- WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
-
-
- You've got
a hankering to write, to speak. Or to paint or draw. To communicate your
thoughts. To get others to think, or to feel, to appreciate,
to be galvanized to action, or halted from commiting the foolhardy.
Spiral Sea is here to help bring
that hankering to fruition.
But our intent
is also to help you achieve your goal at a high level of accomplishment.
We set high standards for the materials we present, in terms
of polish and tenor, truth and accuracy.
Good ideas, worthwhile
thinking, and convincing presentation are musts. Where a great
idea needs it, we'll edit a bit. But for the most part, top-flight
creating for the Web still operates under the tough selection
rules governing all ideas meant to be seriously shared by humanity.
You've got to do the hard work yourself. Then when you've got
it right, make a pitch, we'll listen. And then, maybe the world
will, too. |

THE DELICATE
ART OF ACQUIRING
MINDS
-
- Consciousness-Experience-Understanding
What's
a self-respecting universe to do with recalcitrant Awareness?
- Spiral Sea
- dedicates its efforts to sharing ideas, in
many guises, between inquiring minds.
We had our
beginnings in people who worked every day with the tools of scientific
research, engineering, medicine, psychology, sociology, architecture,
advertising, education, homemaking... you name it, our members
have done it.
-
- Like you,
we resisted the tendency of modern society to pigeon-hole us, to fasten us with the
stick-pins of routine and convention into the sorting bins of
cultural stagnation. We never stopped learning, nor thinking,
nor worrying that hard-earned lessons might not be passed on,
that valuable insights into the nature of our existence--what
we were, what we are, what we could become--might be lost.
-
- Our Readership
(see CONNEXIONS), world-wide in scope,
drives the constant expansion of areas addressed by The SPIRAL
SEA. With the world as our oyster, you may expect a commensurately
wide range of viewpoint, opinion, and subject matter---and of
course, a bit of controversy.

LIKE THESE WORDS
AND IMAGES, our thoughts, indeed our very lives, float in a sea
of stars, space and time...
and very likely
many other dimensions we have yet to comprehend.
If you have a
unique perspective on our shared universe, a lifetime of learning,
a knack for discovery, and a gift for the telling of it, we urge
you to contribute all you can to humanity's awareness.
You and I may not be here forever. But perhaps
we shall be. |

- PASSING
ON NON-GENETIC INFORMATION
-
- Understanding-Conscience-Commitment
- Attitude counts for a lot in an organism's quest for biological
success. A winning, can-do approach to life is just as important
as having the tools and skills to get a job done. At least, that
is the impression we humans draw about ourselves, and some of
our animal relatives.
-
- What makes
intelligence think it might succeed in the long-term survival
game? We've heard of "selfish genes" and "altruistic
genes." Might there be room for "over-confident genes?"
Take a look at
our TECH
CORNER department
for articles and discussions with a technical slant, whatever
the discipline. Topics include current problems and possible
solutions to some of the vexing challenges our planet's species
are facing: ; future obstacles we have yet to face; and very-long-range
considerations of social, biological, chemical, atomic, cybernetic,
geophysical, stellar, and galactic natures.
WRITE US
or e-mail
us
with your own perceived problems or solutions. We will gladly
consider your contributions for inclusion in future issues, and
will forward your ideas to others for their input as well.
Topic suggestions will be addressed by
our editors and panel experts, and some will be chosen for development
and online presentation. Your continued participation is invited.
Contributed
stories, articles and artwork will be reviewed for appropriateness,
accepted or rejected, and their status communicated speedily
to the authors and artists. Accepted works will be minimally
edited for inclusion, with credit to authors and artists, then
published to their assigned issues to pass along your thoughts
and creations to others.
Send your
contributions electronically, in HTML, MSWord, WordPerfect, PDF,
Text, ASCI, .WAV, MIDI, or most any digital graphics formats.
Query us by e-mail if your modus operandi isn't in this
list.
Query if you
propose to send physical items, prints, charts, manuscripts or
tapes.
We accept such items at your risk, and will return them if you
provide return postage/shipping. We can digitize most any kind
of information form.
We also seek
suggestions for URL inclusions for our CONNEXIONS page, which provides
links to other websites with potential relevance to our Readers'
and contributors' favorite topics.

Paying the bills
As with any enterprise providing a service
to its practicioners, Spiral Sea achieves its Web presentations
through the use of modern technology. In support of making that
means available to our authors and artists, we pay the bills--in
part through earnings from our CATALOG of relevant products and services offered by
ourselves, our members, and a select few outside parties. By
all means, check them out. The commercial products of a culture
tell us much about its spirit and direction. |
