Somatic Business Podcast – Convo with Daniel Dick on Consciousness, Possibility Space vs. Action

🔸 Balance Between Possibility and Action: We explored the necessity of creating a balance between open space for possibilities and concentrated space to act in pursuit of our goals. Finding the sweet spot between flexibility and structure is crucial for success in both entrepreneurship and activism.

🔸 Strategic Planning and Scenario Setting: Daniel emphasized the shift from being a dreamer to becoming strategic and putting plans into time and space. Setting anchor points or milestones in a calendar can make goals more tangible and achievable. Strategic planning helps in preparing for the worst while staying open to better outcomes.

🔸 Barbell Strategy in Business: The concept of playing Kronos (linear time) and Kairos (when things come together in time and place) in business strategies was discussed. We highlighted the need to strike a balance between stable, reliable efforts and high-risk, high-reward ventures – the “barbell strategy”.

Tree of Life – Kautzen 2023, Reflections on Self-empowerment

I have been part of the Healing Area “Achor Glade” of the Tree of Life Festival, wonderfully organized by Daniela Fuchs from Lichtanker.at and contributed together with my beloved Partner 2 Workshops on Self-Empowerment: The Partnership- Empowerment and the Community-Empowerment.

I know this tiny Hippie-Festival for many years, and I am very thankful for all connections and opportunities this festival gave to me…. yes, there is a “but” coming: But, like announced in the title of this year, it is a “Goodbye”. Time are changing and so has every age a different role. I wish this festival can give space to the next generations and everybody finds a new position in the wheel of life. Thank you Kautzen, Stephan and all the Stein-family for the tree of life of the last 25 years.

Homage to the indigenous people of the Sierra Nevada (Colombia)

I have been 4 weeks with Mamo Lorenzo Izquierdo in Sasaima and the Sierra Nevada doing retreat, fasting and learning how to make offerings to mother earth and how to purify my ancestral lineage.


The most important time that shape our life is the time of the conception, the time in the womb of the mother and the birth itself. Everything that happens during these time has a major effect on the path of our life, but there are techniques to purify these first moments of our life.


Some weeks later I could attend to a Kiwa of raices de la tierra Colombia in San Agustin visited by elder and spiritual authorities from Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and many other countries.
It has been incredible to see the power of a spiritual elder such as Berrito, who is fighting against multinational oil industries to preserve the health of his mother, as he says, mother nature.



I am just thankful for this experience for his work and his lovely family. 🙏🙏🙏🇨🇴💚💚💚

Don´t wait till it hurts.

Sometimes live is hard, especially when world situation does not comfort at all. Maybe you have troubles with your job, and then you might get ill and nobody can tell you want is the root of your illness.

Pain, first of all is never found in the body. It is an emotion and usually doctors sum it up as stress, when they accept a relation between mind and body. The eastern traditions acknowledge for millenia energy as a medium between the mind and the body.

When you get stressed, we tend to think to much, we tend to have negative emotions. All of that is a higher amount of energy that always calls you out to transform and to change.

If that energy is not put on track, it gets stuck where ever you are stuck. To much energy stuck creates heat. First, you might have difficulties to relax, and you might drink more alcohol or search for other comfort zone. Then you might have difficulties to sleep and according to the position and topic you are stuck get inflammations, which means bacteria are overcoming your immun system. If that continues without getting calmness and a new direction in life, it ends with an illness, which will force you to stop and to reexamine your life.

Energy has to flow, without resistance and free from holding on to it. Some people termed beautifully the saying: Let it go! And you will have freedom.

It is discomforting to change, but the sooner you change with the flow, the less life is going to call you out brutally.

In Germany we say, if you don´t listen, you will have to feel it.

So, don´t wait till it hurts, when life wants you the change.

Listen. And the best way to listen is to find calmness for youself.

All the best,

Daniel

Business as usual is over. We will never go back to our “normal” crises – #Whatif 2030 looks like that:

We will never go back to “normal”, so, #whatif we have a drastic change.

#Whatif you are in 2030:
The basic income became a necessity to fulfill the basic needs, like food and housing after the pandemic crises and its economic consequences. This basic income is not to accumulate currencies, but to keep a balance of not too much and not too less (thanks to Vincente for that idea). The balance of the current-sees (thanks to CoGov.com for that model) is registered like a fractal in every computer in a distributed network running on blockchain technology.

Locally based agriculture has been the first to became self-organized without any intermediate businesses or merchants. The self-responsibility and self-organization of the registration of the goods on blockchain allowed also to find recycling pathways which first was done in small circle of permaculture and soft skills and later in globally interacting circular economy flows.

Every exchangeable good, physical product, soft skills, artwork and service is registered and matched according to searches and needs on a modular set of self-organized individuals and groups. Each module can a product, a song or a concert for example. Everybody has a set of modules, like a portfolio, which can be easily link to a group-module. The content of the interchangeable modules is not anymore centralized in websites, universities or companies, but distributed in such digitally or locally places. Most websites operate like a smartphone in which modules can have a digital place, like an app on a smartphone.

Daily and cultural practices to get out of the egocentric and competitive behavioral patterns towards a compassioned, community-based behavior are found in new jobs especially in the areas of healing, art and education.

There are different kinds of current-sees according to qualities. Some current-sees are set every day on zero. The exchange is based on your time and activity of where you are and what are you using or doing, which can be something individually like cleaning a place, caring about children or taking part in three groups in one day dedicated to a common purpose like developing hardware for computers. Basically, everybody is self-employed and self-responsible. That means everybody is his or her own bank, shop, company, service provider and has always the freedom to interact in different groups.  Some other current-sees are on a default-mode according to responsibility taken by individuals or taken by a group for a certain time. Groups also have the goal to reach a balance as a group instead of a continuous growth. Random-acts-of-kindness is a non-binary exchangeable current-see, which can be just given.

It is also possible to solve conflicts and conceive consensus by percentage or by 100 % with the own creations of inner truth meanings linked to their references (thanks to Formwelt.info). Within a group (of 3-8 people) the experience and the decisions of the group allow resolutions and agreements for actions, representatives, newcomers and forks, which are transparently archived in the distributed digital network. Some agreements and resolutions are between groups to define shared responsibilities for larger communities in bigger timeframes. These processes are paralleled with covering basic needs of food and living on the most efficient and ecological sustainable way.

A new worldview and paradigm are implemented to develop healthy boundaries, emotions and skills of operating with a free consciousness which is not anymore recreating an ego in a purely materialistic world. The mimicry of nature´s creation, and the development of emotional, and communicational maturity and intuition allow different forms of interaction in which place and time are less relevant. New ways of friendships, intimate and other relationships are changed because of truly sharing degrees of one consciousness. This happened due to a complete mind shift from the “I” to a compassioned behavior in which there is no “I in TEAM”. This extensive development of emotions and feeling, transparency and trust  involve cultural techniques of self- and shadow exploration. Peace-making skills and collaboration are on an agreement of a worldwide network of groups. Learning is not anymore, a classroom in a school, but mentorship program which allows you to discover and learn from any group and record in your skills as a set of modules.

A lot of other ideas have been developed which only took place in thriving collaborations, meaningful conversations and mutual learning with truly free and compassioned actions, which had a bust in year 2020.

Back to our present to look back in history to see why collaboration and the technologies and especially the internet possibilities can make this happen:

Civilizations can hold together if communication channels and exchange of goods take place in a sustainable ecological environment. Usually a drastic change happened in the growth of civilizations when recourses per capital became scare. A war would rearrange status and power to let the oppressed work harder to get more energy out of the land. Technology would facilitate the energy that a civilization has to bring up to feed everyone. Only very few exceptions in the rise of civilizations were able to establish a new order without a war, but with collaboration and exchange of goods. About their communicational behavior we don´t have enough archeological record.

The more vertical a system is, the less communication it needs to keep a common purpose. The less communication a system has the more oppression takes place. In other words: The better the possibilities of communication the more egalitarian a society can be. For hunter and gatherer societies, known to be egalitarian, it is very easy to maintain this way of societal structure because the number of group members interacting are between 8-30 people and they live with almost no environmental circumscription. So, if someone bothers someone in a society like this, you can just leave. But if the density of the population gives you no place to go, you get a problem if you don´t find an understanding and a collaboration.

Therefore, I believe we definitely need a massive shift, hopefully without a World War III. With it or not, if we want to make this jump towards a unified planet caring about our next generations, and we must find more efficient ways to produce energy and consume less, which helps the Earth to recover. We will have a unified world if we use our technologies wisely and collaborate starting from a free spirit and compassioned soul. The area of information is young and has still a lot of potential but only if we as human evolve internally and expand our responsibility to care locally about the next person to you.

If we don´t growth as compassioned being and move out of grieve and accumulation of profit we won´t go anywhere with good technologies.

Imagine your #Whatif and share it with the tag.

Be your Extraordinary Future and the Fittest along with your Past

After reading these sentences you will know when to be the fittest and when to be extraordiary.

To be adaptive and “to fit” has been the major skill for survival —  according to science.

Why? Science is able to trace history back, but doesn´t create future. Even all prognostics are based on past events.  The same sequence of self-inherent logic is applied to artificial intelligence, where a optimization of “fitting” products are aligned with the algorhythm, which “learns” from past events.

The extraordinary is a possible attractor for the future. We find the extraordinary in art and in human science because the spirit inspired humans. When time pass by, the fittest extraordinary becomes normal, but usually the extraordinary ideas and works accomplished by people don´t receive a lot of their success.

The actualization of the extraordinary is the creation of the possibility. Do you see the possibility? Can you create with your imagination a future vision? Create the extraordinary, that is the unique to YOU!

In terms of consciousness every past, present and future are part of your present. When we balance our unique future without comparison to others and without behavioral patterns, which hold on the past, but embrace the past as a meaningful sequence towards your present, then you are aware of your freedom of choice.

Do you see a destiny made cohesive by the integrative aspect of past, present and future? Or are you the creator of your present by knowing, it is you, who create your future?

Be extraordinary for your future, and be the fittest with your own past path.

Your fittest version of your collected sequences of the past are a cohesive and meaninful alignment with your present. Have compassion with whatever happend to you. By doing that you will find peace withyourself and create your unique and extraordinary future.

 

 

Why I decided to go from thought to action

Over the course of my last 2 years I could experience through my position at the Existential Consciousnss Institute a vast spectrum of leading edge science, which would expand my horizons in every direction. I really appreciated to be able to visit and speak in so many conferences and organize a lot scientific events. Meanwhile I was preparing myself for a PhD. Actually, I had written in these 2-3 years seven different PhD proposals. Some because I thought, the professors would allow it and others because I had changed my mind, the answers had come faster than writing them down, and new questions directed my curiosity. At a point I got saturated by so much information and the scientific narrow windows of collective and perpetual self-reaffirming processes.

I had been in the realms of consciousness, anthropology and system science, which are already out-of-the box-disciplines, which cause some trouble for a classical Newtonian Worldview. I always found myself with porfessionals, that would be either retired or would fear their reputation for not speaking out their whole truth. And science is all about citations and reputation. I decided to leave the academic realm.. not forever, but my main focus shifted. I feel supported by science for what I aim for and the way to look into the world. Being involved in so much information I felt to relate my knowledge into practice. The wish to help people in a more fundamental way evolved to the oppurtinity to create a community center for healing and culture in Germany, Ebermannstadt, a tiny cute little village. More will be announced soon.

Quantum Physics, Religion and Philosophy – Are we entangled?

Many people believe that quantum physics is ushering in a new age.  A new paradigm describes science for its field.

Renowned quantum researchers like Zeilinger are faced with many questions before their experiments and almost all of them agree that information is a fundamental quantity in the universe, maybe even more fundamental than matter, space or time at least in physics.

Thus, quantum physics now establishes the connection to consciousness and its exploration, since it is now somehow connected.

It is often assumed that everything is information. This means partly, in a scientific way of thinking, that everything only exists if we are aware of it or if it has been measured. Some go so far as to say that only consciousness exists.

Philosophers, who have been asking themselves for quite some time what are actually the preconditions of our knowledge, speak out again: Is thinking fundamental? Is it feeling first? Can we actually say something about what is true, and does it have anything to do with ourselves?

The spiritual and religious directions of our time, as well as some traditional religions usually have some statements in common: We are basically one. And, our way of life is shaped by our attitude towards the world. The more positive you are, the more positive something comes to you. Consequently, the entanglement of particles of quantum mechanics is used to explain that information is important; not only information itself, but also what kind of information. We are connected to each other and it doesn’t matter where you are, because the entanglement of the particles is not bound to a place, not even to a time.

Thus, the physicists walk over to the religious views. The spiritual and religious practitioners see themselves confirmed and the philosophers learn physics.

Basically, it doesn’t sound bad, but why do we experience each other separately? Why doesn’t the stone we throw through the air fly according to our intentional will? Do we only have to believe it more firmly? Do we only come to the conscious experience of quantum physics in an enlightened stage?

And can world peace and the ecological crisis be overcome with it? So far not.

We have several possibilities: Physicists can ignore quantum physics, or be content to admit that it is in contradiction to anything believed so far. Or, they have to deal with it in detail. This is not easy, at least experimentally and mathematically. Theoretically, it is less expensive but not easy either, because a new framework is needed to think about all this.

Spiritual and religious people can ask themselves to what extent everything is connected or not and how they can really make use of quantum physics.

And the philosophers could climb over the imagined fence of the disciplines to the physicists once more often and give them some advice for new questions.

The question of whether quantum physics can change the world remains unsolved, but it offers a new world view, a new way of understanding some principles of reality that makes a new world possible. How we have to understand this, is now up to the observer. But the stone still flies like never before.

FORMWELT and its endless possibilities

Today I met Gitta and Ralf Peyn togehter with philosopher Johannes Heinrichs in the middle of nowhere, in Lüchow, Germany. I learned to know the key concepts of a new coding language that must be programmed. The infinite possibilities of learning about oneself, about understanding and translating different fields of inquiry as well as operate and modulate any kind of language, mathematics, forms, sounds in its depths and widths are just amazing. I am willing to support their work.

Ralph Peyn, Gitta Peyn, Johannes Heinrichs, and Daniel Dick.

They can actually make use of any help, from donations to investors, from interest to collaborations. Find out more here about FORMWELT about Downloads on their eBook and other information and Gitta Peyns Blog . I hope to be able to invite them soon to the BCSSS in Vienna and find collaborators to go for a common project, which enables them a launch of a first version of a first online application.

Observing Existential Consciousness

Existential consciousness is from its philosophical standpoint first a reminder, that any kind of consciousness has its premise in the direct experience of the “Here and Now” and second, a perspective of the immanence of even transcendental philosophy in the way it exists in the world. Read more…

Meeting Cadell Last in the BCSSS

Cadell Last at his lecture at BCSSS, Vienna 25th of Sep. 2018

It was a great pleasure to meet Cadell Last and enjoying time together in the Vienna, while having good conversation on the notion of what is meant by “being here”.

I also learned some new words and thoughts like teleiosis, transconsciousness and the uncoded wall of evolution. I am looking forward to the next steps.
