Together, we are an Awakening Global Movement, a living, breathing Presence, which is what the LAL is all about, so we can find and recognize ourselves/each other in this context and find ways to support each other and co-create the sustainable world and quality of life that by right belongs to every living being. This Idea will become a bloggerly conversation that has the potential to unleash a level of collaborative creativity that will make its own mark in the world. Maybe one day, for some truly wonderful successes we will be able to feel the delight or their having originated here.

Chronicles of the Awakened Life: Their stories [EHEers and Core CCs] -- about their transformative events, especially in terms of what was before and what came after the consciousness shift that has come to define them and their lives. This can be created and accessed as a page with all the requisite questions and fill-in boxes. These will be published after being reviewed by our staff.

EHEers Making a Positive Difference: Bios of people whose lives reflect the kind of consciousness shift wHe is about. Most will be hirstorical figures; some will be our postmodern contemporaries.

Activist Organizations: About, listings, reviews, successes.

A.	Similar to Products/Services, these are first approved by the wHe/AtL staff and board. But once they are up on the site, they are subject to reviews by our clientele. We will implement some process by which this is maintained with studied care. Again, much as with our products/services, I want this to become a reliable reference resource about and for these organizations.
B.	This will be orchestrated to become, like the hub of a many-spoked wheel, a mega-organization that will keep people informed not only about the individual causes and what they can do to help in each instance, but also will be set up with the agreement that we can and will help each other, multiplying our support and mutual awareness of issues and needs in an exquisitely timely and powerful manner. We will have some kind of flag system to give everyone the heads-up when there is some crisis needing attention or a legislative vote about to be made that needs petitions signed or timely funding [e.g., Katrina] or even recruits for various projects like medical staff volunteers to meet disaster situations, which would be responded to by the constituents of all these great numbers of organizations, as if on the turn of a dime.
C.	Where the usual activist activity is focused on putting out fires or stopping them before they get started [such as "B" above], I believe we can become PRO-active in creative ways as a meta-organization, together, that we have never been able to do as individuals or single organizations. The LAL could be a most exciting center for new and even more powerful ways toward achieving our aspirations and goals, finally as a mutually aware and organized movement!

Our Personal Health, re: the latest brush fires. Not all that looks well and good in terms of the products or foods or local water situation or what our homes and furnishings are made of is indeed what we take it to be, even when it says 'organic' or certified this or that. This subset of the Activist part of the site addresses that blindspot with information and ways together we can actively work to change this challenge. We can set up our own letter-writing campaigns, petitions, boycotts and other means for correcting / improving this beyond simply being better informed. [Maybe we can do something similar about our collective healthcare concerns!]

Become an LAL Co-Op Member: our own buyers' club. You do not have to be a co-op member to purchase what's here, but membership will mean being privileged with reduced costs and specials not available to nonmenbers.

LAL-approved Products and Services: These are first approved by the wHe/AtL staff and board. But once they are up, they are subject to reviews by our clientele. We will implement some process by which this is maintained with care. I want this to become a veritable "good-housekeeping seal of approval," recognized far and wide.

Green and Fair-Trade Products and Services: About, listings, reviews

Social Investing: A nexus for many great organizations, ideas and people to find each other and do their magic together! One important aspect of this is, we will ourselves as an "investors' club" [by whatever label or name] establish our own investment projects. An example given is that of Elisabet Sahtouris and the incredible Andean Project.

thrice welcome!

How might we become deeply relational to or for the World Social Forum? Here's a taste of their passionate and obviously attracting activism, which comes from a brief in Utne Reader [Jan. 2004]:

Under the banner "Another World Is Possible," representatives of social movements from across the globe will gather in Mumbai, India, for the fourth annual world Social Forum. founded in 2--1 as an alternative to the annual World Economic Forum -- where corporate and government officials discuss global economic policy in the Swiss resort town of Davos -- the WSF was established as "an open meeting place for reflective thinking, democratic debate of ideas, formulation of proposals, free exchange of experiences and interlinking for effective action, by groups and movements of civil society that are opposed to neoliberalism and to domination of the world by capital and any form of imperialism, and are committed to building a society centered on the human person." The first WSF drew 20,000 environmental, peace, and global justice activists to the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre [2001]. [2003, same location] drew over 100,000, including numerous heads of state. [They now alternate between India and Brazil. See their website, www.wsf.org.

Do they publish a journal that we could publish articles in? Would this perspective find a place in their annual gatherings at this stage?

STUDY THIS ORGANIZATION. [Short of mention of anything to do with Consciousness-Shift experiences and their implications .. ] THEY ARE FULLY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GREEN CULTURAL CREATIVES, PURSUING EXACTLY THE MISSION EMBODYING THE VALUES AND OBJECTIVES OF WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE THE 'AWAKENED LIFE'. IS THERE A POSSIBILITY FOR A COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS ORGANIZATION?

BuyBlue.org supports businesses that share our progressive values and ideals. We believe in a triple bottom line: people, planet and profit. BuyBlue.org uses our power as consumers to vote with our wallets, supporting businesses that abide by sustainability, workers' rights, environmental standards, and corporate transparency. At the same time, BuyBlue.org focuses sharply on businesses that violate the essential values of a sustainable, fair and profitable society through their policies and the politicians they support.

BuyBlue.org will become a powerful tool used by a community of millions. We will form strong coalitions with stockholders, shareholders, corporations, small businesses and communities which share our values to gain strength through numbers. We will influence the political landscape, stimulate economic growth among participating businesses and industries and use the American dollar as an incentive for corporate transparency and responsibility.
