"Emergence through emergency"

Yesterday I was on the phone with Guru (David) Steven a Positive Deviant Network member.  We were talking about the future and Bucky’ concepts of Ephemeralization” (doing more and more with less and less) and Bucky’s concept of “Emergence through  Emergency.”

When I got home, I turned on the computer and read this article.  Just thought I would share it with you.  Bucky gave me a faith in “there is something mysterious going on”. 

I believe Bucky will be eventually viewed as one of the greatest minds to ever live.  With that in mind I would love to have you join me at the Whitney Museum at 945 Madison Avenue (At 75th) Street, New York NY 10021  (212) 570-3600 at the main entrance at 10:00 AM on Saturday August 16th.   http://www.voanews.com/english/AmericanLife/2008-07-11-voa35.cfm

 I doubt that there will ever be an exhibit of Bucky’s artifacts like this again in my lifetime.  The artifacts, however, are like attempting to view describe an orange by looking at it from the outside and never having tasted one.  Hopefully, we will be able to look at these artifacts (the outside) and I will do my best to describe the “taste” of Bucky’s thinking.

 If you can make it, I would love to share this experience with you.  Please let me know if you can make it by responding to the Evite (Click here to view and respond to the invitation. If you don’t already have an Evite account, you will need to register when you get there.)

 
Love,

Marshall

What REALLY Matters.
written by Stephen Summers, August 07, 2008
Dear Marshall and Daryl, I have so enjoyed everything I have read from you. What a breath of fresh air among all the B.S. and subtrifuge that fills the air these days. It makes the point of how important it is for everyone of integrity and substance and character to speak out and be heard. Sometimes it can seem like the whole human race has become so dumbed down, apethetic and corrupted that there is no hope. But then just a glimmer of light, just a few voices speaking truth and positive intention and confidence can ignite those qualities in all who have ears to hear. I believe the number of people who have selfish and controlling intent toward the rest of mankind are very few in number and the majority of human beings are good hearted, benevolent and peace oriented. We face this critical time where the foundations of our 'normal' day to day lives will be shaken and our character will be tested. One of my desires and intentions for 2008 is "I intend to become stronger", stronger in physical health and stamina, stronger in my will and self-discipline, and stronger in my inner experience of felt connection to my higher essence. I join you in your desire to make our world a better place for the greater good.

Marshall:
I was compelled to write to you on the occasion of Michael Jackson's death. I remember your story about trying to get a discount from a record store for buying multiple copies of We Are the World -- they said "No discounts for world peace." You were a huge influence in my life ... I am glad to see that you are still on the leading edge of whatever thinking is. Aloha no. Gloria Garvey
