"Dedicated to Pierre Teilhard de Chardin" - Frontspiece to The Web Empowerment Book, 1995, co-authored by Ralph Abraham, author of CHAOS, GAIA, EROS: A Chaos Pioneer Uncovers the Three Great Streams of History.

"It's a little odd that the great Ralph Abraham would be writing a Web guide." - John Perry Barlow

Weave the web. Curate the curator.

Intuition is at the heart of inner knowing.

Reality is drawn out of us. Think of it as the sharing of an invisible soul.

"Although it's possible, it's not done. But we can do it." - Ralph Abraham

The web tips us over the edge.

Push on the envelope of the act of communication.

"Do what you mean and mean what you say." - A Caterpillar

The being is the doing.

Jay's a sage. Living Without A Goal is one of the most important contributions yet to living with a new perspective on reality.

It's part of an emerging literature which reflects a new understanding of what is real. Better than that, it also proffers a helping hand for dealing with this new understanding. It suggests a path. A way of living life. In that sense, it is part of an emerging literature which reflects a new understanding of what is sacred.

Eeek. There. Said it.

Hold that thought, though. Let it go. There's nothing other-worldy about the sacred. And Jay espouses a tradition of non-tradition. It's a very worldly, practical book. Sacred literature is worldly literature.

In order to shout, ya gotta be beautiful. It's a beautiful work. Read it. It's very beautiful. Very loud.

Don't be scared by the use of the words "sacred" or "tradition."

Scared. Sacred. One letter is all that separates them.

One act is all that separates us. Let go.

All is sacred.

The sacred is a part of us. We are part of it.

"The predecessor is the person from whom each has learned most, and whom he most needs to surpass." - Richard Rorty

"The view I am offering says that there is such a thing as moral progress, and that this progress is in the direction of greater human solidarity. But that solidarity is not thought of as recognition of a core self, the human essence, in all human beings. Rather, it is thought of as the ability to see more and more traditional differences (of tribe, religion, race, customs, and the like) as unimportant when compared with similarities with respect to pain and humiliation - the ability to think of people wildly different from ourselves as included in the range of 'us'" - Richard Rorty

We are united in our suffering.

When others suffer, so do we.

All is flow.

Why am I curating the EFF consciousness archive this way? Not a clue. I'm not passing judgement because it doesn't matter. If it works, it works. Go with the flow.

"It works, why worry?" is life's deepest philosophy." - Kevin Kelly

Do what you mean and mean what you say.

The being is the doing.

Your intuition connects you to the Unknowable.

Intuition is at the heart of inner knowing.

Take it on faith. There's lotsa sychronicity around when you follow your intuition. It's everywhere. You get places quicker because it's an easier path. A gentler path.

If you come away from this space with no other aphorism in mind, but one, take the following, every morning, with a glass of water.

Follow your intuition. Trust to your heart. Your heart doesn't want what is bad for you.

A sense of connectivity is a sense of understanding.

The web tips us over the edge.

Curate the curator.

We've thought ourselves to it. We've got the made evidence to prove the fact. The web.

Had to happen.

Steam engines time come steam engines time.

Intuition and the web mix.

Egads. Connected Mind.

It's about love. The virtues. A psychic rainforest of interaction.

If this thought registers, we're connected.

You get the "idea."

It's a piece-a-type on your screen. But if this thought's registering, we're connected through an interconnected reality. Nothing's more than one connection away. If this remark has any weight, that's why.

We were already. Just that we hadn't noticed. We hadn't given ourselves permission to sense it.

We've all got intuition. Follow it. It works.

Let go.

Life's easier.

All is flow.

It's *all* virtual reality.

Cyberspace is a state of mind.

Exist.

Share.

It's time.

Do not entertain the insanity of the sages.

"Of course you could dismiss Hughes as simply crazy. But then you would have to entertain the insanity of the sages. We know he took to repeating certain phrases over and over again, a recognized symptom of obsessive compulsives. But don't the sages repeat the same mantras over and over again? Whether sane or crazy or both, there is no denying certain similarities between Hughes and the sages. So imagine a monologue of Howard Hughes's narcisstic reflections. Imagine Howard Hughes mulling to himself." Jay Ogilvy in Living Without A Goal.

We're connected to the full force of Howie's hermetic meditations.

And you to mine.

Imagine who you are.

The process is irreversible.

Let go.

It's time.
