<p>"Edward Berge likes to question, challenge, and play implicitly and explicitly with words, ideas, and with the place of very root and abstract motivators in life, such as, I'll say, hope, faith, rationality, mystery, and the possibility of deep understanding and embracing of non-dual nature. He is <em>also known as</em> edwyrd burj and theurj, the latter being his pen name at the online forum Integral Postmetaphysical Spirituality, which is referenced on this Resources page. Here is his provocative and progressive-along-many lines <a rel="nofollow" href="http://integralpostmetaphysicalnonduality.blogspot.com/">blog</a>. Because his study, knowledge, and interest is broad, he could also be cited under several other titles on this page, for example, the above, <strong>Science and Philosophy of Mind</strong>."</p>

<p>I wonder what a culture would look like if it valued spiritual actors that understood religiosity profoundly while being non-attached to any of the narratives . They would be the mediators of the earth's cultures and life systems . Said spiritual actors today would have to delineate themselves completely from all the financial systems and live in commons monasteries ( without all the traditional moral pontificating ) but focus on how humanity can live peaceably within ecological limits . All people and traditions would be given fair and equal hearing . NO EXCEPTIONS !</p>

<p>Scott Preston posted this today on his blog, <a href="https://longsworde.wordpress.com/2015/11/21/jihad-vs-mcworld-in-the-current-of-the-demonic/#more-5636" target="_blank">The Chrysalis</a>:</p>
<p>"...<em>An End to Evil</em> (and Fukuyama’s “end of history”) was the neo-con screed by Perle and Frum to rationalise neo-imperialism and postmodern warfare. The jihadis think no differently in terms of globalisation and “McWorld”. All this is childish logic; a childish logic which has, nonetheless, become a fate for us all, and the danger here is that everyone will be drawn into the current of the demonic, which is the nihilistic, in the delusional belief that they are all doing the “good”. As Nietzsche also once put it, when one goes to fight monsters, one had best take care not to become the monster oneself.</p>
<p>The endgame of the dialectic of war and terror is only mutually assured self-destruction. In the name of “defending our values”, we will negate every one of them, and Islam itself will become void as much as “Christendom” was made void by Inquisition and Crusade. McWorld and Jihad are both headed towards mutual exhaustion of their values. Siege mentality, fortress mentality, the mass surveillance state, and the erection of all kinds of walls and fences, mental, political, and literal, will now become part of “the new normal”. It truly is a world in upheaval.</p>
<p>It’s beginning to look a lot like we’ve finally blundered into Orwell’s dystopian vision of the future in his <em>1984</em>. Barber’s book, though [Jihad vs. McWorld], makes excellent reading for those who want to understand the “double-movement” that Gebser also saw in the dynamics of the times. If you haven’t read it, it is probably a good time to consider doing so and to reflect on the meaning of it."</p> ROLMAO!tag:integralpostmetaphysics.ning.com,2015-11-21:5301756:Comment:630052015-11-21T18:23:53.560Zandrewhttp://integralpostmetaphysics.ning.com/profile/andrew

<p><span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption"><span class="hasCaption">WASHINGTON – In an intellectual property lawsuit filed in federal court on Friday, a group of prominent Nazis accused billionaire Donald Trump of “intentionally copying” key tenets of their political ideology for use in his recent stump speeches. Rinehart Krolz, the Delaware-based Nazi who organized the lawsuit, said specifically that Trump’s plan t<span class="text_exposed_show">o register Muslims and track their movements was so “derivative of our copyrighted material” that he and fellow Nazis felt compelled to file the suit. “As much as we Nazis may agree with a lot of things Donald Trump is saying, at the end of the day we have to protect our brand,” Krolz said.</span></span></span></p>
