This section discusses life and the human experience from a scientific perspective. It proposes that humans experience narrative structure that creates a sense of identity through the meaning-making process. The objective world and our subjective experiences interact to form narratives that are shared between people. Understanding life requires comprehending how structure, process, and pattern interact in our experiential world.
This lighting talk aims to explore, from an holistic point of view as opposed to the reductionist thinking, how the Lean Agile methodologies can be considered as part of the “turning point” in the crisis of Western reductionist way of thinking. Recent scientific discoveries indicate that all life – from the most primitive cells, up to human societies, corporations and nation-states, even the global economy – is organized along the same basic patterns and principles: those of the network. Both (Lean & Agile) offer a thinking tool set that allow us to create new models and different approaches. Hence, in this lighting talk I would like to affirm how tightly humans are connected with the fabric of life and make it clear that it is imperative to organize our world according to a different set of values and beliefs.

This work explores the nature of morality within Paul C Mocombe’s structurationist theory of
phenomenological structuralism. The author posits that morality or moral standards are associated with
the linguistic and ideological desires power and power positions of those who control the resources
and mode of production of a material resource framework via their language, ideology, ideological
apparatuses, and communicative discourse i.e., social class language game. Its moral practices and
statements constitute a part of the superverse/multiverse as phenomenal properties of subatomic
particles once disaggregated as lived experience. This does not mean that morality is universal; instead,
it is contingent upon the material resource framework and the evolutionary stage of consciousness
development as constituted in the framework.

The story begins with the escape of the apocalyptic reality, into the mind of a genius of the brush and stroke. Being an ambitious and busy mind after the Cézanne Drawing exhibition at the MoMA NYC I was compelled to apply acquired energy into compelling research. Although my mind was still in a noisy state I had a couple of thoughts on revisiting and reviving my old research from 2006/07. The main ambition was to make a significant imprint of earthshattering beauty into a collective conscience.
Traveling from New York to Mexico, I have decided to execute the project in a primordial beauty in the cultivated jungle paradise. Photographs were taken on the 8th of August 2021 at the exhibition at the MoMA NYC and projected on a couple of locations at Tulum, Mexico in October 2021. The event was also filmed with GoPro camera. It was therapy for me, as I am hoping the entire project can have a therapeutic influence on the bruised collective soul and mind.
Progressing the research expanded to comprehension of laws of the universe and into contextual landscaping, cognitive modeling, and intelligent environment(s). In a tête-à-tête with a universe, my input was Cézanne’s artwork and in return, I got answers in a form of puzzles, yet to be cracked.
The true power of the project is in unlocking the potential of the environment by relinquishing or letting go of the role of creator, producer, and viewer. I have sensitized the environment to be able to activate its self-producing force and intelligence. While in the first research I have created a system that is implosive by the nature, constantly generating systems without a recollection of the previous one; in this one, I have emptied the referent point/space to activate the environment yielding on the superposition property of the system to be able to unlock the essence, to reach the energy-momentum and tap into cosmic reason.
The idea is also to dip the research into the NFT art world to gain an extra perspective of art in blockchain technology and to test its reception on alternate realities.

REFLECTING THE MIND OF NATURE IN HINDU AND AMAZONIAN (TUKANO) MYTHOLOGYecoj journal
Mythmaking presents us with an idiosyncratic fusion of language and metaphysics so as to simply convey meaning as language does, and also communicate an entire metaphysics at a level of meaning beyond language and image. Claiming so, is to attest to the relevance of myths in the operationalization of ecological worldviews. In this paper, I will assume such an operational relationship between myths and ecological worldviews. First and foremost, our worldviews act as ‘first principles’ in establishing our interaction with our environment. At a time when anthropogenic ecocide presents a grave threat to the balance of life on earth, this fundamental notion is of great relevance. Specifically, this paper will study how myths mediated human interaction with nature in the past and continue to do so today. By comparing sets of myths of the Tukano Indians of the Amazon and Hindus of India, I will identify two functions of myth as mediator between man and nature.

The Age of Plenty and Leisure: Essays for a New Principle of Organization in ...Luke Barnesmoore o
This working collection of essays problematizes biocentrist conceptions of humanity and looks past the competitive, dominating mechanical evolution of humanity in the Age of Scarcity and Labor to examine the potential for conscious evolution in an Age of Plenty and Leisure. The collection interrogates issues of 'world view' along the interrelated axes of scarcity vs. plenty, labor vs. leisure, mechanical vs. conscious evolution, order as created in nature vs. order as implicit in nature, nature as a consumable other vs. nature as a part of self to commune with, and, more generally, a vision of human nature relations beyond the bio-materialist reductionism of the Modernist ‘world view’.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Life and human form
1. Chapter 3- Section 2-
Life And It's Human Form
This journey begins in the objectively verified world described by the most basic tenets
of science. I am taking science as my starting point since it has the widest and most
consistent foundation in observations of the world as we find it. It's broad
accomplishments are generally unassailable. Therefore, it is assumed that the physical
world that science has described is obviously self-evident.
The first assumption that informs a proper understanding of this world is that there are
three aspects to understanding phenomena: structure, process, and pattern. I am going to
be proposing that our human form is unique because we experience narrative structure
that manifests as a pattern of identity through the meaning making process.
A new concept of self is implied by this proposition in which experience is viewed as a
by-product of subtle forces that interact with reality rather than a direct apprehension of a
pre-existing reality. What we can share with each other of our experiences makes up the
narrative world.
Narrative is a universal human trait. As a practitioner of a discipline, a member of a
community, a student of a topic, or an expert in a subject, I am fundamentally a
participant in a shared narrative regarding the objective world that constitutes that
discipline, community, topic or subject. As an educator, on the other hand, I am not
primarily concerned with the objective world of the given narrative, but with the
subjective world of that narrative. My job is to help my students to create a subjective
experience that allows them to participate meaningfully in the narrative of whatever
2. topic, subject, community, or discipline I am sharing as a teacher. (Obviously, discerning
relevance requires participation in the narrative, therefore, an educator must have at least
minimal expertise and/or familairity with the appropriate narrative in order to do their
job.)
The objective world and the subjective narrative are interdependent within human
experience. The objective world outside of human experience is presumably indifferent to
the narrative world and conversely subjective narratives can be indifferent to the
objective world, as well. Despite the capability of divorcing our narratives from reality,
most of us, most of the time, are actively interacting with the objective world as we
generate narratives of our experience.
The river of life is the flow of experiences and those experiences all have commmon
aspects of structure, process, and pattern. Understanding the river of life means
understanding the interactions of the different aspects and ideally being able to create a
model of those interactions that can help us make accurate predictions regarding that
experiential world.
There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy,
Horatio.
William Shakespeare, Hamlet
There has arisen in this world a group of people who claim to know the world in all it's
diversity of forms. An extreme scientistic point of view claims to know the real world
and that existence beyond that world is an illusion. There is another group of people who
claim to have experienced the unity of all possible existence. An extreme spiritual point
of view claims knowledge of the reality of pure existence and that the world is an
illusion. These groups seem to be continuously in conflict and occaisonally vie for
control of important social institutions.
The river of life is the flow of experience. Everyone in the debate about what is real and
what is illusion have something of value to contribute, if for no other reason than they
have experienced a flow of events throughout their own lives. Given only a unity of
existence there is no reason to privilege one flow of experiences over another. The
challenge here is to have a unified method of describing that flow and it's characteristic
twists, turns, rapids and falls. With a unified method of description we could see where
each flow of experiences has gone and thereby determine the validity of each of their
claims relative to the other's claims (and any other flows of experience.) This would not
be a determination of any objective truth or falsity, but rather a relative determination of
why one claim is consistent with a particular type of flow of experiences which is invalid
from the perspective of a different flow of experiences.
The physical world is the completely uncontroversial world that the most basic sciences
describe and everyone can agree upon, although I am insisting that proper understanding
must integrate all three factors of structure, process, and pattern. I have relied on Fritjof
3. Capra's definition of life from his book The Web Of Life. I accept that the three factors
are obviously fundamental regardless of whether the precise definitions are exactly
correct. I also assume that they do not represent distinct and clearly differentiated aspects;
they are, in fact, aspects of an inseparable unity that are only distinguishable due to some
artifact of our abilities to observe, understand and then describe to each other our
observations and understandings.
The whirlpool is a non-living dissipative structure. Dissipative structures are a special
kind of structure that consists of a flow of material rather than a static unchanging mass
of material which we commonly think of when we discuss structure. The whirlpool is a
structure that is generated by the spontaneous interaction of liquid material that has
encountered certain conditions wherein the energy of a random flow becomes
spontaneously organized, and thus structured, to more efficiently dissipate the energy of
the flow. The system can be described as materially open, because the structure is entirely
dependent on the continuous movement of material through the system, unlike the
material machine system of say a bulldozer. The open system transforms energy, whereas
the closed system stores it. The material machine structure relies on a static, unchanging
set of material components. A living system is a particular kind of open system that
transforms the flow of not only material, but information, as well.
The fanciful picture of gears turning in a person's head is a metaphor for a complex
process that scientists now attribte to all living things. Cognition is the ability to
intelligently react and structurally adapt to changing conditions in order to preserve
existence. Even the most primitive single celled organisms have this ability which
entirely eludes all non-living things. The cognitive process involves interaction with the
environment in order to detect and subsequently act in response to conditions that
threaten the existence of the organism. The actions of living systems are not only
behvioral, but also structural. This is not the traditional idea of neurological brain activity
as cognition, but a broader concept that includes all intelligent behavior in response to
environmental condtions. For instance, even the amoeba, which has no nervous system is
able to react intelligently to changes in its environment, including making structural
changes.
The cognitive process guides the embodiment of the dissipative structure by way of the
autopoietic pattern. Life is defined by it's ability to participate in it's own creation. Just
like in the M.C. Escher drawing in which two hands seem to reach out from the page in
order to draw each other, living organisms play an important role in maintaining their
own continued existence.
