Von Der Mehden

                                                           I am inwardly EXALTING .   When I checked my numbers this morning I saw that I had received  3,267  views of  4  blogs  which resulted in >>817<< Individual Readers !!   That's never happened .   In the Olden Days I wished that I could fill Von der Mehden Recital Hall, the venue for Freshman Anthropology and later Sociology, a performance space that seats between 420 and 500 .  I am "beside myself" .

                            Thanks to Modern Technology my words are being spread to at least 30 Countries, Nations, Lands and Territories around the Planet .   I Thank my Gentle Readers  for your Interest .

                             We, as in US, the Global Citizenry {and nascent Zen Buddhist Sangha}, have a TREMENDOUS amount of Work ahead of Us .   We need to find out Who we are, and of what we are made, so that we can establish the [a] Foundation upon which to RE-Build a Civilization that FULLY Expresses our Vision of the Future and the Elements needed to construct a SAFE and Prosperous World that includes EVERYONE .  

                             OBVIOUSLY a "Global Consciousness" is required nay DEMANDED if such a vast undertaking is to be Successful .    Elsewhere I have referred to Global Consciousness as COSMIC Consciousness which is a "pet" phrase for me and SOME of my Generation .   "Cosmic Consciousness" was coined in the early 1920's but became Relevant in the early 70's largely because LSD and its sporadic use also became Relevant .   I LOVE using "Cosmic Consciousness" because "IT" can and does include Extra Terrestrials which is deceptive because they are NOT "Earthlings" ->Terrans<- to begin with .
