What has been missing this last half century of Humanities efforts?

Whose Outcome is this:

When are we going to question our short sighted concept of Energy?

The promise of energy for everyone

will open the doors to Dream of a Nation's goals and David Korten's Living Economies with a surety and ease impossible to imagine now.

While Paul Hawken's 'diversity' in the largest movement on earth, is a natural, inherent phenomena, so is 'mobilize' when a threat has become sufficiently large to endanger a community, a species, or life on earth.

The solutions have been available since the 1940's:

What one should bear in mind is a mobilization component available when danger threatens a large system, with the mobilization degree corresponding to the degree of danger.

Humanity has two such high degree threats:

·       The Economy of Greed and Dominion

·        Energy Stagnation

Both of these threats support and cause the other.
Both of these threats have solutions

When a raging forest fire threatens a village, it becomes time for "diversity' TO ACT IN COHESION ON THE FIRE THREAT, and take care of the leaking faucet later

Priorities efforts require a much broader support level:

Willis W. Harman Former President, Institute for Noetic Sciences

Willis Harman, PhD (1919-1997) who was a visionary thinker, futurist and social scientist who continuously articulated the possibility for humankind to transcend the limits of out-moded thinking. He was the author of several books including Creative Work: The Constructive Role of Business in a Transforming Society (with John Hormann), An Incomplete Guide to the Future, and Global Mind Change. He was co-editor of The New Business of Business: Sharing Responsibility for a Positive Global Future (with Maya Porter). He was also co-founder of the World Business Academy (1988), president of Institute of Noetic Sciences from 1973 until late 1996, a social scientist and futurist with SRI International in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and a professor at Stanford University prior to these other affiliations. This award honors organizations who are living examples of Willis Harman’s vision that business will play a major role in transforming social consciousness."

The World Business Academy and
The Kellogg School of Management present
The 2006 Global MindChange Forum

As we approach this year's Forum we are mindful that within every impending crisis there is exciting opportunity.

A focus on the crises reveals that:

Our world is fracturing at a rapidly accelerating pace.

• The institutions (government, religion, academe) that we have trusted in the past to lead us through these crises are increasingly less-capable of taking effective action.
• While there are seeds of change emerging, there is deep concern that the shifts required in consciousness and action may not come in time to prevent a descent into economic, societal and environmental chaos.

A focus on the opportunities reveals that:

The power of individuals joining together in communities of thoughtful and purposeful action around their area of expertise is essential for lasting and constructive change.

• Business men and women constitute such a community which, because of its international reach, has the highest potential to make effective change.
• Those who want to be agents in promoting effective change benefit by gathering periodically to discuss the critical issues, contribute their expertise to the effort to create solutions, and set plans to put those solutions into practice.
• The future success of every enterprise will be determined by its own leadership. In turn, the leaders' success depends on their ability to grasp today's fundamental challenges and to approach them with a commitment to a new level of excellence, as well as dispassionate judgment, broad thinking, and innovation.

Dream of a Nation

“At a time when America’s challenges seem greater than ever, when polarization threatens to leave us permanently divided, Dream of a Nation reminds us of what we have in common—and all that we can build when we work together.”  –Bryan Walsh, TIME Magazine

The Book

A Vital Tool for the Engaged Citizen

If you want be a part of the critical effort to build a better America, then Dream of a Nation is for you.
A vital tool for building our future, this work is both eye-opening and inspiring. Alice Walker sums it up well in her assertion that “Dream of a Nation offers hundreds of ideas and examples of how smart, committed, and daring we can be.” Offering a laser-focus on solutions, Dream of a Nation restores faith that we can solve our current looming environmental, economic and societal challenges.
Over three years in the making and with contributions from more than 60 pioneering visionaries and organizations, a comprehensive path forward is presented across a range of key issues including: Building an Equitable and Green Economy, Waging Peace, Strengthening Community , Media Reform, People-Centered Government, Ending Poverty, and much more. It is everyday citizens who make this nation great and the critical information found in Dream of a Nation empowers you with what you need to be an agent of change.
100% of the proceeds support over 60 organizations and leaders within the civil society movement.

A perfect gift. A wonderful educational resource. A way to give back.

The content is applicable to readers of varying political persuasions and the material comes alive through four-color authentic images, and accessible graphics and illustrations.

The nature of LIFE unfolds with incomprehensible, mystical beauty, complexity, and adaptability, with ever-evolving self-awareness at the apex of evolutionary thrust.  Blocking the ever-evolving self-awareness of Life's natural progression will be explosively devastating.

 Attention to this ever-evolving self awareness can be noted at Wiser.Org http://www.wiser.org/article/history  Wiser's vision comes from it’s former Executive Director, Paul Hawken, who recognized its need when researching his latest book, Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being, and Why No One Saw It Coming. “I knew that if we could understand the connections and visualize the breadth of global efforts on behalf of social and environmental justice, we would recognize the largest movement the world has ever seen. Wiser is where this movement can begin to see itself.”

What one should bear in mind is a mobilization component available when danger threatens a large system, with the mobilization degree corresponding to the degree of danger.

Humanity has two such high degree threats:

• The Economy of Greed and Dominion
• Energy Stagnation

Both of these threats support and cause the other.
Both of these threats have solutions

When a raging forest fire threatens a village, it becomes time for "diversity' TO ACT IN COHESION ON THE FIRE THREAT, and take care of the leaking faucet later

The NO NEED TO KNOW greed and power syndrome opposes the evolutionary thrust of LIFE's ever-evolving self-awareness.  NATURE always wins against those opposing life's natural evolutionary force

If I Wanted America to Fail

If I Wanted America to Fail

(Freedom Times response to a You Tube video of the same name)

A dive into the root causes of why America is teeter tottering on the declining slope at the brink of collapse and failure -  beyond the myriad, slick, mirrored surface causes of misguided beliefs, opinions and denials.

If I wanted America to Fail, I would follow with precision the program/itinerary exactly as history portrays the events played out since the suppression of energy evolution in the mid forties, the major squash of electrogravitics in the 60’s, subsequently fueling scientific curiosity in the “hidden variables”, The Trouble with Physics, and the hunt for the obvious Zero Point specified in StarSteps.

If I wanted America to Fail  I would feed and build on the masses' desperately clinging hope that Capitalism and Freedom of the past still exist today, shaping an indestructible “belief system” for unquestioned acceptance of authoritative lies through the corporate owned mass media. I would make Americans believe, through the voices of supreme US authority, that“fellatio” was not sex, and that God created “evil genes”, against all biological and psychological evidence. I would make Americans believe the Warren“Omission” Commission's Report of 9/11 was the absolute truth, so as to clearly understand the “confusion”of the Strategic Air Command, upon hearing “who could have imagined, Airplanes used as weapons!”, when they were there, that very same morning, practicing against just such an event 

If I wanted America to Fail I would keep top secret the steps required to change cherished but distorted belief systems through Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s “Grieving Process”, specifically the “Star Spangled Banner” exalted mass belief hysteria, played at sports gladiator mob mentality arenas, feeding the desperately seeking …. memories of the glorious past, as though this glory still existed today in a crumbling empire. O'Leary utilizes the contextual framework developed by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross for the grieving process to help understand his own emotional challenge of seeing external idols fall and finding the courage to face the stark responsibilities that arise from abandoning vicarious authority

If I wanted America to Fail, I would use psychology to its maximum capacity to dumb down the people, make them submissive to the quite voice of authority, adding the implied threat to their paycheck, if they do not continue to support an economic system slowly strangling the world, including now, America’s own, as Infinite Resource Wars continue to accelerate for total power, greed and control. I would insure that the controls put in place after the 1929 Economic Crash would be systematically removed, so that those who do the least would take control of 98% of the world’s wealth regardless of failing city and state governments and communities.

If I wanted America to Fail, I would make sure that Sanity, Common Sense and Reason would never again return to the energy and economic domain and interfere with the infinite, oversaturated, dive into meaningless Trivia:
· Taboo – Economic Decline in a world exploding with population and needs (?)
· Taboo – Is Science Stupid to be stuck in Oil and deadly Nuclear access, stagnating for over one hundred years since Einstein presented to the world his E=MC2 equation? ·

If I wanted America to Fail I would insist that the outcomes from the marvels of our modern 21^st Century Science aiding intelligence, wisdom, and Understanding, would look like the right column of this picture:
    

In a free country, unlike a fascist system where Corporate Power is Protected, where industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite….. in a free country, threats and obstructions to sustainable life, energy evolution, "living economies", and survival itself, should not be an issue.

With the expanded science concepts of E=MC2 in the 40’s, which demonstrated unlimited possibilities to enhance the quality and evolutionary nature of life, came the wisdom that limitations, “Resource Wars”, have no valid reason for continued existence, and that the trillions upon trillions of dollars spent on killing and perfecting ways to kill, is totally against sustainable life and evolutionary progress. Much more so, against the grain of every religion and perennial philosophy known to Humankind.

One would think with the Milgram Experiment after WWII, nations would be far more discriminating against believing atrocious lies while ignoring consequences, both past and pending, of such deadly proportions directly caused by economic strangulation and energy stagnation.

·        WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT OUR MODERN 21^ST CENTURY SCIENCE COULD BE SO CRIPPLED IN THE ENERGY SECTOR FOR SO MANY DECADES

·        WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IN A WORLD EXPLODING IN POPULATION AND NEEDS, AN ECONOMY COULD CONTINUE TO DECLINE SIDEWAYS FOR YEARS

·        AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CRITERION CAUSING THE “YOU WILL HAVE EYES, BUT WILL NOT SEE” SYNDROME, WOULD BE THE FOREMOST MOVER/SHAPER PERPETUATING LIMITATION AND ONGOING DESIGNS OF RESTRICTED POSSIBILITIES FOR COMING GENERATIONS, WITH OUR ALMOST STONE AGE CONCEPT OF ENERGY

Life without energy cannot exist. Only through access to advanced, decentralized energy systems, with their inherent double edge sword heralding in common sense, wisdom and understanding alongside their advanced scientific principles ushering in unparalleled new energy sources, can the door to expanding freedom, prosperity, sustainability and survival remain open.

Freedom Times strikingly predicts, with overwhelming, leading scientific references and consensus, the direction our future is heading toward with continued stagnation of our energy definition and applications. The Wisdom and Understanding (and Applications) accompanying the expanded view of E=MC2, our expanding view to Reality, where Light, the quantity C, is the kinetic energy equivalent of the mass energy of matter - is a natural growth phenomena required for human survival. “Ostracizing”, “smear campaigns”, “look yonder” ruses to avoid reality, hoping that corn, radioactive waste, oil and greed will meet our energy needs and be a “shining example” of our future, will be devastating.
