Time in my view is the continuity of memory using the ego as an internal reference point. When we break the barrier of ego, the self-image, we break the barrier of time.
So time is the separation that occurs when there is the differentiation of our consiousness into observer, process of observation and that which is observed. And then how we measure our observations through the creation of an artificial observer gives us the experience of time.
In fact, there is no time—there is only eternity. The measurement of eternity is symbolized as the measurement of time. And, of course, how we metabolize our experience of time, is the way our bodies undergo entropy.
So if we are running out of time, we literally run out of time biologically. People who say “I’m running out of time”, they have speeded up biological clocks. Faster heart rates [inaudible]. And they drop dead of premature heart attacks. They run out of time.
If you are in love time stops. The intoxication of love allows you to experience unity consciousness and timelessness. If you are bored, time drags. And entropy is the metabolism of time.
I have a lot more to say about the nature of time, but I’m running out of time. So, see you next time, or let me know what you think.

Transcript of Howard Rheingold’s TED-2005 talk about the coming world of collaboration, participatory media and collective action—and how Wikipedia is really an outgrowth of our natural human instinct to work as a group. As he points out, humans have been banding together to work collectively since our days of hunting mastodons.
Prachtig interview met [http://aardnoot.nl/Amit_Gosmwami Amit Goswami] over [http://www.wie.org/j11/goswami.asp Scientific Proof of the Existence of God]. Voor mij is de ”’essentie”’ nog steeds:
:Consciousness matters™—and that’s all that matters
En dat kan je dus ”’heel letterlijk”’ nemen. Zelfs het woord ”heel” uit de vorige zin krijgt daardoor voor mij meer waarde.
Steal This Film [part one] is a spectacular documentary on Sweden’s piracy movement — The Pirate Bay BitTorrent site, The Pirate Bureau think-tank and The Pirate Party, a political party. Steal This Film ingeniously combines Hollywood footage, scare-interviews with Hollywood execs, Hollywood anti-piracy PSAs and footage of interviews with Swedish pirates, politicians and people on the street.

Op de Wiki van de [http://www.p2pfoundation.net/Money_Fix Peer-to-Peer Foundation] kwam ik interessante films tegen over zaken zoals geld en gemeenschappen met een locale munteenheid.

Seems like Richard Dawkins is digging his own grave in being so closed and arrested regarding opinions in conflict with his own. [http://www.intentblog.com/archives/2008/01/i_know_im_right.html Check out Deepak Chopra’s posting on I Know I’m Right, So Why Be Fair?] where Dawkins acts like a grumpy old man during his encounter with Rupert Sheldrake. Just like in Chopra’s [[The Science Delusion?]].
Sheldrake and Chopra have my votes. And I sure hope Dawkins will continue his current quest. The more energy he puts into it, the faster we will evolve our current ways of thinking. We need guys like Dawkins. He fuels the research on the ever so important area if spirituality, religion, and morphogenesis.

Got in touch with John, and he said: “Add the following to your .htaccess file:

Shift in action
Het [http://www.noetic.org/ Institute of Noetic Sciences] heeft een prachtige website met vele nieuwe inzichten en baanbrekend werk klaargezet op [http://www.shiftinaction.com/ Shift in Action].
Tot eind 2007 staan daar vele artikelen, videos en podcasts om niet beschikbaar. Eat your heart out.
Met een paar verhelderende en prettig verstorende video’s van Deepak Chopra.

Consciousness matters. Thoughts become things™. Consiousness is ”’the”’ phenomenon. Everything else is epiphenomenon.
Some notes from Deepak Chopra’s talk on consciousness:
*Another word for God: field of awareness which is “a-causal, non-local, quantum-mechanical interrelatedness” that operates with simultaneity.
*”’Chronobiology”’ studies the biological rythms (Earth, Moon, Sun, seasons…) that play the ”’symphony of your life”’ with exquisite correlation.
*You mirror the intelligence of the cosmos.
*”’Reductionism is dead”’. We are at its funeral at the moment.
Wat hebben ”’Geronimo”’, ”’Skype”’, ”’Wikipedia”’, ”’Open Coffee”’, ”’Al Qaida”’ en ”’Youtube”’ met elkaar gemeen? Het zijn allemaal ”’gedecentraliseerde netwerken”’. Rod Beckstrom en Ori Brafman gebruiken deze voorbeelden om een nieuw management systeem te modelleren. De toekomst van de organisatie is een gedecentraliseerde organisatie in plaats van een top down gecentraliseerde bedrijfsstructuur.
Het boek beschrijft de kracht van gedecentraliseerde organisaties aan de hand van de analogie ‘Starfish en Spider’, waarbij de Starfish voor een gedecentraliseerde organisatie staat en een Spider vergeleken wordt met een gecentraliseerde organisatie.

Shift happens
Finally, an excellent video about ”’the emergence of our global collective intelligence”’. Watch it on ”'[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljbI-363A2Q Shift Happens]”’. It’s about .
[http://www.intentblog.com/author.php?author=Deepak%20Chopra Deepak Chopra] writes:
:…there are more school kids with high IQs in China than there are school kids in the United States. Or that a single week of the New York Times contains more information than the average person absorbed in a lifetime in the 18th century. The overall message is that the world is changing exponentially. Information doubles every couple of years while the price of computers gets cut in half. If such trends continue, the market will produce a $1,000 computer in our lifetime with more capacity than the human brain.
::—”’Shift happens”’
In part 2, Chopra continues to say:
:…When it first came into usage, “the global brain” seemed like only a metaphor. But the more we learn about how the human brain functions, the more convincing the parallels are in real life. In many ways each of us is participating in a brain without borders, one that encompasses humankind. I’d like to focus on several striking similarities between individual and ”’collective intelligence”’.
::—”’Reality is shaped by perception”’
And in part 3, he states:
:…Trying to understand the global brain with the same objectivity that science explores the human brain is difficult, because every society is enmeshed in the global brain. None of us occupies a privileged position outside and apart. Our personal perceptions are often overwhelmed by influences from collective consciousness — this is why so few people are able to separate themselves from fear of terrorism, for example, and why the vast majority don’t even try. Yet the more objectively we observe the global brain, the more understanding it yields.
:Let me continue with describing some of the salient features that are common to an individual brain and the global brain.
::—”’The entire brain is invisibly correlated”’
Some other key points:
*The ”’global brain”’ is more than the sum of all individual brains. It’s ”’a web of collective intelligence”’…
*…that the global brain is taking ”’an evolutionary leap”’ at this very minute…
*…It’s been estimated that as many as a million new connections are formed per minute during this phase. If something like that is happening on a global scale, ”’two massive trends are colliding”’.…
*…”’One trend is downward”’. It consists of everything calamitous that one reads about in the newspaper: global warming, epidemic disease, political upheaval, warring religions, and a tide of refugees extending beyond old national boundaries.…
*…”’The other trend is upward”’, and it comes down to ”’the exponential expansion of intelligence”’.…
*…There’s a lot more to say about the global brain and where it’s heading. But even from this snapshot, ”’one gains new hope”’.…
