HUMANS ARE like giant antennas endlessly exchanging information with everything around them. That information effects the system in which it is broadcast.
SO, IF YOU'RE AN ANTENNA, who you are and how you are IS the information you're broadcasting. That information effects the world. The same is true for communities, corporations, governments and cultures - how they are, broadcasts a signal or a cascade of signals which effect and influence the world.
EVERY PERSON takes a stand on what they broadcast - whether they're aware of it or not. Some people put out signals that are useful and beneficial to the system at large. Some people put out signals that are useful to themselves while being detrimental to the system.
AS A SPECIES we're becoming more aware of how intimately we are connected with the system.
EVERY YEAR previous attitudes that allowed companies and individuals to act in ways that harmed the system are replaced with more sustainable and systemically beneficial attitudes and actions - achieving similar individual goals without sacrificing the greater good which ultimately (if you can think out that far) has a negative effect on the individual.
PEOPLE WHO do not recognize this shift in global priorities either are simply unable to be present to the massive signals that evidence this emergent pattern OR they lack the model or conceptual frame necessary to make sense or meaning of these new signals.
THE GREATER a person's awareness of systemic considerations and the greater their ability to pay attention to the world at large - to keep their attention ready and engaged outward into the world - the more aware they are of who they are and what will benefit them in a way that also benefits the system as a whole.
PEOPLE EVOLVED in this particular way are able to gain agreement from others and engage movement in the direction they themselves are already going - thereby adding synergy to their own efforts and creating greater synergy for the system which their actions are already benefiting.
THIS ABILITY, which has been mostly latent in our species for millennia, is now awakening in necessary response to a cultural ecology which demands it. In response to the new ecology our behaviors and our brains begin to change.
THE ACTIVATION and activity of previously dormant neural patterns and their correlating behaviors are markers of the evolution occurring. They are part of a species-wide transformation.
NEW NEURAL PATTERNS beget new behaviors, new interests, and new areas of attention. This creates market shifts influencing both the types of products that are put out and the way those products (and services) are marketed. The new products, new services and new marketing designed to appeal to the early adapters of this evolutionary mindset, create widespread global signals which reinforce and further stimulate the evolution already occurring.
BY DEFINITION, these new patterns are positive and beneficial to the system, emerging in response to limitations of the system's previous patterns.
PART OF THE EMERGENT MESSAGE of this current evolutionary trend is an increase in self awareness both in personal functionality and in your responsibility as a co-creator of your environment.
THESE ABILITIES BRING with them incredible rewards; the emergent brain functions allow more direct, clean and robust sensate experience which leads directly to greater ability to effect change in accordance with your intentions.
UM, AWESOME. A world in which people realize that they're responsible for themselves and the effects they have on the world around them? A world in which people are living primarily in the sensory world of right here and now as opposed to inside of unabating neural inhibitions and habits they've developed over a lifetime of bad programming - I'M DOWN.
IN MANY FIRST WORLD NATIONS we've already developed the key skills to evolve beyond the current limitations of the system. Now it's just time to excise the crumby programs being entrained into our children, and used by those still oblivious to the system, while simultaneously implementing the changes already available to us.
SO, HOW DO WE DO THIS? How do we recognize and implement the new beneficial strategies and how do we promote their appeal?
FIRST OF ALL, we need to let people know how attractive and rewarding this new kind of intelligence is so they become more readily receptive to it in their own lives.
THE TRUTH IS, knowing how to operate yourself is deeply pleasurable. And, the more you experience the pleasure of just being yourself and letting go of everything else that isn't you... the more you want to know how to operate yourself even better. Which brings us right back to the pleasure again only one ring of the spiral higher. As this happens for one person, they introduce the new memes of self-operation and personal well-being to others with whom they communicate. As they do this, the memes spread.
YOU SEE, EVOLUTION OCCURS in the new patterns and new behaviors rippling through the collective consciousness we call culture. The more they ripple, the more they stimulate and activate people's ability to consider them as viable and in fact more successful scenarios. And they spread. At some point the system reaches a level of saturation and the evolutionary patterns become the new status quo. They have now become successfully appealing to the point that they're culturally habitual.
WITHIN THIS NEW ECOLOGY, new problems arise for which the old (previously evolutionary) ways of thinking are just not enough and the whole thing begins again. Each time this type of Kuhnian evolution/revolution in thinking occurs, our neural structures change to contain and operate the new patterns of consciousness. In turn our products and actions change. The system itself becomes remarkably different than what once it was.
OUR OWN NEURAL PLASTICITY combined with the drive to adapt and survive, makes us perfect mediums for this type of endless evolution. The key to mastering this in ourselves is to learn how to operate the evolutionary behaviors for ourselves and in relation to the rest of the world.
I REFER TO THIS in terms of broadcasting. The antenna of you is either receiving and transmitting the signals of evolution (the new brain structures and correlating behavioral patterns) or it's not.
THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. Evidence of evolution shows up in our personal behavior, in the companies we build, the families we raise, the relationships we cultivate and the integrity we maintain. Our ability to surf the new patterns enables our ability to succeed in every new situation that arises. We learn to be at our best no matter what's happening, and to sort for possibility in the world around us. As we do this, we are modeling it for those around us.
I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME we developed a network of people and signals grouped together to strengthen and broadcast the signals that support a world in which this is possible for every person that wants it. Not because they have to believe in anything, just because they live in a culture that supports them in choosing futures that work.
FOR ME, the way to do this is to organize systemic intentions that groups of people can choose to adopt or not. For example, a global vision. A global vision helps those of us interested in the systemic considerations to work together in realizing those goals. It creates synergy. It also gives us criteria that we can integrate into our day to day thinking and decision making so that we endelssly keep in mind the scope of our decisions and their rippling effects in the world.
IN TERMS OF MY OWN personal broadcasting, i'm committed to supporting the current evolution in two very specific ways:
1. Supporting people in being at their best and knowing how they operate themselves. And...
2. Promoting a bias towards broad scope systemic integrity through a global vision.
MY INTENTION IS to be involved in creating futures that work. This is how i stand in relation to the world and those around me.
