THE DRIVING FORCE OF KNOWING YOUR PURPOSE

Parallels between retroculture vitality and internet business today.  Divining for success in business

Atlas and E-go Driven have created a most thoughtful and effective program which I would call Cosmic.  The content and challenges of The Social Skills University hit me with a a particular excellent email today although I don't think they address my particular take except maybe in the advance teachings on the subject.  They offer levels.  More about my take later, but first, take a look or join them here :       https://atlasegodriven.gumroad.com/l/SSU

Today's email was about adding the toss of a dice to make decisions that are not predictable and will throw off the opposition.   

Reminds me of an article Taylor Pearson wrote that reviews  "Tempo: timing, tactics and strategy in narrative-driven decision-making" by Venkatesh Guru Rao. Check Taylor's review here : https://taylorpearson.me/bookreview/tempo/
"Tempo is a look at decision-making that focuses on narrative as opposed to a more traditional “calculative rationality” that you see in most decision making research. Rather than focusing on how to be more “rational,” it acknowledges and embraces the idea that humans are not dispassionate calculators."
 
"Rather, we rely heavily on narrative and story to make decisions about a world that is so complex we could not possibly engage in rational calculation even if we wanted to. Starting from this premise, it looks at how we can embrace and improve our ‘irrational’ decision-making."

My particular interest in the 'dice' mentioned by Atlas and this review by Taylor Pearson relates to my comprehension of further elucidation of my Divination articles here https://alankw.gumroad.com/l/xqqrk and my current project with making a set of hands on learning cards in my Hyperborean Triumph series https://alankw.gumroad.com/l/pojmg

For myself and others I know Divination does indeed contact Higher Guidance from our advances selves and Conscious entities in the Multiverse.  But I know there are many who doubt that reality and will make decisions using Divinatory methods as simply means of using randomness.  To each his own.  Randomness is indeed a feature of the Multiverse.  Not only will randomness throw off your adversaries but it will also cause you to be less restricted and predictable to yourself.  Allowances are made for learning narratives.

Learning narratives that are useful toward triumph is what my two Futhark card set is all about.  https://alankw.gumroad.com/l/ijjya

 

The mutually supportive and teleological aspects of different accounts on Twitter or other internet locations is a phenomenon that has Retroculture constellations that I recognize from a prosperous era.  

 

General Patton who visited my father's mortar infantry unit during action at the Battle of the Bulge.

A significant retroculture constellation with me was something I watched as it happened.  Men who had fought in a war and women who had also survived hard times were bonded in operational partnerships of work and income.  Building and dwelling. Something was moving and shaking in worlds being built and sustained with vitality. The constellations aspects were how each found an orbit and those orbits were around a central purpose.  A man who understood land contracts would create a site for another man to use his architect skills in designing a home.  Carpenters and home buyers both liked the features of stone and brick masonry.  

In the late 1940s, furnaces had brick chimneys and there were more decorative fireplaces being built.  My father found he liked laying brick and the masonry aspects of home building.  His brother, the architect, began designing houses that featured more of the brick and stone features of Frank Lloyd Wright style homes.  That was uncle Richard's school of training in Chicago.  So all three of the mentioned home building abilities found expression in creating ecologically considerate and aesthetic suburbs called "The Elms" because they set aside a city park of elm trees on a rolling brook.   

They  people knew each other as war veterans and survivors of hard times.  A man bought land with gravel and started an excavating business.  He could dig your basement and supply the gravel for driveway sub base.  A customer for the finer homes built a successful grocery business and moved into The Elms.  Next was Cloverdale Drive which was on a loop of quiet traffic rather than square intersecting streets.  Christmas might find them meeting downtown as they shopped and swapped stories.  Carols arose from church rehearsals.   

I say all this because something similar is happening in the online world of people who have aspirations in common and support each other in their unique ways.  Some of you know that I've written "Retrofuturist America" articles based upon the "Archeofuturism" of the late Guillaume Faye and found "Retroculture" by William S. Lind to be a defining work on how to build parallel structures of culture and economics that are outside and beyond the ruling elite of today.  The internet can be a retroculture in the best sense.
