This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 30, 2007:
Spiritual software. By spiritual, I just mean: what works best / optimally with the human heart/mind/soul. Right now, we're in the stone ages - ok bronze age... we are seeing some decent tools emerge.
Tell me, when you first started playing with a computer, did you, like me, think to yourself... gosh, this thing has the potential to hold all my dreams! And to help me make them come true!
All the colorful icons, all the options, all the places to go, so many things already built... surely there were the materials here to build the blueprints for your future life!
And then what? Somehow we fell from that high (which I'm telling you now was not a fantasy) to the routine of check email, hit the news sites, see who's on IM, head drooping, held up by your palm.
What's missing? Your lack of motivation to complete a computer science degree, or to learn the art of hacking? Uh, no. It's the failure of those computer scientists and hackers to give you tools beyond the run-of-the-mill - and to make them part of your computer, right out of the box.
Zaadz is an inspiration, no? Because finally one place took seriously the notion of spiritual people and what they really want to share.
The next step is to take seriously the notion of spiritual people and what they really want to create, from the resonances of their own heart.
This company will eat Microsoft and its Office for lunch. Our "suite of tools" would include the following:
* "Snap in philosophies" from your favorite thinker - Deepak, Marianne, Covey, Gerber, Buffett, Walsch, Krishnamurti - all can become your Companions - and just as easy to add your own as it is to add quotes to Zaadz - Pick the thought systems that stimulate you most - the software will put it to ultimate use
* Resonance collector - helps you recollect the 'clues' you've received in life, and assemble them, revealing whatever picture is forming in your consciousness
* Resonance finder - helps you locate gardens to visit, online and in real world, to obtain more resonances
* The ability to jot notes anywhere, in any form that stimulates you - a journal, an index card, a sticky, a napkin - from groceries to inspirations - and store them in whatever way works best: folders, filing cabinets, stacks, more
* Print and go with your notes - and scan them back in, either through your scanner-printer or a digital picture
* A personal Companion - part counsellor, part co-founder of your dream, they'll continually provide great questions to work on, fill in things you've left partially done, and bring things to your attention - all at whatever level of interaction you prefer: chatty or strong & silent :)
* Greyprints - the ability to start 2, 5, 10 projects, and work on them as inspiration arises - build them gradually into blueprints, as you are taught by your Companions
* Upload to Zaadz, of course! :)
* And then all the really neat ideas that I just can't share on a public blog :D
How's that sound so far?

I'd like to be in on the bottom floor of this one…awesome!
how about jacking into a virtual world ala second life where people can do some wild divine biofeedback training? :)
Dude! I said not on a public blog!! :)
I AM ONE of those that has never fallen from THAT high but does the wild divine biofeedback training require a balloon pilot's license ?
Your list sounds fine to me and fits with this bearing in mind this …
BUT … PRAY - WHY NOT - on a public blog ? … discussing THINGS in a public place is often the best thing to do … but IT depends HOW serious WE ALL are in changing the world
Oh, it was just a little humor… the ideas are never ceasing, and when they really apply well to the problem (bringing a person in touch with resonance and then moving forward from there, via good software), they all seem to repeat and support the goal.
As far as seriousness, I'm (always) starting from where I am, doing what makes most sense today, never ignoring the background of the bigger picture, but also never feeling so rushed that I don't make my best innovative contribution to today. In the last year, I found zaadz, and it turns out that my gifts are being warmly welcomed and integrated…
Because today is today, Zaadz is the most serious and most cherished task on my plate. Everything else I've dreamed will come, based on how well I do in these days - if the dream is to come, it will be connected to what is now and most vital. I build Zaadz, and by building Zaadz, which is as close to my heart as anything I've known in this field, anything that shares the dream (which I think my dreams do touch) will find manifestation. In a form that I'm sure will be quite different, but quite familiar.
Starting from where I AM, doing what makes most sense today, never ignoring the background of the bigger picture, but also never feeling so rushed that I don't make my best innovative contribution to today -
should be OUR motto @zaadz for 2007 & beyond
Back to the humor:
hey, Scottie, can you “beam that guy up and send him over without scrambling his brains/'
I know computer is the medium. I want tomorrow's tools today because the stone age is “drag on my dreaming”!
Honestly, I suffer as I learn. The systems are not well connected and barely becoming user friendly enough for my tastes….then again, I've always been a gourmet nut.
I live about 10 years in the future today…I see as obvious what others start to accept in about 10 years…it's been that way since I've been a kid, only now I see the pattern!
Even as I post, I use a 'crippled text box” with only a spellchecker, thank GOD for that. I just plug along with what I got until it gets better!
All to Love, Sharon
