In the same email, Eduard Povel also pointed me to Jan Wicherink from [http://www.soulsofdistortion.nl Souls of Distortion]. An interesting man, resonating with “What the Bleep?”, science and spirituality, and even [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satriani Joe Satriani], one of my favourite guitarists as well. I’ll ping him for a jam session.
Car running on water?
I’ve heard about fuel cells that run on the energy release when hydrogen and oxygen bind in to water. And where you still need energy up front to split the water into these two components.
But Eduard Povel pointed me to ”'[http://www.byronnewenergy.com/ Byron New Energy]”’, also using water, but ‘cosmic charged water’, delivering [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_motion perpetual motion] that may well solve our hunger for energy.
Interesting. Will dive into it.

Co-creation: whoever has the smartest customers wins
Do consumer driven innovation, customer care and Wikinomics work? Well, at Procter & Gamble they do. Read CIO Magazine on Wikinomics.
I’m a ”’big big fan of co-creation”’ and it’s been like this ever since the great Internet technologies like mail, the web and [http://java.net Java] emerged. [http://kk.org Kevin Kelly] already wrote about it when he says: “And whoever has the smartest customers wins in his book New Rules for the New Economy.
Kelly’s strategies:
- Make customers as smart as you are.
- Connect customers to customers.
- All things being equal, choose technology that connects.
- Imagine your customers as employees.

Can ‘Spiritual Computing’ Drive Web 3.0?
Computer scientists and visionaries today see a future in which Web 3.0 will help us engage in virtual battles with cancer cells, keep us physically independent as we age, and achieve a deeper emotional connection to things that matter most to us.
Dana Pavel believes that technology can make a profound difference in our lives if computers can understand more about where we are and how we are feeling.
“At some point you want to do something more than accomplish tasks through technologies and devices,” said the researcher who studies affective and context-aware computing at Nokia’s Helsinki Research Center.
Seems like Nokia is working hard on this. Again, resonates with [http://wiki.aardrock.com/Slimme_Spirituele_Software Martien’s Smart Spiritual Software].

Spiritual Computing – The Mindfulness/Technology Dialogue
Hmmm… although initially interesting, on closer look there does not seem much activity here. Resonates with my Smart Spiritual Software. Wonder how to rekindle this initiative.

Holistic Quantum Relativity Project: Glossary v0.5
Excellent Holistic Quantum Relativity Glossary aiming at providing meanings for those concepts, abstractions, thoughts, observations and views in Spirituality which converge with modern Science and vice-versa.
Holotropic—moving toward wholeness
From DK Matal: The key findings of Quantum Physics point towards Holistic Quantum Relativity and the Holotropic State, especially:
*Dr David Bohm’s work about the universe being made up of an “interconnected unbroken wholeness”;
*The Non-Locality phenomena, ie, Bell’s Theorem; and
*The ‘Observer Effect’ implying that consciousness underlies all reality.
Points 1, 2 and 3—taken together—have striking parallels with the timeless spiritual concepts that all reality is the manifestation of an Infinite Singularity—Creative Principle—which we may choose to name Self-Designing Source, Supra-Universal Consciousness, Divine Principle or God. This demonstrates that Quantum Physics is moving the boundaries of our thinking towards the Holotropic State. Holotropic means “moving toward wholeness.” [Origin: Greek “Holos” = whole and “Trepein” = moving in the direction of]
Linking scientific paradigms
From Slashdot:
Here is a giant chart mapping relationships among scientific paradigms, as published in the journal Nature.
Interesting to see the void between the soft human/social (red) and hard, materialistic scientific (blue) science scapes being bridged by computer and earth sciences. Wonder what will fill that void and when. Want to see the map extended to philosophy, religion and spirtuality as well.
