Spirituality Archives

The new century and millenium have opened with a bang, and yet again, with war and terror in the name of religion. Clearly, the emerging global generation needs to articulate and define our shared and sometimes differing spiritual values if we are to succeed together.

Read the recent comments from Youtube below.

He is the first 21st century politician. It feels like fate has sent us this man to balance out the folly of the last 8 years -- and sound the death knell of the neo-conservative hoax.

This man is Great, like him or hate him, he's man of conviction. This speech isn't from a man that just wants to be President, but a man that wants a America for Mankind, and a better future for all.

Heading to Nowhere this weekend

Nowhere

So after this guy / musician Eli Salzman asked me for directions on Saturday on East London, we exchanged a few texts. Busking in Europe for severla months, he seemed proactive on the music / arts scene, which I've been missing in my time in London so far. After watching No Direction Home this weekend (first online movie purchase/download), I've got back into my wannabe Bob Dylan mode, and ended up going to see Eli play a few songs and started talking about Burning Man. Turns out he's been several times, has a good friend going this weekend to Nowhere, an event in the similar spirit in the desert 3 and a half hours from Barcelona in the Pyrenees. After a few days of considering details and options, the moral of the story is, we're going.

I'll let you know how it turns out after I get back on Monday, but I'm looking forward to a few days with some creative spirits across Europe in the Montanas de Espana.

Green Man comes as Burning Man grows

On this cloudy Sunday in London, I've been reading a subscribing to sources for green lifestyle, and have started to wonder if I should attend Burning Man this year. I've never been, and feel like this year is going to be the climax / tipping point into the mainstream of the culture. The theme is also "The Green Man." Check out this video that shares the plan for the pavilion in Google Earth.

Photosynth and the Collective Image Memory

This TED Photosynth demo is cool. Thanks David for passing it along. The part about Notre Dame and Flickr shows us the amazing future. How the hyperlinks between the images we capture can give us collective memories of physical realities. If only we could headrush forward... Check out the Photosynth project as well.

"I Have a Dream" and the rise of a healthy culture

I'm sure this video came out a while ago, but I just saw it for the first time, and it makes me feel good about where we're moving as a culture. Common and Al Gore and General Electric are all moving the culture in a more healthy direction. Now we gotta speed up the momentum.
