Conversation for bringing forth a world

A vision without a task is but a dream. A task without a vision is a drudgery. A vision with a task is the hope of the world.

This conversation for love began with an epiphany of sorts. It's been about ten years since it first imprinted itself into my psyche.

It grew out of the first story in the Judeo-Christian Bible - the story of Eden, which has always stood for me as some sort of an ideal world at complete peace - in complete harmony.

But it was lost forever because of a single choice on the part of two humans - from whom we are all descended. As I understood the essential message, it is: Because you ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you will be banished from the Garden of Eden.

The epiphany part was the realization that I enjoy the fruit of that very tree in my life - every single time I decide that I am right and someone else is wrong. And, it occurred to me that I could actually give that up. I can give up being right. Of course, it takes doing so over and over. It took me a little longer to realize that I actually have to give up that anything is wrong - over and over and over again.

There is still plenty in the world that I don't like and that I would have be otherwise - and will even work to have be otherwise. I just have to give up that it's wrong. I have to give up that knowledge of good and evil.

The payoff is that, to the extent I can do that, I get to live in Eden.

This web site is part of how that insight has manifest in my life so far.

THE LOVE VIRUS

My granddaughter frequently says she loves me. We play games with guess what where sometimes the answer is I love you. She explicitly expresses her love to a number of people - especially her dad and her grandma - and to some of her friends also.

I just said “I love you. Goodbye.” to Barbara. It's something I say a lot with goodbye on a phone or in person. When I said it, I realized how it represents a constant in my life - my commitment to express love. And, I think, that leads to an environment of love. And, I think, that such an environment is viral in the world. I’m sure I’m not the only person creating in this way. I’m sure we aren’t the only family where this phenomenon is building. I believe that this love virus is spreading and will rather suddenly become a global pandemic that totally transforms the path of human history. I predict a world where love is first and foremost for one and all. And, I predict this will occur much sooner than most of us can imagine. The way I see it the much heralded 2012 time frame is completely adequate.

Letting go of being right has to be one of the most powerful expression of love.

Reading Entangled Minds (Dean Radin / Paraview Pocket Books) and I’ve just arrived at the group mind chapter. It got me to thinking about what is coming [as we evolve ourselves]. I think there is something entirely different coming in the evolution of human. I don’t think it will take a million years - or even ten years. I think it can happen as fast as conversations can occur. Humans are basically astonishingly malleable. If we believe in something, we can change our way of being - who we are being - what we are creating in a moment. Transformation happens very quickly. Entangled Minds is giving me fodder for my thinking. It provides a grounding of reality to what is otherwise simply my imaginings.

So, this inquiry is into what might lie on the other side of this transformation.
- Firstly, I’m pretty confident that nobody knows what is coming.
- I expect things to be so very different in ways that we aren’t even prepared to comprehend what’s possible..
- I like to think that some of us have some insight into it given our (my) own advanced position in the domain of our possible future.
- I believe that it will include vastly improved ability to manipulate physical reality. I would expect to have access to past and future quite a lot beyond anything I’ve ever seen demonstrated - or even read about in any convincingly credible publication.
- I believe we will have the power to live in peace - a world where love is first and foremost for one and all - a joyous and just world where no one is wrong.
- I believe that I have developed an unusual ability to articulate some aspects of this possible world.
- I believe that I am doing things that are bringing forth the world I intend and that this journal is part of that work.
- I believe that it is up to each of us to bring it about.
- I believe that we can take on being responsible in ways that carries the progress of all of life to another level of possibility.
