<br />
<br />
So often I wake up in the morning, take one look at what is
happening in the world, and feel endless pain about betraying the
true purpose of why humans emerged on Earth.<br />
<br />
Radical
responsibility asks: <i>"What shall I do with this hour, this
day? Shall I try to squeeze my soul <b>again</b> into a framework that
only directs the human death-march further towards the abyss?
Shall I surrender my authority <b>again</b> to those whose hearts are
numbed and minds are trapped in concepts like 'nationality,' 'financial gain,' 'beliefs,' 'security,' </i>and <i>'enforcing the laws of
empire'?"</i><br />
<br />
But if I say, <i>"No! No more! Not me! Not this
day!" </i>what then shall I do? How can I set out on a
different path? Where do I go? And with whom? Is anybody out
there?<br />
<br />
The mainstream charges towards the cliff of doom like
frenzied lemmings. Now and then I see an option whiz by in
my peripheral vision, but how do I exit the rat race?<br />
<br />
It would be
revolutionary... but I could... just stop.<br />
<br />

<br />
I could sit for some
days and weeks on the sidelines and notice what is really going
on. I could center myself, let it all in and feel it. I could consciously
breathe.<br />
<br />
I could find some water or stones or trees and sit with
them, touch them with my fingers. I could look to see if anyone
else notices that the Emperor wears no clothes.<br />
<br />
And if I see
others out there? What then? All my fears were wasted? Then I am not alone?<br />
<br />

<br />
And if we come together, face each other and listen, without an agenda, or hold hands in a silent space we become an antenna. Humans together
without an agenda are an antenna that immediately tunes in to
Gaia.<br />
<br />

<br />
Gaia is talking to us. She has never stopped talking to us,
singing to us, praying to us. Gaia is offering us jobs that
resurrect the hope and inspiration of her original vision for
humanity on Earth. All we need do to get her download is to come
together, for example, at a <i>Gaian Employment Unconference</i>.<br />
<br />
Then it
becomes instantly clear what projects are already started, who has
what skills and resources, and what is needed right now for new
projects.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course questions arise: <i>Who will pay my rent?</i>
But the answers are so obvious. (Move out. Stop paying rent to
anybody. This is Gaia. Nobody owns Gaia.) <i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>Who will pay my
insurance?</i> (End the insurance gameworld by leaving the
country for an indefinite period of time. Join the Artabana health
cooperative <a href="http://www.artabana.de/">www.artabana.de</a>). <i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>How will I travel? How will I
eat?</i> Ah, yes. We are not yet initiated. We are still
hookable by emotions when the mind imagines out into the future
and looks for answers out there.<br />
<br />
But there are no answers in the
future. There are only answers in the now.<br />
<br />

<br />
Are you hungry? Eat.
Are you tired? Sleep. Do you want to go somewhere? Go there.
Listen to Gaia and she is already now telling you what to do next.
The next step is directly in front of you.<br />
<br />
If you want to work for
Gaia the job starts now. You are already hired. Just begin. All
your talents are needed. Put them to work.<br />
<br />
You have always wanted
to do this. So begin!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Your courage places you directly into the
magnificent flow of Gaian intelligence - the same intelligence
that built and evolved all of life on Earth.<br />
<br />
Then Gaia herself
supplies you with whatever connections, coincidences, and
resources are needed to get the job done. It might not be the
resources you imagine that you need, but they will be resources
enough to finish the job.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then do the next job.<br />
<br />
It is celebration
time. It is <i>Gaian Employment Unconference </i>time.<br />

<br />
By coming
together the journey has already begun.<br />
<br />
See you there.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When Al Gore delivered “An Inconvenient Truth” he showed us the last
little bit on the right-hand side of the graph below, the most recent 10,000 years. We were shocked to see how
far above normal the carbon-dioxide (CO2) level already is. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But this is <b><u>NOTHING</u></b> compared
to how far the methane (CH4) already is above 420,000 years of normal, and
increasing faster than ever. In the short term, methane is a 120 times more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2*, collecting far more heat, and when methane breaks down it turns into CO2 anyway. The 400 billion tons of methane clathrates frozen in the Siberian tundra and under the arctic sea are already melting, unstoppably bubbling into Earth's atmosphere. We are far beyond the tipping point.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Startled, the neurons wake up and perceive
the electrifying impact with uncanny alertness. How soon your brain cells go
back to sleep again depends on how ready you are to jump fully-committed into that
new-found alertness and ride it like a bucking bronco into a new gamespace for your life. </span></div>

conditions for women are diametrically different but equally dishonorable.
Whereas women are born as slaves and sex objects, men do not have to grow up. Since
the patriarchy does not educate its members that they live in a patriarchy, you
have to figure this out yourself by getting to patriarchy’s thought limits and
looking over the edge. The edge is where growing-up happens.</span></div>

caught, being blamed, punished, found guilty, bearing the burden, and having to
pay. Modern culture has developed “corporate personhood” to protect individuals
from having to take responsibility for their actions. Modern economy teaches by
example that instead of being responsible you should be “smart.” Being “smart”
means to lie, cheat, sneak, deceive, and avoid detection while taking as much

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you do accomplish Item #1 and escape from the
patriarchy, you will be starting at ground zero, like being born again but into
a radically different culture than that lived by your parents. </span></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<br /></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You will at
first not know who you are. You will be learning all over again how to become a
human being. Developing your personality and gaining new reference frames won’t
take as long as the first time, but the process will be equally ruthless on you.
You need to figure out how to thrive in a new gameworld, very different from
capitalistic patriarchal empire. </span></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<br /></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can do it.</span></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<br /></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To extract yourself from the patriarchy it helps to
know how you got in it. A male born in modern culture must quickly make a
life-shaping choice. Either you join the patriarchy and “live,” or you reject
the patriarchy and die. (Doctors call it “sudden infant death syndrome”.) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Joining
is the obvious choice, with all the benefits of any gang: identity, camaraderie,
security, power in numbers, defined enemies, and a mission. But when you join
the patriarchy you make the ultimate sacrifice. You can never be yourself. Your
uniqueness is counterproductive in the patriarchy and must be suppressed, lest
you betray the patriarchy, including your father, his brothers, your father’s father
and his brothers, and all the generations of men before you, sacrificing
themselves for the benefit of the patriarchy. To extinguish your uniqueness you
cut out a piece of your soul.</span></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<br /></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Fortunately the rejected part of your energetic body<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> does not go anywhere</i>. It floats in your
general vicinity, wherever you are, waiting for this very conversation. Learning
that the cut-part of your soul <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">did not
die</i> may be one of the most painfully joyful insights of your life. It did
not go away. It did not abandon you. All this time it has been by your side
waiting for the moment you realize it can be reclaimed. </span></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<br /></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This could be considered <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Item # 2</b> on your checklist for entering archearchal men’s culture: reclaim
banished parts of your soul and integrate them back into your energetic body so
you can start off whole again. (See below for instructions for this process.)</span></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<br /></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">By extracting yourself from the patriarchy and
helping other men do the same, Item #1, and by locating and re-integrating the
missing parts of your energetic body, Item #2, you have already begun your path
of ongoing adulthood initiations into archearchy. </span></div>

in which Stephen says, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Human beings are
not born. Human beings are made. Human beings are made by other human beings. And
if you ask, ‘How do you make humans?’ the answer is, ‘Well, you’ve got to kill
off their childhood.’ ‘Because why?’ ‘Because the childhood doesn’t give way,
that’s why.</i>’ <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">And then you need a

childhood was useful, and important, but it no longer sits in the driver’s seat

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the past 40 years I have helped many grateful others
recognize and tread the narrow paths towards adulthood. But I cannot help
observe the uninitiated, the vast majority still worshipping irresponsibility,
giving their precious authority away, thinking they are not accountable for the
consequences of their inactions. This is particularly disgusting to see in men,
because the patriarchy enthrones us for indulging in our immaturity. And we
acquiesce without resistance to this manipulated deception.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For extra credit, your men’s culture could include the
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Theory of Parasitic Entities</i>. This
theory states that everything is food for everything else, and when people are
not attentive they become food for parasitic entities. Perhaps you have noticed
this: ordinary intelligent people becoming suddenly absent and entering a
depressed or confused mood for seemingly no reason. Then after a few hours or days
– when the entity has finished gorging itself – the mood ends, also seemingly
without cause. Your men’s culture can train each other to become <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">trigger hunters</i>, identifying the inner
trigger sentences that call in the entity to feed, thereby gaining the option
of choosing not to feed it. For more information about parasitic entities
please write to Sonia Willaredt (<a href="mailto:sonia@nextculture.org">sonia@nextculture.org</a>)

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A proper functioning archearchal men’s culture builds
personal and community-wide capabilities through holding ongoing adulthood
initiatory processes at the center of village culture. Then your young people step
into a dynamic framework for their lives by finding the path of evolution early
on. This is where archearchy shines. </span></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">

<div class="ClintonStandard">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is often recognized (although not in modern public
schools…) that each individual person has gifts, unique capabilities that are
needed by the village. But just as a sail is useless unless it is hoisted, these
unique gifts can’t be applied until they are unfurled to catch the prevailing winds
of consciousness and can provide their directed energy. (Each child dying of
starvation anywhere in the world right now also has gifts that are lost...)</span></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<br /></div>
<div class="ClintonStandard">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Archearchal Men’s culture is a powerful catalyst for
unfurling and applying beneficial gifts. Each man’s feedback and coaching
provides intelligence and energy that assists each of the other men to
distinguish, connect with, and serve their <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">archetypal
lineage</i>. (This is where in archearchy the men’s and women’s culture have
the same objective – calling through the Being of each person, and working
collaboratively as representatives of their individual archetypal lineages.)
Quite some preparations are required to be capable of serving your archetypal
lineage, just as preparations are needed to deliver surgeries, to perform in a
philharmonic orchestra, or to grow a productive vegetable garden. </span><br />

on exchanging mutual help with your archearchal culture of fellow men on the
evolutionary path. For more about archetypal lineage, please write to Sonia

ask her to send you SPARK 141.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If in this article you sense a caustic bitter mood sending wisps of grey smoke curling up between the lines, you sensed it right.
I feel angry about how pathetic the efforts of men trapped in the patriarchy are
towards getting out. How hopelessly, stupidly, and easily men have been lured
into self-congratulatory apathy, like children kidnapped with lollipops. It is
a disgraceful response, in my opinion, to the honor and opportunity of having
been given a life with Gaia. Each person has so much individual potential and
so much of it is lost, ridiculed and wasted in the patriarchy. I may be
cynical, but at the same time I am begging you to prove me wrong. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Try this: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Extract yourself from the patriarchy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Reintegrate the
banished parts of your energetic body. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Upgrade your thoughtware to
archearchal adulthood standards.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Without accomplishing these 3 things <i>in reality</i> – not just in your mind –
you are fooling yourself about shifting to archearchy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First, your group should study the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Old</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">New Map of Feelings</i> in the book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Directing
the Power of Conscious Feelings</i> by Clinton Callahan, pages 65 to 167. This
will require fully participating in a weekly study group for several months,
and involves actually shifting to using the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">New
Thoughtmap of Feelings</i> in your daily life. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(NOTE: This process has two separate parts. Both parts need to be accomplished elegantly and powerfully. The Process Navigator
should read through these instructions carefully before the process begins so
he knows how it goes. Read the words in <i>italics </i>out loud. These are the instructions for the client to follow. These exact words cause the shifts to occur, so try to speak them exactly.) </span><br />

to do this. Your body will integrate through shouts, screams, and seizure spasms.

stop. Then touch the next chakra with one finger, let it go, and integrate. All
seven, one after the other, without rushing. Are you ready?</i> (pause – this

I offer my personal notes and observations made during the <a href="http://www.findhorn.org/programmes/newstory" target="_blank">New Story Summit</a> 27 September – 3 October 2014 at Findhorn Foundation,
Scotland, for you to use for
anything you want. I was privileged to participate in this astonishingly daring effort generated by the Findhorn inner circle as they hosted 320 or so edgeworking geniuses from some 35 countries around the world on a <i>gift economy</i> basis with full transparency over the finances. I consider this report as one way to express my gratitude for this extraordinary opportunity.</div>

GAMEWORLDS AND CONTEXT</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Each culture is a story-world, a <i>gameworld</i>, with agreed
upon rules of engagement, that automatically emerge out of a particular context. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
A <i>context
</i>is a specific set of distinctions. Change one distinction in the context and it produces entirely new <i>gameworlds</i>. For example, football emerges from the "I win, you lose" context. If you change the distinction from "I win, you lose" to that of "Winning Is Happening," then you can add a second ball into the game, or after each goal have 3 players from each team change sides, or tie one's player's leg to the leg of a player on the other team. Changing one distinction changes the entire context and therefore
all the gameworlds that emerge from it.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Culture is a gameworld. The most efficient way to evolve a culture is to land a
new distinction in the context of the culture. A skill needed by cultural
evolutionaries is landing new distinctions in a cultural context. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Having a
sense of specific distinctions that would create a context that gives birth to
sustainable / regenerative human cultures on Earth is one
thing. Having the skills to create the meta-conversations and navigate to the
liquid states that accompany context-shift is a completely different
thing. Such skills are not part of education. They are part of initiation. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
EDUCATION AND INITIATION</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
There is a difference between an educator and an
initiator. An educator delivers content – what to think about. An initiator
delivers context – what to think with. These are very different skillsets. Modern
culture (starting 6000 years ago or so) eliminated initiation. The result is
that modern culture lacks adults. When a child makes a mess, who cleans it up?
The adults. Modern culture is making unforgivable messes with no intention at
all of ever cleaning them up. Modern culture is a child-level responsibility
culture, with uninitiated adolescents running governments, multi-national
corporations, religions, universities, and armies.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Modern culture cannot be repaired – its entire set of legal
structures emerges from a child-level-responsibility I-win-you-lose context, an
immature and false paradigm not suitable for life on a planet. Each person recognizing
the fallacy of modern culture’s laws is no longer subject to those laws in the
moment they establish a new set of laws to replace them. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
For example, modern culture bases its education on
enhancing the mind. Next culture observes that in addition to the physical body
with organs that have sensations, and the intellectual body with a mind that
has attention, concepts, assumptions, beliefs and stories, there is also the
emotional body with its heart that has feelings, and the energetic body with a
being that has presence, self-image, intention, vision, determination, and
inspiration. From the next culture perspective, people educated in modern
culture are seriously handicapped and distorted with an over-enhanced intellect
and shriveled hearts and souls.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
HIERARCHIES AND CIRCLES</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
There is a difference between a leader and a spaceholder.
Leadership is required in hierarchical structures. Spaceholding is required in
circular, spiral, galaxical, and cloud structures. If you try to do leadership
in a circle, etc., you force the circle back into a hierarchy. Spaceholding
depends on an entirely different skillset than leadership. Shifting from leadership
to spaceholding changes your entire life.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In hierarchies, the people best suited to doing whatever
it takes to climb the ladder and take positions of power are those with the least
conscience about the consequences of their actions, in other words, the <a href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_clinton__080508_beware_the_psychopat.htm" target="_blank">psychopaths</a>.
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
There is a design error of modern culture: it uses
hierarchical power structures which automatically select for sociopathic tendencies.
In the past 50 years global hierarchies have been hijacked by the psychopathic
agenda. This explains why no amount of good-hearted “speaking truth to power”
can create an improved outcome. <a href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/Slaying-The-Jabberwock-by-Clinton-Callahan-111014-647.html" target="_blank">Nobody is listening</a>. A bright future for
humanity is not even on the agenda.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In a hierarchy there is limited room at the top, and there
are hierarchies behind the hierarchies: mafia, multinational corporations,
and, as Paul Simon names in his song <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy5T6s25XK4" target="_blank"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Boy In The Bubble</i></a>, “a loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires.” </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
There is a difference between a <i>context holder</i> and a
<i>spaceholder</i>. In a circle both roles are needed. Spaceholding can be rotated
amongst the participants and cannot go wrong if the circle uses Rapid Learning
with its ongoing feedback and coaching from the context holders. A spaceholder
may or may not be a context holder. In circles, part of the game is to
ongoingly deepen and expand each person’s context-holding so that more and more
of the participants serve as context holders.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Spaceholding can navigate much more dynamic and
interactive possibilities than leadership because leadership depends on
personal power and controlled design, whereas spaceholding flows archetypal
power (not personal power) and thrives on nonlinear group intelligence paving
the path while it is surfed.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
There is a difference between <i>growth-in-quantity</i> and
<i>growth-in-quality</i>. The growth in quantity concerns systems of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">having</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">acquiring</i>. The growth in quality concerns systems of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">being</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">becoming</i> (transformation, evolution, initiation). </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In growth-in-quantity there are
real-world limits (population, toxic wastes, mineral deposits). In growth-in-quality
there are no real world limits – only psycho-emotional limits in uninitiated
adolescents. There is no top end to evolution. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
THE NEW STORY</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Old story: Time is money. New story: Time is time.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Time is an ally, so we speak what is essential so time
has the space to work its magic. We can create space for time through
stillness, emptiness, and attentive listening.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
There are already story threads which we know are helping.
But at the edge, we don’t know how the next possibilities unfold. We contribute
to evolution by participating fully.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
This is a week of powerful experienced edgeworking people
coming together to care.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Expectations crawl out of the cracks between diverse
worldviews. We are allies. Coming closer together minimizes the cracks.
Authentic communication eliminates the expectations. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
We each have our own thoughtware. The thoughtware we are
using is not necessarily the only thoughtware or the best thoughtware we could
be using. There is thoughtware that could let us create something completely
different out of the same circumstances. With upgraded thoughtware, something
completely different from this is possible right now.</div>

The Earth has material and energetic ecologies.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Conversations with and messages from subtle beings are
the least of the modes of relationship with subtle beings. In addition there is
a vast circulation and exchange of life qualities and energies.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Stories give us one set of meanings and block others. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Life is not a story. Life is unadulterated experience.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Some subtle domains conform to our stories and reflect
them back to us as if they are real.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Life does not have a dramatic arc like stories do.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Conflict and drama are not the only stories possible.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
We can find meaning without stories by sitting with
nature as it is.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Our view of stories can limit our powers of imagination. </div>

Stories are held together with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Is-Glue</i>.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“Is” is a concept that does not exist in nature. <i>“Is” </i>is a
product of the human mind, famously capable of understanding
concepts that have no connection to reality. For example, it is simple to
understand the concept of a sphere: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all
points equidistant from a single point in 3D space</i>. But this is a
mathematical concept. In reality there are no spheres. Think of all the superstitions you have heard of, like the superstition that it is possible for human beings to own parts of the Earth...</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The concept-models define our interactivity with the world. The
closer your model matches reality, the more effectively you can interact with
reality. Change your model - for example, from a flatworld map to a roundworld map - and you change your qualities of interactivity. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Is-Glue comes in various forms<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">: is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been, has, have, had, do, does,
did, may, might, must, can, could, should, would, shall, will,</i> and the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">NOT</i> forms of each, such as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">is not, am not, are not</i>, etc.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Since we started thinking and speaking we have been
making stories about ourselves, others, and the world with Is-Glue. That <span style="color: red;">is</span> a dog. Johnny <span style="color: red;">is</span> bad.
I <span style="color: red;">am</span> tired. I <span style="color: red;">do not</span>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The world is rich in evidence. There is enough evidence
to make up any story we want about anything. Stories are not true. How can a
story be true? We just made it up. Believing that a story is true is simply
unexamined thinking. Beliefs are stories specifically designed to cover up
holes in other stories for which there is no explanation, where there is instead
a void of nothingness, where there is “I don’t know,” such as, What happens
when we die? Where did we come from? What is the purpose of life? What is
consciousness? </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>

Nothingness is a necessary resource. Initiated adults

Recognizing your own stories as bullshit (albeit, interesting
or entertaining bullshit) gives you the freedom to identify other vendors of
bullshit for what they are: vendors of bullshit. You are then on equal status
and have the power to choose your variety of bullshit over theirs simply as a
matter of preference, framed by the purpose you consciously choose to serve:
such as clarity, transformation, communication, respect, love, possibility, wellbeing,
oneness, service, sustainability, etc. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>

If you do not recognize your own culture and beliefs as

New understanding comes from new distinctions woven into
a new context. Such as: there is a difference between <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">bullshit</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cowshit</i>. Men
do bullshit, which is to say things that are very relevant, but simply not
true, such as, “I will be home at seven.” Or, “I will help Johnny with his math
homework.” Or, “I will fix the faucet on Saturday.” Women do cowshit, which is
to say things that are very very true, excruciatingly true, undeniably true,
but simply not relevant, such as on Friday evening after the kids are in bed
and you find yourselves in the bedroom, she says, “I see that you didn’t pick
up the laundry basket full of clothes on your way up the stairs… I washed those
clothes. I ironed those clothes. I folded those clothes. And you couldn’t even
carry them up the stairs?” If the man does not know this is merely cowshit, how
can he step around it instead of in it so that love can happen?</div>

GETTING OUT</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
We need schools of getting out. They teach skills for getting
out of modern culture in all respects (insurance, debt, ownership of property,
stock investments, taxes, passports, education system, credit, TV, alcohol,
cars, economic, consumption, food, clothing, housing, entertainment, conditioned
assumptions, beliefs, expectations, arrogance, bigotry, lack of cultural
relativity, etc.), because we copied modern culture’s assumptions and thinking
flaws into our being before we could speak. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
We are beginning a generation of deconditioning and
healing. We need whole schools for learning how to extract ourselves from the
patriarchy. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Something that seems like a miracle from one perspective (e.g.
getting out of modern culture) is quite natural in another perspective. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Since we absorbed patriarchal thoughtware before we could speak,
getting out involves learning to think about what we are thinking with – in
other words, noticing the brand of thoughtware we use so as to detect when we are using Standard Human Issue Thoughtware. Through taking responsibility for what we are thinking with, we gain at least the chance of thinking something different.
We need this observational gap between us and modern culture's insidious thoughtware to have freedom
of movement in our thinking, perceiving and choosing. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
THE QUESTION</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The question comes down to this: which context are you
standing in? The modern patriarchal empire context? Or the regenerative next
culture context? It is an either / or choice. We don’t get to do both, because if
you mix poison water with fresh water you only end up with poison water and the
patriarchal empire prevails until doomsday. However, human beings are famously
schizophrenic. We have parts to our psychological structure. Sometimes we are
completely unconsciously identified with the modern capitalist patriarchal
empire parts where the world is flat and we unconsciously think we can go to
the edge and drop our nuclear and toxic wastes over the side into free space. And
sometime we are rather more consciously identified with sustainable
regenerative cradle-to-cradle parts that recognize the Earth is a ball and
every degree of toxicity is captured in feedback loops and poisons us. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
There is also a part of our individual selves that
remains free and was never sucked into the delusions of the modern patriarchal
empire. When you start paying attention to your attention from the neutral
observer perspective it becomes obvious when your schizophrenic identities get
triggered. Only when you have achieved the sensitivity of noticing you are
about to be triggered do you get a chance to conscious make a different choice
other than creating the capitalist patriarchal empire context. </div>

Starting at about 15 years of age, human beings are designed to get initiated into taking
responsibilities for things people in modern culture never even thought of taking responsibility for. These ongoing adulthood initiatory processes ignite
the free-and-natural adult man and woman, unfolding original purposes,
stellating inner archetypes, and jacking-in to archetypal lineages that serve partnerships,
projects, interconnected communities and the Earth. In this way adults come to serve
something greater than themselves. </div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
It’s a joyous adventure. The world connection is already
there. There’s a finer woven net of love, a river of life and hope that flows
through the GEN network in realtime living. There is nothing to hide because we
see everything. It flows in a much bigger open circle. There has been a blessing
on our work. We can see it and receive it. We can do so much more. We can bring
imagery that touches young people’s hearts. The smaller paths are everywhere
and they’re beautiful, abundant seeds scattering. We know about solutions. We
come in and spread the seeds. I need to start traveling and not stop. It’s a
river now, bringing the sweetness of informed hope to places of sharpness.
There is so much fear of doing things differently, but the core movement
invites people into a multitude of possibilities of expression. It is possible
to come home to yourself. We know people of integrity in governments. I want
the river to come to my village, to the women, a river of love and support for
the children in a way of life in any ecovillage. Courage and support is so big
of a gift that I can go home and give it away, where the contradictions fall
away, not walking against, not walking towards. We are walking together, into
our life, and every island is safe. We have the pressure of being a bud that is
unstoppable in its opening to become a flower, to exchange pollen, to generate
more seeds. GEN is a web of hearts, the beauty that can be created by letting
what is not beautiful fall away. Sharing joy, laughter and peace, feeling pain
there and knowing what to do next, to feel love in the midst of rage so the
river flows free, creating space for the techies and excel sheets and those who
can count the numbers, and the magicians and a new kind of education. The pain
of one part is washed away when it is seen by the other part. The river wakes
up at fear and grows into collective human evolution. We can help those who
cannot ask for help to ask for help. We can have an Ecovillage Fuck-Ups website
using errors as a shared learning resource. The river speaks all languages, circles
upon circles of worlds around us that want to play and give. There is a special
love happening, so many more circles who long to give. Learning to receive,
learning to work with magnetic attraction, being able to die well, letting
narrow conceptions dissolve. Let the frantic doing die. Let frozenness in the
face of the arrogance of men of power die. We each have different gifts. We can
exchange, and thus wake up. GEN makes it so everywhere is home.</div>

We've been discovering (in our 39 years of experimenting in Possibility
Management) that depression can be experienced by mixing two feelings
together, anger and sadness. If you want to have
the experience of depression, mix sadness and anger together. If you
don't want to have the experience of depression then start using the New
Thoughtmap of Feelings (where there are no positive or negative
feelings
and where feelings are neutral useful energy and information for
leading
creative and productive adult lives) and go through the 20 minute
process of separating feeling sad from feeling angry. Unmix the feelings. </span></span></span><br />

you drop your defenses, the lunch bar opens, and you allow them to feed
on you. Your feeling-awful state is the experience of being fed upon,

the first trigger. Until you catch and write down your first trigger,
do not even read PHASE 2. To catch the trigger, stay in the joyful
present for weeks on end and the moment your dark mood starts to appear
pay total attention. Notice the moment you enter that irritable,
crushed, grouchy, going-alone-into-my-cave state, and in that instant
catch the associated thought. Just before your mood shift there was a
thought which you confirmed to be true with evidence from your immediate
surroundings. Isolate that thought. Follow the sensations back to the
instant your state began. What just happened? What did you conclude from
what happened? This concluding thought is your trigger. Write it down
now. By listing the exact trigger in your Beep! Book you go to the next

to the mounting evidence behind 2007 as the point of no return, Malcolm Light concluded
on 22 December 2013, “We have passed the methane hydrate tipping point and are
now accelerating into extinction as the methane hydrate ‘Clathrate Gun’ has
begun firing volleys of methane into the Arctic atmosphere.” </span></div>

dissociate subsea Arctic methane hydrates.” </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Methane (CH4) is the most abundant
organic molecule in the Earth’s atmosphere. (Brasseur et al., 1999). It’s
presence was first noted in 1948 from features in the infrared absorption
spectrum (Migeotte, 1948) and it is now routinely measured. CH4 is the third
most important greenhouse gas after H2O (water) vapor and CO2 (carbon dioxide)
and has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) 25 times that of CO2 on a 100 year timescale
(Forster et al., 2007) [but over 70 times the Global Warming Potential of CO2
on a 10 year timescale, which turns out to be extremely relevant, because recent
evidence indicates that climate can shift far more suddenly than previously
suspected, in decades. Not only that, but when CH4 degrades it does not vanish.
It simply morphs into CO2 and then sticks around another 100 years continuing
to warm the globe.]</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Methane records, along with
paleo-temperature data, from both Antarctica (Petit, et al., 1999) and
Greenland (Chappellaz, et al., 1993) reveal the close correlation between
methane and millennial-scale warming and cooling. Indeed, CH4 more closely
parallels the rapid variations of polar temperature records than any other
measured gas (Chappellaz, et al., 1993). Humans have perturbed the atmospheric
methane budget to a remarkable extent. Ice core records have shown that the CH4
concentration had remained between 350 and 800 parts per billion (ppb) for the
past 650,000 years (Brook et al., 2000; Spahni et al., 2005); whereas in 2007
global mean CH4 concentration was 1775 ppb (Forster et al., 2007) [and now in 2014
it exceeds ~1820ppb (Morrison et al., 2014)]</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The sun’s energy is being absorbed on the Earth by the
ice in glaciers, methane-clathrates, and frozen tundra as it melts into water. It takes 80 calories of heat energy to change 1 cubic centimeter of ice at 0 degrees Centigrade into
a puddle of water at 0 degrees Centigrade. The remarkable thing is that the added heat is needed for the phase change, that is, to change the H2O from a solid to a liquid, from ice to water. But after absorbing the 80 calories of heat, the now melted water remains at 0 degrees Centigrade. It did not get warmer. However (and here is the shocker), if you add the same amount of heat energy, another 80 calories (just like the sun continues to add heat each day to the oceans) the little puddle of water that used to be ice now quickly jumps to 80 degrees C. </span><br />

the vast majority of newly trapped solar energy has been absorbed by the oceans

the moment they are melted enough the incoming heat shifts from melting the ice
into rapidly raising the water temperature. That is when you will see sudden

<span lang="EN-US">An uncomfortably high proportion of
current estimated arctic methane releases come from a source which is very
poorly understood, and that could conceivably change considerably in the very
near future. Both the HIPPO program and researchers at the Wegener Institute
have estimated emissions from an unexpected source – the ocean surface itself –
which demands far more scrutiny in predicting near-term evolution of arctic
conditions. This is the opposite of discussing the drama of methane hydrate –
it is a very mild source of methane emission, and is very diffuse. However, it
is deeply dependent upon sea surface conditions, which are rapidly changing
with changes in summer sea ice cover, and thus has a potential for very large
changes in its emissions rate in the very near future. The estimates of current
emissions make this source currently about the same as the total combined
emissions from subsea permafrost, free gas and some hydrate which have,
cumulatively, been widely discussed in the media, stemming from the research of
Natalia Shakhova, Igor Semiletov and others, and usually attributed in the
media to methane hydrates. The hypothesized but somewhat mysterious
biochemistry of this surface production is based on the assumption that shifts
in the N:P (nitrogen to phosphorous) ratio (one of the so-called Redfield
ratios), make aerobic methanogenesis possible in arctic surface waters, and the
estimates are that this is probably releasing about 8Tg methane annually now. Could
these emissions suddenly increase? If losses of sea ice induce further
emissions from this source, then increases could be very considerable.</span></div>

sexually attracted to you.</span></div>

I think I surf the internet because I am looking for something...<br />
something besides distractive entertainment.<br />
<br />
I think I am looking for a way out of what is not me...<br />
and a way-in to contributing my talents and gifts to Earth and her abundance of interrelated beings. <br />
<br />
<br />
I think I am seeking a way to play full out for life rather than for mere economic survival.<br />
<br />
What about you? <br />
<br />
<br />
If you surf the internet I think you are a social entrepreneur, looking for your playing field, trying to create your gameworld, with an entirely new set of rules of engagement.<br />
<br />
I think your gameworld sits directly in front of you, begging for you to take one step along the path that further skills-you-up through taking each further step.<br />
<br />

<br />
I think a part of you knows this each morning when you wake up - you have a sense of the one possible first step in front of you that you could take...<br />
<br />
...it stares you right in the face before you move each morning.<br />
<br />
I think the part of you that sees the action you could take tries to look away as fast as possible, for numerous reasons. Reason number one is that you feel terrified.<br />
<br />
You are terrified because you went to school where you learned to sit silently in rows and be still, for weeks... for years.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But if you take a step now to apply your unique talents to solve problems in the world, you would have to move.<br />
<br />
You would have to step out of line. And you are still afraid of getting punished for being out of line... <br />
<br />
Still, here you are, reading this blog. I think you are reading it to get yourself a new possibility.<br />
<br />
So here is the new possibility: You are no longer in school. That game is over.<br />
<br />
(Or if you are still in school, you shouldn't be, because it is still trying to teach you to "Stand still, Laddy!")<br />
<br />
The other part of the new possibility is that if you escape the school system and do experiments as a social entrepreneur you are not alone. There are thousands of social entrepreneurs out here, all around the world, playing full out to make the changes one-step-at-a-time that make the world a better place for everyone.<br />

<br />
Social entrepreneur (r)evolutionaries don't have guns. They don't have money. They don't have political power. What they do have is a simple idea for dealing with what is right in front of them in a new way, and they have the same curious, inventive, rule-breaking, nonlinear urges that you have, plus deep inside, the same fear.<br />
<br />
The only difference between them and you is that these social entrepreneurs have made one new decision: They have decided that taking that step is more important than the fear that comes with. It's a sacrifice they make. They feel the fear and take the step anyway, and many other people benefit. To them it is a fair trade, part of the job.<br />
<br />
What is interesting though, is that through taking the present step, that fear automatically changes into a resource of wisdom and energy for taking the next further step that automatically appears after taking the first step.<br />
<br />
So.<br />
<br />
What about you? What about changing your mind?<br />

You will know that you have made a new decision when you suddenly take a step that is right in front of you on the path of being a social entrepreneur, whatever that step is.<br />
<br />
It might be simply to watch this Social Entrepreneur video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk5LI_WcosQ#t=509 <br />
<br />
It might me to make a Kiva loan: www.kiva.org <br />
<br />
It might be to hold a weekly neighborhood potluck dinner at your house to check-in with your neighbors about becoming more resilient together.<br />
<br />
It might be to have a rotating neighborhood de-lawning and veggie-garden planting party, like Ron Finley and his Guerrilla Gardening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzZzZ_qpZ4w<br />

It might be calling people over for a movie and watching the video End:Civ with Derrick Jensen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hx-G1uhRqA and sitting together afterwords sharing about your experiences from it.<br />
<br />
It might be a few of you committing to each other as adults helping each other grow up through ongoing initiatory processes - committing to each other to such a degree that even society's money neurosis cannot get in the way of more love happening.<br />
<br />
One step leads to another. There is no top end. Please keep going!<br />

culture prohibits its citizens from growing up, because if you grow up you reclaim the precise clarity and power required to withdraw your franchise from the

path of ongoing adulthood initiatory processes, every thought, word, feeling or
action you take is in relationship to your parents. Unconsciously you submit your
every creation and your very life to your parents’ approval, acceptance,
judgment, and criticism. Yes?</span></div>

things so that your parents own you. Even if you hate your parents they own you.
Even if you love your parents they own you. Even if you do not care about your
parents they still own you – until you make your growing up processes the central theme of your life, so that initiatory processes occupy the place in you your parents once held. </span></div>

ongoing adulthood initiations you can never truly be responsible because your parents are still responsible for you. If you cannot be responsible, you have no power. That means until you engage the path of
growing up you cannot choose your partner, your job, or where you will live, you cannot declare what is so or what is not so, and you cannot seriously question anything. Every commitment you make is tentative, awaiting your parents’ approval.
Whether your parents are alive or dead, whether you see them frequently or never,
until you are taking step after step along the path of growing up you do not
dance in the flow of life but rather you stand in the shadow of your parents. </span></div>

Like a lion or an amoeba, the adult is designed in relationship to the way the Earth

culture, with all of its technologies and conveniences, provides no guidance
and no opportunity for engaging ongoing adulthood initiatory processes. It
is therefore no wonder that modern culture’s political systems, military
organizations, governments, businesses, and churches are typically managed by
irresponsible and often psychopathic personalities who have done whatever it
takes to acquire top positions in the hierarchical power structures. So-called
"leaders" in modern culture remain uninitiated adolescents making uninitiated
adolescent quality choices. In the modern world, almost no one has grown up. The
Earth, the creatures of the Earth, the people of the Earth, you, and everyone you know are suffering as a
consequence.</span></div>

thought-limits of your birth culture to continue on a path of ongoing adulthood
initiatory processes takes tremendous courage. Yet the alternative of living
out the life of an uninitiated adolescent is so painful. Not opening your inner
pearl, not distinguishing your bright and shadow principles, not connecting in
and serving your archetypal lineage is so depressing, so confusing, so
discouraging, so disrespectful of the gift of being human. In comparison, the
fear of taking your future into your own hands and choosing a path of
initiation even when most people around you do not understand and may not
approve of what you are doing, becomes small enough to be irrelevant. Then you can feel a little bit afraid but still go ahead... </span><br />

Design factors for continued human presence on Earth (a draft):<br />
<br />
Human cultures have evolved from: <br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><i>matriarchal </i>(baby cultures, not yet
able to take responsibility, Earth is a gigantic amorphous salad bar
open 24/7/365 and Mom takes care of things), </li>
<li>to <i>patriarchal</i> (adolescent
cultures, trains humans to avoid responsibility, linear, technical,
hierarchical power structures, slavery, ownership of land and
"resources," weaponry, conquest, empire, "we live on the Earth," "the
Earth and its resources are ours to pillage," father knows best,
building civilization for the benefit of the wealthy and powerful), </li>
<li>to <i>
archearchal </i>(adult cultures, trains humans in taking radical
responsibility, "Earth is not our planet," "we cannot own the Earth, the
Earth owns us," "we are the Earth," creative collaboration between the
initiated archetypal adult woman and the initiated archetypal adult man,
circular power structures, livingry, building matrix for the evolution
of consciousness).</li>
</ol>
For your information, archearchy is not theoretical. Archearchal cultures are already alive and well thriving on <a href="http://www.ecovillage.org/" target="_blank">Earth</a>. You could visit one today. Or you could design and move into your own.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Modern culture is <i>patriarchy</i>, more specifically, <i>capitalistic patriarchal empire</i>.
Modern culture governments are owned and run by multinational
corporations, dedicated to creating ever more corporate profits
regardless of social and ecological costs. The model for civilization as
defined by large governments and corporations has come to its end. It
is not falling apart so much as we are taking it apart to escape it,
like a child must escape her parents' home to grow up, like a butterfly
must escape its chrysalis to fly.<br />
<br />
Next culture is <i>archearchy</i>. Archearchal cultures have a number of common characteristics, such as:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7sE9SziJu318s1jbfWWO-eVARF8Fomy__Nbye3h3JCpblRpE4QkWs0vfquhQJsNVmFilST6QAgKuC5q3G5HjNgJqwcQ6goHa_koDlxG7emgSx570yEa744DwHdYGCkc2qiHFfj4rLJbM/s1600/Gremlin+Free-Roving+Gremlins+Not+Permitted+www.nextculture.org.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>
<li>
Three people with a common purpose and a common context can start a new
country (culture) by becoming an energetic configuration of commitment.</li>
<li>
The basic characteristic for being a country is resilience based on
local sustainable authority, local sustainable production of food, local sustainable energy supply, etc.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>
There is always more room for a new country in the global ethnosphere.
In the catalog of Earth countries the characteristics and specialties
(music, foods, festivals, handcrafts, meeting technologies, clothing,
architecture, social customs, initiations offered, healing practices,
etc.) of each country are specified. Each person as part of their
ongoing initiation into adulthood chooses the culture/culture they want
to live in. One initiation (the initiation of cultural relativity) is <i>walkabout </i>which includes visiting 30 different countries during 5 years between the ages of 15 and 23.</li>
<li>
The concept that a country (culture) must be associated with a specific
piece of land (From which entity does a country purchase this land?
Earth? How does Earth receive payment?) is merely a concept that is easy
to understand. But just because a concept can be understood does not
mean it has any relationship to reality. </li>
<li>
Thinking that funding from outside, meaning from other countries, has
value for a country is an illusion; worse, is it delusion; worse, it is
globalization happening again, meaning one country becoming the slave of
another country.</li>
<li>
No slavery (in other words, no employees).</li>
<li>
No private or corporate ownership of Earth (neither land nor "natural resources").</li>
<li>
No hierarchical power structures. Hierarchical power structures arise
from unconscious fears and are designed for control, domination, and
power over others. Using hierarchical power structures is a design
error. In a hierarchical power structure the people who do whatever it
takes to climb the power structure get the top positions. People who
will do "whatever it takes" to climb a power structure have no
conscience (meaning they lack the connections between heart and energetic-body
and mind). In other words, a hierarchical power structure automatically
selects for psychopaths and sociopaths. Instead, circular power
structures with rotating spaceholders are used such as in holocracy and
the Phoenix Process.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7sE9SziJu318s1jbfWWO-eVARF8Fomy__Nbye3h3JCpblRpE4QkWs0vfquhQJsNVmFilST6QAgKuC5q3G5HjNgJqwcQ6goHa_koDlxG7emgSx570yEa744DwHdYGCkc2qiHFfj4rLJbM/s1600/Gremlin+Free-Roving+Gremlins+Not+Permitted+www.nextculture.org.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7sE9SziJu318s1jbfWWO-eVARF8Fomy__Nbye3h3JCpblRpE4QkWs0vfquhQJsNVmFilST6QAgKuC5q3G5HjNgJqwcQ6goHa_koDlxG7emgSx570yEa744DwHdYGCkc2qiHFfj4rLJbM/s320/Gremlin+Free-Roving+Gremlins+Not+Permitted+www.nextculture.org.jpg" width="226" /></a></li>
<li>
No exchange rate between a country's own currency and any other
currency. Most often a country's currency is creative collaboration.</li>
<li>
No absentee ownership. No franchises.</li>
<li>
No beliefs. Beliefs have no relationship to reality. Anybody can believe
anything about anything. If beliefs are regarded as having legitimacy,
then one country might believe eating hotdogs is sacred and wasting
hotdogs is heresy punishable by death, while the next country might
believe preserving hotdogs is sacred and eating hotdogs is heresy
punishable by death. If these countries do not understand that Belief
Systems are B.S. then they will be incessantly at war with each other,
and worse than that, they will be susceptible to takeover by a more
tantalizing Belief System (like the Mayans of Ecuador were taken over by
sunglasses and bluejeans).</li>
<li>
No war. Each country limits their population with another means than war
to match their food supply so that members have a high quality of life
(enough locally grown food). War is low drama Gremlin feeding frenzy and
only seems justified if you fail to distinguish between Box and Being. </li>
<li>
No waste. No disposables. Cradle to cradle designs. No externalizing costs. No externalizing wastes. No subsidies.</li>
</ul>

Thumbscrews are metallic torture devices progressively tightened on your thumbs until your will is destroyed.<br />
<br />
You are wearing thumbscrews since childhood.<br />
<br />
If they somehow get a little loose, you tighten them back on yourself, just to keep things feeling normal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With a crushed will you don't even try doing what you are capable of doing because even vaguely thinking about it brings up the fear that the screws will be tightened even more.<br />
<br />
You have memories...<br />

<br />
1. Screws are clamped on your brain to cripple your perceiving and thinking so you can only function within a framework of external authority. From then on, instead of ongoingly generating interesting new frameworks from within yourself, you search for the "correct" framework outside of yourself. You automatically adapt to that external authority so you know what to do and when to do it without getting in trouble. Your life curriculum is already determined. Nobody has ever asked you what you want to learn (as in the film <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Accepted-Full-Screen-Justin-Long/dp/B000IZJZJ4/ref=sr_1_3?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1388046600&sr=1-3&keywords=accepted" target="_blank">Accepted</a>) so you can't imagine that asking this question of yourself might be valid. Unpredictable actions never become an option.<br />

<br />
2. Screws are clamped on your heart so that feeling numb equals feeling good. Your rocket fuel is locked away. Your squeeze-dried heart can no longer cry out what is important to you.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
3. Screws are clamped to your body so you cannot engage in work that matters to you. Instead you merely survive.<br />

4. And perhaps most horrifyingly, clamp-rings squeeze your being, so you cannot unfold into what you are, which means you cannot give what you have because you don't have it, and you cannot let yourself be seen because you cannot be you.<br />

As we speak, you allow the schools and corporations to screw your children in the same way because your memories prove that, if you interfere, the pain could be applied to
you again. You feel completely trapped and helpless.<br />

After a couple decades the handicap becomes normal. Even if you suddenly recognize that present culture is suiciding the planet, you are unable to take unprescribed actions.<br />

You are too numb and scared to leave your pitiful job. <br />

You are too disconnected from yourself to creatively organize with like-minded people to develop a culture that you would love to live in.<br />
<br />
You are too ashamed to admit that the slave masters have succeeded in sucking out your will. Since you think you are keeping this a secret you cannot ask for help.<br />
<br />
You cannot stop shopping, drinking, smoking, overeating.<br />
<br />
You cannot stop those occasional rage fits, or the depression.<br />
<br />
You cannot turn off and discard your TV.<br />
<br />
You cannot resist the internet sex. <br />
<br />
You cannot wear old clothes or go without shaving your armpits or legs. <br />
<br />
You cannot hesitate to compare yourself to the computer-enhanced magazine images of ideal product users.<br />
<br />
And you cannot speak openly for fear of being beaten into submission again.<br />
<br />
What sort of spineless scum have you become?<br />
<br />
No amount of increased awareness can get you to change behavior because your will has been snuffed. Any resistance must be nonviolent for fear the pain will return.<br />

You are a prisoner of memories of childhood nightmares. What is the use of trying to get out? You may as well keep putting on the smiley face and pretending everything is just fine.<br />
<br />
Sure it hurts to keep the thumb screws on.<br />
<br />
But it probably hurts even more to loosen the screws and feel your lifeblood start circulating into unexpected capacities. Is that even possible? Could unrecognized beneficial talents still come to life?<br />
<br />
That is an edgework question.<br />
<br />
Who put the thumbscrews on, actually?<br />
<br />
What was their original purpose?<br />
<br />
Are conditions still the same around you?<br />
<br />
Have you learned anything in the meantime that could make a different solution possible for you now? <br />
<br />
What if you discovered there were small secret teams all over the world helping each other loosen the thumbscrews on all four bodies? Slowly, carefully, and thoroughly. Without permission. Taking extraordinary actions by the power of their own authority.<br />

oil, predatory capitalism that demolishes economic stability, and no
proactivity towards overpopulation, health care, pollution, sustainable energy,
or developing the potential of each person. If we assemble the world’s
politicians to agree on a fair, ambitious and binding treaty for reversing
climate change all we get is procrastination. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There is deep
longing in the human heart to follow a good king. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Can you feel it in you? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">But where is the good king to serve? Our deep longing is why we gullibly
believe campaign promises even when we know candidates will betray us.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Politicians
compromise to please their benefactors. Leaders understand there are things you
cannot compromise on. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Politicians believe what they have now is probably better
than the risk and fear that come with change. Leaders make change. They go
first, pushing something forward that they believe in. They paint a new picture
of the future and then gather and empower leaders with flexibility to go there.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you lead you
may be labeled a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">heretic</i>, or these
days, a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">terrorist. </i>The
profound fear of being singled out and thrown into some nameless prison keeps
most people’s mouths and souls tightly shut. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For those of you who feel to afraid to be yourself, here is one
useful fact. Today there are too many heretics to capture. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">PHASE 1: IDENTIFY
YOUR LEADERS Your leaders are the people who open doors for you to expand into
greater personal capacity. You have thought-leaders, action-leaders and
life-leaders. Who has empowered you? Beware that a leader may not necessarily
feel like a friend. This is because a leader is not motivated to act in ways
that make them more popular. A leader says what needs to be heard, and persists
until it changes the circumstances.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Perhaps you are
empowered by your mother or father? A school teacher? An author? Explorer?
Researcher? Filmmaker? Artist? Perhaps one of your leaders is a faraway blogger
who just keeps delivering eye-opening text to you. Perhaps it is the person
leading a weekly meeting or a training session that you attend. Is there a
climate activist, poet, musician or performer who is a leader for you? Think
about it. Who nurtures your heart, inspires your soul, brings clarity to your mind
and stamina to your body over the long haul? Perhaps your partner is a leader
for you? Or one of your siblings? List ten of your true leaders and how they inspire
you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">PHASE 2: SUPPORT
YOUR LEADERS Paying taxes supports politicians. They use half your tax money to
buy weapons, subsidize corporate profits, and pay their own expenses. Figure
out ways to support <u><i>your </i></u><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>leaders</u></i>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Your first idea may be to donate money to your leaders’ projects. This is
important, for sure, yet there are many other things you can do. For example, it
is mind-boggling how many people derive enormous benefit from the work of a
leader and yet never tell anyone else about it! They keep it secret! </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Stop
hiding away your leaders! Make it a practice to tell short exciting stories
about what you learned from a leader. More ideas? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you have any bootlegged films, music
or software throw away your collections and buy the real thing. This supports
the creators you love. </span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Communicate with your leaders and write them public thank you notes.
(e.g. Thank Leonardo DiCaprio for the way he died in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blood Diamond</i>. Exclaim your gratitude for the brilliant life-joy and dynamic genius of Lana Wachowski's speach at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crHHycz7T_c. Tell Kosha Anja Joubert how masterfully she navigated the 2013 Global Ecovillage Network conference in Switzerland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2YIcIqn5OI) </span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Participate in your leader’s classes and workshops. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Buy their books, CDs and DVDs and give them to <i>everybody </i>you know for
birthday or Christmas gifts. Your relatives might not read the books, but you never know who will come over and borrow them!</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Go online and blog about the work of your leaders. Explain what they are saying in your own words.</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Give five star ratings. Write radiantly vulnerable online endorsements. </span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Share
links to their websites and blogs. </span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Build their legend. </span></li>
</ul>

functioning in an entirely different paradigm</i>, e.g. Occupy World Street <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.occupyworldstreet.org&h=gAQHwARiS&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">www.occupyworldstreet.org</a>.</span></span></span><br />

If your self-image is based on what you see when you look in the mirror, your woman is on the way to being very bored.<br />
<br />
Sure, it makes sense to think of yourself as hair, skin, meat and bones, with clothes on, a solid, visible personality. After all, there you are in the mirror. You see that reflection with every wrinkle and pimple. The feedback is undeniable. Your own father probably imagined himself to be something very similar. He is your role model.<br />
<br />
Think about it. Either you want to be like your father, or you want to be <em>nothing</em> like your father.<br />
<br />
<em>Either way makes him your role model!</em><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You look at yourself in the mirror and you think, <em>I am the bread winner. </em>Or you think, <em>I'm failing to be the breadwinner</em>. <br />

You think, <em>I bring security, stability and protection</em>, or <em>I fail to bring security, stability or protection</em>.<br />
<br />
You think, <em>I know the way, I have the answers</em>, or you think, <em>I don't know how it goes because nobody ever cared enough about me to show me</em>. <br />
<br />
You think, <em>I am a strong reliable leader</em>, or you think, <em>I am weak and ineffective as a husband, father, leader, I am not reliable</em>. <br />

We ongoingly know ourselves to be successfully fulfilling our self image, or failing to live up to our self image. And that is exactly what makes us boring to women, because we insist on seeing ourselves as someone who <em>must</em> be knowable.<br />

If we can be known, then we should know who we are, right? Do you know who you are? <br />
<br />
If we can be known, then we must exhibit predictable behavior, hold steadfast opinions, maintain old decisions, not change our tastes. Herein lies the conflict. We imagine that we should identify ourselves as the content of our lives, and as soon as we identify ourselves as content we are killable.<br />
<br />
For example, as soon as our woman has an opinion that is different from ours we think we are supposed to defend our position stronger than she defends hers or we are not men. <br />
<br />
As soon as our child disagrees or argues with us we are forced to prove ourselves right or win by force, or else we are not the parent. <br />
<br />
In neither case does the idea cross our mind to change the game.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
By now most men have stopped reading this article. Yet this is exactly the point where it becomes interesting. <br />
<br />
We stop reading because we have already paid full price to join the patriarchy. We have exchanged our souls for the illusion of safety and power defined by the hierarchy of godfathers. We cannot comprehend that we could regard ourselves as anything other than what we have always been: needy, greedy, sucking little boys, chasing after mommy for the goodies, trying to one-up each other for favors, being exactly what looks out at us from the mirror each morning, with emotional justifications to match. <br />
<br /><br />
<strong>WHAT ELSE?</strong><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbYJKlDv-h4oSr3CHxp0kE9nGv4PqTuFt8FWOCYn4-OgiyR0_9uw9RR-cDXJdfViVW60Cp-T4FGsLTlrwfAc3qqcXkecgEo-8AWjme8MEXshRwmwl6VxYPbXpnWGXnfTaTh4qVtwVnP0U/s1600/BILD1911.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbYJKlDv-h4oSr3CHxp0kE9nGv4PqTuFt8FWOCYn4-OgiyR0_9uw9RR-cDXJdfViVW60Cp-T4FGsLTlrwfAc3qqcXkecgEo-8AWjme8MEXshRwmwl6VxYPbXpnWGXnfTaTh4qVtwVnP0U/s320/BILD1911.JPG" width="240" /></a>If you are knowable then you can be projected upon. You are a target for expectations. Expectations kill intimacy. One unfulfilled expectation is enough to generate resentment. Then whenever you touch her you trigger her resentment. She doesn't feel you; she feels her resentment. It is a mess.<br />
<br />
I am saying that you, as a man, <em>can</em> have a completely different quality of self image. There are many additional options to play with. Each format opens an entirely new world of relationship with your present, with your destiny, <em>and with your woman</em>. <br />
<br />
What if who you are is not what you see in the mirror? What if that thing is only a vehicle or antenna for who you are?<br />
<br />
For most of us this seems like an absolutely insane line of inquiry. What else could there possibly be than what we see in the mirror?<br />
<br />
What else indeed!<br />

Below is a list of alternative options to the question: <em>What else could I be?</em><br />
<br />
Regarding the options on the list below as <em>concepts</em> or as <em>good ideas</em> cements you into your mind, which makes you even <em>more</em> boring that being flesh and bones.<br />
<br />
The proposals listed below are not concepts. They are invitations to experimental action. <br />
<br />
Each experimental orientation starts with the word "I". But the experiment is not about "I". The experiment is about what is there instead of the "I". So forget the "I" part. The "I" just gets in the way.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>NEW ABILITIES</strong><br />
Shifting from representing yourself as a knowable, visible, solid, stable man who brings home the bacon, to being one of the spaces listed below will involve going through some initiatory processes and developing some new abilities. <br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCLwLHGNfZ7tePwJ9V-knTrArZIXprG7uJIARN966zo43SkSzj9fc0dHqRmuCIZRcpQT-92wgtxPjKdDaMCNWBmSP3LL_kbJJMDh4kEVuG6P4P910e4i5iouv6soZxWc1XdEJGysGH8q8/s1600/Next+Culture+Learning+dot+Org+Detail+Bag+Of+Everything.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCLwLHGNfZ7tePwJ9V-knTrArZIXprG7uJIARN966zo43SkSzj9fc0dHqRmuCIZRcpQT-92wgtxPjKdDaMCNWBmSP3LL_kbJJMDh4kEVuG6P4P910e4i5iouv6soZxWc1XdEJGysGH8q8/s320/Next+Culture+Learning+dot+Org+Detail+Bag+Of+Everything.jpg" width="177" /></a>You need the ability to declare what is - which only comes after the ability to accept what is, because you first need to start where you are with an accurate assessment of current reality before you can shift the details into something else, otherwise you are merely another fool in a fantasy world. <br />
<br />
You need the ability to go nonlinear and make right-angle turns at light speed - which only comes after seven to ten deep healing and growing-up processes to change your relationship to what happened to you in your childhood and some past lives (<a href="http://www.nextculturetrainings.org/">www.nextculturetrainings.org</a>) so that you can lighten your load and drop energetic, conceptual and emotional baggage. <br />
<br />
You cannot change what happened to you in the past because it happened in the past. But what happened is not what determines how you show up now. You show up now according to the tricks you figured out for surviving through what happened to you in the past. However, you already survived, but you have not gone through the initiation of <em>recapitulation</em>, so you still function reflexively in your survival strategy. You are trapped in what was once a very good plan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOzJ0_m0mItq1-COVvhpnqaATGuqPPwbuv4Mz3VKS820e7BLoUHUogFIrAZbtvWOF-9rAESyi5oacnnAAKtw1BVpKUBxxYWAr9uKIWQzsMItE6_C5-LLw8m5n_kwrH-ifZCIGWc9Iz7Zk/s1600/Next+Culture+Learning+dot+Org+Detail+Paint+Brush.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOzJ0_m0mItq1-COVvhpnqaATGuqPPwbuv4Mz3VKS820e7BLoUHUogFIrAZbtvWOF-9rAESyi5oacnnAAKtw1BVpKUBxxYWAr9uKIWQzsMItE6_C5-LLw8m5n_kwrH-ifZCIGWc9Iz7Zk/s320/Next+Culture+Learning+dot+Org+Detail+Paint+Brush.jpg" width="147" /></a></div>
<strong>RECAPITULATING</strong><br />
Recapitulation is systemmatic neutral transformative introspection. <br />
<br />
Recapitulation distinguishes your survival reaction triggers from what is actually happening to you right now so you get immediate new options for behavior. <br />
<br />
Recapitulation springs you from an ancient prison that you long ago forgot you locked yourself into.<br />
<br />
Recapitulation starts with new <a href="http://www.nextculture.org/T.160.0.html?&L=0" target="_blank">thoughtmaps</a> of feelings so you can be painfully clear about what happened to you in the past without being a victim of it anymore. Then you can freely detect what meanings you gave to what happened back then, and decide if you want to keep or change those meanings in order to reclaim your power of present attention, your inalienable authority, your unique contributory talents, and your free spirit. <br />
<br />
This takes efforts, of course. It requires re-prioritizing the energy that you may presently be using up trying to represent yourself as being a "sane" and "successful" "man," as if you knew what those things are...<br />
<br /><br />
<strong>EXPERIMENTS</strong><br />
Each experiment below invites you to center yourself in a non-knowable self-image. Choose one and use it for a full week (or the rest of your life) without ever shifting back to being something knowable: (Remember, <em>forget the "I".</em> )<br />

As magnificent as it is, creation has no self-awareness. It just is. It does not realize that it is.<br />
<br />
I think most of us are the same. We are zombies. Look in someones eyes. Just keep looking into their eyes and watch what they do. What do they do? They look away. They look away to stay asleep. <br />
<br />
We are the walking dead. Why else would we eat junk food from terrorist companies who murder ecosystems for the illusion of profit? We are numb. We are sleeping.<br />
<br />
We hold beliefs and assumptions and interpretations and conclusions unconsciously. We react unconsciously thinking that because we feel incomplete-emotions re-triggered from our childhood that it <em>means</em> something - something important enough to start a war over. <br />
<br />
If we repeatedly do things the way we've always done them, the way our parents did them, we think we are justified - or we feel justified by doing the opposite. (<em>We are as well imprisoned by what we oppose</em> - this is why the OCCUPY# movement provides its greatest value when people implement new systems that make the presiding systems plainly irrelevant - and clearly not as much fun.)<br />
<br />
We do what we're told and assume that we are good. We do what everybody else does and assume that we are safe. We are unaware that we are choosing unconsciously because we never considered that we have another option. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip2BkSWn9w6NKb216_r64LzfDi-3sBBXqcnVdPNKX2bVSueqvbBkiQT-C_4GHRyZLZ3cTxevZq_0lP_BegUvQJKjf5gx2j336wcypJQi6LKsCQZV1IyRzGCesKD_Q-GlpcLO5F-9tdVKs/s1600/Book+Radiant+Joy+Dreamstime_911007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip2BkSWn9w6NKb216_r64LzfDi-3sBBXqcnVdPNKX2bVSueqvbBkiQT-C_4GHRyZLZ3cTxevZq_0lP_BegUvQJKjf5gx2j336wcypJQi6LKsCQZV1IyRzGCesKD_Q-GlpcLO5F-9tdVKs/s1600/Book+Radiant+Joy+Dreamstime_911007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>But we do have another option. The other option is to go <em>pirate</em>. To take responsibility for things which we were taught cannot be taken responsibility for. This is called <em>radical responsibility</em>. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSz9cWLFmjBc38UPWuUFtAQxHEAhS1PEBu9of7Yj-FYSPmQ39x3WF5Oq6cCs_cHVVaYdHVz5sXnfhDs5zRjc4rpVl1UFJsR3X-2Ii3pk1uQutDyNZZEgPA6ddY8xj1fc8G3dl4qJfnvg/s1600/IMG_5312.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSz9cWLFmjBc38UPWuUFtAQxHEAhS1PEBu9of7Yj-FYSPmQ39x3WF5Oq6cCs_cHVVaYdHVz5sXnfhDs5zRjc4rpVl1UFJsR3X-2Ii3pk1uQutDyNZZEgPA6ddY8xj1fc8G3dl4qJfnvg/s320/IMG_5312.JPG" width="240" /></a>Radical responsibility is uncommon, because if you stand in radical responsibility there is no one to blame for what happens next except yourself. On the other hand, when there is no one else to blame, who has the power? Being responsibly and consciously at source for what is, and for what happens, can be exquisitely pleasurable.<br />
<br />
It is possible to live in a culture that is <em>centered</em> in radical responsibility. This culture is called <em>next culture</em>, the culture that comes <em>after</em> patriarchy. It is <em>archearchy</em>, a culture of initiated adult women creatively collaborating with initiated adult men. You do not get into such a culture without growing up. In modern culture there are no grownups. Not even the United Nations tells the adolescent and psychopathic personalities who have done whatever it takes to climb corporate-political hierarchies, <em>"Stop it! No! That is not okay! No lying, no cheating, no stealing! Don't even think about touching that! It's not yours! Clean up your room! You are grounded!"</em> Without adults, another species was just exterminated.<br />
<br />
We make many moment-to-moment choices. Because we are mostly sleeping, most of our choices are unconscious. One of the most important unconscious choices we make is where we place our attention, because <em>where your attention goes your energy flows</em>. This is why corporations pay billions a year trying to get your attention. If they get your attention they've got your wallet. The embarrassing thing is that advertising costs are more than compensated by our easily-seduced weak-willed attention.<br />
<br />
You wonder why you are burned out? You wonder why your relationship is weak? You wonder why you're exhausted? Do you know where your attention is going? Where your energy is flowing?<br />
<br />
It is easy to prove that you have the ability to consciously choose where you place your attention. (To do this experiment, stop reading for a second, look at your finger. Look at it until you feel your attention on your finger, then look back here and continue reading.) You can consciously choose where to place your attention, but for the most part we place our attention unconsciously. <br />
<br />
You could change your mind about leaving your attention open for others to use. You could go <em>pirate</em>. The kind of pirate I mean is when you break with custom and takeover choosing where and why you place your attention. You can develop your attention muscles until you can walk through a train station and not even once give your attention to the half-naked women splayed across advertising posters. (That photoshopped image, by the way, is <em>not</em> the Goddess...)<br />
<br />
After you can consciously place or not place your attention somewhere for as long as you choose, you can start learning to split your attention. <br />
<br />
Human beings have the designed-in capacity to split attention. We split our attention unconsciously every day. For example, we ride down the street on our bicycle chewing gum, listening to our MP3 player, thinking about our plans and checking out the babes all at the same time. Splitting our attention five ways is normal for us, unconsciously. We can also split our attention on purpose. <br />
<br />
There are many exercises for strengthening your capacity for consciously splitting your attention. Look at any object, for example, a lamp. Then in your mind, while remembering that it is a lamp, call it by a different name, such as cranberry sauce, frying pan, anaconda, or ski pole. Then look at another object and keep going. You can think up and practice a completely new attention-splitting exercise each day. <br />
<br />
Just remembering the idea to practice attention-splitting exercises requires that you keep your attention from getting knocked unconscious by your daily squirrel-cage routine. A warning: Developing your attention-splitting muscles takes you beyond the grip and thoughtlimits of modern culture.<br />
<br />

Split your attention, then place part of your attention on where you are placing your attention. Notice what you are noticing with. See how you are seeing. Watch yourself watching. Become aware of what you are aware of right now. Say to yourself, <em>"What I am aware of right now is..." </em>Do this for awhile and the space will shift. You will find yourself in the <em>waking state</em>. How long can you stay in the waking state? In the time that you are being conscious of what you are conscious of you have brought the bit of creation that you are to life. By bringing a part of creation to life you alleviate the suffering of the Goddess. <br />
<br />
She does not let such efforts go uncompensated...<br />

<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Yes, my friends, I, (and perhaps we
all), deeply resonate with the idea of shifting wholesale to a good-willed,
sustainable, next culture... and...</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">I want to remind us what Morpheus told Neo in Matrix: <em>There's a
difference between knowing the path and walking the path.</em> </span><br />

<br />
<span lang="EN-US">I am finished with standing around

<span lang="EN-US">I will do whatever it takes to awaken the sleeping pirate in each of
us - the one with enough daring to uproot our lives wholesale from the suicidal systems of modern culture even when we
don't know how. The secret to successful pirating is recognizing that we <em>won't</em> know how until we have already committed ourselves.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">I think the universe conserves "know-how." The universe only
provides know-how to those who already commit to the next outcome by pulling
up their own stakes from the capitalist patriarchal empire and heading out.</span><br />
<br />

<em></em> <br />
<em>How will you personally shift to sustainable culture?</em> <em>By when will you do this?</em><br />
<br />
I, for one, with a small group of pirate friends, have closed all
debts, ended all insurances, cashed in all investments, ended all rents, stashed our things, and with a backpack and a netbook will head out mid-September 2012 for an
indefinite period of time to empower whoever the universe puts in our path with
next culture pirate skills. <em>Harbigaar!</em></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US">(and I stress the "Dear" part...)</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Here are 3 questions:</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
<span lang="EN-US">1) It seems imperative that oil extraction from the Ecuadorian Amazon be FOREVER stopped, and oil companies punished and taken out of business for having already raped so much of the jungles and disrupted indigenous tribes and tropical ecologies. What stops Avaaz from maximizing action in Ecuador? </span></div><br />
<span lang="EN-US">2) How can Avaaz empower people working in mainstream companies and the military and governments to simply quit their jobs, go home, and grow community gardens instead? </span><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">Let's take the insane systems down. Please. For example, <span lang="EN-US">Avaaz can empower women to stop teaching their daughters to be slaves of the capitalistic patriarchal empire.</span>T</span>he evolution could literally happen overnight when women say to their husbands: "Quit your job or you will <em><u>never</u></em> touch me again..." </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">3) When does the Avaaz Global Homeschool for Sustainable Culture start? I want to be part of it.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US">Thank you so much for creating a global nation which gives the 99% some clout.</span><br />

<tr> <td valign="top"><div style="color: #505050; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 150%; text-align: left;"><blockquote>"There is a war going on between those who believe that the power of information lies in its capacity to be withheld—that information is power if you can keep it to yourself. This is not how it works really. Information is power if you can share it, validate it, vet it, and contribute it to that global awareness that <em>we are all here in the process of creating</em>."<br />
- John Perry Barlow (italics mine. BB)</blockquote>Being "in the process of creating" applies to individual personal growth as well as social change. The open sharing of information--undoing secrets and lies--is the fundamental source of both personal and political power. Personal growth and activism are parts of the same movement. We start with personal growth and grow to activism.<br />
Here are a few distinctions that mark a trail from personal growth to the creation of a new social order: <br />
Your mind is not your being.<br />
Your performance is not your identity.<br />
Your being notices.<br />
Your mind thinks.<br />
One of the things your mind thinks is that it notices. <br />
Your mind is wrong about that. Your mind is not capable of noticing. <br />
Your mind makes clang associations between current and past events, makes comparisons and pretends the resulting conclusions are real. Interpretations can be useful, but when presented as reality this is phony information that can cost you your life. Your mind lies to you and others about this all the time. Belief is not perception.<br />
Fundamentalists of all religions attempt to have judgments based on interpretations be more important than experience. Noticing actual experience becomes secondary to maintaining belief. This is a mistake with terribly deadly consequences over the last 5400 years of civilization and is getting worse as we speak. Each minute civilization ages, fundamentalist belief-in-belief mind frames about religion and money threaten human extinction.<br />
Your mind is also incorrect about who you are. Your mind thinks that who you are is the sum total of your performances and how well you have performed. If you buy that, and identify yourself as the sum and judged quality of your performances, your chance for personal happiness is completely ruined, along with hope for human survival. <br />
Your mind was formed in a culture--the Western Alliance Christian Kapitalist Korporate Kleptomaniac Oligarchy (WACKKKO!). Your culture is insane.<br />
<strong>The REVEAL-U-TION IS THE REVOLUTION!</strong><br />
You can pause in the chaos of today's modern world, renew and restore your creative focus on your own life and make your presence a gift and example to others. Your capacity to identify yourself as a present tense noticing being can change your delusional reactive life to a creative life--one that helps people instead of depriving and killing people for illusory selfish gain. Being grounded in the present, related to gravity and other people in the simplest way, changes everything. Then, as your friends discover the same wisdom you and they become artists in affiliation with each other. Then we can destroy the dysfunctional systems that support the antiquated ways of identifying ourselves and build institutions that nourish our more grounded compassionate honest identity as beings with minds, rather than minds dominating beings! <br />
Those of us who relate to each other and to others with compassion can win out. We don't need all these cops and soldiers and wars if we are no longer obeying the old bullshit hierarchy of belief. The ongoing open revelation of what is actually so, radical honesty, is how empathy gets stronger in you and in the world at the same time. It is also a possible voluntary choice for life. We invite you to join us. We are building a world wide anti-cult cult! <br />
<strong>BECOME A MEMBER OF THE RADICAL HONESTY REVELATION REVOLUTION--THE UNITED STATES OF BEING! (USOB!)</strong><br />
Give us your name and email address and what city you live in or near and some money. We would like $5 a month or $50 a year or $200 for a lifetime membership. However, your membership fee is whatever you can pay. If you don't have any money then don't pay anything and just sign up and you are a member. If you have a little give a little. If you have a lot, give a lot. Just join and pay what you can. We expect USOB's to be honest! <br />
(If you pay the two hundred you get a nice t-shirt that says: "I DON'T NEED SEX. A GIANT CORPORATION FUCKS ME EVERY DAY!") Let's build our membership until we are the world. We can occupy everything and never give it back! <br />

</tbody></table>The alarm woke me up this morning in the middle of a dream. I was in an American suburb, brown wooden houses close packed into rolling hills under a California blue sky, perhaps near San Francisco. It was late morning. No cars passed. I was standing at a T intersection with Marion and Wolfgang K. We had just asked a tall, energetic, short-haired man in his early thirties for directions. After he gave us clear instructions I asked him, <em>What are you doing home at this hour of the day?</em> He answered, <em>All my contracts have been cancelled! The economy is so bad I'm out of work.</em> His anger and frustration came out as a giant sweeping gesture. <em>All I want to is to be out there washing windows!</em> He makes the sound of a rubber squeegy scraping across wet glass.<br />
<br />
My mouth starts speaking before I know what I will say. <em>We are Possibilitators. We work for a better world. We are going to do for you right now exactly what we are going to suggest that you start doing for others, which is, to stop working for money and start working for a better world. We are going to provide you with our Possibilitator services for free, right now, for the joy of creatively collaborating with you. We know from experience that when we provide you with our services something interesting will happen. Maybe not instantly, maybe not directly, but by providing you with these services something good will come of it. Together we will have made a little bit of a better world.</em> <br />
<br />
<em>Here is our suggestion. Get your gear together now and go out there and do what you came here to do, what you love to do. Get out there and wash windows. Choose some windows to wash, knock on the door, tell them you are washing windows for a better world. Tell them your profession is to create clarity and openness and light for people. Then get washing. Do a good job, always adding something a little extra: tighten a few screws on a loose hinge, pick up some garbage, pull some weeds, something like that. As you pack up to move to the next location leave your card. It says your name, telephone, email, website, and the following words:</em> I work for a better world. If you know anyone else who could use a little clarity and freshness and light please call or write me. I will get right on it. If you have a little extra food, that you would like to give me so I can keep working for a bettter world, I thank you. I love my work. <em>I'll write that down for you</em>.<br />
<br />
<em>Now</em>, I continued, <em>do you know someone else who could use some possibility from us?</em> He thinks for a moment then says, <em>Come inside</em>. We step into his garage that he converted to an office because he uses bicycles for transportation for his wife and child. The office is full of clean windows. On a large cork board on the office wall is an irregularly shaped poster cut-out with a dark green border. It is a photo of an undaunted American Indian chief in fine beadworked leather and eagle-feathered headdress, facing a crowd of onlookers. Just in front of him, first in the crowd, stands Lee Lozowick, blue long-sleeve shirt, a full head of silver dreadlocks, serenely connected with and somehow befriended with the Indian chief, who now resembles a combination of Arnaud Desjardins and Yogi Ramsuratkumar.<br />
<br />
I point to Lee and exclaim to our window-washer friend, <em>Do you know who that is? Do you know this man?</em> He doesn't seem to know, or at the moment won't say. Next to this photo is a smaller cut-out from the same larger mural, also outlined in green, a closeup of more members of the crowd at the same gathering. Clearly visible in the crowd is Dasya, another student of Lee Lozowick. I look at Marion and Wolfgang mutually acknowledging that by encouraging the window washer to work for a better world instead of for money, something interesting certainly did happen. And then the alarm goes off.<br />

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being welcomed inside of a culture after trekking in the wilderness for decades, sometimes lonely, sometimes lost, sometimes nearly hopeless, was quite close to unbelievable. </span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had been on a seemingly endless self-appointed research expedition to formulate the language, distinctions, tools and processes at the core of archearchal culture. I was creating and documenting ways for others to cross bridges to get to sustainable adult culture too. For me to suddenly find that there are already enough people co-creating archearchy on a daily basis in their own lives in different places in the world, enough so that the culture won’t immediately vanish if I died, and to recognize the possibility of dropping my long-practiced survival ways of the outsider personality and to be welcomed in and received as one of the people in archearchy, this is quite an extraordinary and transformative experience. I highly recommend it. I am blown away, and very glad, and relieved, and excited about what comes next, and I thank everyone from the red pill of all four of my bodies for holding and navigating this process for me and for being part of the team. <span style="color: navy;">This was definitely one of my most important initiations.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

</tbody></table>The quality of the space that is held determines what is possible in that space. (For example, walking barefoot across burning coals without burning your feet only occurs in a space held by a firewalking trainer. Outside that space your feet would become fried bacon.)<br />
<br />
As a trainer for <a href="http://www.nextculture.org/">Next Culture Research & Training Center</a> I have seen miracles beyond belief. In <em>Expand The Box</em>, <em>Possibility Labs</em> and <em>Trainer Labs</em> people regularly make life changes that put them on completely new sets of train tracks in their life. They suddenly get an entirely new future. <br />
<br />
As their future unfolds, the confusions, delusions, and contusions central to their previous experience fade away mirage-like while life circumstances rapidly conform to their new shape . As incredible as this is to observe in others, it's even more astonishing to experience in one's own life. <br />
<br />
I know this because it keeps happening to me. <br />
<br />
I figured out that Possibility Trainers live in ongoing transformation because they are integrated into their training spaces - constantly at risk of rapid learning. P-Trainers cannot be lifted onto a pedestal and esteemed from afar. Instead they are in the dirty ditches and stinking gutters of personal development work, navigating all worlds, and learning to deliver whatever is needed and wanted for the participants to unfold their incredible potential. These processes cannot help but also change the trainer's life. <br />
<br />
For example, my processes bring me into finer alignment with my core purpose. The way I would say it now is: <em>I am here to use memetic engineering to upgrade the morphogenetic field of the human race through the radically responsible thoughtware of Possibility Management.</em><br />
<br />
How can this occur?<br />
<br />
Actually it has already occured, although ripples from the stone-tossing have yet to hit the shore in most places. <br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>Early in 2011a group of men at a <em>Men's Lab</em>, and also a group of Possibility Trainers <em>agreed</em> that next culture already exists. They have become that stand, both individually and as a group. The decision has already been made. It's not some future wish, not a fantasy world. <br />
<br />
Each man and woman who made this new agreement now holds that space where ever they are as a bond. When they are not together at the same place the bond spreads over the Earth and becomes a network. The network of critical connections creates a <a href="http://margaretwheatley.com/articles/using-emergence.pdf">system of infuence</a>, a <em>morphogenetic field</em>. <br />
<br />
Let it be known this has already been decided. If you wish, you can also decide: "Next culture already exists. The game is on."<br />
<br />
A <em>morphogenetic field</em> is the shape-making field establishing the thoughtforms, words and deeds of a human culture. A morphogenetic field is created through agreement, through critical connections between <a href="http://margaretwheatley.com/articles/using-emergence.pdf">communities of practice</a>.<br />
<br />
The morphogenetic field that has so far shaped the bulk of humanity is: <em>I am my body. I am my mind. I am separate. In order to survive I must fight to win as much as I can regardless of what others lose</em>. This is very old thoughtware.<br />
<br />
The morphogenetic field of next culture is: <em>I am the Earth right now having the experience of "fill in your name". We are all one. I already survived as a child and now life as an adult is a winning happening game</em>. <br />

</tbody></table>Engaging <em>winning happening</em> requires shifting from adolescence to adulthood, including learning a different form of speaking and communication. The language of winning happening includes four skills researched by John Croft (the subject of a future blog).<br />
<br />
I want to offer you a challenge:<br />
<br />
Transformational wonders of clarity and possibility occur in trainings because of the space of the training. The training space is held by the Trainer. If you are a Trainer and can create and navigate possibility training spaces, how many people can you hold that space for? Fifteen? Fifty? Five hundred? Will you practice with me to ongoingly generate and hold that space for the entire planet Earth starting now? This would be a decision. You decide it. I already decided. If you decide too then it becomes an agreement between us. Will you keep developing your space-holding intention muscles so that holding possibility-space for the Earth becomes second nature to you?<br />
<br />
Let me know how it goes...<br />
<br />
... and, thanks.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">There are various ways to exit the patriarchy. One way is to face the immense but still unconscious price you pay to remain in the patriarchy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Think about it. You weren't schooled in a way that empowers your natural talents but rather to fit into a system designed to serve a wealthy elite. You were born guilty and trained to blame others and try to get away with anything you can. "Responsibility" is a dirty word in the patriarchy - only stupid people behave ethically or take responsibility. You made an unspoken promise not to expose the emptiness of "success" as defined in this system. Anybody can be bought. Nature is valued only when money changes hands. Your mind has been over-taxed while your heart and soul shrivel in neglect. You can't articulate the pain in you because the training is to stay disconnected and numb, without encouragement for compassion, empathy, relationship or sensuality. Instead you get addicted to adrenaline intensity, fighting and competing with others for power and material possessions just to survive. Time is money. Women are sex objects - disposable wives. Children are a problem. Death is a fantasy. There is no space for simply being. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">When you were born you had to choose: join the patriarchy or be abandoned. The ultimate price of becoming a patriarch is that you do not get to become yourself. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">To stop paying that price means to exit the patriarchy. No one can exit for you. Exiting takes every effort you can make and is extremely personal, yet, you cannot escape alone. You need something to exit into.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times;">That is why before exiting we men made a new pact amongst ourselves. <i>"I have a new pact."</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">3. From September 26-27 Marion and I joined a group of social entrepreneurs at <a href="http://www.taiji.no/maya"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Taiji Center</span></a><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span>in Oslo, Norway, </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">to welcome eight Mayan shaman.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">They were four couples, and when they spoke they emphasized the importance of men and women working <i>together,</i> and <i>then</i> <i>they demonstrated it</i> through their loving interactions and collaboration.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">These eight shaman, living in four separate villages, speaking four Mayan dialects, together got the "instructions" to visit four northern hemisphere countries (Norway, Japan, Arizona, and Guatemala) so as to deliver a message and to perform an awakening ritual.</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Mayan's message has three imperatives, in short, as follows:</span></span> </span><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Remember Mother Earth. You are a manifestation of Mother Earth, both men and women working together.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Respect Mother Earth by asking permission before you take things, before you walk on Mother's face. </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Reciprocate, that is, ongoingly give back to Mother Earth the qualities you would wish to receive (e.g. cradle-to-cradle manufacturing rather than dumping depleted uranium and pollutants everywhere, replanting forests, etc.). Express ongoing praise and gratitude for what you receive.</span></span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The message is clear: living in a spiritually fulfilling, socially just, ecologically (and economically) sustainable world requires changing the dream (<i>the nightmare</i>) of the "North," meaning the dream us "white folks" are living. </span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Changing your dream depends on first recognizing that what you perceive is only one of many possible "story-worlds" that could interpret your current situation. In other words, what you perceive is a self-generated dream. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">By taking responsibility for the dream you are creating, you gain the possibility of intelligently changing it.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Tuesday afternoon the Mayans led a walk along the waterfront of Oslo with about 300 people all carrying flowers and fruits as offerings of praise to Mother Earth. We arrived in the center of the old town, a Celtic power place upon which a church had been built that is now in ruins. Here the ritual was performed to awaken Europeans to our connection to Mother Earth.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">4. I would say that <a href="http://www.amis-hauteville.fr/">Arnaud Desjardins</a> was my teacher Lee Lozowick's best friend. Lee died November 2010. Arnaud died July 2011. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sometimes I feel like Luke Skywalker, when his teachers one-by-one die and line up in heaven to provide coaching and support from out of the body. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm lucky to have been around these two men, now and then, when they were with each other privately, eating, walking, haggling prices, speaking to groups. When I need a role model for adult manhood, or for friendship between men, I have Lee Lozowick and Arnaud Desjardins to look to. </span><br />
