There are whole new movements, mostly on the internet where people share their knowledge and ideas freely for anybody to use and further develop. This happens a lot in the computer science field with open source code platforms. It enables people to build on each others results which boost the overall development much further than it could get behind locked doors.
What if we would make all of society open source and share ware?
Everybody would be a part of developing it and pointing out the obvious flaws and injustices and have the power to change things directly. Another good example of shared creation is Wikipedia which is a totally open platform where anybody can contribute. Of course there are people who go in and write total rubbish just to mess with the system. But there’s even more people who clean it up and makes sure that the part that they have an interest in keeping up to date and truthful, stay that way. It works. There’s even been studies made on the difference between Wikipedia and the National Encyclopedia regarding their contents reliance and the conclusion was that they have the same level of errors, which I think was around 5-10%. I can’t find the source of that but I know it was in some TED talk.

Another negative aspect of our society is that it creates and endorses a lot of destructive behaviors. Since we are not given what we need to survive by default but have to work for it and earn it, there are some obvious problems that occur when someone no longer has a job or money to support him or her self. That person will still do whatever it takes to get food, water and shelter or what ever else he or she needs. It is pretty obvious. Stealing those things all of a sudden becomes an option. Also engaging in other criminal activities to get money. When people are put in the extremely degrading and stressful situation of being without the basic resources to survive or live a good life, a great sense of injustice grows, which feeds emotions like envy, hate, hopelessness and rage. By flaunting all the wonderful things that you could have, if only you could pay for it, in front of people who can never have it, only increases the sense of injustice and increases the chance for violent behavior.
In all cultures and societies there are certain goals in life that are being glorified and others that are being frowned upon. The whole social hierarchy is one big pile of lifestyles to aim for or stay away from. To be considered one of the elite at the top, your life needs to fulfill certain criteria and the same goes for every level, the upper, middle and lower class. The higher up in the hierarchy you go, the more freedom, power and respect you’re considered to have. Every human being wants to be respected, feel valuable and safe and the higher up you go the more chance to get it all and the lower down you are, the higher risk to not have any of it. Obviously most people want to start climbing this ladder to which ever level we feel comfortable at. The majority of main stream media is drowning us in propaganda that acts like a gigantic carrot, pulling us towards wanting more stuff that would communicate to the rest of the world that we have climbed up the ladder. We have a car that says “we’re sucessfull”, a house that says we’re upper class, a style that says “we demand respect” etc. One problem that occurs when you’re trying to climb the social ladder, without getting any closer to the goal you set for yourself is that you easily enter the state of frustration-aggression. When you are unable to reach a set goal, you get frustrated and look for a way to get that frustration out, since there’s no possible way to get relief by reaching the goal, no matter how hard you try. One way to do that is to create a scapegoat. This is a well documented and observed phenomena. Our society creates this situation on a daily basis for a lot of people, specifically when so many dreams and possibilities are flaunted in front of us that most of us will never be able to have but still try to and some times are forced to. Aggression like this is something we have come to take for granted and we think that it’s a natural behavior. Teenagers going on rage rampages, crime and gang violence in low income areas, hate crimes towards homosexuals and emigrants etc. This is not natural behavior. It is a direct result of frustration-aggression. Hate boiling up that needs to get out one way or another and we are forced to find a way to justify it and let it out.

There’s so many problems that are a direct consequence of our current society. Most of them can in my opinion be linked to the monetary system. Poverty, bad waste management, the climate crisis, starvation, certain disease epidemics, wasteful usage of resources, deforestation, the energy crisis, several stress related diseases, production inefficiency, a huge majority of cases of depression and anxiety, the poisoning of our water and soil, homelessness, addictions such as gambling, alcohol, heavy drugs, shopping, sugar, fastfood etc, war, the destruction of ecosystems, species going extinct and many many more. We get stress out and anxious when we realize the money we have isn’t enough for what we need. We develop depressions when the pressure gets to much. We develop low self-esteem and anger from growing up in a poor home where our parents didn’t have time for us because they had to work two jobs to support you and they were bitter and angry about the fact that they were poor. Half of the world is dying form starvation because they can’t afford to buy food or the resources to grow it them selfs and they are dying from diseases that can easily be treated if only they had money to pay for the medicine. Industries are dumping toxic waste into our lakes, rivers and oceans because it is cheaper that way. Industries are also choosing cheaper inferior materials even though there’s better options out there. Huge areas of forest and land are being destroyed for the purpose of making money. People are loosing their homes because they can’t pay for them any more. The homes are still there, only now they are empty. People are denied a high education (in some countries) because they can’t afford it.
People are forced to go to jobs that are directly destructive to their bodies and minds, just because it’s the only option they have  so that they can feed them selfs and their family. Small local productions are being forced out of business by big companies that press the prices.

We are all forced to work about 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, which gives us about 3-5 hours of time, when we’re not getting ready for work or going home from work, that we can do what we want with. It is not really that strange that most people don’t have the energy to get updated on what’s going on in the world and do something about the sever problems that surrounds us all. We just want to be left alone for a while to breath and just be or have some fun with our friends and loved ones. We become happy little consumers, oblivious to the fact that we are all just modern slaves and the world is crumbling around us.

So why should we re-design society?
Because we can do better than this.
Because we deserve better than this.

There are many connections between us all and some understand that these connections are an illusion as we are all one, therefore, one is all.  However, we do as individual bodies become subject to Karma (thanks to free will) and either benefit or suffer from our actions now and in the past.  If we understand this then we can achieve two things, firstly paying back for negative Karma and secondly as a consequence create positive Karma where we all benefit  

Please have a read of the article and see what Saturn wants to do and show, it will bring you some peace.

A sample for a kin domain for a couple, build with love,for abundance of all and for their children to be happy

Children are the key- we teach them by example and they should be considerd as equal with adults. Childs mind
is an open mind capable of creating the new beyond adult rigid imagination

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift
and rational mind is a faithfull servant

Let’s take the focus group – why would you just make a focus group an online group? That is missing the point entirely. Face to face interaction works and works well – just changing this dynamic to an online forum does very little above change for change’s sake. No, let’s embrace digital in the right way, let’s supplement and enhance our repertoire of methodologies.

That’s what we have done here at Stream. We have Research-Book which seeks not to replace the focus group but to add another layer of depth to the methodologies we offer. It works as an ethnographic tool, it works as a scrapbook to help illuminate people’s worlds and it works as a means of getting fast and insightful feedback on concepts, ads and new ideas. It does allow for an online forum or bulletin board to replace a group when required (usually with geographically dispersed groups and those who live a lot of their consumer lives online) but the intention of Research-Book is to add to the insights we collect, not to re-invent the wheel.

So this is a call to everyone, let’s not replace, let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water. Let’s think how we can evolve and improve things. At the heart of research  is human interaction and engagement. For me that means great projective techniques that unlocks the insights that make a difference to the brands who employ us to help them understand their consumer.

Let’s use digital and online methods but in the right way.

Supernova creates a Cosmic Rose, NASA 2011

Listen to the audio of this Earth Hive update.

There is a palpable awakening at-hand.  As the foundational platform for the New Earth’s awakening has been set for some time now, the natural functioning of light as a source for organic life and heart-centered living is underway.  Many are experiencing spontaneous awakenings as a result of being securely anchored into the new Earth grid, the Earth Hive.  We are embarking on the time of Christ Consciousness where we will know the truth of Jesus’ words “…and better works than I shall you do.”  At the heart of this shift is the emerging of the new brain, the heart.  In the last few weeks, a change in the human mental matrix evolved to allow for us to fully access the Heart-Mind intelligence and to live in the deep reverence of Nectar.

The turning of the annual clock through the March Equinox window, brought in the translucency of the Nectar-based body of life.  The Nectar of the Mother is the divine feminine substance of life that “sparks” the new imagined life into being.  It is this Nectar that we have been missing for centuries, keeping us in a looped cycle of creation of which we are now witnessing a rapid dissolution.  As we have been blanketed by the Nectar of the Mother from the Cosmic Heart Center, our new crystalline bodies of liquid light are coming into re-arrangement to harmonize with the new cellular biology of the stars.  Our stellar bodies are fascinating.  On the local level, we are the embodiment of the new elemental bodies of light, a family of natural Earth consciousness that seeds and feeds our bodies with the nourishment of starlight.  On a cosmic level, we are the embodiment of the infinitely expanding Hearted-Rose Universe, the Body of the Rose, an evolution of the Christ Consciousness into the far reaches of our universe.  Earth is becoming, and leading, the multi-dimensional Rose formation for universal life, a harmonic of the One Love universe.  There will be a time when we realize that our stories of our spiritual past merely seeded this dramatic lift-off for Earth and the universe to a new frontier of the great Heart Story.

At this time, we are being supported by the spirit consciousness of the bees, the sacred shepards of pollinating new life forms.  Again, there are easily two vantage points to see: the bees working to re-assimilate our light bodies on Earth as Rose Pollinating Systems that fuel starlight-charged pollen into the Earth for the re-circulating of natural living systems in the Tree of Life.  From above, the bees are the cosmic pollen weavers that catalyze the birth of new stars and star systems through co-creation with Star Beings of the Cosmic Life Forces.  With the recent bursts of Nectar flushing the Earth’s atmosphere and grounds, we are being re-aligned to the Earth and the Cosmos through the Universal Strands of Light that pull us up and down at the same time.  You may feel that you are being stretched as you must grow “taller” to embody this re-alignment of Earth and Cosmos.

Consciously breathing through this growing process will help immensely to amplify the power of the trinitized life forms (the “actualization” of the flames of co-creation: love, light and power) to ease and aid your new body.  Focusing into your heart center is key to knowing the new ways of your body and presence on Earth.  Indeed, as anticipated the Equinox brought forth new Language of Light codes that are finding a home in many of us.  It is this co-creation of new light codes with our new connection to the Body of the Rose that calls in the Heart-Mind to support our Earth missions.  The Heart-Mind is the multi-dimensional Heart, an infinite portal that integrates through “golden receptors” the incoming and outgoing waves of  Love.  A sort of radio tuner that can connect to the multi-textures of Love throughout the universe.  We can tune and change the dial of our Heart-Mind radio and receive the diversity of love’s intelligence–this is the basis of co-creation, to “tune” the dial to receive a “textured” love frequency from which we can decipher a tangible experience that we may choose to manifest.

The more that we in-tune the dial of the Heart-Mind, the easier it will be to be stretched and transformed into the Body of the Rose.  Early June of this year will result in a “landing” into the Body of the Rose with full force, a truly remarkable experience when we realize how primitive, from a evolutionary perspective, our bodies were before.  It will be important to support your body at this time with the highest vibrations found in our material world from foods to clothing, music and medicines–ask that the elementals of the New Earth re-arrange  your material things, including your food and water so that your body can more easily make the leap into Rose Body Formation.

In the coming month of April, it will be as if we have come into our own magical, mystery tour.  The old world that spoke in linear mathematical equations is now being re-written into the Heart-Mind “mathematics”, a reality that is lived through the narration of the Heart portal.  Infinity language is re-writing our projected reality; this is a language that speaks of “whole”, expanding experiences (as opposed to “lacking”, needful and/or diminishing experiences) where doorways to “more” are discovered at every “point” on the thought map.  We will discover that with the slightest curiosity, a mere thoughtful glance, doorways of wonder are revealed.  These points of wonder will become us as these are our building blocks into the infinite Self that we have been diligently building on the Earth plane.  As we re-collect the building blocks of the infinite Self, we will mirror the language of infinity into the Earth’s holographic field, and those “works” that Jesus insisted we would do better than he will transpire with every in and out breathe.

That’s why organizations and savvy businesses have mission statements.  That’s why shame researcher, author, speaker and professor Brené Brown developed a “Home Manifesto” for her family that includes the dictum of no name-calling, which includes never calling oneself names.  When someone surveyed her daughter’s project in progress and remarked that she was “messy,” her daughter immediately offered correction: “No, I’m not messy; I’m making a mess.”

We all will benefit from developing a “Personal Manifesto” that names and claims our ideals and aspirations for how we treat ourselves and operate in the world.  This Personal Manifesto is a brief, clear statement of values and actions, like a mission statement.  It is a map for our own resurrection that clarifies and reminds us of our direction.

Here’s a Personal Manifesto I wrote for myself:

I AM a Child of God.  I see and treat myself as inherently innocent, loving and of infinite value.  I have made mistakes and I may make mistakes, but I AM NEVER a mistake.

I work to heal physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually to bring me to an ever-finer expression in body and mind of God’s Creative Intention of Oneness.  Mmmmm!

I seek direction from Source in all matters.  There is no area of life where God’s Loving Direction is not needed.

I make time for quiet and allow the still, small Voice for Love to speak to me.

I extend Love and Forgiveness to all.  (http://miracarroll.wordpress.com/2013/01/01/the-new-year-time-to-master-the-practice-of-forgiveness-2/  http://miracarroll.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/forgiveness-the-post-office-delivers/

I practice the Terrestrial Trinity of proper priorities in my life:  ( http://miracarroll.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/the-terrestrial-trinity-of-proper-priorities/ )

1. God
2. Self
3. Others

I shield myself from harm through healthy boundaries when necessary, while cultivating an ever-deeper understanding that what I AM cannot be harmed.  (http://miracarroll.wordpress.com/2012/12/19/boundaries-a-three-phase-process-in-spiritual-healing/ )

I respect, love, care for and maintain my body temple as a precious tool of God’s Will on earth.

I AM also joy, pleasure and play.

I express my desires, takes steps to satisfy them, listen and adjust.  I thus allow my desires to lead me to God’s Will for my life.

I live in gratitude for all I have been given, and so I give.

What is your Personal Manifesto?

With Peace and Love,

Mira Carroll

Today I was taking out the recycling at work and immediately noticed a crow pulling on a piece of long plastic.  A futile task considering how strong plastic is.  So I said to ‘him’,  ”Let me help you.”  And he kinda backed away as I approached, but did not leave, he watched and waited.  I cut through a small length of the ropy plastic and placed it on the ground and walked away.  I watched though as he quickly put it in his beak and then tried to pull more off…!   Then I said, “Oh, you want more.”  So I went back and cut lengths of it all for him.  They were quickly taken up and used I am sure for nest building.

Pretty cool.

Please read the article in the link as it is a good example if main stream academia opening up to real solutions to the current issues among the sacred.

The technology, in itself, was impressive, but it’s role was to facilitate the creativity. In an opening scene, the large central video screen showed an image of a train moving along, whilst three ‘vandals‘ in harnesses danced and scaled the wall, then were able to ‘run‘ along the vertical screen, spraying digital graffiti onto the moving train. Like a giant iPad, interaction between people and image, technology facilitating the creative process and storytelling.

Social technology: to serve and to create

As mobile technology permeates ever further into our lives, informal technology supporting social interactions, i thought it may be valuable to think about two ways that technology enables us: how it serves us, how it helps us to create.

I’ve used the partition of ‘serve‘ and ‘create‘ somewhat arbitrarily, but it represents that often we turn to social technology for support and problem solving or for functional needs (what train to get, reading emails, calculating or scheduling things), whilst at other times we use it to capture thoughts, to assist in the process of co-creation, for social learning tasks and pure expressive thought. These interactions are less structured, more creative.

Over coffee this morning on the train back down to London, i’m using the iPad creatively, to structure and capture my thoughts, and i’m using it functionally, to manage my emails and diary. Let’s think about six ways in which i’m using mobile technology in a social way today. It’s serving me by ‘producing‘, ‘sharing‘ and ‘broadcasting‘. It’s creative as an ‘interface‘, letting me ‘discover‘ and letting me ‘express‘ myself. This is a first iteration of my thoughts, it’s an unashamed reflective exercise, and i’m sure the six areas will change as i think it through further, but let’s stick with these for the first pass.

The role of mobile technology in producing content is significant: i have ditched my laptop in favour of the iPad, it’s my primary means of production, travelling with me everywhere and my favourite place to write. I record and edit my video learning bites on my iPhone and use mind mapping software to capture new ideas, as well as Apps like Paper and Adobe Ideas to create models. There’s nothing new in talking about mobile technolgoy as a means of production, but let’s just think about the social nature of the technology, the way that it follows me everywhere. The very nature of the devices impacts on what i write, the fact that i woke up this morning and checked Facebook in bed, took the iPad to Starbucks to draw the diagram over coffee and now am writing on the train.

The clue is in the names ‘social learning‘ and ‘social technology‘. Producing is not enough, we need to share and broadcast. I’m differentiating those two elements of how technology serves us by viewing ‘sharing‘ as the social process of engaging with the community for help in shaping the messages and broadcasting as the technical process of ‘pushing it out‘. Social technology facilitates this process of co-creation, which i’ve expressed previously as seven discrete strands of activity, each facilitated by the technology.

Mobile technology helps me to create by acting as the interface between my and the community, between my and knowledge, between me and an audience or co-collaborators. As with any interface, it’s best when it’s invisible, and that’s a real advantage that mobile technology tends to have over traditional computing: there is no ‘start up‘ time, no need to log in, it’s instant and responsive. Also the clever application of notifications can help to make the experience of using social technologies more conversational (although, conversely, poor use of notifications can make it a hassle).

I use this interface to let me discover things, indeed, discovery is the main element of performance support that i discuss in ‘mindset for mobile learning‘, it’s the ability to find things out fast, knowledge on demand, and then it facilitates me processing and sharing it. It’s a new way of learning. It’s another facet of interface: social technology puts me face to face with knowledge, without needing to interact with a third party. And once i’ve discovered it, i can express myself.

Expression is the creative aspect of mobile technology: the ability to tell my own stories, facilitated by gadgetry, but driven by stories and creativity. It’s the ultimate liberation of ideas: i can capture thoughts, find things out, interact with my community, produce content, broadcast it and express myself, all through these social techs. It’s liberating.

To understand the true impact of mobile, we have to understand the nature of informal, social technology, we need to understand the human imperatives to communicate and to create, and we have to understand how technology serves us and facilitates all of this. My distinction between ‘serving‘ and ‘creating‘ may be wrong, but it’s one iteration in my evolving thought process, and social learning is all about creating the meaning, one day at a time.

Your state of mind determines your existence. What state of mind do you have?

How we got our hands dirty co-creating in Richmond

By Sara Cornish

When our program chair Cheryl Heller was asked to deliver a TEDx talk about creativity in Richmond, she saw a great teaching opportunity—for MFA Design for Social Innovation at SVA, and her undergraduate design class, but also for the greater Richmond community. As Cheryl’s Teaching Assistant, I was excited for the chance to practice the collaborative design process we were teaching (if not also curious as to how the heck we were going to pull off a co-creation project and TEDx talk in the course of a month).

Co-creation is about creating “with” not “for.” In order to create real, lasting change, we designers must genuinely engage with the community. As MFA students at DSI, we’re learning this firsthand through place-based design projects, ethnographic research for client work, and our program’s collective ethos of collaboration. But to demonstrate the power of co-creation to Richmond, we realized that it was going to be necessary to design the garden in person together with neighborhood leaders.

The community of Highland Park, a low-income food desert in north Richmond, said they would love a local garden for fresh, affordable local produce. So we partnered with award-winning Richmond nonprofit Boaz & Ruth to hold a co-creation workshop in Highland Park.

Boaz & Ruth is managed by an inspiring group of social innovators and community leaders, providing job training and transitional employment. Our plan was to design and plan a garden for the community that would provide fresh vegetables to both neighbors and Firehouse 15, a family-style restaurant that employs graduates of Boaz & Ruth’s reentry program.

We convened a group of organizers, gardeners, maintenance staff, and even Peanut, a delightful little six-month-old who reminded us of the garden’s potential for intergenerational impact. Through fun, interactive exercises, we mapped our collective assets, created a colorful map of where the vegetables would be planted, and defined a timeline and strategic plan. Our undergraduate students, Marisa and Anthony, presented their brand identity work to show the Highland Park team what a logo for their garden might look like. The workshop concluded with commitments from the team to stay engaged and lead a part of the effort.

The garden project was announced to Richmond on Friday, when Cheryl gave the TEDx talk that inspired the co-creation workshop. It was truly awesome to see our work come to life in front of the huge and appreciative crowd. Tony Scott, a veteran community organizer and volunteer coordinator for Boaz & Ruth, took the stage with Cheryl to invite the entire audience to kickoff party at the community garden. They grinned and implored the crowd to “just show up and shovel some shit.”

There’s a lot of work ahead to make the garden a reality for Highland Park, but this is just at the starting point. The workshop was an energizing experience for all of us, bridging our differences to create something beautiful. As Cheryl explained that we must count what we have in common and design with our hearts, I could almost see little Peanut nodding in approval, nibbling on a carrot he pulled from the garden.

Numerology is a fantastic way for the Universe to communicate with us when we need guidance no matter if we consciously ask for it or not.  What number is the universe communicating to you?   I’ve attached this video as a starting point.

I’m a 16 year old musician simply sharing with the world and learning from it

How do we know there is a Cosmic Musician? Well, the piece is there, isn’t it?

Thank you for watching

It took the history of the whole universe to lead to the life of one person; if there is life in that person, there is life in the universe they came from, just like if there is life in the tree, there is life in the leaf. Therefore the deepest part of everyone is the life of the whole universe that they are an extension of. Find this cosmic life in yourself and let your freedom be as wide as the universe. The universal story that leads to all life shares the same point of origin, the same beginning of the story. Therefore, we are all different versions of the same cosmic life, the same ancient story, and the more we see this cosmic beauty in others, the more we realize it in ourselves because it is the same****
