The Great Transition: Journey of an Idea
The jury is still out on whether the Great Transition Initiative’s hoped-for Great Transition will be realized; its achievement rests on the emergence of a planetary movement of concerned citizens buoyed by the conviction that together they can change the world.
How to change the world? Those concerned about the dangerous drift of global development are asking this question with increasing urgency. Dominant institutions have proved too timorous or too venal for meeting the environmental and social challenges of our time. Instead, an adequate response requires us to imagine the awakening of a new social actor: a coordinated global citizens movement (GCM) struggling on all fronts toward a just and sustainable planetary civilization.
Personal to Planetary Transformation
Our World
We are living in a time of whole system transition on a personal and planetary scale that affects every aspect of life as we know it. Patterns of possibility are emerging that have never before been available to all the earth’s people and to the whole planet. Two million organisations are working toward ecological sustainability and social justice, according to Paul Hawken.
Millions of individuals are self-organising to make a better world in spite of the negative factors that threaten to destroy us. Technological innovations and collective wisdom have created unprecedented opportunities for change. The revolution in communication technologies and the Internet have made it possible to connect all people in the world for the first time in human history. The new science of consciousness is revolutionizing our attitudes and worldviews, and the interdependence of all life is now an established scientific fact. Read more

WHEEL OF COCREATION

The power that is emerging all around us -- emerges through "convergence" -- a profound "coming together" that is stunning and overwhelming and amazing and thrillingly beautiful. The door to this process opens through "surrender" and humility -- and true honesty and balance and kindness, and many virtues. It is a mystery of "all my relations", as the First Nations people say -- all held in unity and kindness -- and converging at the center.
My guess is -- we will build bridges from this center to "everywhere" -- just as Black Elk suggests in his vision. Flowing through this entire framework, as its "vertical axis" is the universal center as envisioned by Teilhard deChardin. This axis -- is the "Axis Mundi" of world mythology and esoteric mysticism -- and it is the "trunk of the sacred tree of religions". The power in all of this -- flows because this entire framework is a workable network design -- as per this diagram.
Infinite Hoop This directly relates to a guiding quote from the Spiritual Caucus at the United Nations: "We all have within us a center of stillness surrounded by silence. This house, dedicated to work and debate in the service of peace, should have one room dedicated to silence in the outward sense and stillness in the inner sense." spiritualcaucusun.org
I think there is a "universal sacred method" (or path) emerging. I want to formalize it a bit, in ways that can be brought into the world as the basis of an ethical/spiritual/

COLLABORATIVE TAGGING
This idea keeps converging. Maybe this is the simplest kind of direct "oneness activism" possible. The point is -- every person and every organization is "different" -- or, more accurately, very similar in some ways, different in some ways, and absolutely unique in some ways. In that context, where does "oneness" come from? Seen through the synthesizing lens of collaborative tagging, a million little pieces all overlap and come into focus, forming the big picture that is impossible to see in the small. One of the intriguing elements is -- this process has a natural "center" -- like a mandala, it has a natural center-point -- and like a mandala -- that center-point can remain a mystery -- never absolutely defined, always defined relative to the millions of points that surround and relate to it....

LEADERSHIP AFFINITY NETWORK
Sept. 03, 2014
Sept. 03, 2014
It feels like this is starting to happen. I posted a brief project description on the NCDD/Transpartisan mailing list a few days ago and Integral Leadership Review editor Russ Volkmann asked me to write an article for the magazine. So I did that yesterday and I can feel these pieces falling into place.
The "affinity" aspects of the project involve fast-click tag clouds, where the options are taken from lists that are customized for specialized demographics we want to pull into a single resonant/constructive conversation.
The basic frame of the system is a concept from Barbara Marx Hubbard, that she calls "Pattern of the Whole" -- which revolves around her concept of the "wheel of co-creation."
Pattern of the Whole
Pattern of the Whole is an "integral tag cloud" that contains and integrates all facets of Network Nation. "Everything is connected to everything else" through Pattern of the whole."
This amounts to a kind of populist category system for organizing the full range of social issues and aspects, and though in some ways simplistic, can be interpreted in ways consistent with the "Dewey Decimal System" -- which can make it a powerful and high-capacity way to catalog a huge array of floating elements that can "come together in wholeness" through a single integral design. At the moment, this seems very potent, and do-able.
So, the Leadership Affinity Network would involve a focused outreach to specific demographic groups -- "the women's movement" -- "the interfaith movement" -- "the integral politics movement" -- etc. -- each in a customized way. If we wanted to pull together religious and spiritual groups into a common interspiritual framework, we could write customized invitations for distinct religious/spiritual groups, always emphasizing common ground but approaching that theme in ways that acknowledge the special/unique perspective of each tradition.
In the fields of religion and spirituality and ethics, we can work on developing a common/shared moral/ethical center.
In the context of politics and governance, we can link hundreds of concerns together, and propose to link them through the emerging common moral/ethical center.
In the field of "group process", we can find hundreds of process facilitators and "circle conveners" who have the skills and instincts to help nurture things like this, and engage them from their own particular angle.
And on "issues" -- the hundreds or thousands (literally infinite number) of issues of concerns that divide the human community -- we can hold all of that together in a common frame and negotiate the entire process through balance and resonance.
Yes, a rather huge thing to be thinking about or proposing. But -- it somehow feels workable. Let's see what happens....

BUILDING GLOBAL ONENESS
Sept. 04, 2014
Design Thinking Students Looks a lot like the "Leadership Affinity" concept.
Design from the bottom up, fully inclusive & heading towards an empathy/affinity based form of unity.
This theme of "affinity" seems to offer an important key for building substantial unity in a world context of high diversity. Don't expect people to agree on broad abstract principles. Instead, offer them thousands of smaller specifics, and enable them to choose those that work for them. If ten of us click the same thing, we're converging. Offer a thousand or ten-thousand things to click, and our common ground will become solid.
This is the "resonant tag cloud" approach to building cultural unity at high scale. There are many demographic groups we could approach, inviting them into this "cloud", each in their own way, each emphasizing those facets of the whole towards which they are most magnetized.
Honor these natural divisions and borders and boundaries -- and then offer fully resonant ways to cross those borders in any way anyone desires.
This morning, I created a simple graphic that illustrates this. At the local level -- or at the level of any individual or unique organization -- offer a way to collect and enter "tags" into a common framework.
Then upstream these uniquely gathered local tags into a common framework, where they can can be correlated and cross-connected -- and who knows, maybe collaboratively edited and polished.
The Oneness movement is a great thing, and probably a legitimate foundation for all spirituality -- and all religion -- and the "interspirituality" that supposedly can connect it all, around a common vision and a common ethic.
But not enough people in the Oneness movement understand the preservation of diversity. They somehow assume that all human differences -- on every possible subject -- will all melt into one natural perfect harmony at some magic moment in our evolution.
If anything like this can happen, it's going to depend on exquisite orchestration. Human differences are not going away -- and the world would be a dreary and probably deadly place if they did. "Cultural diversity" is just as vital to the life-energies of civilization as "biological diversity" is vital to the energies of an organic ecology.
How do we do this? How can we invoke and construct it in a conscious and coherent way -- in accordance, as some might suggest, with some "divine plan" or "perfect archetype of oneness or community"?
My instinct is -- yes, there is a way to do this. We're figuring it out together. And maybe this image can help clarify some of the confusion and controversy.

We are poking around, looking for the new activism that can unfold this broad idea. Maybe Coffee Party should consider this kind of organization. It's a super-good model of "we the people" -- see the interview of Parker Palmer (Healing the Heart of Democracy) in the New York Times today http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/.../realizing-we.../...

ONENESS IN THE SPHERE OF THE MEDIA
As human beings we are constantly bombarded with countless messages that come in myriads of forms, shapes and lines, as thoughts, symbols, dreams, communication, etc., with the Internet and Technology playing an ever-growing and powerful role.
We are indeed part of the Big Mind.... we are shaping our world and we are being shaped by the world through these messages and our interpretation of them.
When we listen closely we hear the call...
"We Are All One, inter-related, inter-connected and inter-dependent with God/Life/One-another".....
and miraculously our connection and communication with the billions of others in the space of the Global Brain reflect our conscious connection and communication with our Self... ensuring that we co-create the sustainable world of peace and prosperity for everyone that we have all been dreaming of, instead of re-creating that which we do not want.

Wholeness, Interconnectedness and Co-Creativity
Co-intelligence can be defined as the ability to use wholeness, interconnectedness and co-creativity to collaboratively guide the evolving coherence of life and understanding towards greater wholeness, interconnectedness and co-creativity.
To get a better grasp on what this means, let's explore how we would deal with intelligence differently if we took wholeness, interconnectedness and co-creativity seriously..

THE ALIGNING POWER OF CIRCLES
I like this general alignment, because I think it shows how "the one" interacts with and centers and aligns a "spiritual circle" process. In this version, the alignment is shown descending into the center of a "Quaker Meeting House" in London -- where, through the prayer practice followed by many Quakers, a "collective discernment of the Will of God" can unfold.
The method is "align the circle of people through the center -- the center of each person being congruent or overlapping with the center of every other person AND with the center of the circle itself -- AND with the center of this universal circle that contains all circles." This method aligns the wisdom of a group into the perfect discernment of the whole.
The "descending axis" from the center of the circle is the "Axis Mundi" -- the guide-line for the entire endeavor of civilization. This is what we are learning how to do -- and what, I am guessing, we will want to actively convene as the energy continues to come into focus...

I like this circle -- because I like seeing it as "the container" -- or maybe an image of "the whole" -- or "the one" -- through which or within which "all other things" are not only contained -- but also "aligned" -- aligned so as to be in harmonic resonance with this Oneness.
I have another version of this circle with the "axis" aligned vertically so that it can be seen as the central energy of a "network of circles" -- or as Deb might like -- a network of spheres.
From this starting point, then "everything can be connected to everything else through their common center" -- which feels to me like the master key for a new world that works....
GUIDED DELIBERATION
In this related image, the aligning energy of Absolute One / Absolute Center is shown in relation to a joint session of the United States Congress (Senate and House, during the 2011 State of the Union address), in a way that shows how the energy and thoughts and perspectives of every person present could be held in an integral resonant alignment as they convened to deliberate every issue we face as a nation or a world.
This image seems to me to be a guiding architectural image of the new world we are called to convene -- with "Center Everywhere". We are moving collectively towards that center -- and, my guess is, the power to convene this process will emerge through us...

We Are One Community
One Community is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization purposed for creating open source and free-shared blueprints for The Highest Good of All. The resources we are creating simultaneously address the foundations of every major challenge our planet is currently facing. The purpose of this comprehensive approach is positive and permanent global transformation through experiential learning models which provide both immediate and long-term solutions. These learning models will intentionally spin-off evolved solution-creating models as awareness and knowledge grow.
Current models we’re developing include sustainable and Highest Good:
Brief overview of One Community: Website Sections

WHY ONE COMMUNITY?
WORLD CHANGE STARTS WITH ACTION
We believe the ability and resources exist to create a better world through a duplicable model demonstrating what is possible. With this in mind, One Community is a non-profit organization of forward-thinking people creating global transformation for The Highest Good of All. Our approach is starting and leading a movement of self-sufficient and self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities purposed to forward the necessary knowledge base and global consciousness capable of positively and permanently improving life for everyone and everything on this planet.
Our comprehensive city and village models are more affordable, last longer, artistic, beautiful, and designed to provide a more fulfilling way of living. All aspects, including the fulfilled living components, are duplicable either modularly or as complete villages. They include Highest Good food, energy, housing, Highest Good for-profit and non-profit economics models, an education model, a Highest Good society model, resource based economy implementation, and more. Most importantly, the way One Community is combining andopen source sharing all of these things is purposed to create global and transformational change by helping others to duplicate them.
WHAT WE WILL ULTIMATELY ACCOMPLISH
- A duplicable model solution that creates additional solution creating models
- Building 7 completely different duplicable self-sufficient village/city prototypes
- Becoming the #1 provider in the world of open source and free-shared solutions
- Redefining sustainability as an open source and for The Highest Good of All industry
- Evolving and expanding ALL aspects of comprehensively sustainable infrastructure and living
- A measurable global shift towards sustainability practices that will benefit all of humanity

updated Sept 2014
A community of like-minded individuals of all ages and cultures dedicated to supporting the emergence of a coherent new story for humanity.
We humans find our way by story. Our stories shape us, hold us and give meaning to our lives. Every so often it becomes clear that a prevailing story is no longer serving. Now is such a time. As we change our story, we change our world.
The New Story Community is for those who are already living the edge of a new story, those who have carried the best of the old story forward - the ancient and indigenous wisdom, those investigating threads of possibility, and those seeking inspiration and insight as to what could be.
The impetus for this community comes from an upcoming event hosted by the Findhorn Foundation located in the north east of Scotland – The New Story Summit: Inspiring Pathways for our Planetary Future – taking place 27 September to 3 October 2014 newstoryhub.com .
Join us to help accelerate our collective understanding of what the 'world in waiting' holds for us, what is already emerging and what needs to change, both in us and in the human story.
We invite you to engage in our inquiry across multiple themes, including: social, cultural and community evolution, ecology and sustainability, economy and business, as well as politics, law and governance.
To join us in building community, you can start by introducing yourself and sharing your story, your visions, your hopes and your dreams. This is a unique opportunity to hear the rich diversity of voices of your fellow community members and to engage with like-minded people of all ages and cultures from all around the globe.
