Download or read book Ten Pulses of Evolution written by Michael A. Susko and published by AllrOneofUs Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work offers a novel way to map evolutionary time from life's origin to the first humans. Rather than using a traditional, linear scale in which events bunch up toward the end, a logarithmic scale is employed that expands our resolution as we come to the present. Such a scale allows us to detect patterns that would otherwise be invisible and arrange evolutionary events in memorable fashion. The basic concept of logarithms is not complicated, as we will simply halve units as we move from the past to the present in order to highlight major evolutionary change. Thus, we find the start of life to be approximately four billion years ago, the nucleated cell at two billion years ago, complex multicellularity at one billion years ago, and so on. Remarkably, we find the major events of evolution, along with the certainty of supporting evidence, to be pulsed with logarithmic regularity. This chart also reveals that each Major Node represents change in three major arenas, making for significant leaps in consciousness, gains in mobility, and increased social connectivity. Come, take this evolutionary journey and discover the surprising pattern of logarithmic time, with changes that would seem to have no end.

Download or read book A Rosetta Key For History written by Michael A. Susko and published by AllrOneofUs Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores the use of a time chart based on generations as a way to understand history. A sole reliance on yearly dating tends to obscure the historical reality and deter us from further exploration. However, patterns are revealed if we number generations, and we become intrigued by the connections and hypotheses raised. The author uses 15-year intervals to date events and mark when people turn 30 and tend to enter history. The 15-year generational interval was first used by the medieval historian, Bede, and later advocated by Ortega E Gasset, a leading Spanish philosopher of the 20th century. In brief, the phases of history found are: 1) A partly invisible beginning phase; 0-15 generations; 2) An establishment phase at 15/20 generations; 3) A consolidating and opening up stage at 30 generations; 4) A crisis and creativity phase at 40 generations; 5) An empire and inclusionary phase at 50 generations; and 6) Renewal or rigidification phase at the 60 generational node. Importantly, special attention is given to the often neglected 30th generational period, in which an openess to beauty and light prevade. Interestingly, these phases also resonate with the human life cycle. The tour of cultures covered includes ancient Egypt, Israel-Judah, Rome, and the Medieval-Modern. Taking us into contemporary times, America/United States is addressed in a second volume to this work.You are invited to go on an intriguing journey in which generational patterning becomes a Rosetta key for understanding history.

Download or read book A Rosetta Key for U S History written by Michael A. Susko and published by AllrOneofUs Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores a generational history from America's Colonial period to the United States of contemporary times. A novel historical approach will rely on generational markers every 15th year, rather than yearly astronomical dates. This method will make history more accessible and its patterns more apparent. Identified from cultures presented in an earlier volume, the phasings are: 1) "Invisible" Beginnings; 2) Establishment and Testing; 3) Novel Consolidation and Opening Up, 4) Crisis and Creativity; 5) Empire and Inclusion, and 6) Rigidification or Renewal. This history does not seek to hide or obscure the shadow side of America, nor does it fail to present beauty and light, especially during the 30s generational phase. One discovery prompted by this generational time chart was to more fully consider the importance of New Spain in understanding U.S. history. A second and related theme is inclusion of the Indigenous, whose influence extends to all phases of American history. Come journey with us and experience historical events and people's lives generation by generation, and see how they fit into historical phases. Such an awareness, the author contends, will help us to make the generational choice of our times.

Download or read book Life s Dynamic Vulnerability written by Michael A. Susko and published by AllrOneofUs Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work offers new metaphors to understand our biological world, one more in accord with scientific evidence, more in harmony with preserving our planet, and one which leads us to live fuller lives. First, it recognizes a "natural extravagance," that life often exceeds our expectation in terms of number, variety, beauty, and capacity for change. Our ability to understand and even to categorize life's many manifestations is often beyond our reach. Such extravagance is accompanied by an important second dimension, life's dynamic vulnerability. Life needs to take in outside energy to exist and is acutely sensitive to the environment with its many vagaries. This vulnerability is paradoxically linked to a dynamism which leads to evolutionary novelty. Rather than emphasizing the end state of evolution in terms of "fitness," this work focuses on the vulnerable process of change itself. In re-envisioning biology, more accurate to the onrush of current discoveries, we offer a vision that better protects and preserves our world. The issue at hand is nothing less than our evolutionary future.
