Life as Art: The Legacy of Lynn Margulis In the wake of Margulis's work, it is clear that relentless competition is not the sole theme of life. Cooperation and synergistic networking are a major feature of life on Earth, a real kind of naturally selected wisdom that makes multicellular life possible. We have to acknowledge symbiosis as a key operating principle of life on Earth and to install that operating principle within our culture.
Brains in a VatA new scientific development conjures up sci-fi images of Rutger Hauer’s android in Blade Runner – lab-cultured eyes, brain parts, and glands.

About Me
- Bio
From way-out down to my bones, I am a totally free, uninhibited, wild and happy person with a golden heart. Being a natural born problem solver, diplomat, and excited innovator, I see the opposites in all things, then I swish about to converge and evolve through them. I strive to find the path of acceptance and growth, rather than resistance and death. When I'm at my best, my personal sphere becomes all inclusive.

As Above, So Below: The Worldview of Lynn MargulisBiologist and geoscientist Lynn Margulis composed a grand and powerful view of the living and the non-living through her uncanny ability to lean forward and see the smallest inhabitants of the Earth and then to leap back at the speed of thought to conceptualize the entire planet. This seeing from soil to space marked a unique scientific endeavor.

I hope to one day finish graduate school with an N.D. degree (naturopathic doctor). Curing terminal illnesses with the freedom for all future medical providers to prescribe natural remedies as treatments is my goal. For now, I'll contribute the knowledge I've gained thus far on my journey.

About Me
- Bio
For the last several years, after having a spiritual awakening of my own, I have with open eyes noticed the decay of the heirharchy society we live in. I have also in the past few years found my self moving away from the collective concience of this main stream materilistic society. I find it distressing how we depend on this current "system" to literally live. If it suddenenly failed, many would perish because they dont have the skills or knowledge to live without it. I would prefer not to be one of those if possible.
I am desperatly trying to educate myself on how to "cut the cord" as it seems. I am very interested in Eco-housing and permacultures. This seems like the way it should be. But I am unsure how I would even go about this concept or how to join a community. I worry that unless one has subsequent cash, that this may not be a reality.
- Skills and talents
- I have always had an affinity for plants, animals, and nautre in general. I try to surround myself with nature in every possible way. I have lived on farms, worked in landscaping, kennels, vet clinics. A jungle of houseplants in my home is how I prefer it.
- Interests
- art, biology, Botany, Horticulture, Metaphysics, spirituality, Zoology
- What I'm Reading
- A Biogrogphy on Edgar Cayce, a sci-fi sieres novel, and a paperback called "communion". (Yeah I read alot, TV is mind numbing lately)

Self As City, City As SelfThis year at Burning Man's Entheon Village, I gave a talk on how evolutionary biology, developmental psychology, philosophy, architecture, and art challenge our constructed categories of "individual" and "collective," pointing us toward a new understanding of the self as a multitude and our communities as living, sentient beings.

I try to write everyday. I love to sing. I love to travel to new place and have new experiences. I love to meet new people and discuss topics ranging from spirituality to favorite T.V. shows (I'm unfortunately addicted to reality T.V.). I'd like to know more about politics because I'm not very educated in that topic. I love to laugh! Happiness is the fuel of my life.
I'm a student with a major in Animal Biology and a minor in Psychology. I'm planning on taking a semester off to try and figure out what I REALLY want to do in my life.
I'd like to talk to people willing to share new things!
