Comment on Changing the dream of the north by marilynhamilton

You remind me that even from Day 1, our Governor General opened the ceremonies — someone who embodies a dream of the world realized, because of her birthplace of Haiti. So she was visible (has a black-skinned person ever opened the Winter Olympics before). And our First Nations peoples were in both positional and cultural interpretation presence on Day 1 and Day 17 and Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Even the visible ethnic/racial differences of our athletes was also apparent. In many ways this was a Four Quadrant All Levels Olympics.

There is something striking about a country that welcomes the world in the spirit in which Canada and our First Nations did. The international media are noticing that it wasn’t just the Government of Canada that welcomed the world – which is so often the case. The welcome was from our wonderful people from all over the world. I heard a media report about Yonge Street in Toronto after Sunday’s hockey game win – it looked like the world was on the street.

Canada’s dream – for Canada and the world – is about how much can be done when fully in relation with each other. Is struggle, with honour, in competition, in learning, in loving differences, there is a wonderful dream to behold.

Comment on Neuromarketing = Dumbing Down by marilynhamilton

Actually I do give us the benefit of the doubt and imagine the possibility that neuromarketing ” might also induce intelligent antibodies to resist such messaging?? ”

And if it were possible we’d all be zombies now?? I wonder how much or our potential is wasted by exposing our brains to such consumer-driven messages as we volunteer for now??? Rather a lot, I suppose.

Just a thot or two.

“…dumbs down audiences into zombies” – this simply isn’t going to happen. Give human brains a little credit. Also, give advertising geniuses of the last 50 years some credit, too. If it were possible, we’d all be zombies by now.

Comment on The Master Rule as Three Faces of God by marilynhamilton

Perhaps, another way to think about the three faces of God in the city is through a process that Spiral Dynamics calls “Five Deep”.

I think about it in terms of the integral quadrants this way:

3rd person observations of actions (1) and systems (2) (It – Upper Right /Its – Lower Right)
2nd person relationships of culture and belonging (3) (We – Lower Left)
1st person experience of intentions (4) (I – Upper Left).

The fifth depth (5) in SD is the zone of the Master Code which gives rise to the DNA that unfolds as life.
