The Industrial Workers of the World


The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), members of which are commonly termed "Wobblies", is an international, radical labor union that was formed in 1905. The union combines general unionism with industrial unionism, being a general union itself whose members are further organized within the industry of their employment. The philosophy and tactics of the IWW are described as "revolutionary industrial unionism," with ties to both socialist and anarchist labor movements. The origin of the nickname "Wobblies" is uncertain.

The IWW promotes the concept of "One Big Union", and contends that all workers should be united as a social class to supplant capitalism and wage labor with industrial democracy. They are known for the Wobbly Shop model of workplace democracy, in which workers elect their managers and other forms of grassroots democracy (self-management) are implemented. IWW membership does not require that one work in a represented workplace, nor does it exclude membership in another labor union. (read more)

redemption



The Mahavatar is in constant communion with Christ; together they send out vibrations of redemption, and have planned the spiritual technique of salvation for this age.

The work of these two fully-illumined masters–one with the body, and one without it–is to inspire the nations to forsake suicidal wars, race hatreds, religious sectarianism, and the boomerang-evils of materialism.

Babaji is well aware of the trend of modern times, especially of the influence and complexities of Western civilization, and realizes the necessity of spreading the self-liberations of yoga equally in the West and in the East. (read more)

The feeling of discourse

An MRI study reveals that emotion, not fact-sharing, promotes social interaction and facilitates interpersonal understanding. What researchers discovered is that emotions ‘synchronize mental networks’ between individuals. Synchronized network activity focuses attention on shared experience and produces a common framework for understanding. Sharing other people’s emotional state during discourse enables us to perceive, experience and interpret what others say in a like manner ..without separation [ link ].

COUNTERPOINTS

The Exceptional and the Mundane

The dreamer and the realist

The non-conformist and the boyscout

The believer and the skeptic

The romantic and the pragmatic

The obedient and the truant

Each the antithesis of the other, not understanding but strangely drawn to each other.
seeking that which is beyond them, that which sparks their curiosity but their nature cannot allow,

The Mundane, such simplicity and satisfaction with life that mediocrity is acceptable,

The exceptional, such ambition and a thirst for excellence that nothing else is accepted or expected,

Maybe its the beauty in honesty that brings about such purity,
When pretences are put aside, and guards let down.

when people look beyond the obvious, the superficial, that which wasn't built to last
that counterpoints allow themselves to see each other and see themselves in each other,

Falling hopelessly and hopefully for one another, one riding riding on the dreams of the other, the other finding stability in the other's certainty.

The skeptic fascinated and at the same time awed by the believers blind faith in that which he cannot control,
the believer intrigued by the skeptics never ending questions and curiosity about that which he cannot understand,

The obedient secretly admiring the courage of the truant and openly despising his folly,

The non-conformist impressed by the discipline and obedience of the boyscout.

When we learn that we alone cannot suffice, we put away selfish pride, and learn to compromise.
the essence of life lying not in the success of the entity but rather the whole,
if only we could adopt humility, avoid the ambiguity of duplicity, encourage simplicity, and learn to live in perfect symmetry.
