The Fight Against Corporate Personhood
John X

Throughout the U.S. people are organizing against “corporate personhood,” a court-created doctrine that gives corporations basic human rights at the expense of flesh and blood humans.

Dear Woman (and Man)
John X

The "Dear Woman" video is a one-sided communication, channeling a collective spirit of man speaking to woman.  While it may seem presumptuous, and the concept might be confusing, I've been surprised by the backlash, which seems to reflect how major a transition we are facing.

The Fathers Circle

If Men are in crisis, what does that mean for Fathers? It means today’s Fathers are working harder than ever to meet their family’s needs and to hopefully equip their kids with the skills and perspectives necessary in the coming era.

Open Question for Daniel Pinchbeck

Daniel,
I left a comment on your Facebook wall, but as you've said, that platform is a poor one for dialogue.

Here's my question:
What's your current perspective on the Calendar issue? Do you think any model has been introduced that is an appropriate system of time/cycle perception (reconciling solar and lunar cycles) for human use in the next age?

Hello Noosphere

Even the greatest guys are humbled by love
And I should know cause I’m a great guy
Who’s miles away from what his heart is capable of

Is there a way to be sure that you're doing enough?

Who cares about the flesh of Grandpa Don Juan?
When every day somebody’s learning to sing his shamans song

I have heard word of a singularity
A time when I'll no longer be

Architecting the Great Web

The nation-state is too big. It’s a behemoth. Even our large cities have ballooned to a size many times too big for a healthy, dynamic community at a human scale. These social monsters are just that: monstrosities. What’s more, they’re dinosaurs.

Diversity In Unity

According to Chris Bache's description of Robert Monroe's "interlife rings," the bardo region between life and death is a place where our souls can choose to associate only with others like ourselves, or with others at a similar level of development.

"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
