A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything

Cyd Ropp
2017-05-05 00:00:00 +0000

“Our universe is a self-contained toroidal bubble of consciousness afloat in the metaversal sea. Its organizational schema is wrapped around our expanding universe, holding us in, holding infinity out. We experience this holding force of containment and coherence as love. We experience the outward, expulsive force of material manifestation as joy.”

Nonviolent Communication Principles

2017-03-30 00:00:00 +0000

“Nonviolent Communication is the integration of 4 things:

  • Consciousness: a set of principles that support living a life of empathy, care, courage, and authenticity
  • Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or distance
  • Communication: knowing how to ask for what we want, how to hear others even in disagreement, and how to move toward solutions that work for all
  • Means of influence: sharing ‘power with others’ rather than using ‘power over others’”
