<p>Hello!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have been challenged on a daily basis to keep stretching my own worldview and operating metaphors. I keep feeling that the game is changing! I am part of process called the Gaian Navigation Experiment which is exploring potent co-evolution with our planetary Mothership. I have been in serious upset regarding scapegoating that conversation, and wrote about it to clarify my own understandings. I am sharing those words here in case anyone on this discussion might contribute from their perspective</p>
<p></p>
<p><font size="2">"I appreciate that Andrew started this discussion and others' contributions. I am confused by this infusion of 'conspiracy' thinking and scapegoating into an otherwise potent evolutionary organismic consciousness. Everything that has been attributed to the 'evil' of Jewish people is also true of American people, invaders and murderers of First Nations People, occupiers of indigenous land, with decades of global domination and genocides. It is painful to be confronted with such narcissistic unconsciousness - and I appreciate that it is surfacing to be seen in the light of day. Emotional states held in the limbic system have a very different frequency - anger, blame, etc. impact John tone of voice and syntax, like a rambling drunk, which tells me that he is in pain and constructing a narrative to express his pain.<br/>My questions are about how to do we support John through his rage? What need does this member of our human family have of the rest of the members in the experiment? In his self-assigned role and sometimes genius insights as navigator he is contributing significantly to my learning and as he encourages to see, he is also allowing himself to be seen. Just because someone is smart in constructing analysis and serving higher evolution, it doesn't mean that their being has cleared its' limbic system. This whole targetting and then engaging in the mental exercise of 'Is he on target?' is falling for the distraction of the frontal lobes trying to protect the wound.<br/>So I am coming out to say - I hear the wound. I am opening up to hear my own wounds differently and I hear from a lot of people every week and ever increasingly, that people's core wounds are surfacing and often projected outwards onto a hostile other. I hear the power attributed to the external forces reflecting an internal disassociation from core nature of love. I believe that being a member of a planetary body inherently taps me in to frequency of love that is the most powerful creative force in the universe. That force does not have adversaries, that is a misnomer that attributes to much power to the very weak controller-predator consciousness fields. I experience those as non-physical parasitic thoughtforms which John names as Archons. They do not have a race, they are more like Mr.Smith, capable of entering any form. I am not implying that there have not been sub-groups of people who have been infested/overtaken by these forces. I don't know if anyone else every looked at George Bush and thought they were not looking at a real human being?<br/>For me, from an organismic eco-systemic consciousness, if there is an invader/disease in the organism, engaging in old-school dualistic war with the entity may kill off the present manifestations....my personal operating metaphor is change the PH of the environment to make it inhospitable to the unwanted organisms. Bacteria/viruses/cancer thrive in an acidic environment = hostility thrives in a fear-based environment.<br/>I am called to stand as a warrior, connecting to the archetype for its' one-pointed devotion to a cause + action. I am not naive that fourth-dimensional entities and thoughtfields, perpetrators and manipulators are committed to self-perpetuation by any means, mostly diabolical - thus appreciating the Mephisto metaphor and analysis. But I refuse to enter their game and fuel that fire. War on drugs, war on cancer, war on the perps - no thanks. Transform the social terrain, transform the bio-terrain, transform the psychic plane out of duality - this has been the inspiration/instruction that I have received from Kali - Chandika She Who Tears Apart Thought. <br/>I am grateful for a place to share my reflections and evolving process. It is an unfamiliar and exciting horizon. Like now we are getting down to business to dive into our collective operating metaphors and come to personal clarity and alignment. <br/>Please share your thoughts!<br/>Ana"</font></p>

I am opening the door to learning more about Love as a presence, a substantial energy field and as a form of higher intelligence. I want to deepen my understanding of the connections of Love Intelligence, Co-creation, Personal Responsibility and Internal Locus of Control/Choice (meaning no intermediaries in my understanding of Free Will development at this stage). I want to build my relationship with Gaia by re-mapping myself into an organismic consciousness, which is another Solstice gift/translation of being a cell in the body of the Earth.<br/>

I look forward to your sharings about this!<br/>

<p>Psychosocial Development Case Study Analysis 2</p>
<p> </p>
<p> This assignment required an analysis of “The Case of Marie”, a financially self-sufficient, 68 year old, retired small business owner of mixed Scottish and American-Indian race, dealing with depression and grief from the death of her husband of 47 years, who was her best friend. He died of cancer 5 years ago. Now, at age 68, she has moved from her town, where she had lived all her life, to a smaller town to be closer to her two daughters, Lisa and Toni. Lisa, age 50, and Toni, in her mid-40s. Both daughters each have a young child. The grandchildren present Marie with physical problems and occasional stress, as a result of her age and physical condition. In fact, Marie underwent knee replacement surgery, yet is still mobile and able to socialize, though she prefers to be in her own home. She does not prefer to take prescribed pain medications for knee problems unless she is in debilitating pain, as her daughter is addicted to pain medication for an injury she suffered on her job. Marie complains about possible future loss of her memory. She has reported that she “feels like she has no purpose”.</p>
<p> This analysis will examine these issues as they relate to later adulthood, and the integrity versus despair, and generativity versus stagnation stages of development, from my perspective as a future professional mental health counselor. I will also offer holistic care concepts and metaphysical insight to shed light on Marie’s knee injury, and help her understand the symbolic perspectives that accompany life issues whose understanding can help heal mental blocks and her physical condition. </p>
<p>Later Adulthood</p>
<p> New opportunities emerge for growth at each life stage (Newman and Newman, 2012, p. 529). Optimally, elderly people develop coping strategies for the changes that come with adapting to aging.</p>
<p>Psychosocial Development Case Study Analysis 3</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Age 60 marks the beginning of what is referred to as Later Adulthood. The search for personal meaning in life happens when achievement and power give way to experimenting with new activities, roles and relationships. At this stage adults have demonstrated their ability to adapt to life’s crises, and have accumulated a wealth of life experience to be able to construct personally satisfying answers to questions about the meaning of life (Newman and Newman, 2012, p. 528).</p>
<p> While patterns of aging are not universal and vary greatly among the elderly, there is an intricate interrelationship between social, emotional, physical and intellectual (mental) development which, when recognized and nurtured, can help the elderly invent a new life structure for themselves that allows for a sense of belonging, satisfaction, and an openness to enthusiastically experience art, foods, and new ideas. Being optimistic and taking advantage of the unpredictability of life at that age, even under stress and uncertain situations, can offer the opportunity to give Marie an ironic sense of control over her life (McConatha, McConatha, Jackson, & Bergen, 1998).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Integrity versus Despair</p>
<p> Being able to accept the facts of one’s life and then to reconcile and integrate those events of life in a meaningful way yields a sense of integrity for Marie. As a counselor, I would begin by helping her remember the successes she experienced in middle adulthood. Her goals of being a successful business owner who worked hard, and had good relationships with the people she encountered there were realized. Her husband was her best friend, so recalling some of the wonderful experiences they shared while raising two independent daughters can help her appreciate and accumulate personal satisfaction,</p>
<p>Psychosocial Development Case Study Analysis 4</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and contentment with her life, now that she is in the later adulthood stage of living (Newman and Newman, 2012).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Depression</p>
<p> I observed several possible sources of Marie’s depression. </p>
<ol>
<li>The death of her husband</li>
<li>Retirement</li>
<li>Her living arrangements have changed</li>
<li>Her knee injury, and fear of pain medications</li>
<li>A daughter addicted to pain medications</li>
<li>Stress associated with grandchildren</li>
<li>Fear of memory loss</li>
<li>Lack of a sense of purpose</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p>Retirement</p>
<p> Studies show that retired people do not participate in community event more than working people (Olsen & Berry, 2011). But there is a strong association between participating in several activities while in retirement and less distress in life (Olsen & Berry, 2011). Helping Marie adjust to retirement by</p>
<p>Psychosocial Development Case Study Analysis 5</p>
<p> </p>
<p>exploring new activities of interest, and finding personal or community groups can provide a source of enthusiasm toward taking action to attend predictable activities into which she can channel physical, mental and emotional energy. Many elderly people find new sources of enjoyment with family and perhaps new friends that they make. The freedom to develop new interests without having to go to work allows the possibility of spending perhaps more time with the family. However, if Marie still wants to work, then she can still work by her own choice or volunteer at a place of her choosing, and work whenever is convenient to her new life (Newman and Newman, 2012) and avoid the pitfall of isolation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Widowhood</p>
<p> As a widow, Marie, like all other widows, has an opportunity to learn to function in her household, as well as socially, without the presence of her husband (Newman and Newman, 2012). She is lucky to be financially secure and not have the problems that can accompany lack of money. I would help her begin to replace the comfort and security she experienced while with her husband by finding ways for her to function independently. Activities like driving, shopping, gardening, housekeeping, managing home repairs, preparing meals and making decisions for herself can help her realize that she is self-sufficient (O’Bryant & Morgan, 1990).</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Psychosocial Development Case Study Analysis 6</p>
<p> Perhaps in her spare time she can create art objects like scrap books or photo albums that allow her to look-back fondly on the life she and her husband shared while he was alive. Yet, at the same time, Marie can be reminded that the death of her husband now gives her the opportunity to redefine herself, and to develop a new repertoire of behaviors that will help to strengthen her ego. She can use her husband’s death to recognize value in her own life and share those emotions with her daughter and grandchildren inspiring them, as well as her own self, as they recount the life of integrity that her husband lived (Newman and Newman, 2012).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Living Arrangements/Cultural Values</p>
<p> Roberto (1986) has found that factors like a person’s age, and the number of friends and family influence successful development through later adulthood, also referred to as the late maturity stage of development. Marie already has a ready-made support system now that she has moved and is living closer to her daughters and grandchildren. </p>
<p> Living arrangements and cultural values associated with independence and individualism or interdependence or collectivism could be at play here in Marie’s case (Newman and Newman, 2012). She has reported that she “feels more comfortable in her own home”. I suppose this could mean that she prefers to live alone at this point in her life, though closer to her daughters’ families. I might inform Marie about the statistics that explain the various living arrangement decisions that are made by widows all over the world to best suit their personal needs. Interstate migration among the elderly has increased since the mid-1960s (U.S. Census Bureau, 2004b). I could offer suggestions for Marie’s daughters to help Marie adjust to her new home. They could help her decorate it in a way that is personal and satisfying to her. Her grandchildren could help. </p>
<p>Psychosocial Development Case Study Analysis 7</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Physical Condition/Knee Problems</p>
<p> As a mental health counselor, I intend to bring metaphysical perspectives, techniques and strategies to be used alongside traditional clinical approaches. Alternative, holistic and spiritual approaches are able to help clients perhaps to see their life from new perspectives, given their willingness and to receive such information. I am fully aware that there are those who might not be open to receiving such information. However, getting to know my clients and tailoring a personal counseling style that could foster the sharing of such information is one of my worthwhile goals toward being effective in helping clients “generate” new levels of consciousness awareness that could spur greater well-being and lift the veils of depression and despair.</p>
<p> For example, I would help Marie and perhaps even her daughters to come to understand the possible spiritual significance and symbolism that might be associated with Marie’s knee injury.</p>
<p>They might be surprised to learn that knees represent “pride and ego”. From a Chinese Medicine point of view and American authors and alternative therapy healers like Louise L. Hay (1984) shared that not surrendering to the Will of God or the Universe when confronted with the opportunity to move forward with ease in life could leave a person feeling unsure and vulnerable. Marie, in dealing with retirement and the death of her beloved husband, might be experiencing fears associated with moving forward in her life, and is resisting change that accompanies later adulthood. Perhaps in psychotherapy, Marie could explore whether she is “stuck in the ego”. Further, those who practice strategies that address energetic anatomy could use understanding of “energy medicine” to help Marie uncover whether there are symptoms of kidney dysfunction</p>
<p>Psychosocial Development Case Study Analysis 8</p>
<p> </p>
<p>resulting from an imbalance of energy moving through that area of her body, as sore, stiff knees are indicative of kidney problems. <a href="http://healyourbody.livejournal.com/1228.html">http://healyourbody.livejournal.com/1228.html</a></p>
<p> Even though Marie has already received knee surgery, she could still benefit from making changes in her consciousness that allow her to affirm and accept the “flow of life”, and be more “flexible” in her decision-making (Hay, 1984, 1987, 2004). The knee is said to be where we assimilate new knowledge and new learning from an energetic/spiritual level. This is one reason why people “kneel” to pray or ask for something. Interesting, right?</p>
<p> Marie loves to read. Perhaps, informing her about books like Louise L. Hay’s “You Can Heal Your Life”, and Carolyn Myss’ “Why People Don’t Heal, and How They Can” can provide and stimulate a new sense of aliveness and interest beyond her current state of awareness. Carolyn Myss (1997) shared that when we create illnesses (knee problems or injuries, etc.) we are changing the speed at which our lives are moving. Marie’s knee injury might be providing her with a sense of safety in not confronting her issues of depression, etc. </p>
<p> Working with her physical therapist while healing her emotional state can help Marie change her thoughts and her thinking about her life to more optimistic ones which can help her release repressed energies that are likely hindering her state of balance and well-being. Perhaps as Marie heals internal issues she will need less medication for knee pain.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cognition/Fear of Memory Loss</p>
<p> In the aftermath of unpleasant life events like the death of her husband, Marie said she was “profoundly shaken by this loss”. She also said that she becomes “depressed and anxious around</p>
<p>Psychosocial Development Case Study Analysis 9</p>
<p> </p>
<p>the anniversary of his death”. The elderly encounter reminders and memories that they would prefer not to think about (Anderson & Reinholz et al., 2011). When this happens, they, like Marie often try to suppress or inhibit unwanted memories from awareness. There are techniques which can be used to help the elderly intentionally suppress unwanted memories through inhibitory control (Anderson & Reinholz et al., 2011).</p>
<p> Generally speaking, frequency of contact with children and neighbors, volunteer activity, and marital status predict slower memory decline (Ertel, Glymour &Berkman , 2008). Although Marie is no longer married, counseling her family about her condition and helping them come up with ways to ease her comfort level when the grandchildren are in her presence will allow all of them to get along better. Even Marie, as a grandmother, can learn a style of grandparenting that improves their relationship by increasing her interest level in being part of their lives (Newman and Newman, 2012). Multigenerational family bonds, provided the family members permit and support those interactions, can add vitality to Marie’s life, rather than being a hindrance intergenerational solidarity (Bengston, 2011). The children can be taught to respect their grandmother’s personal boundaries given her physical condition.</p>
<p> Many grandparents play an especially important role to the family in times of family stress (Landy-Meyer, 1999; Goodman, 2003; Mills, Gomez-Smith, & DeLeon, 2005). Calling Marie into quality interactions with her family can also be a way to help alleviate her depression and generate a new sense of belonging, given her enhanced mental state of awareness about her life as an elderly woman.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Psychosocial Development Case Study Analysis 10</p>
<p> Cognitive functioning in later adulthood is multidimensional and varies among individuals as well as differences within the same person (McArdle et al. 2002). Speed of processing, reaction- time, and short and long-term memory are all affected in later adulthood (Newman and Newman, 2012). Marie’s fears are likely irrational as there is no evidence that she is losing her memory. Studies show evidence that people in their sixties and seventies continue to improve performance in memory tasks, motor-speed and visual attention (Krampe & Charness, 2006); Yang, Krampe, & Baltes, 2006). </p>
<p> Again, redirecting Marie’s energies to new roles and activities will help alleviate her fears and keep her active and strong physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Conclusion</p>
<p> Marie is experiencing what many people in later adulthood experience, particularly after losing a loved one, retiring from work, relocating to a new home, experiencing illness and/or decreased physical mobility. As a result her life has lost meaning. Even her surviving family members have become a burden to her. With proper counseling for her and her family, Marie can be helped to restore a fullness of living by becoming active again, accepting the flow of life, and re-experiencing the joy of living. Perhaps she might even one day consider the possibility of romance and sexual intimacy with a partner of her choosing. By observing the positive changes Marie is making in her life, and participating in Marie’s counseling, her daughters and grandchildren can heal as well.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Also, I finally read the first book in the Ringing Cedars series - Anastasia and experienced it to be very clear and supportive of relating to life with Earth. The books are available in various countries and many languages.</p>

<p>Anyone who has read them - please consider to share your experiences!</p>

It was inspired by Jean Victoria Norloch's request to send her some of my writings. I then contacted Ana Sophia, who had received the term „Gaiacracy“ when she was visiting Greece, her <font color="#000000">father's</font> home land, and asked her to write down her latest insights. Meanwhile I wrote a short summary myself and sent it to her. The text below is Ana's expansion of my first draft - a unique expression of co-creative energies at work :-)</font></font></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"> </span></p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"> </span></p>
<p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0.42cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Calibri"><font color="#0000FF"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried.</font></font></font><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3"><br/>- Winston Churchill</font></font></font></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">If we have a close look at the global political scene, we are shown in dozens of ways that it is not people who hold power, that national and international decisions rarely serve the good of humanity or of our planet. It is easy to perceive the power of an economy which concentrates wealth and dominion into the hands of a few who act in their own interests. This gives us functionally an oligarchy, not a democracy. This small group knows how to use the manipulative power of mass media to engineer the political theatre of modern democracy. The unique needs of many cultural and racial groups are compromised in the lowest-common-denominator election processes. Choices in leadership reflect the level of consciousness of the majority, voting with their fear and projections of authority. Thus, Winston Churchill's words have turned out more than true – and become a challenge to ask ourselves, "How will we evolve the social-political model of democracy?"</font></font></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Gaiacracy is not the answer, not the next contender – meaning that it is not another ideology to be rolled out into the mental boxing ring of partisan politics. </font></font></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Our engagement with exploring the work of Gaiacracy seeks maximum impact on ourselves, not others. It is a soul-expanding journey of internal resonance. As we relate with each other and deepen our relationship, we will be pulled into coherent actions to express this intelligence in co-creative ways. Similar to a cultural identity, we do not try to convince others to be Greek or Mohawk. We enliven the activities which strengthen our experience of culture and innovate over time through social interaction.</font></font></span></p>
<blockquote style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><em><strong><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Gaiacracy is a vibrational intelligence. It exists already for the vast majority of life-forms and the minority of remaining indigenous cultures who function in harmonic symbiosis with the Earth. Modern societies of humans have distinguished themselves as the only species to commit crimes of genocide, species extinction, mass destruction of eco-systems, air, water and land pollution and poisoning – just to start the list. Through our current collective state of crisis comes an opportunity to shift out of our role as destructive parasites on the body of the Earth. </font></font></strong></em></span></blockquote>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">When we talk about Gaiacracy, we acknowledge Gaia as a living Being of a higher order. Implicitly, we count on a myriad of genius practices of the biosphere to sustain us – atmosphere, water cycles, seasonal shifts, food chains and growing seasons.</font></font></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Our human version of Gaiacracy will be created through the translation of the complex, diverse life-support systems of our benevolent host into a sustainable, life-affirming political system. For now it is a shimmering vision of a few individuals in its most elementary stages. The inspiration this word provides is based in its’ role to concretize a name for an evolving system of government. It is not a subjective value like “peace”, nor an abstract principle like “liberty”. It is based on the word GAIA – the ancient Greek concept of the intelligent consciousness of the Earth.</font></font></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;">“<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3"><i>Again, as the American Indians tell us, we are children of the Earth and we must take good care of our mother, and respect her. We are living Earth. Each of us is a cell, a perceptive nervous, active unit of the Earth. We are Earth alive and are beginning to be concerned about the Earth. The living consciousness of the Earth is beginning to operate through us. All over the world a kind of Earth democracy (gaiacracy) is taking shape.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Communication is most alive in the form of dialogue where it embodies the wisdom of ‘the medium is the message’. If the message has already been written, meaning, if an idea is shared as a completed truth, then it has become stagnant; there is only one-way communication, the message is being broadcast. In effect, the message is already dead because it has become a closed system. </font></font></font></font></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ccffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">Gaia works much differently. As water moves through a watershed, the same water moves through many temperatures, speeds and gathers, redistributes and absorbs from its’ environment. It is in deep dialogue with its’ surroundings. </font></font></font></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">The depth of this dialogue as an evolutionary process connects to the teaching of Sri Aurobindo, “Those who want to make change must be willing to be the most changed.” From this awareness, as students of Gaiacracy, we commit to our own transformation by the process of learning. I can say that I want to become more Gaiacratic, and I can only do so in experimenting with others to relate more deeply with the life-processes of Earth.</font></font></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">The co-creative energy connects to the teachings of Gandhi, “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”, which claims the value of engagement in the present moment and accepts full personal responsibility for creating a new reality. Thus, we cannot wait for the savior to appear or for any external authority to resolve all our problems: We have to take responsibility – not only for our own lives, but also for what is happening on our Planet, and do what we can to contribute to the solution of the problems that humanity as a whole is facing.</font></font></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">These are two complementary elements of co-creative relating to evolve the experience of Gaiacracy. GAIA, Mother Earth, and all living beings can be treated with respect as our interdependency is being recognized not only verbally – but through personal and communal experience. We are learning through any interaction where we are relating to explore, affirm, test, or have healthy conflict over our experience of interdependence with other people or life-forms. The work of John Seed and the Council of All Beings is an inspiring example of Gaiacratic consciousness.</font></font></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Modern democracy has all the limitations of a Newtonian 3-d reality: a centralized force which acts upon its environment. Gaiacracy is emerging from the compost of post-modern meaninglessness, where people’s desire to be in connection to life is establishing an Integral Co-creative Wave throughout the world. Paul Hawken’s book “Blessed Unrest” is a wonderful documentation of this process.</font></font></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #ccffff;"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">What we have now are smaller communities of meaning in dialogue about how to expand their ability to be co-creative with others. What a ripe field that is! We can expand our capacity to be interconnected, while remaining autonomous and self-responsible. We also have rapidly shifting parameters which themselves are creating new conditions for deeper dialogue. As we can perceive a needed skill, there are many communities who have maintained a consciousness field.</font></font></span></p>
