REFLECTIONS ON eight years of work as a designer of positive futures
When I am asked what studying a positive future for eight years with the aid of the minds of two thousand other global thinkers, has brought me to think…I say:
THE NEXT POSSIBLE WORLD
As we awaken to the next world … we follow an ancient arc of time that sets one age after another. The transformation soon to come will celebrate the pivotal moment for any emerging planetary civilization and that is the moment it celebrates its global unity. From that stance we may rededicate our lives to a new world beyond the strife of nations.
We will re-engage the military services to restore our delicate biosphere. We will be a loyal partner with nature as we proceed together to create a paradise like world. We will consume our food as close to where it is created as possible. We will entertain the thought that heaven is a mindset and that participation in heaven is therefore a personal choice.
We will allow the most competent global management system, the world wide web, to help us conduct our planetary affairs beyond the self-interests of nations which are after all just one of many obsolete social inventions that will disassemble themselves because of wasteful practices.
We will honor the many gifts of interfaith exchange and actively celebrate our global culture that has been emerging for thousands of years now. We will cherry pick the past and not just stumble into another more complex future. We will see the very unique global culture at work in our new global villages which blend the magic of all our previous great works. No one need travel far to taste the fruits of the human adventure.
We will focus on being human and what the grand blueprint of that design really means. Technology will serve us without distraction from the pure magic of life in the fullness of nature.
We will all re-evaluate the natural power and energy that comes from giving love and service to others. We will integrate the dignity of work with the joy of playful exchange.
We will remember that universe favors the choiceful and that prayers even by just thinking an idea are a certain way to have that outcome appear in ones life. We get what we imagine though the gift may come in a creative form that causes the imaginer to grow in order to access the gift. We honor life as a pilgrimage of rediscovery and the source of our souls desire to move more slowly and magically through time and space.
We will join the galaxy of worlds and see the options for life expand geometrically. We will entertain many new realities in our conscious path to return to the time of magic, when GOD was known as the delight-maker.

What I believe you will find in this still imperfect statement is a positive, broad based, omni-cultural, multi-disciplinary, set of possibilities that we merely must accept in order for everything to change for the better. It will be slightly better next month. Many thanks to the thousands of people who helped write this.
