Basing GNP On Resource Extraction Is Self-Cannibalism, 2023

But digestion also consumes energy (transportation, manufacturing, packaging, marketing, delivery, trash collection, and recycling). And then what? Where do you acquire the nutrients needed to heal your self-made wound?

From the Possibility Management perspective, depression is a doorway to transformation. But the shifts don't occur in the mind or the physical body, they happen in the emotional and energetic bodies. Here is how.

On the one hand, the Jabberwock will soon die suffocating in its own excrement. On the other hand, the Jabberwock's death throes take out global ecosystems and species. Slaying it quickly may assure a brighter future for all. But how to do it? With these intelligent insights you will already begin the job.

Ignorant, we stand by like grazing sheep while psychopaths throw armies of our innocent sons and daughters against fabricated enemies as a way of generating trillions in profits, vying against each other for a calculated hegemony. Behind the apparent insanity of contemporary history is the actual insanity of psychopaths, fighting to preserve their disproportionate power. A psychopath lacks a genetic sense of remorse or empathy with others, and this deficit shows up in brain scans! Distinguishing between human and psychopathic qualities begins the foundation of responsibility upon which we can create sustainable culture.

I feel angry about how pathetic and sniveling the efforts of men trapped in the patriarchy are towards getting out. How hopelessly, stupidly, and easily men have been lured into self-congratulatory apathy, like children kidnapped with artificially-flavored lollipops. It is a disgraceful response, in my opinion, to the honor and opportunity of having been given a life with Gaia. This piece is rich with clarity and possibility.
Responsibility is applied consciousness.

Mammals did not make war with the dinosaurs. They were ready to adapt when the world changed. Our dinosaurs are doing the damage which is wreaking havoc on their world. Next culture mammals are relocalizing and building communities that will survive the last breaths of the corporate dinosaurs as they crash to their deaths. The world is rapidly changing. Does your thoughtware allow you to adapt?

A missing thought-map can undermine your relationship or your career the same way that a lack of Vitamin C can give you scurvy. This article provides the missing thought-map along with practical ways to improve the quality of your life. This article will address how you think. The way you think influences how the world works for you. A simple example is to remember that the way you think is what makes the world appear flat or round to you. When people upgraded their thoughtmap from flat-world to round-world, it was not the world that changed! It was only our thought-map of the world that changed. The new thought-map gave us new possibilities for creative action because we do not interact with the world as it is. We interact with our thought-maps of the world. What this means is that by getting a new thought-map you get a new world. Welcome to the method of Possibility Management.

However, through personal exploration I can tell you that there are at least two additional lands: the extraordinary and the archetypal.
