Profile Information

Ideas you want to work on:
Healthy Culture, Cultural Activism (speaking about, writing about, practicing, developing "healthy culture") Music, Singing, songwriting, "Art" (Beauty really), Agriculture (permaculture, Masenobu Fukuokua, others), wild crafting, writing, architecture, Healthy Culture economics, chi gung, tai chi, bioremediation, taoist/tantic and similar forms of healing sexuality, intentional community,.

this is from my myspace profile:

We all live in, are infected by, and suffer from, a sick Culture of Apart-ness, of Alienation. This culture, like all culture is comprised of Cosmology, Identity, Ritual, and Infrastructure. In the case of the dominant culture this means; a Cosmology of Apart-ness, an Identity-Politics of Apart-ness, Rituals of (inner and outer) Apart- ness, and Infrastructures of Apart-ness. Education (formal and informal) is the transmission of culture, and in our case it is the transmission of this sick culture. The factional political paradigms or our time (including those based on race, gender, class, political party, nationality, even species) are all symptoms of, rather than cures for, this condition of sick culture. As such, none of them have any potential at all for changing anything that matters in any sustainable way. We have no time for this.

Since sick culture is the problem, it follows that Healthy Culture is the solution. So what is Healthy Culture and how does it manifest on the collective, political Level? Glad you asked. This question is explored on my two motime blogs :integralscience.motime.com and lifedancelog.motime.com. There I write of an extremely small, but vital and replicable, Cultural Pilot Project that is currently going on in the cultural microclimate of Twin Oaks Intentional community in Virginia,(soon to move to England perhaps) involving the practice of Healthy Culture; its cosmology of Togetherness (Integral Science), its Identity-Politics of Togetherness (Individual-Personhood), it’s Rituals of Togetherness (Life-Dance rituals) and its Infrastructure of Togetherness.
Who you would like to hear from:
cultural evolutionaries, open minded people of good will interested in catalyzing their own healing together with that of others (possibly me) and the world...persons who like and can see some promise in the following healthy culture proverb: everybody has a piece of the Truth; everybody also has a piece of the Lie...
