I think with intuition. The basis of true thinking is intuition. Indeed, it is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition tells a man his purpose in life. One never goes wrong following his feelings. I don’t mean emotions, I mean feelings, for feelings and intuition are one.
~ Albert Einstein (b 1879)
 
If you want one year of prosperity, plant corn. If you want ten years of prosperity, plant trees. If you want one hundred years of prosperity, educate people.
~ Chinese proverb

Cosmology

One of the three philosophies in metaphysics is cosmology: The study of the origin and evolution of Universe, especially with such of its characteristics as space, time, causality, and choice.

When we enlarge upon the affection our friends have for us, this is very often not so much out of a sense of gratitude as from a desire to persuade people of our own great worth, that can deserve so much kindness.
~ François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (b 1613), nobleman, author of maxims and memoirs
 
After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on—have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear—what remains? Nature remains.
~ Walt Whitman (b 1819), American poet, essayist, journalist, humanist
 
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower (b 1890), 34th President USA; from national farewell address, January 1961
 
Under the Federal Reserve Act, panics are scientifically created. The present panic is the first scientifically created one, worked out as we figure a mathematical equation.
~ Charles Augustus Lindbergh (b 1902), American aviator, environmental activitist, USA Congressional Medal of Honor
 
C. Otto Scharmer qualifies people in peril of falling short in evolving global business communities as those who trained and function intensely in matters of money and finance.
Refer Dr. C. Otto Sharmer, MIT, Senior Lecturer, describes the theory and practice of sensing / actualizing emerging futures in contexts of personal, global, and institutional change.
 
Hierarchy is an organization with its face toward the CEO and its ass toward the customer.
~ Kjell Nordström, Jonas Ridderstråle, business authors

¹ The term global warming was grossly politicized in 1988 by the current USA administration’s appointed scientist; as such, politics made a mockery of the science it claims to support.
 
² The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin. As a result, the Bankers own the earth.

Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money and control credit, and with the flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again.

Take this great power away from the bankers and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this would be a better and happier world to live in.

But if you want to continue as slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them create money and control the nation’s credit.
~ Josiah Charles Stamp, 1st Baron Stamp (b 1880), British civil servant, industrialist, economist, statistician, a director of the Bank of England, chairman of the London Midland and Scottish Railway


Read myths. They teach you that you can turn inward, and you begin to get the message of the symbols. Read other people’s myths, not those of your own religion, because you tend to interpret your own religion in terms of facts … but if you read the other ones, you begin to get the message. Myth helps you to put your mind in touch with this experience of being alive. Myth tells you what the experience is.
~ Joseph Campbell (b 1904), American professor, writer, orator in comparative mythology and comparative religion
 
Zeitgeist: The general moral, intellectual, and cultural climate of an era; Zeit (time) + Geist (spirit); as, the Zeitgeist of the 1980s in USA included beliefs in the power of money, and the ways to spend it.

Our constant curiosity is key to watching what’s being created.
~ DM

Hello Everyone,

Staying Awake was originally to have been a long journal of feel good synchronous moments, so we’d feel included with clusters of people who actually stay awake to our intuitive being. After writing numerous ezines early on, I discovered it’s just as much fun to talk about, even gawk at, the circumstances that brought together the moment. Here’s a scenario I especially enjoy.

A few weeks ago, a friend and I decided to have lunch at a nearby hotel. We entered the restaurant, and began our saunter to smell and look at the usual foods displayed in cafeteria style. Meats and vegetables, desserts and beverages were feasted upon as we’d done a thousand times in other places.

After a few minutes of enjoying ourselves and our meals, we noticed a man sitting down at a table across the room. He forked in some food, pressed keys on his laptop, then up to his ear went his cell phone. I looked and looked again at his face, and knew I had seen him before.

At once, I had it. He could have passed for a twin brother of the messianic global warming lobbyist, Al Gore, except the man across the room wasn’t paunchy.

My friend and I thought nothing more about the Gore double as we left the hotel and drove home. I parked the car while my friend went to the mail box to collect the day’s delivery. A few minutes later in the kitchen, she laid an envelop in front of me, and pointed to the return address on the unsolicited piece. Printed in an amiable typeface and benign blue ink was the name ‘Al Gore.’

We guffawed mostly at the synchronicity! The politico memo regenerated a few common annoyances to which my friend and I shrugged our shoulders. We went on with the afternoon’s agenda after tossing the fund raising solicitation along with questionable environmental ethics it represented.

The Winds Do Blow

The winds of ethics, and lacks thereof, do blow on us from all directions. These are the times to actually stay awake and feel, not run away from, the brush of the ethical against the unethical.

Being mostly asleep to everything political prior to September 11, 2001, the geopolitical has become a fascinating perusal; a topic that’s useful when probing global warming doublespeak polished politicians have memorized for their public performances and private soirées.

Geopolitics analyzes geography, history, and social science with reference to spatial politics, patterns, and relationships of places and resources. Refer Wikipedia dot org.

Spatial politics refers physical seating arrangements displaying voting habits, distinguishing politicians’ ranks in governments, parliaments, or assemblies; spatial terms simplify and dramatize motivations and actions partnering political friends and foes, alike. Refer Wikipedia dot org.

Spatial politics clearly show the winds do blow from directions gusting from mouths of political brotherhoods and professional cartels, who obviously flip flop on issues depending on which friend or foe voices the mightiest alarm. Similarly, lumping Earth’s massive environmental nuances into one term global warming is a dramatic and fraudulent method manly alliances, lobbyists, fellowships, and the like, hustle fear into voters’ imaginations already trained to revere anxiety.

By political and religious stratagems, many governments and commercial media conceal millennia of astronomical and scientific climate inquiry—similar concealments apparent in vaticanic medieval history.

Consequently, too many humans’ imaginations are fixed with simplified science that can as easily be read in comic books and viewed in convenient mockumentaries. Magnates’ maximized bottom lines, fastidiously calculated, distinctly display why the winds do blow Earthlings’ considerations and convictions this way and that through generations.

To Let Us Know

The Sun is too frequently overlooked, so it’s seen in Staying Awake’s banner to keep us reminded. Global warming, climate change, global climate change, the warming globe, or whatever the term du jour, are distractions from putting studies of the Sun into the public’s notice. ¹

But, reputable scientists and writers, perhaps not tethered to corporate bottom lines, are publishing books and reports to let us know the Sun is analyzed for probable impacts on and in Earth.

Challenge to Scientific Consensus on Global Warming: Analysis Finds Hundreds of Scientists Have Published Evidence Countering Man-Made Global Warming Fears. Hudson Institute, September 12, 2007.

European Space Agency scientists have proved sounds generated deep inside the Sun cause the Earth to shake and vibrate. United Press International, August 20, 2007.

The Sun connects with all the planets via the solar wind, a flow of electrically charged particles that constantly eject from the Sun to create space weather. European Space Agency News, February 19, 2007.

To let us know by way of reminder, the Sun is presently in its cycle #24 as of September, 2006, and, as NASA reports, apexes in 2011 or 2012. The Sun is forecasted to move into its solar maximum cycle in late 2007, and the cycle could be as much as fifty percent stronger than its most recent maximum. During the maximum period, unexpected catastrophes to Earth’s landscapes could occur from solar storms, putting in peril infrastructures and lives of our global sisters and brothers for whom we must stay awake.

If We Be Wise

There’s so much for which to be awake and wise, we might be all the wiser by not staying awake and deceiving ourselves about ethics. Since the year 2000, global governments’ administrations have helped us remember our rulers’ religious and debtor systems very likely developed from intergenerational practices of ancient leaderships in China, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Sumeria.

If we be wise, we global sisters and brothers would notice we’re not experiencing anything new in unethical matters. We just forgot to note rulers’ accomplishments in our ancestors’ lives as they lived through the villainous vaticanic medieval age; through the early industrial aged egregious financial accounting houses; then into the multi-headed beast of central banks in the commercialized 20th century.

Do you see a thread in cosmology here? From the 20th into the 21st century, we have enough information to observe the peaceful advantages of art, music, philosophy, and leisure for some chosen nations, while quick disruptive gusts of change for other nations. Governments’ figureheads, mostly men threatened within inches of their lives by other men, have for millennia, and by design, quickened the pace of changes to such an extent that only pockets of peace existed for citizenries and their governances in any given generation.

Through religious governments on every continent, escalated disruptive changes generated by ‘my God is better than yours’ serve the central bankers’ colossal profits and loans, and manifest purpose for religious radicals, war, and debt. If we be wise, we’d note that until they’re no longer purposeful, monotheisms, keeping people divided with their allusions, symbols, hymns, metaphors, and shepherds for sheeple, represent intolerant fundamentalists’ traps—until they fold in on themselves like castles built in sand. ²

It’s Time to Rise

At this point in writing this newsletter, I thought it’s time to rise and take a break. I went out for a sandwich and beverage. On the way back to my desk, it dawned on me that you and I, our global sisters and brothers, all are a species. In our bizziness with family and friends and enterprises, we mostly forget we’re living on a planet.

WE are a SPECIES, living on a PLANET, and the Sun nurtures nature for our nourishment. I think it’s time to rise to educate ourselves about the emergence of Earthlings’ feminine energies intuiting their way to nurture a balanced consciousness. Just maybe our species can move into a numinous cosmology not thwarted by masculine rulers refusing more information, knowledge, and intuitiveness than can be magistrated; a cosmology again filled with serendipity after an epoch of not less than five thousand years of malevolent imaginations.

With much evidence, it’s easy to presume early authentic myths tell of humans adoring the Sun as the one phenomenal life force for themselves, their vegetation and animals. Sometime in early human literacy, religious fables were spoken and written by skewing the natural life myths—of the Sun—into a masculine deity. One allegory served as pious soil out of which flourished myriad plagiarized deceptions, separating our species from the natural world, for millenniums of psychical and social slavery by theistic frauds; political doctrines; pretense for crusades; preemptive wars; false flag operations; fear guided tax collections; monopolies of printed money; quick changes in money supply; exorbitant credit and loan rates; fiat money; colossal international debt... travesties based not entirely for their physical realities, but for function in a vast agenda of psychical fury. Today isn’t different, because we have still another drama by design: environmentalism featuring fear-fraught performances by ingratiating moralistic politicos.

Around the planet, women see women rising to educate each other in gender differences, governmental matters, children’s education, and health care; talking, managing, documenting, administering; thwarting wars before they begin, stopping wars once they’ve begun, while nurturing families and energy conservations, too!

When you’ve twenty minutes or so, watch the TED dot com video presentation of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the first female Finance Minister in Nigeria. She invites philanthropists to rise to the occasion by actually sitting down, listening, and talking with local Africans the donators want to financially help—a novel idea! Only by throngs of women helping each other, our magnificent species has hope.

The old appeals to racial, sexual, religious chauvinism, to rabid nationalist fervor, are beginning not to work. The new consciousness is developing, which sees the Earth as a single organism and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed.
