Deep dives into the nature of being
Centerpath’s first official seminar occurred last Thursday at the Hive in Bangkok. It was a wonderful evening—and what a fantastic crowd of spiritual seers attended!
We discussed how order, beauty, and harmony arise in nature. We discussed how our lives are patterned in the same way as nature—and how through understanding this connection; we’re able to put nature’s wisdom to good work in our lives.
The Centerpath revolution has begun and is gaining momentum–one heart at a time.
I’m pleased to announce my upcoming FREE seminar at the Hive on Thursday, 21-Sep-17 at 7 p.m.
If you want to learn more about the universe and life…if you want to put nature’s wisdoms to work in your life…if you want to begin your life afresh…if you want to be happy…than Centerpath is for you.
Through its simple yet wide ranging, Centerpath promises to heal our weary hearts and elevate our experience to higher planes of being. Come join the Centerpath Spiritual Revolution!
See you at The Hive!

Everything does have a center—atoms, cells, sentences, societies, and solar systems.
Protons and neutrons are not what you think. They are not simple spherical ‘balls’ as most suspect.
Protons and nucleons are actually comprised of dense cloud of particles (both real and virtual) keyed to a deeply attractive, void-like center perpetuating the swarm as the following passage from Fritjof Capra’s book the Tao of Physics succinctly describes.
“nucleons are, in fact, emitting and absorbing virtual particles all the time. According to field theory, they have to be regarded as centers of continuous activity surrounded by clouds of virtual particles”
And though we tend to associate chaos with the term swarm, the relationships amongst subatomic particles is in fact highly organized and symmetrical. Known as Meson symmetry, the accompanying diagrams depicts the dualistically arranged almost fulcrum-like arrangement of particles about their center.
It’s interesting to note the Meson Symmetry figure closely resembles Taoism’s I Ching symbol intended to represent the natural order of things which, incredibly enough was developed thousands of years before the tools of science were sophisticated enough to detect the minute details of subatomic particles!

Without knowing it we are participating in the cosmic whole forming dance practically every moment we’re in the company of another. For from the moment we simply share something in common we have created something larger in which we are than only a part –united through the central item we share.
And the centers that unite us are many. They might be a shared proximity or locale, clasped hands, a conversation, friendship, mutual respect, give and take, love, eye contact, and competition or cooperation for a desired objective. They can also be shared meanings, ‘identity’, and common purposes which are especially operative at larger ‘scale’ groupings (we’ll examine more on this later).
But in each case the sharing of common mental and physical ‘spaces’ does the same thing –it merges its participants into a larger single ‘organism’. On the level of two individuals such organisms are commonly referred to as friends, couples, acquaintances, associates, etc. but also strangers who perchance to strike up a simple conversation.
On larger scale groupings it is anytime people circle around the same object such as at concerts, rubber necking toward an accident, reading the same news, and around common rituals and symbols.
One plus one indeed equals one through the dynamic whole forging dynamic of the universe as reflected in the Center Ordering Principle.
Starting this week I’ll begin posting blogs related to my e-book, Encyclopedia Centerpath. See the first post here!
Each post will examine a different section of Encyclopedia Centerpath. We’ll start with Chapter 5 related to how humans group since it offers some of the neatest examples of how Centerpath relates to our lives.
I think you’ll enjoy Encyclopedia Centerpath and stand to gain a wealth of insight and knowledge. I encourage you ‘take in’ the subjects (approx. one post every two weeks) and share it with family and friends.
Finally—in preparation you may want to check out one of these Centerpath primers to jumpstart your Centerpath knowledge (Free Introduction to Centerpath or this Q&A to Centerpath). However even without an intimate knowledge of Centerpath you can easily follow the various mini-stories. Hope you find something to your liking!
I hope you find the following excerpt from my book Awaken fun and inspiring.
“It’s nearly impossible to ascend mountaintops or journey inward to your heart if you’re continually distracted by others and pop culture. To arrive at new and enlightening destinations, you’ll need to take quiet time for yourself.
Sharing and being with others is one of life’s greatest joys. However, it also keeps us from getting to know ourselves better and from growing. This doesn’t mean you need to become a hermit, but it does mean that you will need to dedicate more time to yourself. To achieve this, make it a point to find quiet spaces and time just for yourself. Stop at a park on the way home and take a walk. Sit in a coffee shop and take notes or read a great novel.
The same goes for your interactions with pop culture. If you are continually engaged in the negativity of news and the competition culture, your mind will never find the time to stretch and relax.
To attain higher states of awareness, it’s recommended that you largely limit your ties to the machine. Turn off and walk away from the TV and the ridiculous hype and expectations it creates. Keep the competition culture at bay by drastically reducing your viewing of sports and competition TV such as the endless stream of reality based shows. Fill all your newfound time with more meaningful pursuits such as art, books, and walks in nature.
Overtime you will begin to feel the positive changes. You will begin growing again. You will start to re-experience the rich aroma of life. Take it in, and bathe in its glory. Take another step closer to becoming aware.”
