About Me:
In the late 1960's I was the Road Manager for a band called ”Spirit”.
Some of you 'more mature' folks might remember the songs “Mechanical World”, “Fresh Garbage”, “Natures Way”, “I Got a Line on You” or “1984”…all released in the late 60's. We used to discuss with disgust…'the military industrial complex”.
Then I became one…
For the last 35 years I have worked in Aerospace/Defense as an Electrical Design & Systems Engineer. Obviously I'm ok with paradox.
(But, not always pleased…Ha Ha)
A little note of interest,…'The Bodhi Tree' bookstore in Los Angeles was started by a couple of 'Aerospace Engineers'…one of my favorite haunts in the area.
I have been a practitioner of Transcendental Meditation since 1968 & I'm an ongoing supporter of the Integral flowering in general & the Integral Institute in particular. It is a very exciting time to be alive.
I am becoming more fully involved in the evolutionary enterprise of Human's on Earth. Special gratitude here for the late R. Buckminster Fuller, 'Bucky' to most folks, the planets' friendly genius' and one of our earlier 'Integral Thinkers'.
“The Universe is a system that creeps up upon itself and says, 'Boo!' and then laughs at itseft for jumping.” Alan Watts in Out of Your Mind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First he conceived from the depth of his being a something, neither mind nor matter, but rich in potentiality… It was a medium in which the one and the many demanded to be most subtly dependent upon one another; in which all parts and all characters must pervade and be pervaded by all other parts and all other characters; in which each thing must seemingly be but an influence in all other things; and yet the whole must be no other than the sum of all of its parts, and each part an all-pervading determination of the whole. It was a cosmical substance in which any individual spirit must be, mysteriously, at once an absolute self and a mere figment of the whole.
