It so happens that outside of the time I spend trying to help solve the current global financial crisis, I spend a great deal of my time searching for a certain amount of “enlightenment.” As it so happens, recently (in the past day or two) I think I crossed a hurdle. And in so doing, it made me curious to look up the definitions of a few “words” that I have been giving consideration. Now I would like to share with you my findings:
Globalnomics is a fully integrated philosophical and scientific discipline that is based upon global rather than nationalistic perspectives. Whereas, the foundation of Globalnomics is based upon a clearly defined, commonly accepted, core set of world principals, the building blocks that shape the discipline come from the latest concepts and theories from the science of economics.
Drawing conceptually from Franklin Merrell-Wolff’s Experience and Philosophy and somewhat from Wilber’s wave theory of consciousness, I have developed my own simplified view and structure for the different levels of consciousness that we as human beings experience. My simplified structure consists of the following Five Dimensions: Read the rest of this entry »
During the consideration that resulted in the formulation of my Pyramid of Virtues, I reviewed the thoughts and ideas of several philosophers and spiritual leaders before me. As part of that process I came across several different definitions (or explanations) offered for the various items that form my Pyramid. Now, I humbly submit my own definition (or explanation) for the virtues of my Pyramid, beginning with Love and ending appropriately with Poverty of Spirit. Read the rest of this entry »
Since posting my most recent blog, Exponential Reality, I have been making decisions as to how to proceed forward with this portion of my website. As part of that decision process, I have been going through a mixed conglomeration of notes regarding ideas for consideration for future writings (i.e., aphorisms, poems, short stories, novel scenes, etc.). Some of the looser (less detailed) of those notes I compiled into something that I have favorably come to call–Loose Ends. The first set of my Loose Ends follow below: Read the rest of this entry »
The following is an 18-line poem or sutra that I have called Exponential Reality. If one follows the argument that I am professing throughout this website then the inevitable outcome leads to Exponential Reality and Exponential Goodness.
Just to make this poem a little more interesting, I have added my own belief of what it must mean to be Enlightened. It kind of makes me laugh. Read the rest of this entry »
This is a very short 4-line poem or sutra which I have come to call The Primal Force. Gravity has played an important role in my life, and so this is my short little tribute to it and to Love. I find it interesting how a Physical Force such as Gravity has similar traits as the Metaphysical Force of Love. I think it could make one curious. Read the rest of this entry »
The following is a 27-line poem or sutra that I have called Before You Give ForGive. The purpose for this piece is to show how Truth works, and how it works regardless of what level you are thinking upon. Read the rest of this entry »
There was a period in my life that I was inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau And although I know I risk being criticized for unoriginality, I would like to once again look back at some of the words Thoreau used that especially inspired me. Those words and my own ending comment (after my own Walden experience) follow: Read the rest of this entry »
Upon further review and consideration of early philosophical thought, including that of Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, etc., I have found it necessary to add and make a few necessary corrections to the first and second layers of my original Pyramid of Virtues. And although I hope my learning continues, I am currently under the belief that with these changes, my pyramid is forever complete. The changes and the rationale for my changes are as follows: Read the rest of this entry »
