Year of Living the Community: Week Five

A funny thing happened on the way to figuring out next steps for the Community of the Cosmic Person: we realised that by playing to our strengths, we can create a Certificate in Ecozoic Living for ourselves and others. 

One of us has been a professor of English Lit at the Uni for 20 years (recently promoted to Associate Professor - well done, M!) 

Two of us have been writing adult education materials for 15 years.

One of us is in the midst of a Coursera specialisation "Journey of the Universe"

And so the course writing begins...

Year of Living the Community of the Cosmic Person: Week Two

The team watched Journey of the Universe together - it features in a Coursera course Jana is taking. 

Jana writes:
The movie made me think about 4 characteristics of the Cosmic Person - 

• connectedness: it suggests a radically de-personalised sense of being part of the whole and I find this liberating

• subjectivity: the frame of reference changes - one is a subjective part of the universe rather than (or as well as) a particular individual

• communion: the story is about the bond of all things being based on the shared energy and material of the "great flaring forth" (aka the Big Bang)

• differentiation: these two realities - communion and differentiation - are somehow no longer dualistic; being unique configurations of the same energy and material means that both communion and differentiation are equally and concomitantly true
