What Now?


If you want to contact us, email "entropypawsed(at sign)yahoo(dot)com" Sorry to make you re-type, but the funny format hopefully saves us from spam via the email address sweep programs that stalk the web.

By way of a circuitous route, we find ourselves currently engaged in our local community, and our personal work is focused on conscious evolution. It was Albert Einstein who said, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." Their appear to be no political or personal belief bounds on this observation.

If you are interested in working on conscious evolution, here is a link

Many are currently engaged in this work. Who you are attracted to is usually a reflection of your current inner state.

Eckhart Tolle talks of Albert Einstein a fair bit, usually as someone unaffected by his celebrity. Here are some more Albert Einstein quotes I found online.

"Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal."

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

"A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be."

"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity."

"It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

"You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created."

Winter 2010 Update

Snowing in the Yew Mountains of West Virginia, and starting to look a bit like the Rockies instead of Appalachians.

Bonnie's daughter Janice is getting married in June. Bonnie has been doing a lot of quilting this past year. Frank has been trying to learn to play guitar for the past couple of years. We are filling our days now with activities other than EntropyPawsed education.

Upon introspection, I believe that a large part of my motivation for the EntropyPawsed project is grounded in vanity; wanting to feel important. Bonnie and I still live the same lifestyle we have been evolving toward over the past fifteen years. However, for the time being anyway, we have decided to abandon the educational aspect. Instead, we are spending increasing amounts of time getting involved in our local community and merely living our lives.

We have taken the decision to drop our website, http://entropypawsed.org. We plan to maintain the blog, and who knows? Maybe we will post here from time to time. Anyone interested in learning more about ecological living, or whatever your choose to call the craziness we have embraced, please feel free to contact us if you have questions or desire further information. Best wishes, Frank & Bonnie
