Following up on my last post about Buckminster Fuller’s tome Synergetics published 35 years ago I am continuing on to chapter 100.00 – Synergy.
“101.01 Synergy means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of their parts taken separately”
So I happened upon a 1st edition copy of "Synergetics" by Buckminster Fuller with E.J Applewhite, 1975, published by Macmillan Publishing. Bucky get's a lot of street cred here because his ideas were so far ahead of their time and crossed the lines of science, consciousness, math, engineering and other fields - sort of like the content here on Evolver.
I was used to seeing myself more as a helpless victim of a ruthless world, but some magical moment pushed me towards the insight: My attitude is my own creation. I mostly cannot control the universe surrounding me, but I apparently can affect my interpretation, and thus, my inner sense of meaning.
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
