that is our daily service of the regular media, the world is changing for the better no matter what, even your own Gordon Brown in England is adding to those eco towns.
The big shift has already happened and to me 2012 is the year that the largest generation, born right after World War II, has reached its pensionable age and will be the first generation that "g(k)nows" how to act wisely and be much more responsible for their own health and not so dependent anymore from their children, for instance, nor from the general healthcare.
They will be the first generation that can actually be(come) self sufficient :)
And isn't that our purpose in life?
Hereunder one website I cannot resist to mention:

Nothing is in our hands. All is happening as per Divine Play made manifest through four basic forces led four basic interactions at global cultural cycle level, further made manifest through the interplay of Dark or Negative Energy and Light or Positive Energy.
The philosophies of Stoicism, Epicureanism and of Skepticism and Cynicism will come into vogue and hold sway as they held sway around the identical time on previous global cultural cycle which ended with Greek fall (For details read the last chapter "The Golden Period and Beyond" of my book Self-Designed Universe").
In a slight variation on the theme, the coming Age is going to be "The Age to Be" (As against the present, "The Age to Know and to Do"), with Live and Let Live or Freedom its motto, with individuals and nations making do with minimum of wants and maximum of self-reliance, minimum of interference in each others' lives and maximum of self-absorption, with each trying their utmost to fit their wants into the available resources rather than exploiting more of the same from the Earth.
Really, there is nothing to worry, the like has been going on forever in cycles at all levels right from the universe as a whole down to a grain of sand.

Dear DK
Interesting post. It is also i
A Golden Mean leading One to an eightfold path, 8, a number turned sideways that symbolizes infinity, as One bears a Cross that literally symbolizes that in order for us to gain life one must lose their life.
In individually unyielding service to our fellow man shall a universally collective freedom be gained.
As paradoxical an idea as inconsistency proving consistency: something to talk about as we wait for a room in Gilbert's Grand Hotel.
Something to do with evolution within entropy, some darkly matter(s) into which we cannot see, an explosion of singularity, has us too bedazzled to correctly see, that I am you and you are me - particles of matter within waves of energy - the same energy created billions of years ago!
1 and a lot of zeros constantly arguing cosmological, or is that waxing philosophical . . .
I share your hope and vision Dr. Matai!
Peace
