Old is New 2


Survival of the fittest is passé.  

It is, if we aim to survive. 

Darwin’s theory was based on a contest among the species, each fighting their own kind in order to survive.

Epi-genetics, the new age biology, reveals colonization and cooperation promotes survival best.  

This is true at the molecular level all the way up the scale to the macro level.

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”   Matthew 12:25 (KJV)

My 10.30.10 post -Go to the ant!- spoke to this. That video illustrated the dynamics of the colony, how the group succeeds as a unit.


There's much to learn from the ant. 

There's even an "ant colony optimization" algorithm used in computer science!

Here's another video demonstrating the Leaf-Cutter ant as individual in the context of community. These young ants lose their ability to do their jobs as they age, but they take on new responsibilities that help the whole.

MY POINT?

Like it or not, we are connected like chain-link, but on a fifth dimension. 

We only diminish ourselves when we try to diminish others.

We do evolve. We can learn from the ancients a kind of simplicity that illuminates our present path of complexity, expanding exponentially. 

The answer is always LOVE!  It was long ago.  It still is today.

Happy New Year!

Bad Hair Decade

Dilemma... I can't find a decent hairdresser. I've sisters with luxurious locks... They're younger... My hair was never as thick, or as glorious as theirs. As a newborn, our brunette sis came home with dark curly ringlets all over her head. A year later, our blonde sis came home without any hair at all...so light she looked as though... By the time they were in school, I did a Toni permanent on myself. It was cute. A teenager has to have the right hair! Much older, on my own, I had expert help. Lucky me, in L.A., I went to Vidal Sassoon's. At home in the Midwest, I found a just-right beautician. Then I moved miles away. Before we parted, she wrote out the details of my cut and color. At the first salon in my new town, I presented my letter to the beautician ( for-a-day) who couldn't read. Yes... it grows back. Yes... I can go somewhere else, which I have, over , and over... That was a few years ago. I've been to upscale salons, and to walk-in o

Change - The Only Constant

  My letter to the world.. .    I love the message Playing For Change  promotes. This group is proactive in the universal language of music. They are creating change on a broad scale. I applaud them. Everything changes, whether we're ready or not. Everyone has noticed global climate change recently, right?  Gregg Braden explains how it has to do with normal cycles within the cosmos,  cycles thousands of years wide per a single wave. Everything is connected. It's all energy, therefore connected. There is scientific data revealing the influence of human emotion on those around us, and even the entire planet. Our bodies are made up of energetic frequencies. We have options on how to manage our energy, those vibrations, those flows. HeartMath  tells us how. Bruce Lipton, in his  Biology of Belief , has documented his cellular research proving the importance of our thoughts affecting survival, even our own DNA. It's all outside the Darwinian model. The s
