IF MAN IS A WOLF TO MAN, WHO THEN ARE THE SHEEP?

Somewhere around 1976 the biologist Richard Dawkins coined the term "meme" as "a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation," according to his works on socially transmitted ideas or genes. He gave us interesting examples such as tunes, catch-phrases, beliefs, clothes fashions, ways of making pots, or of building arches, etc, and in this we might add destructive behavior modes.

Memes were theoretically seen as culturally transferred behavior patterns that propagate or transmit social traits without a great deal of loss, supposedly to insure their replication and success. Susan Blackmore has even presented a theory in her book The Meme Machine (1999)that may replace the idea of an intuitive-naturalistic theory of mind. What is even more scarier about these ideas is the belief that holons, the basic units behind them may be impermeable to change, because it may be "quantized" at some unredeemable level of organization.

What drew me to study the implications of this theory of the transference and replication of group memories intra-socially through memes, was the far-reaching significance of its transmission, and hypothetically, potential disastrous consequences; i.e., how can we rid ourselves of a genetic program that is self-destructive, such as human exploitation of each other and the tendency toward irresponsible greediness?

The question that arises, have we manufactured a cultural gene, (like a robot system that takes over the world) that has gone on automatic pilot and is now bent on destroying its creator? In my blog, Why Humans? I intentionally probed at the possibility that humans may represent a genetic program that has gotten out of sync with the planetary holon, and has become a detriment to its integrity, acting like an antagonistic virus, if you will, and turning against its host. Now its behavior suggests it may need to be irradicated, less it destroys all life in its steroidal-hormonal-like growth surge.

Because of this situation, it is now imperative that we address two elements directly,

a) At what point does a meme grow stronger than its host, like a cancerous virus, and begin to overwhelm its environment? b) Can negative ramifications of this greed meme be dissolved?

To successfully conduct such integral, intra-social and psychological changes seems nearly impossible, though I do think it can be done, but we must begin mid-cycle in the replication cycle; i.e., within our sense of sharing freedom and responsibility.

The consequences of failing to administer these changes renders us victums of a criminal co-conspiracy,and unwitting proponents in the replication of a destructive, survivalist-oriented economic system. This kind of laisez-faire system transmits a social irresponsibility message that says it is okay to stand by and let evil be done in our country and abroad without taking responsible personal action to resist!

It is upon this meme of 'social irresponsibility' that we must now direct our concerted psychic laser and hopefully, alter the defective progamming before it is too late. We must stop the errant virus of selfishness and greed before it becomes too powerful.

And so I appeal to you, let us join as ONE holon of higher consciousness to visualize the end of this socially undesirable "cut-throat" economics that exploit everyone for the almighty dollar.

We created this illusory 'play-money game,' and we can dismantle it.

Many blessings!

SOCIAL IMPERATIVE

Will your Self

To see life changed

Take the plunge

Get rearranged

Crack the egg

Of systems past

Shift the mind

And make it last--

Walk the talk

And live the way

You are the answer

To change today.

WHEN GOD THINKS, HOLON/PHONONS ARE BORN

Thought is at the nucleus of all creation, big and small,whole and part. In fact, original thought created the holoverse. And it is this originating first thoughts of the Creator that produces the Whole and its myriad separate parts. The Parts, as we encounter them, are simply different levels or dimensions of first creation, in the relative scheme of thing. The truth is, neither Wholes nor Parts exist by themselves, but are reflective of the perceptual limitations of our mortal sensory apparatus, and when viewed from the point of the Creator, linear time doesn't actually exist either; its illusory nature is only due to our relative apperception of the Whole we percieve of wave-like stages in the parts that meet the sensory eye.

In the wholistic scheme of things, when the Creator thinks, billions of galaxies are born. From these originating thoughts mega-systems of universes, are spewn forth linked together through a common holistic bond. The galaxies are the nuclei of these original thought forms seen emanating from visions within the Creator's mind.

There are two specific parts to this Wholistic Pattern of Creation, as I perceive it; let us start with the first:

1) A pattern of Wholeness guides Creation, let us call it a holon. A holon is an innate unified pattern of Whole/Parts, according to its discoverer, the well known spiritual philospher of our time, Ken Wilber. He states that there are no Wholes or Parts, only holons, "Wholes within Wholes." This concept is based on a view of reality as a process of becoming that follows a common pattern from which all things evolve, while maintaining an integral holistic link; something like the process of autopoeisis, i.e. a self-replicating or organizing principle that connects the Whole to each Part without compromising the integrity. Let us think of it as a continuous or connective unit of wholeness within every part. This continuous connectivity is a Wholistic Binding Principle behind the ongoing creation of Maya.

The second part of this principle I shall describe as a phonon or Sound Bite. A phonon, according to quantum scientists, occurs when temperature approaches absolute zero, and sound behaves like quantum particles. At this point sound becomes a "bite" or a congealed, vibratory frequency unit. At this point sound has materialized as a physical mass. A phonon could be simply described as a thought form, or a "sound bite" projected from the mind of the Creator. To become a material object in the Maya of physicality, it must go through a vibratory focus change to assume relative mass as an object.

In the light of these two definitions, we now arrive at a the combination of holons and phonons as holon/phonons, which translates to a self-replicating pattern created from the mind of the Creator. Now comes the reduction of this concept to its personally relative essentials; bare in mind that the creation of thought forms is going on all the time within our deepest Self. We are holon/phonons of the Creator, i.e., we create our reality in the same manner as the Original Creator.

A question comes to mind, what are you doing with your creative energy today? Are you creating a Holoverse that is aware of itself, or are you diverting your creative energies into a dissipative chaos?

Looked at from a positive perspective, a holon/phonon is tetrahedronal in nature, that is, it radiates positive energy outward from its nucleus, but if it is focused inwardly, like a black hole, its radiation of light only survives as a meagre virtual particle; and thus its light only radiates at best in half light.

Take full charge of your creation holon/phonon, and let your Godly light shine out!
