An example of culture-making and delightful gathering spaces for human beings. "Cultural creativity of a deeper sort is needed. The designers of the central concourse at Charlotte Douglas International Airport exercised some of this creativity several years ago when they placed several dozen white wooden rocking chairs under the hardy (or perhaps plastic) trees that line the atrium across from the food courts--creating a space where mothers rock their babies, college students read novels, and senior citizens...
As per an original Google+ post I wrote August 9, 2011: I'm in the early stage of percolating ideas around some kind of gathering that's a mix between an unconference, an urban game and/or urban intervention community art project (i.e. interactive art). First up perhaps in Las Vegas, also maybe New Orleans; don't see why not other places as well. The purpose is barn-raising--by cross-fertilizing and sharing our individual objectives, dreams, desires we'll find partners, new ideas, and who can predict what else...

"Everything is perfect, but there is always room for improvement," - Suzuki RoshiBackstory: Frank has delved into spirituality ever since reading Cosmic Consciousness as a younger man. He once was going to write something like Cosmic Consciousness 2, yet for many reasons did not. After an email exchange, Jed McKenna accepts Frank's offer to come to stay in Mexico to write his third book, Spiritual Warfare. Jed is working on the that manuscript as Frank's daughter Lisa reads over his shoulder. This is the first...
For a moment I thought I could leave spirituality out of this Center and its accompanying virtual collaboration "games", and in a way, that's true. We're applying spirituality, not simply chatting about it. None can brute force themselves into the realm of what many would label to be "miracles", "magic" or "the supernatural." The finite mind won't take you beyond the finite. Since the Center is about infinite possibility and exploring and surfing the edge of that in various material forms, surrender is key:""Knowingness...
"The ARG [alternate reality game] creates a median space between the two poles: participatory but guided. Social, but driven by the need for collaboration and the self-selection of the participants...
"In summary, natural telepathy, the kind often featured in science fiction and fantasy is impossible today." -- Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel, by Michio Kaku I like Kaku, but that statement assumes that telepathy is occurring between two distinct brains. Wrong presumption. Jeanette [Anderson, a traditional Okanagan Indian] said, "Attitudes about interspecies communication are the primary difference between Western and indigenous...
"[A]n ARG is a game that encourages players to interact with each other in a fictional world using the real-world as their platform."What if we sort of flipped that? What if we developed an alternate...
“Thus the yeoman work in any science, and especially physics, is done by the experimentalist, who must keep the theoreticians honest.” - Michio Kaku, Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel...
