conscious of evolution as it evolves. ???

Hello All -- Have been travelling and opening space.  In catching up on
emails saw this thread and thought I'd jump in!
In metaphysical terms,  since each of us IS a non-physical, vibrational
be-ing, existing in a non-physical,
vibrational realm, and since all we can ever experience really IS our own
vibration, then each of the six billion of us is standing on a planet OF OUR
OWN
CREATION.  There are, then six billion planets, in the space seemingly
occupied by one.
 "Co-creation" refers to the condition that all of our individual
vibrational 'translations" are so closely in agreement that we could,
for example, transport an Eskimo from the Arctic to an equatorial jungle,
and she would be able to discern that she was on the same planet, but in a
different place.

Our human experience is filled with examples of co-creation, which is simply
a very closed aligning of our vibrational patterns with the
vibrational patterns of other be-ings.  Another way of saying it is that my
vibrational pattern - which I am creating and experiencing individually
is so closely aligned with your vibrational pattern - which you are creating
and vibrating individually - that we can exchange thoughts by
means of this website.

 In the same way, anyone who reads our posts in this digest has a
vibrational pattern - which they are creating and experiencing
individually - that is also closely aligned with your vibrational pattern,
and mine.  Even the fact that you and I are aware of each other's existence
is a
demonstration of co-creating.  Our vibrations, to a great extent, coincide.
      The condition that each of us can only experience our own vibration
places NO limits upon our ability to co-create.  All we have to do is
align our vibrations.  When we do that, we share an experience.  Yet, for
neither of us is that experience exactly identical.  I have my experience of
that sharing, and you have yours.

There are six billion PERCEPTIONS that there is a planet, each of which is
experienced by its creator as real.  Nor is there a "place" where that
planet "is", nor an "orbit", nor a central "star", nor a "solar system", nor
a "universe", nor any"thing" else.  In the non-physical realm in
which we exist, "place" has no relevance.  "Location" is a concept
formulated to explain physical experience, and we ain't physical.  Never
have been.
Never will be.

Metaphysics is the study of the "mechanics" of beingness - of existence,
itself.  Metaphysics is about traveling to the emerald city
of Oz, pulling the curtain back, and very carefully watching the wizard pull
the levers and turn the wheels that make EVERYTHING happen.  Metaphysics
is about bringing us to the realization that we ARE the wizard, and that the
hands working the machinery belong to US.  Metaphysics is about owning
who and what we are, and taking active responsibility for the, literally,
limitless power at our command.

Someone once asked Albert Einstein how he had figured out his Theory of
Relativity.  He replied that he hadn't "figured it out", at all.  He
said, "I leaned against the Universe, and I felt it move".  I invite you,
and anyone else who cares to make the journey, to drop what you think
you know about how life works, and come ALL the way out on the leading edge,
and allow yourself to feel the Universe move, for you.

The reality of the physical world is our experience........... seems to me
all that we have is space!  <grin>

Wishing you all a stunningly wonderful "experience" today!!

Judi

As usual OSLIST and it's denizens seems to be going where angels fear to
tread. Some may feel that we are wandering off into the realm of idle
philosophical speculation, and I guess that is true to a point. I also think
that this present discussion lies at the heart of what we do/don't do in
Open Space.

Funda said, "is evolution possible without consciousness??" And I might
ask -- are we talking about the evolution of consciousness? Or the
consciousness of evolution? Or both? And not too far down the road we come
to one of the great divides in World Thinking. There are those, largely in
the "Scientific" West who prefer to think that matter is primary, and that
over time it manifests consciousness (becomes conscious). Roughly put, we
all start out as bodies (matter), then develop mental capacities, and
finally (for most of us) evolve the capacity to be conscious of our selves
as thinking bodies -- and then maybe even become conscious of our
consciousness. Much of the rest of the world looks at the same data
(progression) and comes to a radically different conclusion. Their story is
that  Consciousness is primary and that over time It appears (manifests) in
progressively more complex and elegant expressions. From where I sit, this
is truly a case of "pay your money and take your choice." I can't imagine
how you would "prove" either one, and we actually have a case of  a priori
assumptions. And the real issue is which story makes the most sense and is
most functional in terms of what you (whoever you are) want to do. The
Western Story is and has been a powerful one, forming the basis of the
Western Scientific enterprise. And obviously that enterprise has been
rewarding, albeit with certain limitations (We have created an industrial
society which is about ready to pollute us to death). With this story we
find ourselves confronting such wonderful questions as the "Biological
(molecular) basis of Consciousness." The alternate story -- that
Consciousness is primary -- takes one to rather different places.
Consciousness
IS -- and over time becomes manifest in quarks, atoms, molecules,
quasars -- and you and me. According to this story, when we perceive
ourselves
as conscious (or Consciousness) we are not doing/creating anything new -- we
are simply recognizing our selves as we have always been and truly are. The
Buddhists would say -- We see our original face. And the journey of life and
evolution is the journey to (the recognition of) our authentic selves. Some
of us move more quickly down this road and we call them mystics or saints.
Most of the rest of us take our own sweet time. Anyhow . . .

What on earth does this have to do with Open Space, the application of Open
Space, our role in Open Space, the place and relationship of Open Space to
current organizations?????

The answer(s), I think, begins with yet another question. What happens when
space opens? Is it the case that we are doing something novel and strange --
or rather that we have created some appropriate conditions such that what
was already present becomes visable. In short we are not "learning something
new"  but rather remembering what we already knew -- but forgot? Personally,
I find the "remembering" story to be the most compelling, or how else to
explain the common experience of working with a group of folks who have had
no training in esoteric skills, conflict resolution, group process -- and
yet in basically 15 minites flat most are behaving as if being in Open Space
was the most natural thing in the world? Maybe it is? They just remember
what they had forgotten. Rather like riding a bicycle -- once you have done
it you can never really forget.

Our role in this situation becomes rather clear, and our anxiety level
should go down. There is little to teach and less to worry about. The folks
are already there, they only have to be reminded. Gently.

And do you have to be a Buddhist? Probably not, but it could help.

Harrison
