The Fundamental Forces of the Universe: Entropy, Gravity, Love
How to make a Universe? Take some shapeless matter and energy, mostly hydrogen, give it the law of entropy. Space-time and gravity emerge, into simple chaos, and become more complex, while organising and transforming. At some point, atoms combine to complex molecules...

Transcendance of Systems

Integral Buddhism is Engaged Buddhism
Is Buddhism focusing only on a few individuals being enlightened? Which role has Buddhism played in large scale conscious human evolution so far? Does Buddhism practice accelerate the dynamic of the spiral, or support Eros, the driving evolutionary force? It seems to...

Obama speaks of Diversity
