Conscious Living - A Weaver’s Life for Me

Forethought

"I don’t have all the answers but I’ve got my share of questions.

If I don’t follow blindly doesn’t mean that I’ve lost my way.

Because I’m still on a Journey, headed down the road less traveled.

You know we’re all going to get there in our own time and way."

Bill Miller from The Vision

Introduction

I do not consider myself to be an expert on anything. I’m a student of science, history, and mythology. I’m an observer of human psychology and sociology. I’m a firm believer in Logic and Reason. I am an explorer and adventurer on the greatest Journey - Life.

I am a Weaver. Sometimes I weave for others in the form of stories. Most of the time, I weave for myself. I’ve spent a lifetime learning how to weave - not a physical fabric but one of Energy.

As I look at the world today and see the violence and disharmony, I know that I must pass on what I have learned to other students and fellow travelers on the Journey. Weaver Wisdom is not a religion but a philosophy for living. It’s not based on mythology but on science and observation.

This wisdom is not meant to be the absolute definitive answer but a platform on which others can begin their own Journeys by asking questions. I always ask questions. I test and experiment with possible solutions, looking for the most probable answers. If something changes, I reexamine the variables.

I’m a student of other philosophies from many other cultures. I’ve studied Zen and Taoism from the Eastern Philosophies, Native American Medicine Wheel teachings from North America, and explored the hidden principles in many aboriginal cultures from around the globe.

I’m an observer of natural philosophy. I pay attention to the world revolving around me and how all of the pieces fit together. I can see the cracks forming in the intricate web that interconnects all living and nonliving things on this planet. Those cracks have been caused by careless humans who aren’t paying attention. The time has come for the few who are still paying attention to step forward.

It’s time to end the reliance on mythology and take responsibility for our actions. It’s time to become good stewards of our planet and protect all of the life forms we share it with. Weaver Wisdom is a call to action - a call to pay attention.

I live by three simple ideals: Do no harm to myself; Do no harm to others; Do the least amount of harm to the world around me. Throughout this book I’ll provide many examples of these three ideals and how they function. I encourage others to adopt these three simple ideals. If all people in the world followed them, the violence would end and harmony could be restored. That is my greatest hope - peace on earth.

As a mother and a grandmother, I can only hope that someday future generations will not have to face the frightening future that we are seeing ahead of us. Now is the time to stop hiding behind closed eyes. Now is the time to stand together and weave a future of hope for following generations.

Its sole purpose is for the enlightenment of the reader. Let there be no fear, shame, or guilt ever connected with this work.

Universal Concepts and Imagery

I was walking down a beach one day with a couple I’d just met and I’d told them that I’d do my best to answer all their questions. The man immediately asked, So, what’s the meaning of life?

My fast answer, 42. That made them chuckle. Then I launched into a scientific explanation of genetic diversity - the scientific meaning of life. Living organisms endure environmental stress. Only those individuals best suited for the conditions survive to reproduce. The more diverse a gene pool is, the more likely that a species will survive an unexpected stress event.

That sufficed for the moment but I had the feeling that the couple was seriously looking for the real answers to that age old question. I eventually shared with them some of my deeper stories.

Humans have been asking these questions forever. Perhaps it’s part of the human experience. Who are we? What are we? Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? These are Universal Questions and they connect all humans through time and space to Universal Concepts.

All humans can relate to the Universal Concepts of birth and death, to fear, hunger, and pain. We have ideas of good and evil, happiness and sadness, and the ability to create and destroy. These Universal Concepts bind humanity into a whole that defines us as more than just a biological species.

From the earliest recorded writings, humans have sought to answer these questions in stories. In the oldest known story - the Epic of Gilgamesh - people created mythological explanations for the things they couldn’t explain in any other way. These written stories were certainly based on much earlier oral traditions that probably date back to the origins of human language. Many of these stories have been part of religions for thousands of years.

These stories all struggled to answer the Universal Questions based on mythology. It wasn’t until the Greeks began contemplating Logic that these questions moved away from mythical answers. Plato and Aristotle used observation of the natural world to begin the development of scientific theory. Their concepts were still widely accepted thousands of years after their deaths. Their Universal Concepts included theories of matter and energy, light and sound, and astronomy and earth science.

Isaac Newton revolutionized science with his theories concerning matter and energy. These theories are the foundation of physics today. Some of his most vital contributions are the Theory of Conservation of Matter and the Theory of Conservation of Energy as well as his work in explaining Entropy.
