mainstreaming of the mavericks –

The social entrepreneurship movement has come of age, writes Charles Leadbeater. What now?

” fed by an eclectic mix of church groups, venture capitalists, philanthropists, former political activists, community businesses and the rise of corporate social responsibility ”

” The best estimates suggest that globally this ‘third sector’ employs around 40 million people, with 200 million volunteers. “

excerpt : Erich Fromm – love as interpersonal creative capacity

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Fromm

Fromm considered love to be an interpersonal creative capacity rather than an emotion, and he distinguished this creative capacity from what he considered to be various forms of narcissistic neuroses and sado-masochistic tendencies that are commonly held out as proof of “true love.

Erich Fromm postulated five basic needs:

  1. Relatedness – relationships with others, care, respect, knowledge;
  2. Transcendence – creativity, develop a loving and interesting life;
  3. Rootedness – feeling of belonging;
  4. Sense of Identity – see ourselves as a unique person and part of a social group.
  5. A frame of orientation – the need to understand the world and our place in it.

progressive ego death – tantra with the world through permanent nomadic hitch hiker experience

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_death

It is characterized by the perceived loss of boundaries between the self encased in skin and possessing a physical body and environment as a whole, a sense of loss of control, and the loss of the accustomed feeling of existing as a personal agent.

http://www.egodeath.com/egodeath.htm

These perceptions of feelings of the cancellation of the ego as a controller are integrated with the feeling of cosmic unity. This unity is largely the unity of controllership. Everything I think and do, and all the choices I make, do not ultimately originate from me, but rather originate from “the great Tao that flows everywhere”, from “God’s act of Creation”, or from “the ground of being”. If there is no separate me as controller, then there is just everything that is. Control there is, but no separate entity who controls.

What if …
the story of the last supper was a metaphor for the “Holy War” fought between the knowing and far vision of the Lateral Mind against the major personality archetypes of the Linear Mind ..?
What if then …
the “emergence” of the Lateral Mind, metamorphosed with the Linear Mind did not result in any “Death” but in the ability to see an overall picture .. where the Linear Mind was no longer dominant but still fully functional as a possibility of choice.

Price Transparency

I wonder if such a collaborative online ” Price Book ” , as mentionned here :

http://www.wisebread.com/inflation-is-worse-than-you-think

furthering transparency about prices according to location , and through time , per equivalent product ,

could be interesting ?

Or do you already know such kind of Price Book ?

It could be interesting to empower consumers vis a vis shops , but also vis a vis politicians , …

When googling , I find Do It Your Self ( DIY ) style recommendations such as

http://organizedhome.com/make-price-book-save-money

but not yet any collaborative project of gathering and comparing information , combined with a google maps api … ( or google earth kml )
