There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality. ~ Pablo Picasso

A rather elaborate and amusing metaphor by Terence Mckenna: Culture is your operating system

[Jana]

In dealing with an obsolete and dysfunctional cultural operating system we have to be willing to "unplug" from the existing one and remain in creative limbo, or quantum space, until informed by new currents of being. This is an art of clearing, detoxing, fasting, resting, waiting, sensing, dreaming and exploring.
• Erich Fromm said people would rather have certainty than freedom, and uncertainty is necessary to impel one to unfold their power with creativity and courage. As Fromm ventured, "creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties."

Very cool Elizabeth Gilbert video Michael thanks
Charles L. Whitfield said that the child within is that part of us which is ultimately alive, energetic, creative and fulfilled; it is our real self, who we truly are. Maintaining the sense of the happy inner child throughout life is the mark of the integrated genius…genius being purely the expression of our real self, who we truly are. How do we continue to keep the inner child strong and healthy in a dysfunctional cultural family? Perhaps one of the ways that we can preserve the aliveness of the Muse is by clearly looking at the conceptual and behavioral mechanisms of the anti-creative bias in the trance of the machineconomy. If we anticipate the eminent emergence of the visionary, mystic culture, where commercial enterprise means giving ones greatest gift—then we can resist being deflated by the anger and fear of those who have as yet failed to tap into their greatness. Greatness is the ability to express your higher nature in every though, gesture and action. We should not have to apologize for being all that we are, and giving all that we have got…for that is the ultimate expression of our humanity. It is what we are here for after all.

The creation of the new global spiritual civilization requires that each of us nurture and cultivate the child within, our real self, who we truly are. At first we may have to push forth and wildly presume to show up regardless, within a hostile community who challenges us with “Who do you think you are to express the light?” But we know that if each of us sets spirit free in this manner, only then can we generate society that expedites and doesn’t hinder the liberation and care of the inner child. The creative child knows that the term “expert” belongs to the dying regime of the machineconomy. The innocence and awe of the inner child, at one with the mystery, knows that spirit is for the living and that to be fully engaged in the mystery is to be a perpetual student of life in an infinitely expanding continuum.

Hey that's really cool Francis!! 

Interesting take on a root cause of the current financial problem:

[Francis]

So the root cause of the crisis is excessive household debt? I think that's half the story. Some people borrowed more than they could pay back and others lent people money that those borrowers couldn't pay back. Of course this will always happen, but a lack of any regulation or apparent consequences led to a rampant and wholesale lack of prudence. What would Freddie King say?

[jimtzu]

the key is that the system turned into a debt based economy, which only benefits the ones controlling the money.  corporate or household, doesn't matter.. the energy of the money only goes in one direction.
