Title: grow d' livin tree! What is it that you would like to talk about? Well, let's start with values ... such as joy, compassion, friendship, honesty, vitality when i hear these words i sense they tell part of the story ... about life but not all of it writing means painting a picture with words - describing scenes, thoughts, feelings, people we live in a world full of relationships, activities and change - complex detailed descriptions will paint something elaborately perhaps but generalizations and musings about it all, paints it all-at-once, in a way when we discuss something then generalize about it then show a connection and describe our reaction we play god to the creation of our imaginary world and co-create the world with others - thats because what we do when we talk like that; when we relate a specific item of interest and a generalization about an item, then show a connection and express a reaction to that relationship; what we do is mimic the activity of our mind - we imitate on a larger scale and in a fashion that can be understood via words, that which happens in our minds constantly with every perception and reaction. For example, the advertisement on the table describes a printing service, the prices are competitive with other printing services therefore i will consider this advertisement when i choose a print service. That describes what happened in a glance and far besides the thoughts of inclusion in this story board i had a dream a couple of nights ago which showed myself in a questioning mind (let me explain that) i was with another soul and asked her/him, do you believe the human specie is evolving or has it evolved in a way we could recognize? i remember the answer .. we look at our thoughts with more awareness. we perceive levels of process all the way to fruition. also we think different thoughts than say if our thoughts were not reviewed and escorted to fruition i remember asking myself when awakening if i could foresee the next big step in our evolution - here is what i was musing with: the internet is a fabric of cooperation - we share information, yes but activity also - we co-publish and organize activity via parallel one to one communication and group communication too. we also give each other the tools we have discovered - so easily for example - this might sound simple but actually it is more complex than just email Take yahoo for an example of internet use yahoo! has given me a daily calendar to organize my activities, also news; local, business, global, professional topical news yahoo! also gives me up to date financial investment information on which i do react yahoo! offers me email facility and file storage - picture galleries, web page services for free yahoo! uses these services to attract customers to their media platform, from that platform advertisements can redirect potential customers to their business doors which are on the web too yahoo! allows me to search the web and find whatever it is that i'm looking for at anytime yahoo! allows me to check the movie and entertainment venues for their schedules Now that's yahoo! for you while there are other internet activities which are by the way pretty much all catalogued at the yahoo! website other services at yahoo that i haven't used are the web chats, clubs, auctions and notice boards internet merchant facilities allow me to shop online & compare competitive pricing web presentations make institutions more readily available to those not usually in contact with them internet email, i have mentioned already but to clarify we need to understand its real power. email can be written to another, to a group of people and with intention email can be sent to an ecosystem of living and evolving communications now internet has brought both communication and the intentions and activities that lead to and from communication to a pace and ease that has never in the history of humanity been experienced i recall a time when people would gather in a hall or square to talk or listen to debate on an issue that gave enough importance to their meeting in their market place was peer to peer sales between sellers not just the sales to consumers and the market place became the default place for any issue or activity while we did our business we made shop and made house with much private preparation and with much support from our host family or employer shop keeper while today a business is created when we copy each other or innovate with a business idea and borrow capital to make it happen then sell it compare all those that worked for a decade or two to master an others trade and gain the responsibility to replace the master trader. back to the internet i foresee further change happening in the way we use the internet to communicate and organize i foresee mass communication via collaboration & meaningful contributions to massive projects i foresee communication and organization of tasks by the group themselves that until now we have payed others to do for us displacing us as a group this subject needs thought as it provokes me look for the means to cooperate on a larger scale and via a working structure of a sophistication that would obviate now old hat representatives such as local council, committee, political and practical debaters, administrations and research the collaborative reasoning process and up to the minute accounting and analysis will find new footing in the climb out of the evolutionary sea the social, industrious, innovative new compound we can no longer call the citizen or committee no longer is the citizen committee the land owners no longer a labourer or a woman with equal rights a new compound will emerge with new elements we see not a new man evolving but a huemanbein but look even new hardware and software, with a brand new intellectual property, all those will only be elements that are worthless in and of themselves without their soul life force its the new compound itself with properties that do not compare to its inanimate lifeless materials the new citizen will be a new compound that will be of a sentinel substance that lives in our activities and in our values and in our hopes as well it already has a body that resembles a nervous system with gigantic feelers floating in the sky and shooting light and sound worldwide while moderating heartbeats and feeding water system flow, energy and crop control - what is it? is the new entity or compound self conscious? will it communicate to other species like our own? do we feel its presence as it absorbs our lives? when we no longer elect a president or governor to do a job we couldn't manage to do ourselves when we do manage to represent our needs on an organized smorgas board of consumption choices when we recognize the power of our own making when we collaborate together with others on decision making for issues we never had control when the direction of change becomes prime time then we will herald the birth pangs of the messiah then we will recognize the power of the word then we will tug on the coat tails of the supreme yeah each twinkle in my eye will twinkle in d' sky and love ya make with me will grow d' livin tree! 11th of November, 2000
