The big picture

Is made from the colors of millions of carefully placed dots, notes of music, watercolor drops, pencil points,
 tiny marks on canvas.

 

 

We must continue to discover and rediscover those areas of passion that drive and propel the impulses of creative initiatives.

 

 

a note from ArchAngel:
“stuff in a child’s brain”

 

mANY THINGS ARE SAID TO A CHILD WHILE GROWING INTO AN ADULT.

tHESE “THINGS” COLLECT WITHIN THE MIND AND “SPIN” THE IMAGINATION.

 

mY FATHER, ANDREW TOLD ME THAT CANNIBALISM WAS THE RESULT OF PEOPLE NEEDING SALT IN THEIR DIET! tHIS IDEA LOCKED-IN AND BECAME A BELIEF UNTIL I WAS 21 YEARS OLD!

 

aNDREW KEPT A BOOK OF “WORDS” AS HIS REFERENCE WHILE ENJOYING CROSS WORD PUZZLES AT MORNING COFFEE. gOOD STUFF- CLARITY OF THE MEANING OF WORDS AND HOW THEY COULD BE USED. SAVED IN A NOTEBOOK TO DO THE PUZZLE!

 

dAD’S  BOOK WAS LOST AFTER HIS DEATH- SO IN SOME WAY I AM RECORDING MY LIST OF WORDS AND THE ASSOCIATIONS THEY CONJURE UP FOR ME.

 

SO WHAT WE  “HEAR, REMEMBER, AND BELIEVE” WILL GENERATE ASSOCIATIONS THAT MAY BE TRUE OR FALSE, REAL OR UNREAL, VISIBLE OR INVISIBLE.

 

tHIS IS THE REASON FOR MY LITTLE BOOK OF “SMOOTH SAYINGS”. tHESE “PITHY” STATEMENTS FROM TIME TO TIME HAVE TRIGGERED NEW THOUGHTS OR SERVED TO STIMULATE A WAY OF SAYING SOME  “PROFOUND TRUTH” THAT IS ON MY MIND AND NEEDS TO BE EXPRESSED. 

 

tHE LIST HAS SERVED ME FOR YEARS AND A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION IN THOSE MOMENTS WHEN BLANK CANVAS OR PAPER IS BEFORE ME..

 

i HAVE FOUND THIS “STUFF” IN DREAMS, NEWSPAPERS, FRAGMENTED CONVERSATIONS WITH STRANGERS, MOVIE DIALOGUES, ADVERTISEMENT FROM THE TV- PICKING UP THIS COMMENT- THEN THAT COMMENT KEEPING THIS ONE- THROWING THE OTHER AWAY.

I SAY TO ANYONE INTERESTED “LOOK AND SEE!” 

 

Design stuff

 

[86.01] PHILIPPE STARCK:"Why design?"

STARCK recalls spending his childhood underneath his father's drawing boards; hours spent sawing, cutting, gluing, sanding, dismantling bikes, motor cycles and other objects.

Endless hours, a whole lifetime spent taking apart and putting back together whatever comes to hand, remaking the world around him.

He is tireless in changing the realities of our daily life, sublimating our roots and the deepest wellsprings of our being into his changes.

 

[86.1] Blaise Aguera y arcas:  sea drAGON, an invention of Arcas to to study architecture in multi- media. CREATIVITY: THE CREATOR AND CREATIVITY is how we cope with creation A creator does things, the persona  we project creativity   and creation.

[86.03] Eddi Reader (Singer-England): "What You Do With What You've Got,"  Design is about all you share. Design is not about what you have been given: it is about what you give. What is the use of pushing and shoving? Design is about doing something with what you have got. What use is there a voice if you do not speak word of love. What use of colors on a painting unless they touch the sun? What is the use of a muscle if all you do is shove?

 

[86.0] Matthew ricard/ STEPHEN PETRANEK/ Sherwin nuland/ dan gilbert

1/ Happiness and how do I get some? we need to live with passion and suffering because it feels so good when it stops. Where is happiness? The past? The present? The future? What is happiness?

2/ Happiness and wellbeing: a deep sense of deep fulfillment that invades and underlies all the joys and sorrows that come our way- too often we look outside of ourselves- if we miss something our happiness collapses

3/ Now look at the inner condition- our inner paradise build something then within yourself- if you are unhappy within you will look for a window from which to jumb

4/ The experience is translated within: how do we control or what state of mind? is required to maintain our well being- anger, strong desire invade our mind and will torment the inner mind

5/ Not needing recognition being satisfied that we assisted another person with something without the need of gratitude::: to be aware- that allows the images to rise on it- behaind every thought is the essence of consciuoness- the possibility of transformation::: cannot want

6/ Many lose the will to survive. One out of ten are clinically depressed. And, our longevity is increasing by one year each year. 100 years of age is now a reality.

7/ How might the world end? He lays out the challenges that face us in the drive to preserve the human race. Will we be wiped out by an asteroid? Eco-collapse? How about a particle accelerator gone wild?

7/ Mystical and Spiritual thoughts: our minds are invaded by these kinds of things often causing a mind to become troubled: if it can happen it probably will happen. There will be adversity and a bleakness of spirit, obsessions, and depressions. The question remains can we find our way back from such a thing? (SHERWIN NULAND: Yes. Through electrical shock therapy)

8/ Synthetic Happiness ( Dan Gilbert): Our brains are “flight simulators”. Happiness can be “synthensized”. We have a physcholigical “immune system”:  that is the ability to synthensize happiness. We “re-rank” what makes us happy. Our longings and desires are overblown because we have the capacity to synthenized our ability to choose. We must challenge the idea that we'll be miserable if we don't get what we want. Happiness "synthetic happiness," and he says it's "every bit as real and enduring as the kind of happiness you stumble upon when you get exactly what you were aiming for." We must remember that our brains often misjudge the circumstance and send the negative message ( the glass is half empty).

This Instead, his book ( Dan Gilbert) describes what science has to tell us about how and how well the human brain can imagine its own future, and about how and how well it can predict which of those futures it will most enjoy.

 

[86.0] tony robbins: There are 6000 EMOTIONS

1/ WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?
 2/ EMOTION IS THE FORCE IN LIFE. THE MIND CAN DO ANYTHING.
3/ THE  INTELLECT PLAYS IN THE HEAD CREATING OBSESSIONS.
4/ WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE? THE MOST POWERFUL IS PERFORMANCE.
HOW DO YOU MAKE A CHANGE TO CONTRIBUTE BEYOND YOURSELF?
5/ TAKING THE INVISIBLE-MAKE IT VISIBLE THIS IS THE BASIC APPROACH. FULLFILMENT IS AN ART.
6/  WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN A PERSON’S LIFE?
7/ STILL UNHAPPY?  WHAT IS IT? WHAT SHAPES US? PAST IS NOT FUTURE. DECISION IS THE ULTIMATE POWER. WHY DID YOU FAIL TO ACHIEVE-TIME MONEY? CLAIMS THAT YOU NEEDED MISSING RESOURCES?
THE DEFINING RESOURC:  RESOURCEFULNESS, EMOTION. GET THE RIGHT EMOTION AND IT IS THE ULTIMATE RESOURCE. 
8/ DECISIONS SHAPE DESTINY. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO FOCUS ON? What are the decisions that shaped your destiny? OUR DECISION SHAPES THE WORLD.
9/ WHAT DID YOU DO TO GET EMOTIONAL
FITTNESS?

[86.0] Larry Brillant/  Dr. Klaus Topfer/ William Mc donough/ Juan Enriquez/ james watson/ Robert Wright

Explores the “mega trends” that create pessimism other megatrends that could inspire pessimism. But, he says, there is a more powerful case for optimism:

1::: ARE WE GOING TO LEAVE A FUTURE FOR OUR CHILDREN?

2 ::: THE PROBLEMS OF THE FUTURE

We have the power of collaboartion to bring the soluton scale

3::: Global warming/ disease eradiaction/ education/

4::: Hydrogen, the future fuel? Is this the best fuel for a carbon free future?

1938-2 billion people 2008 6 billion 2070 9billion

We are about to destroy the planet. Fossil fuels are destroying the environment.

We must challenge our technologies and  suspend carbon: Sunlight to Bio-Mass (water and soil)- Bio-mass to liquids- to hydrogen.

5::: Architecture of buildings and cities: Our mission is absolute sustainability. The concept of “cradle to grave” design which will bridge the needs of ecology and economics (i.e: Ford Motor roof,  China cities)

6::: Juan Enriquez is amazing! I stumbled across his first book, "As the Future Catches You" a few years ago. It is the MOST IMPORTANT BOOK I have ever read: The shift from cave paintings to hieroglyphics, The shift to binary code brought with it the era of computing and then the Internet, with vast implications for just about every area of human endeavor. Similarly, the rise of genomics has brought a shift in code toward the structure of life, with implications that are slowly revealing themselves. Enriquez argues that our ability to thrive in the culture created by this shift depends on our mastery of it, and companies whose futures lie with the intersecting fates of science, technology, and computing will do well to mind the knowledge gap -- and not get swallowed up by it.

7::: James Watson: What makes us”tick”? How did life start?  I want to understand what life is. Watson and Francis Crick, discovered the structure of DNA. Tioday Watson is in the search for genetic bases for major illnesses.

8::: Author Robert Wright thinks the crises the human species now faces are moral in nature, and that our salvation lies in the intelligent pursuit of self-interest. In his book Nonzero, Wright argues that life depends on a non-zero-sum dynamic. While a zero-sum game depends on a winner and loser, all parties in a non-zero-sum game win or lose together, so players will more likely survive if they cooperate. This points to an optimistic future of ultimate cooperation among humans -- if we recognize the game.

 

[86.2] Divinity

“ … God has given ‘hints’ of the Divine within the order and beauty found in the Universe. Supernatural truth is revealed and re-discovered in nature, events, people, places, & things. The desire to experience the ‘Cosmic Image’ in a specific time and place is an ancient yearning. Cultures find expression of this belief in the construction of sanctuaries, churches, and gardens: Holy Places for Worship and Prayer. The  Artist and Architect hear the song of the angels as they give praise to God and are inspired in the expectation of the good things to come …”

 

[86.3] a hidden desire

Our communion as artisans, painters, sculptors, and architects remains the ancient longing hidden within hearts of human beginnings: a cry for unity!

 

[86.4] A way of thinking

Many pretend to be a symbol of visions: the written word in their hands becomes a dogma- the Law. The artisan opens to possibilities in the realization of the ideal.

 

[86.5] Starlight

Cut him into tiny stars, place him in the night sky and all will fall deeply in love with the dawn paying no attention to the light of the garish sun.

Whirlwind ::

We hear It whisper: “All is waiting for you  and kept safe  for you year after year:  beautiful songs, spectacular paintings of  color and form: where have you been? Where? Where?

 

[86.6] Harmony

There was a time when the brilliance of the architect stood parallel to the intellect of the academic. The builder a  finely proportioned spirit in harmony with God.

 

[86.7] Esoteric

The disciplines of Art + Architecture + Spirituality are based upon both abstractions and experiences. Design a process based on rules of freedom.

 

[86.8] one

What is to be believed and what is to be learned are Harmonized on the Earth beneath the Dome of the Heavens: all things are transformed into One.
