WE ALL BELONG TO THE GLOBAL BIOSPHERE : ALEXIS KARPOUZOS

We are all members of humanity, and we all belong to the global biosphere. We are members of oikos, the house of earth, which is the Greek root of the word ‘ecology’, and as such we should behave as the other members of the house behave – the plants, animals and microorganisms that form the vast network of relationships that we call the web of life. The outstanding characteristic of the biosphere is her inherent ability to sustain life. It behoves us, as members of the global community of living beings, to behave in such a way that we do not interfere with this inherent ability.

As members of the human community, we should behave in a way that reflects respect for human dignity and basic human rights. The awareness of being connected with all of Nature is particularly strong in ecology. Connectedness, relationship and interdependence are fundamental concepts of ecology; and connectedness, relationship and belonging are also the essence of religious experience. When we look at the world around us, we find that behind the chaos and randomness, a great order, a grand symphony of life. Every molecule in our bodies was once a part of previous bodies – living or non-living – and will be a part of future bodies. In this sense, our bodies will not die but will live on, again and again, because life lives on. Moreover, we share with the rest of the living world not only life’s molecules, but also its basic principles of organisation. Indeed, we belong to the universe, and this experience of belonging can make our lives profoundly meaningful.

Negative Has Its Positive Role to Play

We're all tired, but how tired are we? Have we drawn the line? Are we saying enough is enough?

We all want things to change, but how many are ready to change?

That is the problem. We have disempowered ourselves and rely on saviors that never seem to come. So why not do it ourselves? After all, someone will have to do. Why not all of us?

A quick look at the banking, pharmaceutical, media, and the military-industrial complex world shows how politics was created to enforce a corporate power centralization where a few get to pull the strings and reap the benefit. We cannot blame them? They not better and have been whispered sweet lullabies. In the end, we gave away our powers and voted the confident instead of the competent. Now, it is our turn to be brave.

As things are changing at great speeds it is time to check-in and not get carried away. It is so easy to trip when we get excited. The opportunity for change and being the change has tripped more than one human being. That is one of the many things the negative forces are looking to exploit.

Are negative forces evil? Maybe, but who cares. They do play a positive role. They push us to think, they push us to best ourselves, to take scope, to ask the hard questions. Without them, we would float without resistance. Mal-aise and dis-ease force us to stop and think.

Can you blame those living under the influences of these negatives forces? Not really. They see not the Universal mechanism.

We all need to be extra careful in these times of accelerated changes. It is easy to get caught up and make mistakes. That is the opportunity these negative forces will look to take and trip the big great change happening worldwide.

How Does Your Divinity Show Up In Times of Crisis?

Where does your divinity show up in times of crisis?

This is particularly important as we are the middle of such turmoil. We can act like savages or take the time to go within and connect with our higher nature. Although it's not easy at first, it only gets better the more we try.

It is difficult to focus on the Divine Spark in each human when we are witnessing what is happening in all our societies on this planet. Politicians have failed at being stewards of quality of life and every fabric of our society is feeling the tension. Much like the cosmic cobweb, we are part of, we feel tensions. I've noticed in myself and many around me mood swings, sadness out of nowhere, and more disturbing feelings. I take the time to stop, pause, and connect with myself. This is you have a moment where you are feeling this emotion. It helps me connect with this basic human act of feeling. I don't need to know why or what do to do with it but simply to feel the human experience of emotions. "This is you experience that emotion." has been one of my greatest tools maneuvering these uncertain times.

It helps to try to see the divinity in others and not judge it, accepting it as such. We've all been a pill at times and angles at other moments. Everyone suffers, everyone is feeling a great shift and there is much discomfort. The trick is to try to see the Divine Spark in each human without judgment, just seeing and anchoring that Love, Light, and peaceful feeling that ensues.

It's important to bring that spiritual balance in our lives at this moment. It will come in handy when the time comes for forward movement again.

Growing Up

A society is a strange and fascinating entity. It is as alive as its occupants.

Along the lifespan of human beings, we begin as children well-adapted to voicing what we don't like. We instinctively know what we don't like and voice it loudly. But we don't always know what we want. We might be aware of what we like, but not necessarily what we want or need.

Growing up means interaction with adults and with those who have more experience. This is a crucial step to adulthood as we transition from childhood to the rough teenage years. The process from child to teenager is difficult and happens with adults coaching the child.

"I know you don't like that but what do you want?" This is a crucial question that helps a child dig deeper inside to find out what would be the solution to their predicament. Although we can't nor should negative events, that question leads to a personal quest leading to maturity.

Teenagers figure out what they don't like and what they like but still struggle with what they want. This is where our collective societies seem to be stuck. Somewhere along the lines of a transition from childhood: "We don't like that!" to adulthood: "We want this." The teenager is stuck in a: "I don't like that!" followed by kneejerk reactions. Teenagers jump to conclusions, don't dig deep enough, and reach for the low hanging fruits. It's a pretty dangerous situation and can be extremely volatile. They simply do not grasp the bigger picture. They cannot put the problems in perspective and isolate them.

It is sad to see that there is little talk about what led to our current situation. Racism is a problem, but it didn't evolve in a vacuum. It has its reasons and as long as we do not get to the root of it, we are agitated without results in sight. The aggravation builds after decades of many politicians "vowing" to right the wrongs without results.

Did You Know Human Performance Specialists Existed? Do You Know What It Means?

What's a Human Performance Specialist? How about human factors consultant or a human factors practitioner?

Have you ever felt your heart pick up the pace, your mind race, your soul and body moved as you learn something new? How about when your "spidey" senses tell you this is big?

That's how it felt when I read Dr. Klein wrote on Psychology Today: A New Term: Human Performance Specialists. He writes: "According to the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society website, it is a scientific discipline trying to understand how people interact with other elements of a system. It tries to create designs that optimize human well-being and overall system performance. Got it? That’s one of the official definitions, and frankly, it doesn’t seem particularly clear or compelling."

Except, it's clear to me.

Who thought of a door-knob when a door handle works better? You can use a foot, hip, or elbow to open a door handle when your hands are full, not a knob. He writes, how about when you "pull a door that needs to be pushed?" Or "... spend way too long trying to navigate a confusing website" I still don't understand why websites are so convoluted or why computer desktops are rectangular when my mind is round and organizes data in pie charts.

According to Dr. Klein, this discipline focuses on making things usable for people. The article is about how the professional title means little to most people. How about Coaching? A Coach is not someone who asks you to drop and do 30 pushups. A true coach is someone who raises your level of awareness. A Coach asks you questions so that you understand what it is you want to understand. But try explaining that to people. It is not easy.
