Disoriented or Upset? Part 4, aka Some Humor About the Situation!


The previous three posts have been about the dynamic of disorientation and upset, and productive ways to respond to those feelings.

The big science news this week is a potential upset of models of the world once considered to be inviolate. It seems that some neutrinos (subatomic particles) may have been observed to travel faster than the speed of light. Here's a short video, with comments I really enjoyed, about this potential change in the way we understand the world: http://youtu.be/IiaIJx0j5nY

The whole idea behind collaboration with natural/physical/biological intelligence is that we don't live in a world that "behaves" and "acts" in certain ways... we live in a world that invites us to dance with the many other beings who inhabit it.


Everyone who's here (human and non-human) is evolving, learning, and growing. Everyone who's here has infinite potential, including the potential to travel at various speeds.

From my perspective, the "laws" of science are ultimately simply our best description of the current tendencies and habits of some of the other beings we're sharing space and time with. But those beings, like us, can change.

We will start realizing the full potential of our lives when a. we finally get that no matter what we think we're doing, we are actually part of the dance, not just watching the show, and b. when we develop a level of courtesy, respect, and skill that matches that of our countless would-be partners.

I promised some humor, and here it is... the lighter side of disorientation and upset!
