Mistype: "I will, therefore I think and am." - Cieszkowski

"I will, therefore I think I am." - August Cieszkowski

Yea tensegrity structures have their own pull/push system that equalize and are light weight.
Buckminster Fuller is someone to look into if you're interested, he was big on dynamic maximum tension (dymaxion), tension integrity (tensegrity), geodesic spheres and our future.

"In each of us there are the potential criminal and the potential saint or hero. It is a question of different development, valuation, choice, control, and expression." - Roberto Assagioli

Wim seems like he's using holotropic breathing, but is there a distinct difference I'm not catching?

Info and tips on how breathing changes the carbon dioxide/oxygen level in the blood which changes blood pH and thus alters the way the brain interprets stimuli and emotion.
Breathing exercises can increase blood alkalinity and metabolic rate for quicker neurotransmitter firing.

"Transcendence refers to the very highest and most inclusive or holistic levels of human consciousness, behaving and relating, as ends rather than means, to oneself, to significant others, to human beings in general, to other species, to nature, and to the cosmos." - Maslow

"...societies where non-aggression is conspicuous have social orders in which the individual by the same act and at the same time serves his own advantage and that of the group..." - Abraham Maslow

Real synergy and success is attained through coherent organization, not violence.

If the most prominent competition between all of the world's nations was a competition to be the most moral and ethical place on the planet, the result would be a non-zero-sum game where one nation's actions is likely to benefit other nations and their people too.

-“…the bulldog-ant of Australia . . . if it is cut in two, a battle begins between the head and the tail. The head seizes the tail with its teeth, and the tail defends itself bravely by stinging the head: the battle usually lasts for half an hour..." - Schopenhauer

"...all multiples of 9, where their single figures are added together, give as their product either the number 9 or one whose single figures again make 9..." - Schopenhauer

-“…the so-called armed peace, as it now exists in all countries, is the absence of peace of mind. One trusts neither oneself nor one’s neighbors and, half from hatred, half from fear, does not lay down arms.” - from Walter Kaufmann's Nietzsche

Article from about a year ago that discusses Karl Friston's lifestyle and his Free Energy Principle. If you're curious about "theories of everything" and aren't aware of this yet, set aside 30 mins to read it as this theory may be around for a very long time.

"People are not disturbed by events, but rather by their judgements about events." - Epictetus

One of Zeno's metaphors: "the wise man is like a dog tethered to a cart, running alongside and smoothly keeping pace with it, whereas a foolish man is like a dog that struggles against the leash but finds himself dragged alongside the cart anyway."

page 61, not 77. from Stoicism and the Art of Happiness by Donald Robertson.

"...the Stoics insisted that once we go through a kind of philosophical ‘conversion’ we will see through the smokescreen of conventional values and learn to equate eudaimonia completely with the life according to virtue, rising above both external fortune and misfortune alike"p77

"It is only a short step from the sublime to the ridiculous." - Thomas Paine

"...for example, a rate of four hundred and eighty-three billion beats per second produces red, and seven hundred and twenty-seven billion beats in a second produces violet, and so on." - Arthur Schopenhauer

"...even light is said to be the mechanical vibration, or perhaps even undulation, of an imaginary ether . . . This ether, if it reaches the eye, beats rapidly upon the retina, and gives us the knowledge of colour."

“There is only one constant, one universal that is the only real truth, causality. Action, reaction. Cause, and effect . . . choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without.” - The Matrix Reloaded

"Other people's views and troubles can be contagious. Don't sabotage yourself by unwittingly adopting negative, unproductive attitudes through your associations with others." - Epictetus

"the best way for a person to discover what he ought to do is to find out who and what he is, because the path to ethical and value decisions, to wiser choices, to oughtness, is via “isness,” via the discovery of facts, truth, reality, the nature of the particular person" -Maslow

"...the strength of a spirit might be measured according to how much of the “truth” he would be able to stand—more clearly, to what degree it would need to be watered down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, and falsified." - Nietzsche

I havn't gotten the "know yourself" thing to work yet. The problem I'm having is that after signing the message that it wants me to, it takes me right back to the home page and not to any "know yourself" page. Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or not.

"All great ages of culture are ages of political decline: what is great culturally has always been unpolitical, even anti-political." - Nietzsche

Hypothesis: Every entity, idea or object is the culmination of smaller-order entities, ideas, or objects, organized in a unique way.

Questions: On the smallest level, is everything composed of Planck particles, quanta, quarks, or something else? Is their aim to "will to life?"

Nice, please add me to the list!

"...We are more than the atoms and molecules that make up our bodies, but beings of light as well. Biophotons are emitted by the human body, can be released through mental intention, and may modulate fundamental processes within cell-to-cell communication and DNA."

"Most of our spiritual, psychological and social problems can be traced back to the lack of integration and union." - Walter Weisskopf

A great article about decision making, broken into the will phase, the choice phase, and the decision phase.

"...what we call human values are essentially symbolic universes that have developed in history. You will find this definition applicable to any field of human activity, be it science, technology, arts, morals, or religion." - Ludwig Von Bertalanffy

"...“unselfish creative love” is not only one of the highest values of the Trinity of value, Truth, Goodness, Beauty, but it is also one of the three most sublime forms of energy, having gigantic potential power for the modification of man and man’s universe." - Pitirim Sorokin

The first solution is awareness, including self-knoweldge. Then it's about unification. Fit everything under one umbrella, then fit all those umbrellas together under a new umbrella, continually unify them, into a coherent whole, aim for synergy- then the end is love, and art.

"Love means acceptance of oneself and of others in their totality of their being. Love embraces all; it does not mean that we accept only partial aspects of ourselves, of others, of the world, but that we accept the whole and find it good." - Walter Weisskopf

quote said by Alan Watts from Maslow's The Farther Reaches of Human Nature

"in the moment of death many people undergo the curious sensation not only of accepting but of having willed everything that has happened to them. This is not willing in the imperious sense; it is the unexpected discovery of an identity between the willed and the inevitable."
