Some thoughts from Joo Hock to share:
Buckminster Fuller said:
"I know I live on Earth at present, I don't know what I am. I know I'm not a category, a thing, a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process, an integral function of Universe."
I have often shared this quote of Bucky, in our Bucky Group sessions, because I've found that it make sense.
Hmmm...what do I mean?
Well, who we are truly, is that we are not the physical! We are metaphysical, or as some have realized, we are "spiritual". We're not THINGS!
In the exploration of Universe, when we go from the macro realm to the micro realm, we discover that 99.99999....% of atoms is really empty space. What seemed solid, like our tables and chairs, including ourselves, are actually NOT solid after all. Electromagnetic waves, like X-rays can pass through our bodies simply because our bodies are not solid. The atoms and molecules of which we're comprised of are 99.99% empty space. These atoms and molecules behave according to certain behavioral patterns, which these patterns of behavior may be described as Principles, and the "solids" that we're made up, are Pure Principles operating and interacting in orderliness. Buckminster Fuller termed them as Generalized Principles operating in Universe.
But so what? What's the big deal?
For me it is a reminder not to be too attached to material things. And this is something most spiritual people talked about.
So?
What we really want in this day and age is to Experience.
With "artificial intelligence" power evolving and growing exponentially, we are certainly moving into this Age of Experience, with the realization of the Virtual Reality and Avatars that we can create.
We experience Creating. thus we are evolving and experiencing ourselves as gods.
So?
Future generations of human will be moving away from ownership of "things" to just needing to use "things" because what they really want is to live life to the fullest, and not wanting to be tied "down" to "material things" which they could not take with them when they have to say "bye-bye."
We are truly verb/gods.

yes, as i am awake focusing on starting a journal about "investigating myself:, I want yo search about this leadership guru Joo Hock told us about, Charles Handy. Charles Handy was sharing what is great about writing things about yourself, Just by doing that, you can learn a tremendous amount of knowledge about yourself: that is a path to wisdom - as we uncover the stuffs we are made of, we become wiser = we may see through... Know yourself - Socrates "mot d'ordre" (invective?) knowing the self in your, Knowing which which always is. This process is not so much a process of accumulating knowledge but rather uncovering and getting rid of the superfluous.... most of what we are made of is either nothing or water ... superfluous (personalities, possessions. As to what we have done... who remembers? and then?
if we are made of the dust of the stars, we will learn about the dust of the stars, ... by gently paying attention to who we are and what we are made of....
shall we listen? shall we... meditate?
