Mike's Mastermind

A quick summation as to what inspires me to create the Mikes Mastermind podcast and the Loving Conversations project. I thought I ought to condense my thoughts about them for a quick overview and share them with you. Here it is - I hope it is something worth considering.

A basic introduction to some of my overall ideas can be found at GrandTourIdeas.com

Thank you!

Valentines Day is a special day for those that are in relationships but what if you are dealing with a situation where the parties have not spoken to each other in ages or had issues that may not have been totally resolved? Today's talk is a reflection on just that subject imagining having that type of Loving Conversation, what would be the considerations for everyone involved to come together? Enjoy and celebrate it.

Check out LovingConversations.com & MikesMastermind.com for more info.

My work on IGOism.com is shaping up into a possible book proposal and the next level of consideration ponders what the dynamics of being able to use the IGO concept as a form of psychotherapy would be like. I hope you enjoy it - let me know. MikesMastermind.com

Confronting realities within the construct of the Weltschloss is considered in the brief exploration of what inputs and qualities are most admired or appreciated when a meeting of the minds occurs. Its a deep consideration of trust, respect and being open to new ideas and possibilities. More at WeltSchloss,com and see earlier episodes for further exploration. MikesMastermind.com podcast

We all want to improve conditions and make the world a better place but to do it requires transforming the paradigm and what I describe as the 'metasphere' between us allowing for the opportunity for quantum change to take place. In examining existing social structures and institutions as well as our own individual conduct within this realm I present what I sense are the groundfloor components of approaching change and that is the WRECK formula. Yes, we want to elegantly wreck the old paradigm and not uneccessarily hurt or disorient people that end up only making things worse.

The WRECK formula is... approaching the present moment opportunity in this way of being...
Warm and welcoming (for what is)
Real, relevent and right "
Easy (exploring enlightened possibilities)
Considerate (for new ideas, immediate circumstances, conditions and the company you keep)
Kind (in all facets of your dealing - as you can)

That'll do it each and everytime (;

Exploring the GEMS to be 'minded' in the Weltschloss is the preface for the next chapter of a potential book on the ontological subject of 'World Building and Dwelling'. There are a number of interesting ideas that will be presented including the word Imqualia which I will talk more specifically about later.

The GEMS are conditions of placement in our perception and adaptation to our dwelling in the world.

I'm excited to share these insights and hope something gets revealed in your consideration of these ideas. You can find more to read about these as a developing writing project at WeltSchloss.com and you can get a general over-all-view of my other related social theories at GrandTourIdeas.com

Thank you for listening and sharing as you will.

Meeting the Weltschloss (new word) continues the exploration into what I relate to as 'World Building & Dwelling" in terms of our being in the ontological sense. These relational aspects and situational feelings (social climate or metasphere) can become determinents (and/or informants) affecting the qualities of our existence. This idea includes our 'dwelling' relationship to the MEST (matter, energy, space and time) dynamics and these have inherent expressed qualities inclusive of our imposed structures and collective illusiions that then become made-up reality backdrops between us - I hope you find the talk interesting.

I was recently asked in reply from an email when a listener pondered if there was a relationship between my two current writing projects exploring what is the Weltschloss and IGO. I hadn't really considered it before as they are two different undertakings but since the questions was posed (and it was a good one) I wanted to answer it by taking on the possibilities of their interaction and its implication. I hope I did so to your satisfaction. Please let me know!

Here is another term created for examination of the Weltschloss I'm calling Imqualia (em /ˈkwɑːliə/ or /ˈkweɪliə/; singular form: quale) are defined as individual instances of subjective, conscious experience but in this case how I am using it is relating to our sense and the defining of 'it' as what comes across in our determinations as an implicit or implicated quality of being.

The term qualia derives from the Latin neuter plural form (qualia) of the Latin adjective quālis (Latin pronunciation: [ˈkʷaːlɪs]) meaning "of what sort" or "of what kind" in a specific instance, such as "what it is like to taste a specific apple — this particular apple now". Examples of qualia include the perceived sensation of pain of a headache, the taste of wine, as well as the redness of an evening sky. As qualitative characters of sensation, qualia stand in contrast to propositional attitudes,[Kriegel, Uriah (2014). Current Controversies In Philosophy of Mind. New York: Taylor & Francis. p. 201In philosophy of mind] where the focus is on beliefs about experience rather than what it is directly like to be experiencing.

Philosopher and cognitive scientist Daniel Dennett once suggested that qualia was "an unfamiliar term for something that could not be more familiar to each of us: the ways things seem to us".[Dennett, Daniel (1985-11-21). Quining Qualia. Oxford University Press]

What I am hoping to achieve in how I explain Imqualia as distinctive in this talk is by deriving my essence or relationship to with or what I am consciously experiencing while also defining (sharing) how it relates to the moment it arises and presents itself. I am having to relate to attitude I am projecting into while perceiving from it (metasphere creation) and how my interpreting it may be shaping its relevancy and impacts in the moment and/or shaping it as a topic so I find implicit in meaning and manner regarded as such Imqualia. This recognition helps me better adjust and relate to what I think or sense I'm dealing with.

Going through my recordings found this by chance. As a new year project ought to go through my mp3 fiiles and label them. Anyway, cute as they were it's worth sharing and perserving in the moment recall of another time dimension - its onlly 1 min and random -- enjoy~
