NEW!
RECENTLY ADDED PAGES AND CONTENT
(please send submissions to webmaster@global-dialog.org)Jan 29 2001
Cleaned up and added lots to the 'New Language' page, especially some very cool stuff on the interaction and language and thought, and some new research showing that theories claiming the language you speak *constrains* or structures thought, may be provably true.Jan 21 2001
Added a new section, called 'New Mythos' .. the idea behind this is that we are in the process of *creating* new myths for our time, and that we can all participate in this by recognizing what is being created and even what we might want to change or bring in to the picture. We're very open to *your* pieces and suggestions for other areas in which we are generating new myths.. in movies, the internet, anime, music - wherever you are seeing it...
The Wisdom section has had a lot of recent additions, including
Mahamudra by Herbert Guenther
Wu and You
Monumentally, Gloriously, Divinely Big Egos by Ken Wilber
Time and Space: East and West Sigmund Kvaloy
Crazy Mystics and Teachers
Warrior's Way: American
Warrior's Way: Asian
... we've been gathering mostly from Asian sources lately, but are *very* interested in incorporating a lot more Native American and other cultures' wisdom onto here pronto..The Personal Evolution section has gotten some attention lately, tho the overarching infrastructure of that page has not been introduced yet. But there's a great section on Metaprogramming , on The Eight-Circuit Model, on multiple approaches to personal change, whether spiritual, mental, emotional or evolution-driven.
You wouldn't believe how much stuff is already in the pipeline... and if you have useful writings on metaprogramming and/or personal or cultural transformation, let us know!
