We plan to use this Blog site as a resource for those who would like to use it for the spoken or written word. For example, many of us have printed books or ideas that address the four questions in the previous blog below. We can use this site for connecting "out of mainstream" writers with resources for printing, marketing, and distributing your ideas to the largest potential audience electronically available--the internet users!
It is my opinion, that we are all pieces of the puzzle necessary to create a humanly compatible planet. I also believe that one of the first steps in achieving this objective is "healthy dialogue." Such dialogue will begin to reveal the "consciousness of the planet" that produces the conditions we observe.
If we can begin to understand others from their perspective, we will have acccomplished the first major step in cultural compatibility. This step is captured by the words of St. Francis of Assisi:
"First seek to understand.
Then seek to be understood."
The actual practice of this quote requires a major step in humility (as discussed in the book, Animal Kingdom)--the willingness to set aside one's own beliefs, opinions, and values in order to understand how others experience life.
Together, we can turn this Blog site into an incredible force for human understanding. Let's get started by your participation and enrolling the participation of others. So, the larger question becomes, "Where Are We Now?" before addressing "Where To Now?"
