Here is the first run of the Visionary Solutions. Some of the areas yet to be covered are methods of overcoming fear, confusion, indecision, procrastination, dissociation, isolation, and programming, and increasing social-immunity, self-authority building, building visionary energy levels, group visioning, facilitating prophetic social chemistry via oration etc....
I am still looking for that definitive “World Visionary,” but it looks like we are all going to have to become it. I think that towing the middle road between planning for trouble, while integrally developing ourselves to create the skills and lifestyle that we truly "want" is the safest bet. Getting increasingly sober with the existing resources and using them maximally efficiently in the creation of a perma-culture, while deepening our sense of humanity is what is called for. Avoiding indulging in end-times mania, while maintaining an upbeat emotional tone will have to be focused on...the tendency to get swooped up in the ongoing chaos and confusion might be very strong if we lack a determined vision as to where we are going.
World Visioneering is a certain type of thinking that that both sees the stickiness of the problem, is not pessimistic or optimistic, but can still see steps on how to proceed, within the exponential complexity of the problemocrasy...and automatically sees that the problem is the solution! There is a huge gap in where the innovators/intellectuals are in the US to where the politicians are. Perhaps the dark had to come out of his hiding in order to instigate the huge push towards ecotopia.
We face an unprecedented situation where we have to fight both our nausea, hardening, fear, disgust, apathy, depression, and amusement etc...related to news. We have to put news into its historical context (metanews) while simultaneously making intelligent predictions...all this in order to know where we fit into the picture and our course of highest moral action. read more »
For many who are committed to healing this world, America has developed something of a mixed reputation: innovative and bold on the one hand, but wasteful, arrogant, and self-interested on the other. Add the term “sacred” in front of “America” and many envision a kind of fundamentalism that blinds us to our shadows, inflates our sense of self-worth, and goads us into righteous battles.
