I would like to submit my most recent article on 'The Matrix' called "How Neo’s Character Arc Reveals The Matrix Superpower System."
Mikhail Skoptsov analyzes how the picture's narrative rationalizes superhuman powers as the products of self-belief inside The Matrix, illustrating this concept though the emotional journey of its main protagonist from a skeptic to a believer:
In his project to read and comment upon the 850-odd works and authors of the Western canon as enumerated by Harold Bloom, Joe Steakley discusses King David's detached, almost relativistic morality, and Bible's first hints of a dualistic soteriology, in the the Second Book of Samuel otherwise called, The Second Book of the Kings chapters 15-24.
Suzanne Taylor, in her Evolution Revolution, where she looks to what we-the-people can do to help this hurting world, posted "A digestible 'Green Dragon.' Oh joy!," to introduce readers to "The Universe is a Green Dragon," a book she's bought more than 2,000 copies of, where physicist Brian Swimme turned mystic to teach what we most need to learn, which is that we are interlinked as one humanity, here to help the earth and not to destroy it.
"Break out of egocentricity. Break out of ethnocentricity. Break out of anthropocentricity." is 100% THE message the world needs right now. Thank you, Suzanne, and thanks to Brian Swimme.
Suzanne ... you sent me down the rabbit hole ... thank you very much. Since the Green Dragon wasn't available on Kindle, I settled for Swimme's Cosmogenesis ... I'm not sure the door that is opening will every shut again. Not sure I can buy 2000 copies but I'm definitely going to subscribe to your stack. Thanks again.
Cosmogenesis is the bookend to Green Dragon, where he parallels what was going on in his life that got him writing Green Dragon, and it, too, is absolutely wonderful -- as is the author, whom I've gotten to know and who may be the most wonderful man in the world that I can see him going down in history as a gamechanger!
No group about Brian but there is a monthly Zoom where he sometimes is the speaker and it's all about the body of work that he works with: https://cscommunities.org ... Global KInship, Exploring the Emerging Noosphere, is sponsored by Creation Spirituality Communities and meets every first Thursday of the month at 1 p.m. PDT,
A real story of the worst possible offense, deliberate and repeated torture, that required decades and determination to find a deep and almost incomprehensible level of forgiveness … what can only be called “extreme forgiveness.”
