The love affair between Critic and Creative, Left-Brain and Right-Brain

A central first thought about those entering social initially: lighten up! Have fun! If social networking is like a cocktail party, then treat it as such: this is when humans get to have fun! Find what you love and be THERE.

To continue: jaded individuals and critics are THE greatest allies to creative, social beings, pushing the Creatives to higher heights of brilliance. In the best case scenario, these two are like lovers: The Critic and The Creative, driving, enticing, seducing, pushing one another to their best.

To be more clear: Love exists and always will. Find what/who you love and socialize about that, market that, sell that. If you don’t love it, aren’t into it, and only are pushing it for money, this will become abundantly clear. The passionate brands sell fun (after identifying pain points, of course)!

The transition from a paradigm of opacity/power to transparency/ethics IS the bridge humanity now crosses. It is a passage best led by individuals and groups with evenly-balanced masculine/feminine polarity, pluralists and those who oriented more around Eros than Phobos. ~ Nathaniel Hansen, Athens, Greece.

Social networks have changed the face of what it means to be human.

Social networks have changed the face of what it means to be human. We are no longer bound by the confines of the physical realm. Human social networks are launching pads, entrance halls, to the fantastic and limitless realm of spirit…welcome to Forever, mankind. We are moments from a collectively-experienced “tasting” of once intangible concepts like Infinity, Forever and Eternity.

Virtual goods are the new economy. We are firmly caught in a river of thought that is carrying all of us into vicinities known by ancient peoples: places like Dreamtime AND Hyperborea. Our very dreams, the images that fill our minds, have a value to ourselves, our communities, our pareas, our World.

The nature of competition has changed forever. And the earth from which we now may mine gold IS firmly the Imagination.

Those who are primarily physically-oriented and adept in the realm of Density (not a negative or perjorative realm at all) are now being introduced to the Subtler realms – places well known by artists, poets, philosophers, meta-physicians and the like. They need only apply the same principles to the Invisible realm and their livings will be secure. The practioners of the subtle are now free to peddle their goods, their crafts and, most importantly, the fantastic realms of Within, a far vaster realm than Without. ~ Nathaniel Hansen

NO FACEBOOK FOR PRIESTS

A prominent bishop has warned priests to take extra care when using Facebook and perhaps even avoid the social networking site altogether to avoid becoming embroiled in situations that could embarass the Church.

Archbishop Irenaios of Crete sent a circular yesterday in which he advises priests to be cautious when either posting messages or setting up a profile on Facebook. “It is a precautionary measure so that our priests do not get involved in matters the extent of which they do not fully comprehend,” he told Kathimerini.

The social networking site is becoming an increasingly popular way for priests to keep in touch with their faithful. “Worshippers often ask to confess their mistakes,” said Father Pavlos, a priest from Thessaloniki who has more than 1,500 Facebook friends. “The distance seems to help and makes young people, especially, feel more comfortable expressing themselves.”

(It is FABULOUS and NECESSARY that ALL spiritual beings, teachers and practitioners be in Social Networks. Social Networks are inherently spiritual, tapping into the emotional sub-strata of humanity ~ Nathaniel Hansen).
