This Mother ultimately thinks the universe into existence. This reflects the notion expressed by many in the quantum physics field that the universe appears more like a thought than a Descartian machine. Thus in Keres Pueblo myth this same Entity is named "Thinking Woman," who was said to form the universe by singing. "So humming and singing She shaped them." She sang the "Chi" or the "Om" of "I-Am." Only prejudice, arrogance, and greed divide them; Love and Life unify them. (When will we destroy the Tower of Babel? When will we realize that all languages, all scriptures, emerge from one longing of the finite Human to fully express the infinite Divine from which we emerge, by which we are sustained, and to which we return?)
What is a thought if not vibrating energy in our minds that we interpret in words, pictures and sound? This is why in European languages we refer to the matter of our thoughts as concepts, referring to our ability to conceive. What is without is within us. The Word conceived of the Depths isn't a literal word. It simply is vibration. Vibration creates form as reflected in this Youtube video: . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at50acNlke8.
Thus you can see the world form in Genesis 1 as each spoken Word emanates from the Unmanifest. The "And God says" should not be taken literally, but as metaphors for Sound, or Vibrations that form fomless matter. Thus the Keres Pueblo Thinking Woman hummed and sang while forming the universe. This mirroring of the various creation myths is also an example of what neurologist Karl Pribram refers to as holographic. Thus the scientific and the religious merge, like male and female, into one species.
Our concepts are living, evolving beings, not canned goods with a long shelflife, to be sold at schools affordable only to the already well-to-do and well-indoctrinated or passed in secret to an elite Illuminati. Our "graduates" should be free to express their creativity, not so indebted to the Banksters that they must labor painfully for the merciless masters that enslaved them in the first place.
Could it be that there is a place where all religions are one as William Blake once stated? Are there centers of learning where these kinds of insights can happen? I think so. In line with this thought, one of David Peat's projects is The Pari Center for New Learning. This center is located in the village of Pari, some 25km south of Siena. In 2011, this center became a partner in a European Union project on Sustainable Cities of the Future. Pari's role has also been to explore the sustainability of rural areas in the face of demands made by cities and, in particular, the health and survival of small farming and local produce. Thus it appears his work is related to the local food movements and methods of raising food such as permaculture. At Pari, c oncepts are open-pollinated, diversified, and freely exchanged within the eco-systems that evolved them, not monocropped and patented for profit.
It is interesting that deep philosophical ideas, such as those found in quantum physics, with abstract and oftentimes foreign ideas like the Unmanifest Implicate Order, link hands with down-to-Earth movements such as permaculture and sustainable agriculture. They also appear to give more credence to ancient ways of living on this planet. Perhaps what appears abstract is closer to concrete Reality whereas what we have abstracted in our rational minds is actually more concrete?
Why is this? How is it that the Kogis, with their deeply mystical and transcendent vision of Aluna, are very much Earth-based? Indeed, when they saw what the Spaniards were doing to the land in South America, a subsection of them went hiding into the mountains and just recently came out to talk to the "Younger Brother" (the Europeans and civilized world) about the mess we are making?
It is the same with David's work. While abstract in many ways, as per his Synchronicity, his is a very Earth-based approach. Thus, David's teachings include a need for Gentle Action. As stated on his website:
But what may work well for machines is not always so successful when it comes to individuals and society. For we have come to see our modern world in terms of a series of problems - cancer, environmental degradation, drugs, urban crime, inflation and the like. In turn, each problem demands a solution - war on drugs, medical shots and magic bullets, etc.
But the lessons of chaos theory, to take one example, suggest that in many situations analysis has its limits, as do prediction and control. Seeing the word in terms of "problems" means that we are always externalizing things, pushing them away from us and believing that we - the analyst and planner - are able to rise above the situations in which we are immersed. And each time we perceive what we take to be a problem we immediately react by looking for a solution, which is again applied externally, objectively at, or to, the problem. The result is the exertion of a degree of violence leading to what David Bohm referred to as "fragmentation". Indeed, the solutions we impose on the world around us often have unforeseen results that sometimes create even more serious situations than the problem we set out to "solve."
It is for this reason Peat has been suggesting an alternative approach, or way of thinking and seeing in his book, Gentle Action: Bringing Creative Change to a Turbulent World. Gentle Action begins from the realization that we are all inexorably a part of the one world, actors with responsibilities, values and obligations. Since an objective "problem" no longer lies outside us, in some external and objective domain, what is now required is an action that arises out of the whole of t he situation and is not fragmented or separated from it.
In many ways, David's work is very much akin to the Chinese Taoist idea of Wui We. Wu Wei entails action that does not involve struggle or excessive effort. Thus, in martial arts, one goes "with" the movements of his opponent more so than going "against." Signifying this going with, wu means "without" and Wei means "effort". Wu Wei is "without effort" and entails being Natural. Tao is called "The Way" not because it is something one should believe in or follow. "The Way" is the Way because it is the Process of the Cosmos. Thus it is "THE WAY." To go with "The Way" is to go with the "whole of the situation." If you believe in The Way, then you are following the Way. If you do not believe in The Way, then you still follow The Way. The black side of the Tao symbol does not negate the white. They are of the same whole and mirror one another. Thus your thinking you are in control is an illusion. The Way is the Way you go and not the way you think you should go....though your thoughts are born of the Creativity of the Way!
David Peat's "Wu Wei" has resulted in a highly diversified genius whose holographic views are reflected in the wide diversity of subjects that he tackles in his works, including his amazingly diverse writings, the following list of which appears at http://www.quickiwiki.com/en/David_Peat :
