The influnce of the '60s if bringing forwards a Higher Consiousness:
comments from Michael Grady:
Michael Grady • I think you are right Mike, it is personal. I only talk about it among friends, otherwise it's a bit unbelievable.
The 60's, in my view, was mostly just a psychosocial shift from repression to impulsion, even compulsion. Now that we've experienced both extreme sides, the real truth is in the middle balance, and that's where we're heading. Whether we get there in one piece in not yet known. There are many special interests that want to keep us disoriented, for profit purposes.
As one example of those special interests, the physics of thermodynamics, long run by greed, must ultimately be replaced as a paradigm in favor of a gentle, quiet and emission-free energy derived from Nature. That's an example of an over-masculine mentality transformed into a balanced mentality. But in order to move to that point, in the psychological dimension, we must transform first into an affirming "be-ing" based culture, with less emphasis on placing ultimate value of a person's worth on what the person "does".
I don't know if we will get to that point. Ultimately, a human's be-ing of unique personhood starts at fertilization, not at birth. Until we get honest with that singular truth, expect either enlightenment or annihilation, in my *personal* view.
Mwc Bayles • The question of a good life always involves balance. Freedom needs to be balanced with responsibility. Choices must be considered in light of consequences. A lot of choices made are not made very thoughtfully.
Michael Rosenthal • More on the 1960's. Unless consciousness is incarnated it does not exist. And if it is to exist in it's highest form - human - that human must exist. Here is where the Mayan system breaks down. It does not bridge well to the individual and that is the strong suit of Christianity. The Mayan culture broke down at that point where it met Christianity precisely because it needed Christianity. My experience, my faith tells me that the 1960's were a high point of Christian civilization. And if that is true - it was more than just in the air. Ask George Harrison - when he sang "My Sweet Lord" - it was to a living person. You need to read between the lines of 1960's music to know what was and going on. Ask Dylan, Paul and Mic - they know more than they are saying. Why the recent attack of Joni Mitchell on Bob Dylan? It was not over music. It was over honesty and urgency.
Michael Grady • Mike, I understand a lot more now. Lots of wisdom. Greatly appreciated. Thanks for that bridge. Was wondering if you could analyze one verse from John Lennon. He sang: "Imagine there's no heaven, imagine there's no hell".
Yet, in the universe of ontology that I know best, I think it would be more accurate to sing "Imagine there's no earth". How do you reflect on this?
Michael Grady • Mike, one more interesting thing to consider: George Harrison was the first in Western culture to introduce the Indian sitar to the public. Of appreciable interest in this is the shift from 440hz to 432hz, which is a move away from the slightly distorted to the correct ancient harmonic based in nature.
