DIVIDED we FALL


THE present crisis of confidence in the global economic model, has resulted from
the lack of understanding of the inter-related nature of "the beast" and the lack of computer modelling to reflect this fact. In all the heart-searching and finger-pointing that is presently being manifested, throughout the world's media, little has been spoken abouts the "quants".

These are the highly paid back-room boys of the investment banking industry who have created what I would call a collection of 2D models of the individual component parts of the risk management process, rather than a fully integrated 3D loopback-model of the potential consequences of the risk management process.

GOOGLE 10 to the power 100

Historians have often referred to the 19th Century as that which was dominated by British Imperialism and the 20th Century having being controlled by the economic might of the USA. Only time will tell what banner will be affixed to the 21st.


In the meantime, despite the warnings of Dwight D. Eisenhower about the military industrial complex and Jimmy Carter's so-called Malaise Speech , in the context of the Masters of the Universe at Goldmann Sachs, Americans are no longer masters of  their  own fate.

Sometime around the 1960's there was a tipping point, when the "empire of production" began to become the "empire of consumption". When the cars started to be produced elsewhere, and the television sets, and the socks, and everything else. And what we ended up with was the American people becoming consumers rather than producers.

Without the "Wisdom of Knowledge" of this particular facet of understanding, is their any wonder that, those whom the people assumed to know otherwise, have NO KNOWLEDGE of what to do in the ever changing circumstances of our lives on this planet or, consequently the WISDOM to have planned to implement the only solution to the problem ... TEAR-UP the existing blueprint and START all OVER.

In the event of such lack of foresight, oversight, commitment and leadership, paying for an analysis of "what went wrong" from those responsible for
"what went wrong" IS ALL that the people are being offered.

THE LOVE of NATURE ...

The_love_of_nature

is indeed THE nature of LOVE ,

manifested in ALL of us, adults and children alike ,

as the moment by moment ,

opportunistic actions ,

exemplified by nature IT SELF,


falling leaves ...

moment by moment

return to their roots.



ON this day of commemoration of Christopher Columbus' landing in the New World on October 12, 1492, let us ALL seek to exemplify the opportunistic action of nature, by seizing the moment, at this time of quintessential change, by opening the door to ...

the future of our species.



LET cooperation and collaboration drive our opportunistic actions.



"ONLY together
, [as merchants of LOVE ] , can our starlight help us find our way,
in this cosmic soup of choices and beauty."

behind the power of LOVE...


111

one word

one world

10 to the power 100 

sentient souls 

as ONE SOUL



Project 111
uses existing and emerging internet technologies to create a bottom-up, grassroots visions-driven revenue generation system (2 cents from each dollar of profit could be DONATED automatically by every IP infranet transaction) that is large enough to capture the visions of anyone in the world (10 to the power 10 souls personae), secure enough to allow self expression, and sustained by a scaleable, multi-dimensional, closed loop risk-management and evaluation-process model serving a diversely integrated, international network of sentient souls and their advocates requiring help (“thinking globally” and “responsibly acting locally”), and those willing to provide help … and thus “powered by LOVE

AlphaINDEX of Stories
The 111 proposal would be founded on a google social networking tool-set, filtering the google search process, and indexed by an ...

AlphaINDEX of Stories

An AlphaINDEX which is a  compilation of stories of helpers and the helped, in recognition of Muriel Rukeyser’s statement that “The Universe is made of Stories, not of Atoms,” to provide a truly intelligent interrelatedness of knowledge and human experience. 

Inspired by principles of human rights responsibilities, 111’s scaleable technologies would be based on a core triangular pyramid of four spheres: “east, west, north, south”, “truth beauty goodness as one”, the FOUR “truths” as pronounced by Tom Nolle, in his support for ipSphere, and providing a structure to accommodate the “four truth perspectives” of all 10 to the power 100 sentient souls, reflected by the 111 network of 10 to the power 10 souls personae. As the network initially expands through the next triangular pyramid of ten spheres, relating the stories of TEN ‘founding souls’, then those of the TWENTY  ‘representative souls’, comprising 2 families of helpers and the helped; until potentially, the  stories of all 10 to the power 100 sentient souls, including the souls that have been, of one world as ONE SOUL, “of the people and for the people”, had been told.

Then, just as the two minds of the CEO & CFO of Standard Chartered openly shared the idea of a plan with Her Majesty’s Government, to bail-out the British Banking system, as a model to solve the global financial crisis, so too the 10 to the power 10 minds of our species, appropriately interconnected, would release the wealth-creating power of ideas, as a result of openly sharing, within an inter-network of networks of Thinking Environments, to serve the mutually beneficial needs & aspirations of Global Social Responsibility. 

The greedy have ever created systems to serve their own needs; now some souls motivated by LOVE can create a counterbalance

Democracy was originally a “system for accomplishing what can only be achieved by citizens joining together with other citizens”, based on concepts of the equality of personae and of “inalienable rights.”  Successive generations established a Help for All model of capitalism, which worked FOR democracy, at the heart of nations engaged in production.

Nations subsequently transformed from production to consumerism, severing the link between democracy and capitalism, such that democracy worked FOR capitalism as Help for the Few, with the consequences  which 10 to the power 100 sentient souls now face. 

The need for quintessential change is apparent. 111 provides the basis of an entirely new, scaleable and accountable model which would provide HELP for ALL, as a result of democracy and capitalism working for the mutual benefit of one another.

Potentially, 10 to the power 100 sentient souls as ONE SOUL, would benefit by letting global collaboration and cooperation drive our opportunistic actions, as a result of establishing a sustainable mechanism to provide HELP for ALL, based on the conscious capitalist values of Josiah Wedgwood.

Listen to the CHILDREN
Empower a group of loving souls, including children, and visionary technicians to lead the way to “what can be?” thinking.

Patriarchal Western thinking of the last millennium has been concerned with “what is” analysis, criticism, and invariably geared to “who do we blame for this problem?”

In this 21st century, we need to concentrate on thinking concerned with
“what can be”, “how can we help each-other?”

Emphasis must move from judgment to solution design  


The very first priority will be to fund an enthusiastic group to lead 111, and provide a productive thinking environment, including women and children. Listen to the children as to how to proceed. They will, after all, inherit the earth, right? Why should they not be part of the group that leads the way? There are brilliant children waiting to be called upon on this planet.

I say we give them a chance. 
   
The greatest realization of the power of humankind’s information economy, the internet, will be used not only to retain and share information, to foster ideas and promote commerce, but to generate a global economy based on a wealth-creation of ideas, geared to living in a sustainable & respectful society as “gracious guests of THE gracious host” and driven by a mechanism designed to pull the negative energy of explosive and destructive confrontation, into line with the positive energy of the creative understanding of "good intentions and communications", which is the power of LOVE.

The 111 network of 10 to the power 10 souls personae as advocates of the 10 to the power 100 sentient souls on planet earth will allow this power of love to pertain, on a truly global basis, regardless of gender, ability, age, cult, creed, dogma, religious, scientific or political persuasion. 

Evaluation and accountability of and for all expenditures will be built into the system from the outset. 


ALL hail to Kathy for drawing my attention to The Google Project and to Janie and Martha for helping me produce my submission on behalf of ALL who would support it.

2B truly CHARITABLE …

Posted on Oct 28th, 2008 by Michael : catalyst-producer Michael
Deep_thought_jack_111
the mind-set SWITCH of each and every one of the 10 to the power 10 members of our species must be set, through independent ACTION, to become an advocate for their own set of 10 to the power 10 sentient beings [on our planet], as a result of acquiring THE wisdom of understanding of knowledge of our independence of interdependence, as well as realising that there is NO THING natural about killing another person.

To put our very own conscious LIFE brigade into some kind of BIG PICTURE context, just consider that today’s new moon marks the beginning of the eight year phase of a cycle which will “see” the sun at the heart of our solar system; nestled as it is in its defiladed position between the spiral arms of the Orion and Sagittarius, being carried along at approximately 220km/sec, as our Milky Way Galaxy rotates within the heavens as just one of more than 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe; traverse the parallel-universe galactic-plane-disc of our Milky Way Galaxy, by way of our Sun’s own independent yet intersecting,  parallel-universe elliptical-orbit-plane trajectory.

As the American Voters contemplate who will potentially be their President for the next eight years, to coincide with the entirety of this cosmic event,  let ALL the members of the human-race hope and trust that it will be the most VISIONARY and OPEN-MINDED of the candidates who will be chosen.

The failure of the global financial system is now being attributed to a lack of understanding of the interdependence of each and every one of its global parts, by ALL of those who have previously claimed to have had a better understanding than their clients, customers and voters, whilst being paid by the people, through their fees, custom and taxes, because ALL of those responsible for the failure of the global financial system supposedly “knew better as a result of their experience”.

That is why all the promises of change, as a result of experience, from those that exemplify the OLD ORDER MIND-SET, are false promises.

The ONLY promise of truth, in the context of the US Presidential Election and the future of life on earth, IS the promise of a change to a NEW ORDER MIND-SET, which has yet to be ACTED upon, in no un-similar manner than the founding fathers deciding to set out from Plymouth Harbour, in search of a NEW LIFE in a NEW WORLD.


1 word   …  set
1 world  …  of a NEW ORDER MIND-SET
1 soul    …  as exemplified by ALL life on earth


Through selfless caring and compassion,
which IS the power of LOVE,
in the face of selfish sophistication, arrogance and greed,
let us UNITE as ONE SOUL.


Did "YOU" understand ...
ALL of that mickel?

OH YES Jack I did indeed
