Beyond The Thing-World Is Living Reality and Meaning

Skye Hirst, PhD – Autognomics Institute –Changing the Conversation of What is Life?
For Inner Tapestry

It is common today for us to hear the question, where is the meaning to life?  To experience meaning our living natures require a connection to more than the day-to-day realities of the physical world, a narrow focus on the bottom line, fragmented, isolated facts/statistics/details etc.  It requires an embracement, an embodied experiencing of our living reality as it relates to something more spiritual in nature.
 
A New Consciousness of Life as Organism: A Living Vision
Thursday, 10 September 2009
Changing the worldview and conversation of what is life?

As Norm and I focus on how the Consciousness is shifting daily, we recognize the need for having Conversations That Matter that can help in understanding the changing worldview of what is life – a living vision of ourselves as living organisms, functioning with awareness of epi-organizing laws, connected to other living organisms, all made from the same bio-energy matrix of life-itself.  It seems particularly relevant to the conversations about health and health care that are so loud with politicized rhetoric, and which leave out what really matters...health, aliveness.
 
Movement of Life: Living Organisms Evolve
Thursday, 10 September 2009
We think of movement as meaning change. There are many kinds of change: physical, spiritual, intellectual and social. There are movements in the sense of organizations trying to cause change. Today it seems change is pervasive. Everything is changing.  Even common sense beliefs are being abandoned. For example, can a living entity (you and me, cells, molecules etc.) burn water? Well, of course it has been thought not to be possible. But it is now known that they can and do; so routinely that they don’t even know it. Just about every day I see another long held belief come into question.  Confusion reigns!
 
Coming Home to Our Living-ness Might Feel Good About Now & It's Only A Leap, a Shift of Focus
Tuesday, 28 April 2009
The times, they are a changing. Windows of possibilities are opening in how we live, work and die.  We see a kind of fork in the roads being traveled today as we make this paradigm shift.  Machine ways that have dominated for so long are losing their appeal as we learn how they have subjugated living energy to ideas of control, separation, isolation and fear.  Many are sensing that the machine-ways have had control long enough.

Election Time, Lighten UP???
Monday, 13 October 2008
Election time.  Decisions to be made for the next 4 years and beyond. Elections create an atmosphere that can bring out the worst or the best in us as a nation of diverse organisms. Competition to win has typically been driven by positions and strategies that will negate or destroy the opposition. It's not usually a time we lighten-up.  However that might be just what is called for.

Attending the Emergence of a New Science - Part I
Wednesday, 08 October 2008
A quiet revolution is occurring. There is something beginning in the fields of philosophy, mathematics, and the sciences, which holds the potential to transform the nature and function of science and mathematics-- and the very foundations of human inquiry and discovery, from physics and biology, to medicine and the social sciences.
 
Attending the Emergence of a New Science - Part II
Friday, 10 October 2008
According to Hirst, "The fundamental revolution will occur in logic." The logics that will provide a new formal foundation for the coming sciences will not rely upon consistency. "These new logics," says Hirst, "unlike the old ones, will allow for time, change, novelty, and even paradox as basic features in the process dynamics of nature.
