Defense of Texting

A 'Happening' is a great, big, multimedia party with a theme, where people come to experience the message.
It always involves audience participation in an atmosphere of community, enthusiasm and purpose.

I am so excited to share Sensual Thinking that  steam is coming out of my ears. Thinking with your senses and feeling with your mind is living a dynamic, compelling, charged  360° journey. It’s  amazing. We're creating a series of Curious#Happenings to share the experience. I have been writing a book, this blog and building the sensualthinking.com website share to the word. My usual wired writing mind is tired; so I’m going to rant off of the top of my head:

Proper spelling is hard for me. I’m one of those people who confuses spell check.  I’ve gotten better but still, am most comfortable spelling creatively. Texting suits me. The point is that we text clear emotion-driven and everyday business communication effectively. Texting saves time, keeps channels open and is as detailed as necessary to communicate clearly.  And it's sensual- we do it with our fingers and receive it with our eyes.

Even though I love words, I happily embrace the logic and directness of texting. It’s so efficient and clean. I know it saves me time! That’s the beauty of technology – it shreds outdated social conventions. Time moves faster and we connect more efficiently.

Politeness – while obviously an essential part of human respect – when overdone, is known by other words like bulls-- or sometimes it’s called social 'niceties’. Often, casual conventional communication is a time waster because there is no heart behind it. Our social conventions are so old, they’re corrupt. Human respect needs to drive our social connections. Respect is something we feel, not someone's dogma. Feeling is sensual. This is what’s inspired me to create the Curious#Happenings.

Time is how we measure life. It's critical for success and satisfaction. When you think with your senses and feel with your mind, it’s like getting every green light even when you’re not in a hurry. Technology and sensual thinking filter out stuff that distorts and dulls communication. Sensual thinking is how we grab time with our eyes and hands. It's a new way of time surfing where time expands and we have what we need.

Some people of the Baby Boomer generation feel texting is ending important social conventions. I disagree. No one claims it’s a replacement for conversation, but it’s obviously a powerful tool for effective, efficient communication. Texting overrides decayed conventions to replace them with important human needs like directness, immediacy and comfort. It’s much more cerebral to text than to remember how to spell correctly. 

I’m thankful for technology and I love the excitement and open-ended potential of change.

Change = The New Normal.


 Sensual Thinking is your 360 °connection. 

It is the multi-media reality check that links potential with change

Thinking sensually is a rhythm of constant reinvention.

Our 5 senses keep us directly in tune with the present so that we don't go through red lights, walk into walls or drink scalding hot tea. Our 6th sense, intuition, is the way we feel with our mind to clear away psychological noise in order to tune-in to, identify and respond to important signals.
With intuitive icons, like courage, dignity and foresight, we easily recognize long-term priorities. Thinking sensually creatively guides enduring solutions to social problems.
.
Sensual thinking is holistic. It's a 360 ° portal to the big picture of who we are. Thinking with your senses and feeling with your mind reboots perspective, 24/7. This keeps you clear about priorities no matter what happens. Thinking with sensually keep us in sync with the moment.  Being in sync with change is the natural way to see potential, hazard and best opportunities. Using your 6th sense taps into iconic values and filters hype. It's the spontaneous way to safely, productively navigate change.

Search engine living and multi-task thinking are bring the big picture into focus. Linear thinking and singular focus, is 20th Century. Today, we know that if we google for an answer, the right one will be the one that feels right. We are already thinking with our senses. We can sense balance and justice.

Much travesty of the past was the result of physical and intellectual isolation. Thanks to the interwebs, today is a time of global connection. We are one world. We hear still, small voices and respond with our own. There is power in numbers.

Our world vision is transparent. We don't like injustice. Slowly, the bullies are becoming out numbered by the masses. The new Humanitarian age is not going to happen overnight, but change for the greater good is already happening every day.

We have a new way to see the future. Because today we text, skype, blog, ignore time zones and have no limit on content access, we are free! Use your freedom wisely. The important thing we have in common is our ability to use our connections for the common good.

In the flux of change, using your senses with your mind will make a difference. You can screen and filter choices and decisions while staying in touch with the big picture. Accessing the power of all 6 senses is not a secret for a select few monks and it's not for 'intellectuals'. It's so simple that every child does it.

Your unique perspective of connection and the power to create the future is fueled by the times we live. Vibrations through your eyes, hands, a bud in your ear or the ‘phone’ in your pocket, make you an important part of today. Our new Humanitarian age is full of adventure and risk. Thinking sensually is the way to fortify yourself with concrete skills and strategies to cross the bridge of change.

CH-Ch-changes.


Jane Bernard : Philosopher                                                         BOOMER REVIVAL

Reality Check : 360° Degree Thinking

It’s time to crack open the bottle of champagne.  A ripple is coming that never stops - a transcendental SOR, an exhale, good vibrations. A new way of thinking is born.

Using 20th Century linear thinking is impotent. Like a snake shedding dried skin, we are rubbing it off. The age of multi-media  search engine thinking takes what hippies were talking about in the 60’s to the next level. Search engine technology has opened our minds to the possibility that anything is possible. 360° Thinking is Sensual Thinking - an organic access, guide and road map to quality living.

Technology is cool and so are we. Yes, with sensual thinking there is salacious detail : a different way of intimacy and understanding that would make Mr. Spock blush. It's making us more creative and more transparent. 

Curious#happenings will be streamed live or you might be there to experience the comfort of being a sensual, intuitive 360° Thinker. Thinking with our senses and feeling with our minds is how we're becoming intuitive thinkers and communicators. Life is amazing. 

Here's an impressive example:


If you're reading this, you're already part of a revolutionary happening. In fact most people under the age of 30 are natural sensual thinkers. This is a time of change and every generation has change agents. Baby boomers who are still in touch with change will naturally be sensual thinkers.There are a lot of flowers, whole new generations ready to bloom.  Curious#happenings are edu-tainment events to celebrate this wave of change. They are sensual thinking where live music breaking down identity barriers between generations and surprises, combining experience with innovation makes it natural to find new solutions for old problems. 

We're putting together an amazing and exciting team. Musicians, Educators, Doctors, Air Quality experts, Geeks, old hippies  and young thinkers - and that's just scratching the surface. This blog will keep you looped.

Namaste.
