welcome to the evolving book 2009/2010

Welcome to the new look evolving book! After much discussion about what the evoloving book should contain, I have decided to leave it as a blank canvas. It seems that nobody could work out (including me) how to contribute to my already completed work!

So here it is folks. Version 1.0 of The Evolving Book 2009/2010!!

Oh, sorry, you haven't got a clue what I'm talking about? Well, to give you a quick bit of backround on the project, it was started by me, alan macmillan orr, after I finished "the natural mind - waking up" a personal journey deconstructing everything I thought I was and everything I believed, in order to find out for myself, what it truly meant to be human.

In 2008,I was in a bookshop in australia, looking at all the literature on the shelves. I suddenly realised that as soon as a work (no matter how inspiring) is printed, it is dead, it is in the past. It contains the author's thoughts and wisdom at a specific time.
I knew also, when the last page was written of my own book, that I had already moved on, that I didn't think quite the same about topics I had written previously. I also realised that one person alone could never hope to evolve the way we humans think. We had to do it together - to collaborate, to evolve our thinking, to grow as a species and transcend conditioning and seek truth. That is how the evolving book was born.

So wherever you come from, whatever your language, whatever your thoughts and prejudices, write them down here. You will not be judged for anything you write. Write about `how you feel about the state of the human species, the world, your job, your family, your hates, your loves, your desires, your addictions. Write about anything that will help us evolve our thinking as a species, for it is long since past when we can rely on governments, religions, scientists, or other "learned" humans to help us live in more compassionately and in balance with each other, and the planet we inhabit, silently spinning in space.

Now we have an opportunity to understand how we all think, and why we think the way we do, and through that understanding, the possibility to transcend violence and desire in our minds.

The first book will be published and printed by the natural mind project in january 2011! So get creating, and have fun. I look forward to reading your work and collaborating with you on new work. Alan
