          Spiritual Activism [A Dannion Brinkley term]:  Although Brinkley does not specifically define this in his book, Secrets of the Light, he mentions "contact[ing] a philanthropic society that speaks to you and to volunteer a portion of your time weekly in order to empower yourself and a cause you believe in ... [as] the most valuable form of spiritual activism over the next few years."  He also remarked that the stress reduction centers he had been encouraged to create by the Beings of Light in his first near-death experience, "with stress being the number one cause of disease among humans ... [would also be] a form of spiritual activism, instituted to help us harness the healing properties of serenity."  So spiritual activism is any activity undertaken with the purpose of reorienting us to qualities that are the natural spiritual heritage we all possess.  We don't even have to recognize this as "spiritual" to benefit.  Whatever means we might invoke to bring into our immediate experience uplifting, nurturing qualities that support and sustain our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being can be a conscious form of spiritual activism.

I.   The Present Forms of this Project

 

At the moment, this long-time venture is in the forms of ...

1.

One static but substantial educational website [Ahhh-TheLight.com]

 

2.

Another umbrella site comprised of several [to be] huge, highly interactive, community-intensive webs, each with its own life and self-creating / sustaining communal interests, and including not only paid workers, but volunteers, consumers, paying members, activists and activist organizations, businesses and NGOs and more, in ongoing, steady-state relationship. All of these complexes will be interdependently relational, as well. Ultimately, when fully operational, there will be easily thousands of people whose careers are sourced in this collective effort that will be a touchstone for many millions more throughout the world. I anticipate the avid participation of numbers of wise, gifted, highly creative, intuitive people who, because they share the same understanding and vision, will take this far beyond what I can even imagine at this point. This structure is in the planning stage, though well developed throughout. Once operational, this will offer a number of global enterprises, among them ..  

 

  •  

A consumer / peer reviewed co-op [think thousands of products and services, impeccably “green” and compassionate. The co-op will become known, by the way, for its something on the order of the ‘good housekeeping seal of approval’ through not only consumer reviews but the use of independent labs, where appropriate, and with a full-disclosure requirement in effect to bring a product / service to this web in the first place.]  

  •  

A unique and ever-popular [wide and deep] “niche market” in multimedia works  

  •  

A whole new generational approach toward cohesive unity that will restructure the supportive networking parameters of global activism

  •  

A study-group organization sourced in the unitive theme of this work that will have a stimulating community-building presence, both online and “locally,” world-wide in scope – with its own research infrastructure, journals, conferences, networks, peer-review processes, and support   

  •  

Three paying membership webs, including the assiduously green, sociologically astute co-op 

  •  

At least one basic, introductory non-paying membership web, somewhat like “the well” online, but explicit in its communal interests  

3.

One completed manuscript ready for the scrutiny of a publishing editor

 

4.

Two nearly completed “companion” manuscripts to the completed one  

 

5.

Several other manuscripts in various stages of progress and probably a dozen or more very rich, very stimulating and in some cases very important ideas that need to be developed in book form. Other media offerings have not been considered thus far, but will be in the future.

        Spiritualistic Capitalism:  In Secrets of the Light, Dannion Brinkley says, "The Beings [of Light, during his first near-death experience] told me that our future is not written in stone.  We still have the chance to change the outcome if only we return our collective consciousness to the reality of love.  The Beings then shared what my personal mission was to be.  They told me I was to establish spiritualistic capitalism on Earth.  They said spiritualistic capitalism was needed because  people had to realize that their security is not to be found in governments, institutions, or religions.  All three of these are necessary components of human life, but they were not meant to be relied upon completely.  Rather than living in a society ruled by godless capitalism, the Beings presented the idea of each one of us finding something we love to do and then using that talent or gift to serve the world while also making an income.  That is the definition of spiritualistic capitalism."

II.   The Present Objective:  

Project Collaborators and Venture Funding

 

BIG QUESTION:  HOW WILL THIS SHAPE UP, INITIALLY?

 

 

           My objective now is to seek out a number of collaborators who, grasping the whole of this work and its promise, feel distinctly drawn to this enormous and co-adventurous task to ensure its becoming all it can be as a conduit for Great Good.  These individuals who initially step forward to take this on with me will feel powerfully attracted to this work because, without doubt, they themselves -- or you -- will have had your own Experiential familiarity within the context of "where the two worlds touch."  I believe absolutely that if handled with nothing short of intuitive, inwardly aware genius, and as a global project with this impact in mind from the get-go, one of the byproducts will be a fairly immediate, perceptible improvement in the economic situation -- I do mean the big picture.  

          Maybe we would even realize more clearly together that we do 'feel' the livingness of consciousness and respond or react to it all the time, but largely without this direct awareness.  In essence, we would catch ourselves in the co-creative act!  This is one of the fundamental realizations of the new consensus reality we are growing into as a species.  So I am predicting, previsioning with purpose and faith that this is something we will experience together, almost from the beginning.  As our numbers and confidence and clarity grow, this will become even more evident.

          Imagine this:  for the first time in hirstory, we would have a world-wide movement of people with the EHE aftereffects values and worldview in common -- overriding all our conflicted differences.  These people for the most part recognize their co-creative participation and potential, they -- I should say, we -- would be collectively, purposefully putting our creative energies into a quality of being, expectation, and outcome that naturally is inclusive [think harmonic, everyone for the good of the whole, together, on the same page -- our collective intentionality as one].  Definitive of the Movement itself, this would not be, could not be, in the old-consensus way, exclusive ['me and mine' -- every person for hirself first and last, with little or no concern for the whole].  Rhea A. White, parapsychologist and founder of the Exceptional Human Experience Network, best puts this in perspective:

 

          ... It is a world we are meant to inhabit [i.e., this new consensus reality].  It is a world in which one nurtures oneself by nurturing others and by not turning away from nurturing oneself as well, as each of us, too, is a person, and ultimately we are one.  ...  It is a world in which one knows that to lie to or willfully harm another being is to be untrue to and injure oneself.  But it is also a world in which "number one" still counts as much as it did in the modern worldview, but in the new view this is so only because one’s self, no less than anyone or anything else, springs from that One who it is said is "without a second."  In a word, this new world is the Self we all are, and it will not be at an end until the whole creation travails no longer. And even that endpoint is likely to be but a new beginning.*

          The difference here, between the old and new worldview, represented by the consciousness shift that will profile this Movement, is that the group harmonic intent is like magnetized iron filings:  they all share a common direction and purpose, and therefore, would be highly productive together, a powerful presence and force for great good.  The 'me and mine' exclusivity is like demagnetized iron filings in chaotic disarray -- like much of our world, right now.  If there was ever a metaphor for the power of love vs. the power of all that isn't, this is it!  

          There is literally a world of difference here!  Right now we have every namable difference that presents itself as a conflict of interest in the world on every level of society, not to mention with Nature.  Maybe the [human] world ambles along as well as it does because of our consensus views about the nature of reality, limited and mixed as they are, and any trust, good will and faith that we can muster.  But if we were more aware and purposeful about this, as a unitive, world-sized, self aware, self-organizing Movement with its own persuasive Voice, the world would change to reflect this in a big way.   

          And by the way, I mean from the ground up as a movement -- this is a from-the-inside-out agenda, person by person, not a top-down one.  To be known, White emphasizes, it has to be experienced.  It has to be born from within each Human Being as hir personal recognition, shift in consciousness, and calling.  It's always there.  Just by openly sharing this understanding [education and exploration, such as through these websites and the EHE Study Groups], we will waken something that has long been dormant or been denied and repressed and forgotten in most of us, to become a viable, singular Presence in the world that has never been realized before.

          The contemporary mystic David Spangler talks about this.  Of relating or relationship, for example, as within the context of "Where two or more are gathered...," there is another present, who is the merging of the energies and directedness of the "two or more." In other words, it is the "two or more" -- and Something More, as one.  David has observed that every community has its own overlighting presence comprised of the living intelligence and intentions and so forth of all who [and probably that] are relational within it.  This has and we have 'presence' simultaneously within multiple dimensions, whether we are aware or not, and we attract from other dimensions, accordingly.

          The point is, we are indeed, together, becoming more aware in this way.   This growing consensus awareness of and within the multiverse consciousness is another signature characteristic of what this Movement and this New Consensus Reality are about.  Dannion Brinkley confirms this as well from his post-NDEs knowledge:  

 

          It is my conviction, based on the scenes [of the future observed from my first near-death experience], that by 2012 humanity will experience unprecedented mental and spiritual transformations .... I sincerely believe a dramatic shift in consciousness will occur within this designated time frame in order to set the stage for what is to come in the years directly following.
          In this new state of being, we will embrace an awareness of the companion spheres of life all around us. And within that awareness, we will possess the knowledge of our simultaneous existence within these multidimensional realities. ~~Dannion and Kathryn Brinkley [Secrets of the Light]

 

          Hopefully, this rounds out the picture of what is being introduced here as a work that will require many people from around the world in a kind of depth and breadth of unitive alliance and collegial intent to greatly facilitate the global embrace of this growing new consensus reality.  Please bear in mind this is not "led" and "made" to happen, and this Movement is already fully present.  But rather in the spirit of the Latin word Educare, "to lead out from within," we would be creating an ambience, an approach into this mutual understanding, as well as tools and technologies and other means toward the purpose of igniting this "self-aware," self-organizing global consciousness Movement.

          If you are with me this far, thank you for your patience!  There are two aspects to the intense development of this project that need to happen now:

 

A.

First of all, concerning the substantial funding this will require initially:  How this may develop is anybody’s guess, but I would like to propose an idea that would allow people to invest within a ‘safety net’ of contributors whose number may be large or small.  This nucleus of people could become its own investment group based on the simple element of common interest and commitment.  This is far from my field of familiarity, but is there  such a thing as an investment co-op?  Or it could be that high-end venture funds would effectively initiate it and as this opportunity becomes better known and wins wider support, others could buy into the project and buy out those whose intentions are not long-term.  Because the revenue streams are many and broad and deep, in the long run, as this multi-enterprise becomes established as a global presence, it will evolve into a complexity of interdependent, self-sustaining/thriving communities, I believe, along lines not unlike Dee Hock’s brilliant ‘chaordic’ VISA.  

 

B.

A close second is my quest to discover a bevy of people, both paid staff and volunteers, with a deeply personal knowing or intuitive recognition and appreciation for the implications of this work, and who feel a distinct calling to participate in this great venture.  Immediate needs are many, such as IT expertise [building and maintenance of the webs]; editorial and administrative staff; money management/planning, business and legal professionals; exceptional entrepreneurial and also activist talents; the core groups that will be responsible for the initial unfolding of each of the several community webs [requiring all sorts of confident, inspired abilities, from artistic to organizational genius, public relations to marketing savvy, subject expertise to empathic people skills]; those who will organize and maintain the world-wide network of study groups, which will be implemented in tandem with, if not before, the completion of the large umbrella web; also, those whose talents will give this project superb multi-lingual outreach.  I feel like I’m missing a dozen or more similarly critical-need areas, but you get the idea, and this is well defined in the proposal itself.
