consciousness
Do you even recognize your own consciousness?
breathing emptiness consciousness
Change of state is not the point; recognizing the Changeless is the point, recognizing primordial Emptiness is the point, and if you are breathing and vaguely awake, that state of consciousness will do just fine.
noble littles consciousness
... they are structures that we build every time we engage in a thought that's just a little bit higher than a thought we had a moment before, or an activity that's just a little bit more noble than the activity we engaged in a moment before.
consciousness
I don't talk about consciousness. I talk about interiority.
consciousness complexity
Increasing consciousness = increasing complexity.
consciousness humankind
As Aurobindo and Teilhard de Chardin knew, the future of humankind is God-consciousness.
carries gentleman himself name proud southern special street type
We're going to do something special for him, and we'll probably name a street after him. We're all so proud of Corey. He carries himself so well, in a Southern gentleman type of way.
blow soul humanity
If humanity doesn't destroy the planet first, which is always a possibility because as Spirit threw itself out there, that included free will. So, if we don't blow ourselves up first, soul will become as common of a mature development in adults as mind currently is and, eventually, Spirit will become the common experience for humanity.

pain evil pleasure
You can't have good without evil, pleasure without pain, and so on.
spiritual creativity simple
So it is a good idea to start simple, I think, and be very careful. There is a spiritual opening in the Kosmos. Let us be careful of how we fill it. The simplest is: Spirit or Emptiness is unqualifiable, but it is not inert and unyielding, for it gives rise to manifestation itself: new forms emerge, and that creativity is ultimate. Emptiness, creativity, holons.
spirituality
Religion is just coded spirituality.
individual goodness preference
One's sanctions for truth and goodness are established largely by individual preferences.
business reality self
Perhaps the best place to begin with an integral approach to business is with.. oneself. In the Big Three of self, culture, and world, integral mastery starts with self. How do body and mind and spirit operate in me? How does that necessarily impact my role in the world of business? And how can I become more conscious of these already operating realities in myself and in others?
