"The design process ... must become conscious, global, integrated ... the entire human domain, which means the entire planet and its surrounding near space, should be enclosed and included in a coherent plan driven by human values and a thirst for transformational beauty."
Terence McKenna

"Living ape species are specialized species, relicts of a much larger group of now extinct apes. When we consider all evidence—that is, both living and fossil apes and hominins—it is clear that a human evolutionary story based on the few ape species currently alive is missing much of the bigger picture," said study co-author Ashley Hammond, an assistant curator in the Museum's Division of Anthropology.relictnoun a thing which has survived from an earlier period or in a primitive form. • an animal or plant that has survived while others of its group have become extinct, e.g. the coelacanth. • a species or community that formerly had a wider distribution but now survives in only a few localities such as refugia.Kelsey Pugh, a Museum postdoctoral fellow and study co-author adds, "The unique and sometimes unexpected features and combinations of features observed among fossil apes, which often differ from those of living apes, are necessary to untangle which features hominins inherited from our ape ancestors and which are unique to our lineage.”hominin noun Zoology a primate of a taxonomic tribe (Hominini), which comprises those species regarded as human, directly ancestral to humans, or very closely related to humans: fossil footprints reveal the height of ancient hominins. Some consider the tribe Hominini to include only the general Homo and Australopithecus and their extinct relatives, thus making hominin equivalent to hominid (see hominid). Others define the tribe so as to include the chimpanzees, and sometimes also the gorillas.

"... the brain and nervous system must interpret environmental stimuli and send signals to the cells, which then integrate and regulate life-sustaining function of the body's organ systems to support survival in that perceived environment."pg. 31
"Through evolutionary advances, the brain's cellular population acquired the ability to remember millions of experienced perceptions and integrate them into a powerful database. Complex behavioral programs created from this database endow the organism with the characteristic traits of consciousness, a term we use in its most fundamental context to mean "the state of being awake and aware."pg.31
"Clearly, the nature of Nature is twofold - to simultaneously change while staying the same. So, what happens when we combine static patterns with dynamic evolution? Simply morph a circle, representing cyclical existence, with a vector, symbolizing directional progress, and voila: we end up with a universe-friendly spiral of evolution."pg.46
"... the study of evolution suggests that consciousness mechanisms evolved over time. Consequently, the character of consciousness would likely express itself as a gradient of awareness from less-conscious in primitive organism to the unique character of self-consciousnessmanifestin humans and other higher vertebrates ... a quality of being both a participant in life and an observer of life at the same time."Pg. 31
"Perceptions not only control behavior, they control gene activity as well. This revised version of science emphasizes the reality that we actively control our genetic expression moment by moment, throughout our lives."pg. 30
"In 2016, the study of ferroelectrics got more interesting with the discovery of polar vortices — essentially spiral-shaped groupings of atoms — within the structure of the material. Now a team of researchers led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has uncovered new insights into the behavior of these vortices, insights that may be the first step toward using them for fast, versatile data processing and storage."
“Although this new state of matter, a so called supercrystal, does not exist naturally, it can be created by illuminating carefully engineered thin layers of two distinct materials using light,” said Venkatraman Gopalan, professor of materials science and engineering and physics at Penn State."
LITTLE SWIRLING MYSTERIES: DYNAMICS OF ULTRA SMALL, ULTRAFAST GROUPS OF ATOMS DISCOVERED
“The distinction to be made between scientific and metaphysical approaches to knowledge has been in the discernment of information. Spiritual traditions have confronted this issue by evolving specific protocols of practice, of directing attention, of cultivating a stringent observer and witness, and of directing attention, of purifying the filters if attachment and desires and egotism that cloud the lens of perception.
In the Heartfulness tradition of meditative practices, all the teachers have proposed that the realm of most profound consciousness is known through feeling and this feeling connects with humanity. It is an unimaginable realm. We can only conceive it as a kind of enormous filigree network of intensity. It is at the most subtle level of our existence.”
What so many people seem to crave now are experiences of joy or beauty or exhilaration; the challenges of a quest, the thrill of a chase, or the feeling of triumph from overcoming a horde of opponents in computer games. Or a sense of belonging that might be fostered by far-flung communities accessible via a smart-phone or through deeper connections with our real-world neighbors.
Some people want to be taken out of themselves into fantastical virtual worlds where they can experience ‘life’ in a different kind of body, perhaps one that can teleport or fly. Others seek to be more mindful and present in the now, using psychological and mindfulness practices, often coupled with virtual tools, to try to ground their psyches and still their minds.
Both camps share a desire for engagement of the ‘self,’ that ineffable quality which feels so real yet has been so hard to account for within the framework of science so far.
In this way of seeing, Descartes’s ‘I’ – the human self – became a problem. At least for science. Not that anyone ceased to feel a sense of their own self – as if that were even possible. Rather, there was no way to talk about a self within the terms of science. Increasingly, proponents of science took to saying the self is an illusion, or even a delusion. A key component of this philosophical shift is that the in the age of physics, reality itself has come to be construed as the space of matter in motion. Now, if we want to claim something is real, we have to be able to pinpoint its co-ordinates in space and say “Ah it is here".
Awareness brings forward a “sense of consciousness” by fostering correspondences and fusing the concepts of meaning and purpose. Metaphysical in content and context, quantum, fractal and holographic in representation, all forms of energy/Life are revealed and made apparent by means of Design. Design is lovingly veiled in all that can be see3n, known, measured and/or felt (12.10.2022)
Design describes a metaphysical and multidimensional process. The design process is dependent upon knowledge, understanding, intention, intuition, imagination and awareness. Design creates a network of energy in motion (EIM) between fields/states/points/agents and patterns of awareness. Design creates a virtual, symbiotic and metaphoric lattice between consciousness, the subconscious and the unconscious, the tangible and the intangible, the known and the unknown, the seen and the unseen. All forms of energy in motion are based upon principles of meaning and purpose both felt and understood.(01.13.2023)
What is a designer?
Designers are men and women who are faithful to themselves and others, who creatively abide and amalgamate their skills and knowledge with love and integrity - the goal: personal, collective, global and soular balance and harmony. (09.01.2022)
To be design conscious you must be more than an observer.
"To believe is to accept another's truth.
To know is your own creation."
