Purpose Lab Resources

My life's purpose was activated in me by sociology professor and mentor, Dr. Jeffrey Hadden who asked us to solve a sociology problem. Then in 1984, a mentor of mine, Dr. David Tatum, suggested that I read a series of books to help develop the idea of the Holomovement. I was just fortunate enough to be in a couple of places with some wonderful mentors to give me the hints for the next pieces on the path and put a few concepts together.

My purpose has evolved in this up and down flowing process over many, many decades. But I would say 2019 was when I really decided I was it was my life calling and I would give it everything I could. We're moving in the flow of the entirety of existence. This is a sensation that can spread very quickly. It's a great idea whose time has come. It was always there. And as it awakens within us, I think it will calm down the conflicts and society and bring us together and it will be like a soothing wave of comfort, a deeper understanding of meaning that you know, we're not just calculating our material accumulation of possessions or money or something in life that we're accumulating this blessed experience of sharing the wonder.

I was deeply influenced by the book Wholeness in the Implicate Order by physicist David Bohm. And in that book, I came across the word Holomovement, and that was definitely in a ha moment. I thought, Yeah, that's it. One beautiful holistic word that connects in Bowen's terms the implicate order, the source of consciousness with the explicate order. This physical reality around us seemingly very different, yet connected by a flow of wholeness that he called the whole of movement. And so we can see that no matter how separate or different things seem, they are all one. And this concept seemed surprise, really profound, yet simple. And one word describing the whole. By a man like David Bowen, who dedicated his life to furthering human understanding and above all, finding the secrets of the infinite potential in the quantum field and explaining that to us. I felt it was a very apt term to do and describe this hub of the wheel. So I put that all together. That was back in 1984. I developed the wave theory and the whole levels of consciousness and I really had the idea quite clear in my mind and then realized now I have to get to work and really find my purpose in life practical purpose, life work, generate some resources.

I had a vision and I knew then it was time to get started and then the steps evolved and came to me over the years.

It took me 30 years or so to generate and re-implement my theories while I was busy organizing cultural exchange and other business activities. So everything takes its time. The whole movement's been a work in motion since the beginning of the universe. I was just fortunate enough to be in a couple of places with some wonderful mentors to give me the hints for the next pieces on the path and put a few concepts together.

So it's really taking our skill set and our talents and therefore our joy and combining that with service to the whole to make existence for humanity more thriving, more promising, and turn things around and taking the two and moving them together and the interface between service to the whole, combined with our own individual skill set and loving and longings.

So I'm just so pleased that I have so many wonderful people in my life that I wouldn't be here or be accomplishing or doing any of this without the support, love and understanding of so many others. So nothing about my life is a project of my own or an accomplishment of my own. It's only been my ability to try and understand the process and the feelings and flow with others and find a way that we can all work together and respect and love and reason.

You just have to stay on the path. There'll be years here and there where things get thrown out of whack and it seems difficult to stay true to yourself. We'll all find a way.

I was studying in France at the Sorbonne University for a while, and I was taking this course on French civilization and theater, and the teacher gave us one main paper to write for the entire course, and it was to compare the use of irony between Voltaire and a Romanian playwright named Eugene Ionesco. And so we were supposed to use to compare the use of irony by Voltaren, Ionesco talked about what irony is, how they both used it, what the differences were, and expound on that. Well, I ended up writing a dialog as if Voltaire and Ionesco were together in the same place in time, and they were having a debate between themselves about irony. And it was actually, if I do say so myself, incredibly funny. I spent hours and hours researching and it was in French. I had to look up all these words. I did puns, plays on words. The whole thing was about irony squared and personified. And I remember giving it to my roommate. He read it. He said, This is the most hilarious thing I've ever said. But you had an incredible sense of both the Spirit of Voltaire and he and Ionesco. And so I was so deeply proud of this paper and I turned it in. And the day I got it back from the professor, there were big red writings on it and said, This paper can't even be graded because it's not done in the tradition of French academics and is unacceptable and you'll have to rewrite it. And I was really distraught and not too happy after all that. And I argued with the teacher. I said, You don't understand. Isn't the exercise of this to gain a deeper understanding of Voltaire Ionesco, the problems of society, how irony helps us to smooth those things out and make it aware to others in a kinder, more sort of way. Didn't I demonstrate that? I think I understand the idea. There he said, "You can't write a make believe play dialog between two people that didn't go and say, No, it's not acceptable." So anyway, I was walking home after that discussion with with my roommate and he said, That's terrible. Wh

My purpose and curiosity about the Holomovement always stayed with me, and would never go away. In fact, it grew. I was motivated to keep researching, reading, thinking, for over 40 years.

My purpose, and the whole Holomovement concept came to me through the impetus of a professor in college and was actually sociology professor, Dr. Jeffrey Hadden. And he explained to our class that there were enormous challenges facing the world. This was way back in the 1970s. So his ideas were rather revolutionary at the time, and he described an exponential graph over time and quantities on the vertical axis. And he plotted in all kinds of components of quantities world population, environmental deterioration, technology, G, armament growth. And he put them all together and he showed that everything is time. If we go back to the year zero and we graph it slowly, all of these quantities grow slowly. And then as we hit the 20th century, the curve goes straight upwards in the growth of many factors. Some could be beneficial technology we don't know yet, but others population, environmental deterioration, armaments and and such are clearly negative indicators. And what he said is we're running literally out of time as the graph moves straight upwards on the exponential curve, the time graph falls out of the picture. So a very clear message there that we're literally running out of time. And he proposed to the class that as sociology students, we needed to find a solution. What could we as individuals do or contribute in our life to help resolve this matter crisis? And that was our assignment. So that's what really got me thinking about this. And I described at the time in my paper for that course that it had to be some kind of wheel and that all the spokes of the wheels were different contributors or organizations, like minded entities contributing. And that my work should be to create a solid hub to connect the spokes of the wheel. So it would flow. It would work and the hub would hold it all together. So that was the original concept.
