Upcoming Event: Ethereum Merge

This is tuesday September 13, ethereum will transition from proof of work to proof of stake in a day or so.

Why is it important? It’s been a talking point of evolution for the ethereum blockchain since it’s beginnings in July 2015. What it does is change how new blocks are chosen, moving from proof of work (lots of computers using a lot of electricity), to proof of stake (basically a lottery from stake holders). It saves a lot of electricity.

Bitcoin (the largest cryptocurrency) also runs on proof of work, but there are no current plans to migrate it to proof of stake.

Cryptocurrency is a financial and technological product (fintech). Money goes everywhere! And now technology is developing means for working with money, in terms of crypto tech. It will disrupt traditional finance like the internet is disrupting newspapers for instance.

Read Excerpts from Prior Unity

The message of the book Prior Unity is that the impulse to peaceful, cooperative coexistence is humanity’s “true north.” The impulse comes from our root-intelligence as one single species, and, at the same time, reflects the inherent unity of all life.

Read excerpts from Prior Unity here:

Introduction: The Real Revolution

The ego-Culture of Separateness and The egoless Culture of Prior Unity

Be Part of Humankind First

The Urge To Participate

The “Everybody Force”

No Enemies

“It is now time for humankind-as-a-whole—everybody-all-at-once—to assume integral responsibility for the human species on Earth. This is really the first time in all of human history that humankind has even been in the position to consider this. Simultaneously, humankind is in the position of having no choice but to deal with it.”

– The World-Friend Adi Da,

The Urge To Participate

Prior Unity
Prior Unity

The fundamental urge of humankind-as-a-whole is to participate—not to be shut down, not to be thrown back on themselves, not to be treated merely as consumers who want this, that, and the other thing.

People want the opportunity of participation.

All over the world, the energy of participation is what should be tapped.

Instead of addressing everybody in terms of their problems, their “self”-interest, their consumer mentality, their egoity, address them as people who are patterns of energy wanting to participate.

The human world is an energy of participation.

Therefore, it needs a pattern by which people can participate.

The pattern must be provided.

–by The World-Friend, Adi Da, from Prior Unity
