'Knowledge is power'.

Knowledge is a Value in modern culture. Knowledge has worth in the modern culture gameworld. You have to know otherwise, you might be shamed, ridiculed, humiliated, punished, ...

'Time is Money'

Money is the main Value in modern culture.

NOTE: Below is an excerpt from an article by Clinton Callahan called Journey At The End Of The World based on an experiment done with the Gaian Road Team in Bali on 21 December 2012, that date and time when some thought the world might cease to exist. The full article is HERE.

Then I ask, “And how do we change human values so we can become sustainable?”

She smiles and says, “Change your own values. Enjoy the hell out of the benefits of your new values no matter where you go. Keep talking about your new values and how you got them.”

I say, “Thanks…”

She says, “Come back anytime,” and smiles goodbye. Then I am again sitting inside the bamboo pyramid in Bali, feeling the warm back-to-back connection in four-person Gaian Road Team journey configuration.

Suddenly the download of new values coming to humanity enters the top of the pyramid and impacts my energetic body:

• Valuing being-with more than being right.
• Valuing having options more than having possessions.
• Valuing spaces of nothingness and possibility more than knowing.
• Valuing experiments and discovery-journeys more than certainty.
• Valuing presence more than feeling in control.
• Valuing fluidity and connectedness more than power.
• Valuing see-clarity more than security…

Knowledge is not a Value of Next Culture. 'To Know' in Next Culture is third prize.

You can rewire your relationship to the Knowledge so that it no longer a Value in your self-designed culture.

This would take for you to extract yourself from relating to knowledge as something valuable.

For example, by practicing the ecstatic skill of Not Knowing. You might notice that Not Knowing opens the door to Discovery, Creation, Groundlessness, Liquid State, Possibility, etc...

As you extract yourself from valuing Knowledge, you might start noticing other Modern Culture Values that you were told to support such as Money, Ownership, Status, Success, Long Life, ...

What Values does your Culture support?
