Hi Orenda,

Just want to let you know I have read your manifesto. I really like your poetic ending. Quote "Let's transform human kind into cosmic poets, noble sculptors of matter, wizards of reality, musicians of the energy waves of continuous flow of positive improvement, alchemists of happiness; let's transform the blueprints of human kind into a design of prosperity, happiness and achievement in the cosmos cybernetics. Orenda Urbano Hernández." That's certainly optimistic.

I lost count of how many times you said Black Sky thinking, it was a lot.I was starting to feel the name being repeatedly stamped into my brain. Am I correct in assuming this is a project that you have been working on prior to the contest and thought applicable to the essay question? Do you have members yet or is it just an idea?

Georgina

    Dear Georgina,

    I appreciate your kind indication of the repetitive action using the term "Black Sky Thinking". Your observation will help me to avoid this repetitive action in the future. You are correct, I was working for a prior contest and thought it would be applicable to "How should humanity steer the future?" contest. The previous contest focus was to develop the vision of how should humanity be related with ideas of the way we may travel to the stars. The field of life called earth it is our cradle to generate models to solve things for survival, travelling to space will require different approaches toward this challenge. We may change our internal fields of thinking, interacting and behaving in order to include new structures. In both cases the goal is the same: to explore space and a new future we require to re-structure ourselves to survive and vice versa in order to re-structure ourselves to survive we may explore space and new future. The crossing point is human kind, it is like a svastica or helix that needs to spin. For that purpose needs to be developed in both axis and therefore there is movement, where there is movement there is life.

    I am optimistic because we have the freedom of choice to be hardwired into negative thinking or taking positive actions. This is an idea so far. I am in the search of members to develop it and upgrade it into scientific solution.

    I remain thankful of the time you dedicated to read the essay and mainly of your positive, improving and constructive post.

    Kindly,

    Orenda

    I like the concept of identifying those things that contribute strongly toward a desirable outcome for humanity. However, many of the things we think of today as being bad, actually have profound influences in the future to help humanity move forward.

    War is undesirable, yet it accounts for a major segment of all technological developments. Is it possible for Black Sky Thinking to support equivalent flows of innovation and development? I think so, but additional features related to shared emotional, social, and communication logical processes. Also, a system of both bottom/up and top/down systems to eliminate corruption are necessary.

    This is a nice initial work to start from in the development of a broader software system to simulate and predict outcomes based upon the present status and proposed actions.

    I've seen several works here that if combined would produce a more complete model for helping to rationally steer the future.

    1) using a system of path integrals to characterize best pathway

    2) broad system to teach common sense

    3) I tend to like the entries that are implementable

    4) ...

      Dear Mr. Hernández,

      Your very well written essay was quite fascinating to read and I do hope that it does well in the competition. I do have one minor quibble about it that I hope you will not mind me mentioning.

      In my essay REALITY, ONCE, I have gone to extraordinary lengths to explain as simply as possible that reality is unique, once. It is with the greatest regret that as best as I can fathom based on your essay; Black Sky Thinking is not unique.

      With the best of regards,

      Joe Fisher

        Dear Mr. Dunn,

        I appreciate the time dedicated to read this essay. I apologize by answering until now, it seems I did not see your answer in the inbox but is me paying this mistake I lost valuable time of knowing your concepts and visions.

        A consistent history lesson is that war has been a strong, deep and revolutionary movement in human kind that has leaded toward scientific, technological and methodical changes. Even though by learning bioprocesses this phase repeats again as a constant. Black Sky Thinking aware of this continuous lesson of chaotic way of changing things proposes a new basis for this change: a responsible way of modifying cosmos cybernetics. It is maybe cosmos that creates radical ways to impose or propose a new system but if we are the cosmos can we change that? If we were given the gift of self-understanding, self-comprehending and self-changing things do we understand our power to do so or we will continue old tracks that lead to the same places?

        It is in our dreams, desires and goals the intrinsic possibility of realization; if we can dream it we can create it. History shows us that is not in war where development and innovation are but in the investment of wealth, when there is war the investment goes directly to technology and innovation. What to think about it? Can we change that? Can we create a life by design? Or do we enjoy the randomness of cosmos? If we are hardwired to violence and we realize that do we have the power to change that?

        Mr. Dunn you are sharing an elegant form that I could not find to express how to eliminate corruption. I agree with you, one of my questions is if we can get to know or measure how corruption has decreased the quality of human being DNA or delayed its evolution. In Black Sky Thinking the purpose of self-evaluation measurement and comparison with standards that are leading to HENOSIS in a system looking for rational cybernetics. It is a smart way to create a circuit to identify bottom/up or top/down system, this can lead to statistics and an on time answer or resonance of the action generated. For this purpose is the use of wearable computing.

        It is interesting to read that several different proposals are leading to such a great goal: a rational steer of human kind future and all living forms. It could be a proposal that can provide an integral, accurate and useful solution to this goal. Black Sky Thinking purpose is, as you stated your own vision, to propose or give basis for implementable, tangible and rational solution on real time with the heart in higher purpose with the mind on rational implementations.

        I appreciate your kind attention because you shared with me improving points of view.

        Best regards,

        Orenda

        Mr. Fisher,

        I appreciate your kind attention and that you read the essay. I appreciate your kindness to share your thoughts.

        This is my first time writing an essay for a competition of this nature in my life. I do not know anything about you (what do you do, how is your thinking even though how do you look like) or your work, be so kind to comprehend my ignorance toward you. This can be changed if you have the kindness of directing my attention toward your work, books or anything that could widen my understanding about you.

        It is a huge laughing you brought to me when I read ", I have gone to extraordinary lengths to explain as simply as possible that reality is unique, once" , I have gone to extraordinary lengths to explain as simply as possible that reality is unique, once" because I also experienced this difficulty.

        I am sure, as you say that Black Sky Thinking may not be unique, there are a lot of human beings who eager their existence to achieve HENOSIS and to share it in the well-being of human kind. I am glad of your words to realize there is no blindness on human kind that we share a positive, constructive and assertively kind vision. If you read the attachment in the Cybernetics Sequence Model that is creation of Volodymyr Kunko-Bohslavetz you will find that he came to this solution after reading and analyzing great minds work.

        Black Sky Thinking is the progress of my way to express how we can turn into tangible our intangible kind inner realities. This project is more about my heart than my brain, I conceived it in my heart and tried to develop it in a structured way. Since my university thesis I designed a living museum but in my country that is unnecessary due this seems to be a living museum country. Then I designed a toy for kids to improve their knowledge of themselves and the world; a toy that they will design, modify and to create a thinking, improve a spirit and widen comprehension. This same project then was modified for all human kind and has been changing with time to time. Now is BLACK SKY THINKING, I keep track of all previous versions, if you are interested. Beyond that I am very happy to know I share a highly spirited vision of existence with other human being. Thank you for sharing this touching and welcome thought. While I was creating Black Sky Thinking or "muñequitas project" or "living museum" project my goal has always being to generate a field of improvement for all people that like you effort, eager and create better realities. In deed I have nobody whom to speak about this creation in my current reality so it feels very comfortable to know there are more souls committed to create realities of improvement. Thank you for letting me know that I am not alone in this dream and that there could be a lot of people interested.

        Kind regards,

        Miss Orenda Urbano Hernández

        Mr. Fisher,

        Perhaps the morphic ressonance of Mr. Ruppert Sheldrake is real: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AOWPbPDitQ

        According to him in the book of Masaru Emamoto it is described that morphic fields affect when there is a scientific discovery in one part of the world this happens at the same time in another part of the world or several parts of the world.

        I hope reading this essay do not caused you a negative feeling. When I was creating it I had the perception someone was reading it and making it happen by parts in different places of the world. Then I realized this was not the case. After that I remembered this morphic fields of Mr. Sheldrake and realized that is very possible. As Neil deGrasse Tyson said: "We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically."

        I know more people who had expressed me that they had created a similar project as Black Sky Thinking so as you can see we can be glad we are not the only ones.

        Kindly,

        Orenda

          Dear Orenda,

          Please forgive me if you thought I was being too critical of your first essay to this site. It was a fine essay. I merely wanted to point out to you that understanding reality is far more important than learning what dead men like Einstein or Newton might have thought of their abstract universes.

          Respectfully,

          Joe Fisher

          Mr. Fisher,

          Your kind apologies are welcome, I just wanted to make clear for your inner peace that I had not been having any actions to diminish or damage your intellectual property.

          I appreciate that you are extremely kind with your words toward my effort of providing a positive view of how we may steer the future.

          Totally agree with you about the importance of focus our effort to understand reality and the way we may improve it. As you, I also find that there is extremely valuable information inherited from previous thinkers but we may always provide also our attention toward those applicable and on time answers to progress.

          Abstract thinking is a fabulous because we grasp magical nature of cosmos but we may also focus in non-abstract thinking because so far human beings are not abstract.

          You are right about the fact that there are many people are creating systems to improve our reality like Janine Benyus who created the concept of Biomimicry and now is focusing in economy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE-2rDZwMXA another fabulous answer to create a better reality provided by Biomimicry is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTvCri64_dw

          I am sure that your focus is the result of making positive actions turn into an innovative, creative and functional reality. Thank you for the time dedicated to Black Sky Thinking essay and toward my person.

          Respectfully,

          Orenda

          Orenda,

          You have a few concepts I would like to discuss regarding commercializing.

          Please contact me at:

          Orenda,

          I don't agree with dominant centralized values in a global context. Depending upon the social group there may be some shared values, but the dominance of these values are not universal.

          An assembly line worker needs certain qualities to be happy in their workplace. A traffic policeman shares many of the traits needed by assembly line workers, due to the repetitive nature of their job. People who do not share the a joy in doing repetitive tasking should not hold related positions. They should instead have opportunities to become a Detective or some other position where repetition does not occur as often.

          People need to be diverse and categorized so that opportunities can be fit to and made available to them; along with the related training.

          Values are systems of relationships and perspectives that support a system of outcomes. The feedback of opportunities reinforces those values. If everyone has the same values, there won't be enough opportunities to support those values and this is where corruption lives.

          Physics is the abstraction of mathematics to represent cosmology. Corruption lives in the manipulation of the availability of opportunities. The super-collider gets funding and support personnel because of influence of perceived value. Even though not one useful product has been produced from manipulating subatomic particles other than neutron, proton, electron, and photon. So in useful terms, being able to manipulate perceived values is of great importance for the research of physics; and everything else in competition with physics.

          I look forward to discussing how aspects of your proposal can be commercialized. I know elsewhere the author of Open Peer Review pushes for transparency, but this blatantly would be negligent business practice.

          Dear Orenda,

          I read your essay deep with great interest. This program of action. For me it is important that the foundation of your Conception - the philosophy Teilhard de Chardin and Leo Tolstoy. For me also it is very important your saying: «I am optimistic because we have the freedom of choice to be hardwired into negative thinking or taking positive actions. This is an idea so far.»... Freedom is one of the main concepts. For me: "Freedom is the recognition of necessity.» (Hegel)

          Your Conception - it is a good basis for further in-depth "brainstorming." Obviously, it is necessary to make more concepts of the "LifeWorld" (E.Husserl), poetics, that it was closer to the common people, the inhabitants of the spaceship called "Earth". It is also possible to interpret the concept of "matrix" as a "source", "generating source." Today it is obvious that the Scientific picture of the world should be the same rich sense of "LifeWorld" as the picture of the world of lyricists. A special role should be in education. Nurturing creative personality, and not the future of "professionals", is the main task of education, especially school.

          We, together with the new Generation should hear every hour, every minute, every second the Voice of the Earth. New Generation tells us: "We start the path "... «Hope - our compass earth»...

          With interest pleasure studying your site. Thank FQXi that brings together people for "brainstorming" on very important topics of modern Humanity!.

          I invite you to my forum and my essay FQXi Essay 2012-2013.

          I wish you good luck!

          All the Best,

          Vladimir

            Orenda,

            Black Sky Thinking, of course, is not fantasy, but your poetic depiction makes it sound so. Considering the present global situation, it will take such an effort to bring the change that is needed. I do not describe my suggested changes as Black Sky Thinking but the vision is the same. My "thinking beyond" involves thinking beyond the confines of our solar system. My thinking within is the microcosm of the universe we call our brain.

            Your essay is poetic and metaphorical. Such is needed to inspire the changes needed to bring about a viable future.

            Good job.

            Jim

              dear orenda

              Fantanstic work,A literal waltz into beautiful solitude,very nice charts.A positive mindset that we should adopt.also take your time to rate /review my essay wherein i address Cosmic physical realities that can serve as guidelines to achieve that plus some secrets of the universe.its tititled LIVING IN THE SHADOWS OF THE SUN: REALITIES, PERILS ESCAPADES MAN, PLANET AND KARDASHEV SCALE.MAKING THE GREAT TRANSITION by Michael muteru you can use the weblink, http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/2101.thanks all the best

              Dear Vladimir,

              I appreciate your kind words toward my essay, I effort too much on minimizing it as all people here. It is amazing when one sparkle of light from the matrix appears how immense is the light of all the good readings, experiences and most important of all human interactions that were positive emerge like a field.

              Definitely I am very focused in a program of action and basis fundaments to direct the living energy toward constructive, structured-flexible-adaptable fields of reality and reasonable use of cosmos. My name is Orenda and means vital energy I want to be congruent to my name with my actions.

              It is very important to read that you share a positive view with great minds in their constructive and positive eagerness and actions. The fundament of freedom is the recognition of necessity as you say but we may also focus on positive ways to achieve the goal to overcome this necessity. As Buckminster Fuller created an intangible field and left basis to provide positive-intelligent-solutions, I am confident we may continue this track with our intellectual, emotional and spiritual tools.

              As you say: ". It is also possible to interpret the concept of "matrix" as a "source", "generating source". This is possible but we may extend our vision beyond what we were told and listen to inner world. Teilhard de Chardin's work I founded it in a Theosophy book but he transformed the information as science information. The Theosophy book has in its front: "there is no religion superior to truth" ("Ancient Wisdom" from Annie Besant, Spanish version, 3rd edition, Edit. EISA ) in this book you will discover to Teilhard de Chardin. He was both things: spiritual and scientist. Robert Oppenheimer learned Sanskrit in 1933 and read the Bhagavad-gita in the original, citing it later as one of the most influential books to shape his philosophy of life, stating that "The Vedas are the greatest privilege of this century."

              You are absolutely correct that I need to invest in more concepts of "LifeWorld", I am working on that already. Science is the human understanding of how cosmos functions, we are not creating cosmos with science. If we are going to manufacture the cybernetics of cosmos it is vital that the intelligence and spirit of such artist may be focused in higher, polished and intelligent fields of cosmos. Knowledge per se is like matter, it depends in the artist how it is going to be used.

              I apologise for not being able to understand Russian, I only know some words on Czech (my brother learned in 4 months to speak basic Czech). Maybe if there exist an English version for this lyrics (http://lyricstranslate.com/ ) that sound very harmonic. There is science in poetry and vice versa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaNGDrKKasA

              You saw my essay with depth because that is what resides in you, we are unable to see what is not in us. Your powerful words will inspire the days to come: "We, together with the new Generation should hear every hour, every minute, every second the Voice of the Earth. New Generation tells us: "We start the path "... «Hope - our compass earth»..."

              I appreciate your kind, generous and enthusiastic invitation to participate in your forum, I am delighted to do so. I wish you are always closer to truth or directing yourself to it.

              Dekuji,

              Orenda

              Dear Jim,

              Is it fantasy? It is not in what is written, it lies inside of us, if you see it feasible then it is but if you do not see it then it is not ( "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right." ― Henry Ford).

              Remember this:

              As men approach Me, so I receive them. All paths, Arjuna, lead to Me. (Hinduism. Bhagavad Gita 4.11)

              Confucius said... "In the world there are many different roads but the destination is the same. There are a hundred deliberations but the result is one."

              (Confucianism. I Ching, Appended Remarks 2.5)

              At any time, in any form and accepted name, if one is shorn of all attachment, that one is you alone. My Lord! You are one although variously appearing.

              (Jainism. Hemachandra, Dvatrimshika 29)

              They have called him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, and the divine fine-winged Garuda; They speak of Indra, Yama, Matrarisvan: the One Being sages call by many names. (Hinduism. Rig Veda 1.164.46).

              You are right the current situation is challenging but human resilience capability, neuroplasticity, epigenetics and the high adaptable capability of human kind make trust we can change it. I am glad to read you share the view with Black Sky Thinking "beyond the confines of our solar system". To be able to do so we may first realize we are the universe and the universe is in us: http://hateandanger.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/the-universe-is-in-us/ . In the moment we can change, we will be able to transform the universe. As this quote express: "Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That's kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It's not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us." ― Neil deGrasse Tyson

              I deeply appreciate your insight but I admire your capability to transform my poetic way to express into feasible scientific possibility, Black Sky Thinking lies in you. I remain thankful of your generous, intelligent and kind words.

              A gift to keep inspiring your curious mind, if you could be so kind to transform this thought into scientific reality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaNGDrKKasA

              Grateful with the power of energy contained in kind words.

              Orenda

              Dear Orenda.

              Thank you very much for your kind and deep words, for inspiring me your answer. Thank you very much for the links. Music, voice and words are gorgeous! They say that Poetry and Science must create eidos of Universe that inspires people, gives new Knowledge and calls for deep search for truth. Thank you for your enthusiasm and your efforts for a better future for all Humanity!

              I'm waiting for you to look at my forum!

              Le deseo buena suerte!

              Todo lo mejor,

              Orenda,

              In some ways this is the most realistic essay here. A plan to form a committee that will form a committee that will plan to ask a question is sadly the way government works. Most of the time governments wait for someone to find an answer and then take the credit. I do feel this is more of a poster than an essay. This does not mean that the ideas are poor, but this does not have the style and flow of an essay. This also makes giving this a rating is difficult. Should I grade this as an essay, a plan or a powerpoint pitch?

              All the best,

              Jeff

              Orenda,

              "To be able to do so we may first realize we are the universe and the universe is in us"

              We are absolutely "stardust" and should mimic the life and death of stars: My contention in "Looking Beyond and Within for Steering our Future."

              I would like to see your comments on my essay.

              Jim
