This group will focus on the writings of David Korten and Yes! magazine, devoted to raise awareness of the necessity and possibility of turning from Empire based thinking to Earth community orientation. I would like to see members studying David's works, and the magazine, in order to have structured, meaningful discussions.
We will analyze and discuss the stories we are told and learn to recognize the lies embedded in these. We will also need to develop a new story that will inspire us to cooperate and build community instead of divide us.
We have a choice!
We have the power!
We are the ones we have been waiting for!
Economy and society are falling apart. Now is the time for fundamental change.

David's speech on the content of his new book on the New economy.
A good intro to his work, and highly relevant to our discussion.

Comment by Joe Fulton on March 27, 2012 at 10:38pm I posted a message on Charles Eisenstein with an invitation for him to check out our discussion and to participate.
It is by reaching out that we draw together the web of the future. We have communicated with Fran Korten and Sarah Van Gelder. We look forward to further correspondence and work on projects with all groups and individuals.
Comment by Daniel Noga on March 27, 2012 at 10:10pm Found this book and film that may be of interest to other group members:

You can read the book free online from the website. So far, it looks like it mirrors most of what we've been discussing here.

Comment by Martin Euser on March 25, 2012 at 4:48pm To be clear: I have RSS fed pages, not discussions. These can be followed separately in my group on Temple Illuminatus.
Things have just started there and I hope will people there will add to this discussion. The more people involved the better.
Comment by Martin Euser on March 25, 2012 at 4:43pm Above you can find an RSS feed of the starting pages of my group on Temple Illuminatus. Since it can only show 5 items, I guess I will have to manually post some material to two sites now. Anyway, the Depiction of the problem shows the point on the consequences of peak cheap oil. Then follow some postings on permaculture: ethics and principles. I will put more on this later.

Comment by Joe Fulton on December 26, 2011 at 5:42pm I wish I could be that optimistic. Until a graceful way out is figured the trend will be towards greater marginalization and frustration.
As much as I like Rachel Maddow. MSNBC is also part of one of these corporations and when they start hitting too close to something that hurts they'll become very establisment, too.

Comment by Joe Fulton on December 26, 2011 at 2:26pm I find that the situation with the Occupy movement becoming more and more marginalized here in the US is putting off the days of reckoning, and making worse the inevitable.
The "rich" have won for now, but what may happen in the coming years is that those who have tried to speak up will feel increasingly disenfranchised. When appropriate behaviors have not worked, perhaps other types will. Our leaders have forgotten all of the lessons of the ecology / civil rights protests of the 1960's.
When the disenfranchised lose hope the results are not pretty.
