Looking for a committee to think with
For a Conversation to Save the World
Calling good minds to get us out of the mess we are in. This is about the possibility of taking our stride now! There’s no coordination looking for timely action to meet the urgency of our situation. I want to launch a Conversation to Save the World. How can we get humanity wised up to become cooperative, which would fix everything? Think Margaret Mead and an island of coherence doing the job. Reply to this email. Tell me what you would do if you ran the world or talk to me about your reaction to my ideas for a sense of what you would bring to the table. There will be honorariums for participants. From armchair philosophers to Nobel Prize winners…
My nonprofit is called Mighty Companions, and I’ve been 35 years working up to delivering on this:
“Now comes a period of settling down. This is a quiet time, in which the teacher of God rests a while in reasonable peace. Now he consolidates his learning. Now he begins to see the transfer value of what he has learned. Its potential is literally staggering, and the teacher of God is now at the point in his progress at which he sees in it his whole way out. 'Give up what you do not want, and keep what you do.' The teacher of God needs this period of respite...when he is ready to go on, he goes with mighty companions beside him. Now he rests a while, and gathers them before going on. He will not go on from here alone.” - A Course in Miracles
This is what I wrote when I created my Mighty Companions website, 35 years ago:
These times are dangerously out of balance. Exploitation has supplanted interest in the common good. What can be done to bring about a more life-sustaining perception, grounded in an awareness that we are one?
The good news is that seeking God is giving way to expressing God. After lifetimes of spiritual practice, self-aware people can sit around the campfire, glowing together. This is an everyday God sort of thing, hearkening to earlier connections to the land and the tribe that have been acculturated out of us. It is timely now for those with a developed capacity for seeing through the illusion to grow a field of awareness.
What is coming clear to you? Let this site be a focal point to pulse the vibe of an awakened humanity.
This is on its homepage:
What got me looking for my mighty companions was Inside the Intelligence, my own personal Course in Miracles, where I got my marching orders to do a roundup.
A focus on the big picture is hardly for anyone. Although, since the ‘60s, understandings about consciousness have become widespread, it has not yet gotten to the place where we run the world based on them, which is what must happen if humanity is to survive. Most good people are in a more narrow band of thinking and operating, from the many good things being done to just handling survival, and what we can do in timely fashion to turn ourselves around has not become the conversation. However, for the unusual people who think along these lines, the conversation I’m looking to have would be your island in a storm!
