    Heya, I'm Sam Kaplan

    I have recently recreated my environment by leaving Los Angeles and purchasing our first house in the Sierras just outside Yosemite. I look forward to using this transition as a launchpad into developing my skills and craftsmanship to create an interactive art park and retreat center for small groups. I'm passionate about tea and the way that it can build community, and look forward to creating safe spaces for people to grow and play in the physical world. 

    As a founding Citizen, I co-create on many stories, including One Gatherings, One Financial, and many more. You can often find me holding space in https://topia.io/teahouse. 

    I'm always available with an empathetic ear and happy to answer any questions you might have about the cooperative. Be sure to join me for New Citizens 101 on Wednesday's at 9:00am.

    Ascent of Humanity

    'The Ascent of Humanity: Civilization and the Human Sense of Self' by Charles Eisenstein explores the history and potential future of civilization, tracing the converging crises of our age to the illusion of the separate self. In it, Eisenstein argues that our disconnection from one another and the natural world has mislaid the foundations of science, religion, money, technology, economics, medicine, and education as we know them. It has fired our near-pathological pursuit of technological Utopias even as we push ourselves and our planet to the brink of collapse. 

    Age of Reunion is emerging out of the birth pangs of an earth in crisis. Our journey of separation hasn't been a terrible mistake but an evolutionary process and an adventure in self-discovery. Eisenstein sees the possibility of a more beautiful world—not through the extension of millennia-old methods of management and control but by fundamentally reimagining ourselves and our systems. We must shift away from our Babelian efforts to build ever-higher towers to heaven and instead turn out attention to creating a new kind of civilization--one designed for beauty rather than height.

    It hooked me with the opening sentence, "Dedicated to the more beautiful world our hearts tell us is possible.” I am grateful of High Existence for the recommendation (via their newsletter).

    It's a dense, and sometimes distressing read, but I cannot recommend it highly enough.

    Companies that Mimic Life

    'Companies that Mimic Life: Leaders of the Emerging Corporate Renaissance' is a book by Joseph Bragdon that chronicles the radical transformation taking root in the corporate world. 

    Industrial capitalism is broken. The signs transcend national ideologies and are everywhere: climate change; ecological overshoot; financial exhaustion; fraying social safety nets; corporate fraud; government deceit; civic unrest; terrorism; and war. But there is hope. This book tells how transformation is taking root in the corporate world—the last place many would look for solutions.

    The ideal of "organization-as-machine," which has been dominant for hundreds of years into the late 20th century, is giving way to an ideal of "organization-as-Living System." Understanding that everything of value ultimately arises from life, they place a higher value on living assets (people and Nature) than they do on nonliving assets—a practice called Living Asset Stewardship (LAS).

    The operating leverage of LAS resides in the speed of learning and adaptation. LAS is a skill that relies on a heightened corporate consciousness. Consciousness is a unique property of life and so, the more lifelike companies become, the more conscious they become. Companies that mimic life exhibit six lifelike qualities that are present in all life from single-cell organisms to large ecosystems.

    These six qualities are (1) decentralized, self-organizing Networked Structures whos component parts serve the health of the whole; (2)Regenerative Life Strategies that increase opportunities for survival, reproduction, and improvement of cultural DNA; (3) Frugal Instincts that seek to optimize their use of resources; (4) Openness To Feedback that enables adaptive learning; (5) Symbiotic Behaviors that link individual wellbeing in the health of the larger systems in which they exist; and (6) Consciousness of capabilities, interdependencies, and limits.

    Companies that Mimic Life shows the intuitiveness of Ecocentric Capitalism by telling the stories of Unilever, Nucor, United Technologies Corporation, Novo Nordisk, Henkel, and Nike.

    Companies that Mimic Life was recommended to us by Mike Mollé of Comar-Mollé.

    Calendar of Wisdom

    'A Calendar of Wisdom: Daily Thoughts To Nourish the Soul' is an anthology of ancient and classic texts, curated by Leo Tolstoy, which fulfilled his fifteen-year dream of "collecting the wisdom of the centuries in one book." It's a day-by-day guide that illuminates the path of a life worth living.

    I discovered, and purchased, Calendar of Wisdom as a result of Ryan Holiday's recommendation, sent to his email newsletter titled 'The (Very) Best Books I Read in 2018'. As Holiday summarized,

    Each day draws on Chinese, Jewish, Stoic, Christian, Indian and Arabic sources (he quotes everyone from Emerson to Marcus Aurelius to Lao-Tzu) and manages to give good, actionable advice from all of these differing schools. [...] This book should be much, much more popular and I promise your mornings will be improved if you start them with it.

    Clearing > Craving

    This is one of my favorite Spirit Check elevations (and one of the first).

    Energy fills space like the ocean fills a hole dug into the sands of a beach. When you make space, energy finds you. Stop looking for what you "need" and make space for what is presently seeking you.

    What are you making space for right now?

    Finite and Infinite Games

    'Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility' by James Carse begins:
    "There are at least two kinds of games. One could be called finite, the other infinite. A Finite Game is played for the purpose of winning, an Infinite Game for the purpose of continuing the play." ~ James Carse
