“Translation into Being” by Robert McEwen, H.W., M.

Leave a comment

Translation back into Being.

“What the hell does that mean? It is a conversation in heaven, or consciousness. “I-Thou” dialogue. We are always talking to ourself. We converse in consciousness with various parts of ourself, be we are always one. A wave in the one ocean of consciousness…

“… As Beingness I am infinite awareness. My judgements stop that process. Judgments stop the process into a closed end, or dead end. This is the only way it is! With holding judgment keeps the process opened. Creative.
So…this converts judgements into compassion. Beingness, no right or wrong. Most all of us are judgmental underneath the “look good I am not judgmental masks”. I am the first to admit I am very judgmental. I want to place the root of this at being raised by a very judgmental mother. Or, I can say I am an Empath (true) and “blame” my judgment on carrying the emotions/judgments of others. Both of these have a seed of truth in them but I do not want to make excuses. Bottom line, judging is not in alignment with the Loving and the Divine being I know I am!

I have been waking up to this duality and discrepancy in my life. As I share things with others that are judgmental, I have an awareness that this not of the Loving. I accept that I am human and that the judgment comes from my human-ness. It is hard to live in this world of duality and not fall into the human traps. Or so I tell myself. As awareness I am clear and constant flow.

Today, as I was reviewing the judgments I have passed on a particular person and things I have said about “never really liking him”, I was able to see full on that I was judging his human persona and not the Divine within him and, more than that, I was not coming from a place of Loving. I was struck by the fact that I can rationalize my failure to be in the Loving by passing it off as my being human without seeing that in the other person! And then, within less than an hour, I witnessed negative thoughts about a person and a situation that has nothing to do with me but I am carrying this for somebody else. And I have been aware for a while that this is a task that I often take on as an Empath. My beloved is also like this and we share a “Grace Space” in our life experiences together. So we are realizing our love alone and together. When I try to label or judge what we have I give it over to Source.

Each time I had this realization today, I decided to choose into Loving! And each time, I immediately felt my one-ness with the Loving and my one-ness with God. It almost seems too easy. But it IS that easy. I am what I focus upon. I am capable of choosing where to place my focus. Yes, I am human and live in a world of duality. Yes, my ego tries to trip me up by pointing my focus on the physical, emotional, or mental realms – sometimes more than one at the same time. But I have a choice! I can focus on the Loving. I can focus on my one-ness with God. I can be the alchemist of my human-ness and transmute things not in alignment with my Soul and God. And when I reach the place of one-ness and Loving, I do not have to judge myself for being out of alignment. I simply own that I AM THAT I AM!

How about you? Are you judgmental or a “fair witness.”

Ursula K. Le Guin, Acclaimed for Her Fantasy Fiction, Is Dead at 88

Leave a comment

By GERALD JONAS

Ursula K. Le Guin, the immensely popular author who brought literary depth and a tough-minded feminist sensibility to science fiction and fantasy with books like “The Left Hand of Darkness” and the Earthsea series, died on Monday at her home in Portland, Ore. She was 88.

Her son, Theo Downes-Le Guin, confirmed the death. He did not specify a cause but said she had been in poor health for several months.

Ms. Le Guin embraced the standard themes of her chosen genres: sorcery and dragons, spaceships and planetary conflict. But even when her protagonists are male, they avoid the macho posturing of so many science fiction and fantasy heroes. The conflicts they face are typically rooted in a clash of cultures and resolved more by conciliation and self-sacrifice than by swordplay or space battles.

Her books have been translated into more than 40 languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide. Several, including “The Left Hand of Darkness” — set on a planet where the customary gender distinctions do not apply — have been in print for almost 50 years. The critic Harold Bloom lauded Ms. Le Guin as “a superbly imaginative creator and major stylist” who “has raised fantasy into high literature for our time.”

In addition to more than 20 novels, she was the author of a dozen books of poetry, more than 100 short stories (collected in multiple volumes), seven collections of essays, 13 books for children and five volumes of translation, including the Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu and selected poems by the Chilean Nobel Prize winner Gabriela Mistral. She also wrote a guide for writers.

“The Left Hand of Darkness,” published in 1969, takes place on a planet called Gethen, where people are neither male nor female.

Ms. Le Guin’s fictions range from young-adult adventures to wry philosophical fables. They combine compelling stories, rigorous narrative logic and a lean but lyrical style to draw readers into what she called the “inner lands” of the imagination. Such writing, she believed, could be a moral force.

The writer’s “pleasant duty,” she said, is to ply the reader’s imagination with “the best and purest nourishment that it can absorb.”

She was born Ursula Kroeber in Berkeley, Calif., on Oct. 21, 1929, the youngest of four children and the only daughter of two anthropologists, Alfred L. Kroeber and Theodora Kracaw Kroeber. Her father was an expert on the Native Americans of California, and her mother wrote an acclaimed book, “Ishi in Two Worlds” (1960), about the life and death of California’s “last wild Indian.”

At a young age, Ms. Le Guin immersed herself in books about mythology, among them James Frazer’s “The Golden Bough,” classic fantasies like Lord Dunsany’s “A Dreamer’s Tales,” and the science-fiction magazines of the day. But in early adolescence she lost interest in science fiction, because, she recalled, the stories “seemed to be all about hardware and soldiers: White men go forth and conquer the universe.”

She graduated from Radcliffe College in 1951, earned a master’s degree in romance literature of the Middle Ages and Renaissance from Columbia University in 1952, and won a Fulbright fellowship to study in Paris. There she met and married another Fulbright scholar, Charles Le Guin, who survives her.

On their return to the United States, she abandoned her graduate studies to raise a family; the Le Guins eventually settled in Portland, where Mr. Le Guin taught history at Portland State University.

Besides her husband and son, Ms. Le Guin is survived by two daughters, Caroline and Elisabeth Le Guin; two brothers, Theodore and Clifton Kroeber; and four grandchildren.

By the early 1960s Ms. Le Guin had written five unpublished novels, mostly set in an imaginary Central European country called Orsinia. Eager to find a more welcoming market, she decided to try her hand at genre fiction.

Her first science-fiction novel, “Rocannon’s World,” came out in 1966. Two years later she published “A Wizard of Earthsea,” the first in a series about a made-up world where the practice of magic is as precise as any science, and as morally ambiguous.

The first three Earthsea books — the other two were “The Tombs of Atuan” (1971) and “The Farthest Shore” (1972) — were written, at the request of her publisher, for young adults. But their grand scale and elevated style betray no trace of writing down to an audience.

The magic of Earthsea is language-driven: Wizards gain power over people and things by knowing their “true names.” Ms. Le Guin took this discipline seriously in naming her own characters. “I must find the right name or I cannot get on with the story,” she said. “I cannot write the story if the name is wrong.”

The Earthsea series was clearly influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. But instead of a holy war between Good and Evil, Ms. Le Guin’s stories are organized around a search for “balance” among competing forces — a concept she adapted from her lifelong study of Taoist texts.

She returned to Earthsea later in her career, extending and deepening the trilogy with books like “Tehanu” (1990) and “The Other Wind” (2001), written for a general audience.

“The Left Hand of Darkness,” published in 1969, takes place on a planet called Gethen, where people are neither male nor female but assume the attributes of either sex during brief periods of reproductive fervor. Speaking with an anthropological dispassion, Ms. Le Guin later referred to her novel as a “thought experiment” designed to explore the nature of human societies.

“I eliminated gender to find out what was left,” she told The Guardian.

But there is nothing dispassionate about the relationship at the core of the book, between an androgynous native of Gethen and a human male from Earth. The book won the two major prizes in science fiction, the Hugo and Nebula awards, and is widely taught in secondary schools and colleges.

Much of Ms. Le Guin’s science fiction has a common background: a loosely knit confederation of worlds known as the Ekumen. This was founded by an ancient people who seeded humans on habitable planets throughout the galaxy — including Gethen, Earth and the twin worlds of her most ambitious novel, “The Dispossessed,” subtitled “An Ambiguous Utopia” (1974).

As the subtitle implies, “The Dispossessed” contrasts two forms of social organization: a messy but vibrant capitalist society, which oppresses its underclass, and a classless “utopia” (partly based on the ideas of the Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin), which turns out to be oppressive in its own conformist way. Ms. Le Guin leaves it up to the reader to find a comfortable balance between the two.

“The Lathe of Heaven” (1971) offers a very different take on utopian ambitions. A man whose dreams can alter reality falls under the sway of a psychiatrist, who usurps this power to conjure his own vision of a perfect world, with unfortunate results.

“The Lathe of Heaven” was among the few books by Ms. Le Guin that have been adapted for film or television. There were two made-for-television versions, one on PBS in 1980 and the other on the A&E cable channel in 2002.

Among the other adaptations of her work were the 2006 Japanese animated feature “Tales From Earthsea” and a 2004 mini-series on the Sci Fi channel, “Legend of Earthsea.”

With the exception of the 1980 “Lathe of Heaven,” she had little good to say about any of them.

Ms. Le Guin always considered herself a feminist, even when genre conventions led her to center her books on male heroes. Her later works, like the additions to the Earthsea series and such Ekumen tales as “Four Ways to Forgiveness” (1995) and “The Telling” (2000), are mostly told from a female point of view.

In some of her later books, she gave in to a tendency toward didacticism, as if she were losing patience with humanity for not learning the hard lessons — about the need for balance and compassion — that her best work so astutely embodies.

At the 2014 National Book Awards, Ms. Le Guin was given the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. She accepted the medal on behalf of her fellow writers of fantasy and science fiction, who, she said, had been “excluded from literature for so long” while literary honors went to the “so-called realists.”

She also urged publishers and writers not to put too much emphasis on profits.

“I have had a long career and a good one,” she said, adding, “Here at the end of it, I really don’t want to watch American literature get sold down the river.”

Correction: January 24, 2018 
An earlier version of this obituary misspelled the surname of the social anthropologist who wrote “The Golden Bough.” He was James Frazer, not Frazier.
Correction: January 26, 2018 
An earlier version of this obituary misstated part of the name of Ms. Le Guin’s mother. She was Theodora Kracaw Kroeber, not Theodora Quinn Kroeber.

That Obscure Subject of Desire

2 Comments

By Natalie Portman

Jan 23, 2018 (medium.com)

Let’s talk about pleasure. I keep hearing a particular gripe about this cultural shift, and maybe you have too. Some people have been calling this movement Puritanical or a return to Victorian values, where men can’t behave or speak sexually around dainty, delicate, fragile women. To these people I want to say:

The current system is Puritanical. Maybe men can say and do whatever they want, but women cannot. The current system inhibits women from expressing our desires, wants and needs, from seeking our pleasure. Let me tell you about my own experience:

I turned 12 on the set of my first film, The Professional, in which I played a young girl who befriends a hitman and hopes to avenge the murder of her family by a corrupt DEA officer. The character is simultaneously discovering and developing her womanhood, her desire, and her voice. At that moment in my life, I, too, was discovering my own womanhood, my own desire, and my own voice.

I was so excited, at 13, when the film was released and my work and my art would have a human response. I excitedly opened my first fan mail, to read a rape fantasy a man had written to me. A countdown was started on my local radio show to my 18th birthday, euphemistically the date I would be legal to sleep with. Movie reviewers talked about my “budding breasts” in reviews. I understood very quickly, even as a 13-year-old, that if I were to express myself sexually, I would feel unsafe, and that men would feel entitled to discuss and objectify my body, to my great discomfort.

I quickly adjusted my behavior. I rejected any role that even had a kissing scene, and talked about that choice deliberately in interviews. I emphasized my bookishness and seriousness and cultivated a way of public dressing that was stereotypically “elegant and refined.” I built a reputation for basically being prudish, conservative, nerdy and serious — in an attempt to feel that my body was safe and my voice would be listened to.

At 13 years old, the message from our culture was clear to me. I felt the need to cover my body, and to inhibit my expression and my work, in order to send my own message to the world that I’m someone worthy of safety and respect. The response to my expression- from small comments about my body to more threatening, deliberate statements, served to control my behavior, through an environment of sexual terrorism — where even a woman who is not directly subject to assault, feels threatened by the environment of violence to inhibit her behavior.

A world in which I could wear whatever I want, say whatever I want, and express my desire however I want, without fearing for my physical safety or reputation — that would be the world in which female desire and sexuality could have its greatest expression and fulfillment. That world we want to build, is the opposite of puritanical.

One of my girlfriends from school used to joke: “sometimes it’s easier to just kiss the guy than explain to him why you don’t want to.” We would all laugh, but the message was clear — we were more worried about offending the guy, or being uncomfortable with him, or hurting his feelings, than about doing what we wanted to do.

As girls, we were socialized to spend our time making ourselves look attractive to guys- our hair, our makeup, our bodies. We learned our best angles for them, the things boys liked us to say — and the things they didn’t like us to. We were able to see ourselves through their eyes, and dictate our behavior by what they wanted us to be like. And it made us sometimes forget to ask what we, ourselves, wanted. And often made us unable to even know what we, ourselves wanted, because we were so caught up in thinking about what theywanted.

Well let’s not make our new world about we and they, about us and them. Considering what someone else desires isn’t a bad thing. Actually, it’s a form of empathy. The consideration just needs to be reciprocal, and not at the expense of one’s own desire.

So I’d like to propose one way to continue moving this revolution forward: Let’s declare loud and clear: This is what I want. This is what I need. This is what I desire. This is how you can help me achieve pleasure.

To people of all genders here with us today, let us find a space where we mutually, consensually look out for each other’s pleasure, and allow the vast, limitless range of desire to be expressed.

Let’s make a revolution of desire.

Infinite thought of the day: Mandelbrot Set Fractals serve up an infinite array of complex and fundamentally harmonious images as one “zooms” into their depth.  The zoom could go on for all eternity and yet there will always be somewhat similar but obviously new and unique images.
Here’s a very pretty YouTube Mandelbrot Zoom, only 13 minutes long, well worth the time to view it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujvy-DEA-UM 
ALL Mandelbrot Zooms arise from an amazingly simple mathematical formula: Z equals Z squared plus C, iterated millions of times, Z=Z^2+C
The formula is plotted on what’s called the Complex Plane.

The death of Christianity in the U.S. (from Baptist News Global)

Leave a comment

OPINION:    |  NOVEMBER 13, 2017

Miguel De La TorreChristianity has died in the hands of Evangelicals. Evangelicalism ceased being a religious faith tradition following Jesus’ teachings concerning justice for the betterment of humanity when it made a Faustian bargain for the sake of political influence. The beauty of the gospel message — of love, of peace and of fraternity — has been murdered by the ambitions of Trumpish flimflammers who have sold their souls for expediency. No greater proof is needed of the death of Christianity than the rush to defend a child molester in order to maintain a majority in the U.S. Senate.

Evangelicals have constructed an exclusive interpretation which fuses and confuses white supremacy with salvation. Only those from the dominant culture, along with their supposed inferiors who with colonized minds embrace assimilation, can be saved. But their salvation damns Jesus. To save Jesus from those claiming to be his heirs, we must wrench him from the hands of those who use him as a façade from which to hide their phobias — their fear of blacks, their fear of the undocumented, their fear of Muslims, their fear of everything queer.

Evangelicalism has ceased to be a faith perspective rooted on Jesus the Christ and has become a political movement whose beliefs repudiate all Jesus advocated. A message of hate permeates their pronouncements, evident in sulphurous proclamations like the Nashville Statement, which elevates centuries of sexual dysfunctionalities since the days of Augustine by imposing them upon Holy Writ. They condemn as sin those who express love outside the evangelical anti-body straight jacket.

Evangelicalism’s unholy marriage to the Prosperity Gospel justifies multi-millionaire bilkers wearing holy vestments made of sheep’s clothing who discovered being profiteers rather than prophets delivers an earthly security never promised by the One in whose name they slaughter those who are hungry, thirsty and naked, and the alien among them. Christianity at a profit is an abomination before all that is Holy. From their gilded pedestals erected in white centers of wealth and power, they gaslight all to believe they are the ones being persecuted because of their faith.

Evangelicalism’s embrace of a new age of ignorance, blames homosexuality for Harvey’s rage rather than considering the scientific consequences climate change has on the number of increasing storms of greater and greater ferocity. To ignore the damage caused to God’s creation so the few can profit in raping Mother Earth causes celebrations in the fiery pits of Gehenna.

Evangelicalism forsakes holding a sexual predator, an adulterer, a liar and a racistaccountable, instead serving as a shield against those who question POTUS’ immorality because of some warped reincarnation of Cyrus. Laying holy hands upon the incarnation of the very vices Jesus condemned to advance a political agenda — instead of rebuking and chastising in loving prayer — has prostituted the gospel in exchange for the victory of a Supreme Court pick.

Evangelicalism either remained silent or actually supported Charlottesville goose steppers because they protect their white privilege with the doublespeak of preserving heritage, leading them to equate opponents of fascist movements with the purveyors of hatred. Jesus has yet recovered from the vomiting induced by the Christian defenders of torch-wielding white nationalists calling for “blood-and-soil.”

The Evangelicals’ Jesus is satanic, and those who hustle this demon are “false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve” (2 Cor. 11:13-15, NIV).

You might wonder if my condemnation is too harsh. It is not, for the Spirit of the Lord has convicted me to shout from the mountaintop how God’s precious children are being devoured by the hatred and bigotry of those who have positioned themselves as the voice of God in America.

As a young man, I walked down the sawdust aisle at a Southern Baptist church and gave my heart to Jesus. Besides offering my broken heart, I also gave my mind to understanding God, and my arm to procuring God’s call for justice. I have always considered myself to be an evangelical, but I can no longer allow my name to be tarnished by that political party masquerading as Christian. Like many women and men of good will who still struggle to believe, but not in the evangelical political agenda, I too no longer want or wish to be associated with an ideology responsible for tearing humanity apart. But if you, dear reader, still cling to a hate-mongering ideology, may I humbly suggest you get saved.

  • All Cosmic Intention Therapy lectures will be recorded and available to students for 6 months.
  • Find Yourself and Live is a Group Dynamic study course that is offered (and inexpensively made available) to all students following the class.
  • A 1-year membership in The Prosperos School of Ontology
  • (Each class consists of approximately 60 minutes of lecture, 10-15 minutes of video, 20 minutes of practical application (such as writing or drawing exercises), and 15-20 minutes of open discussion.)

 For you, who want to make your life better…

… the Cosmic Intention Therapy Class was first developed in 1969 by Thane Walker to help his students thoughtfully participate in the huge LEAP IN AWARENESS that clearly is upon us. “We have a culture with an advanced Star Wars technology AND a Stone Age emotional mentality!”, said E.O. Wilson, American biologist. Humanity is in trouble. There are old patterns (unconscious fear and aggression drives) that we each must move beyond.

There are also timeless principles of life that we need to understand and incorporate more consciously into our daily lives.

After WWII (1945) and the dropping of the first nuclear bomb, Thane believed that a new kind of human being was being born. This new human being did not carry as much of the ancient fear-aggression behavioral conditioning. In the 60s we saw the young people demanding that we MAKE LOVE NOT WAR! Thane called this new human being a “Protomutant”. Proto means “first in time” and mutant means “sudden variation”.  The Protomutant, is a person of any age, who feels great disappointment with the world as it appears today. Political, religious, scientific leaders today are NOT able to sit down together, feel empathy for one another, discuss critically important world problems and together create solutions to benefit everyone. Leaders today spend their time blaming, criticizing and threatening each other rather than working together to solve problems.

The entire curriculum of The Prosperos School of Ontology provides each student with three essentials:

1) Knowledge of essential principles of LIFE

2) Experiences (classes, tape group activities (online and in person), annual assemblies, and more) that empower you to practice the essential principles of LIFE that you are learning

3) Creative opportunities that open your Heart and guide you in successfully making the necessary leap in awareness that is so essential to creating a livable future for us all.

Come explore how to approach personal as well as worldly problems as Evolutionary Drivers.

Learn how to see the changes going on in the world, and in yourself, from a COSMIC point of view.

Rollo May addresses the evolutionary leap we are all living in: “We are part of a culture that is dying in order that a new society may be born. This dying period is certainly no picnic for any sensitive person. While we have psychotherapists of all kinds trying to meet this need, for the most part, they are equipped only to patch people up. The breakdowns of our morals and family life are part of the radical change. If we can see this, then we can move ahead with courage. We must realize that we are building a future.”

CIT – SESSION #1 – February 12 – Historical Perspective of Evolution

In the first session (February 12), your teacher will provide a clear and convincing historical perspective about the previous leaps in awareness that humanity has already lived through and accomplished, beginning with the early pre-history of humanity. This long-range perspective will help you to understand better how we got to where we are today and also it provides clear evidence of what our role is in the evolution of consciousness.

You will explore and learn how the unconscious mind constructs our world view. You will also explore and learn that within you is the ability to solve our problems.

  • We are living in a time of profound change.
  •  A new kind of human is evolving in us today.
  • “We have Star Wars technology…and yet our emotions are still in the stone age.”
  • We must be willing to break with the patterns of FEAR/AGGRESSION
  • We must realize that the pattern of this new human is LOVE
  • We must realize that we have a relationship with the Creative Force.
  • We yearn to become all that we can become.

CIT – SESSION #2 – February 19 – Waking up to our True Identity as Consciousness

The ancient teachings taught that all suffering comes from ignorance of the Nature of Reality. When a person is ignorant of the Nature of Reality, he or she becomes easily poisoned by greed (needing to acquire more) and hatred (thinking others want your stuff). We are living in the era of Trump and Kim Jong un – both saber rattling with nuclear weapons. We must WAKE UP from our ignorance of the Nature of Reality (of principles and the orderly arrangement of the Universe, the deeper Truth within). We each must become more consciously aware that we are part of the COSMIC INTENTION. What is this? Agatha Christie says, “There is a brave new world, but only for special people – the lucky ones…the ones who carry the making of that world within them.” We are all lucky – when we WAKE UP and become aware of our responsibility in the evolution of Consciousness! We are all fortunate when we become consciously aware of our membership in what Barbara Marx Hubbard is calling “Generation One” – the first generation of humans who recognize that we have the power to destroy our planet OR to evolve into a higher understanding of our connected ONENESS.

This COSMIC INTENTION class offers insights and practices that you need now to help you become an effective agent for GOOD in the world.

The COSMIC INTENTION CLASS is a foundation class that clarifies the purpose and intent of the Teachings offered by The Prosperos School of Ontology. The Teachings are based upon the idea that our True Identity is NOT our ego (separate sense of self). Our True Identity is Awareness or Mind or Consciousness – the ability to think. Every little baby is born into this world as Awareness. As we grow up, we learn (from our family and community) the names for things that are in our awareness. But seldom are we taught or reminded that we are Awareness!

In simple terms, the Cosmic Intention is YOU becoming all that YOU can become in this life.

CIT – SESSION #3 – February 26 – A new kind of Leadership

Learn how to be a real leader! At one time in our history a pantheon of gods exhibited a complete range of attributes which somewhat successfully guided human behavior. In ancient Greece there were over 60 different gods, each with unique powers and patterns for people to admire and integrate into their own lives. Today our pantheon of gods is a list of celebrities (TV hosts, movie stars, politicians, business magnates, etc.) While gods are admired – leaders are responsible for some people.  I am inviting you to explore “Self Leadership” and learn what shapes your unique Point of View.  John Pratt, a scientist at the University of Michigan rates the failure of leadership as the third greatest threat to the survival of our civilization. The first greatest threat is a nuclear war; the second greatest threat is a worldwide plague.

Learn how to be a real leader!

“The nearest each one of us can come to god is by loving the Truth. If we don’t program the computer truthfully – with all the Truth, nothing but the Truth – we won’t get the answers that allow us to make it.”   ~  Buckminster Fuller

The Prosperos is a Community

Everyone needs the support of kindred spirits, especially when living in such a challenging time as we do today. The Prosperos is a community of very different individuals who share a common desire to evolve and re-identify as consciousness. As Carl Jung said, “Everything depends on the development of the consciousness.” When you take a Prosperos class, you’ll be able to participate in a private online social network created exclusively for participants in this course.

You are invited to attend monthly, free, online talks with Heather, titled: “Activate YOUR Creativity”!  These take place on the second Sunday of every month. Just click this link at 11:00 am PST: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/523715789.
