Quote of the Day: 4/30/13 – Don Beck
"It's not that we need to form new organizations. It's simply that we have to awaken to new ways of thinking. I believe it makes no sense to spend a lot of time attacking the current realities. It is time to create the new models that have in them the complexity that makes the older systems obsolete. And to the extent that we can do that, and do that quickly, I think we can provide what will be necessary for a major breakthrough for the future." … [Read more...]
The Beauty of Not Knowing
Video from KarmaTube In the short video above, we hear from the brilliant sage/physicist Richard Feynman on the beauty of uncertainty and not knowing. Can we live without knowing answers, and with having more questions than answers? We want to know, want to know what's next. But in actuality, most of life is unknowable and unpredictable.

Or both. Dec. 14, 2012, the week before, seemed like the end of the world. That was the day of the horrific and unspeakable violence in Newtown, Connecticut.

What’s Consciousness Got to Do With It? Everything
A revolution in consciousness, in thinking capabilities, is what is vital to the future. The spiritual teacher Sadhguru says it so eloquently and simply in the short video above. It's well worth the watch. We as a species are becoming more technologically adept, more globally connected, more socially and culturally aware, and more complex beings, yet at the same time our humanity and wisdom is not keeping pace. This is the point of a Quantum … [Read more...]

“Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment.
