Wisdom Writings~~New Vacation Hot Spots

As this journey becomes intensified and quicker, the pace, though faster, will come with the most “now” moments of time standing still as well.  Notice the “holes” in reality and look more and more for those gaps as the “reality” of the “lightness” starts to come through with greater intensity.  All that “is” is energy and all that “is” will shift in its energy as well.

Notice the body.  Notice the cravings.  Notice the desire to be lighter, feel lighter and immerse yourself in the glorious beauty of light.  Soon light “centers” filled with beauty and splendor will be the vacation hot spots, as the soul of many are craving to feel light-filled, joy-filled, beauty-filled.  Now much like a restaurant, there will be places to do your “filling” up.

Enjoy the moments of grandeur, beauty and glory.  Expand them.  Discuss them.  Share them and watch as they become the norm.  Oh imagine a society where complaining is no more and the conversation for grandeur, beauty and bliss are the order of the day.

Feel your glory, feel your light and know it is there, always there.

And to those of you steeped and stuck in darkness, sadness and struggle, we ask you to be there knowing that the truth of who you are is so bright.  You are known as that light by many, many masters.  Allow the sadness, darkness and struggle.  Allow to be loved.  Allow to be known.  Allow to feel connection in that place.  For the cocoon of protection in those times is now ready to be freed,  and the love/connection will bring the wings of beauty that you have been seeking.

We thank you for your connection and know many of you are getting more than glimpses of the Magical Kingdom Life.  We delight in this new connection to the world that we have known to be yours for so long.

With deep, deep love always…………..

2017: Imagine Whidbey Island

Vicki Robin recently wrote a FABULOUS imagineering piece on the future of her home: Whidbey Island. While she won’t be able to join us for the conference, her story seemed too good to miss!

Here’s a link and a taste:

Today, April 14, 2017, is the tenth anniversary of the first nationwide day of action on Global Warming. There were, as I recall, thousands of local actions – including South Whidbey. And I want to celebrate with all of you – and say, THANK YOU. My borrowed grandson Toby is typing this for me (fingers too stiff these days which is tough for a writer) but it’s all my own words.

If you could see us now, you’d be so amazed – and proud – of what you did after the jolt of four blackouts in the winter of 2006 woke us up. Of course, Al Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth that played that fall at the Clyde also helped throw a big bucket of cold water on our old dreams of endless growth.

You sure got busy, and we get the benefit. Let me give you a snapshot of island life, 2017. Now some of it may seem like bad news to you, but really, it’s great!

Starting with those blackouts, people dusted off the old disaster plans from Y2K days and got us all in 20-household neighbor to neighbor clusters. We owe a big debt to the churches that adopted the motto “neighborliness is next to godliness” – whew, they were so organized and so giving. At first we called it “emergency preparedness” but there have been so many emergencies that we’re beyond prepared – we’re just taking care of one another every day. We share tools and recipes and elder-care and bicycles and game nights and book clubs. Each neighborhood has a name (mine’s called Winphia after my dear departed cat and my neighbor’s dog) and we compete on sports days. Lots have bands and singing groups. Mine, of course, is the best. But I digress.

An imagineering story of "co-intelligent" local politics

My Co-Intelligence Institute website is filled with theory about what “wise democracy” — collectively wise and co-intelligent politics and governance — would look like. I love working on theory…

But eleven years ago some friends challenged me to write a story of exactly how it would work.

Of course, wise democracy could work in many different ways, and I don’t think of myself as a great story writer, but this vision suddenly came to me and I described it.

Pat & Pat is an imagineering view from 2020 — a futuristic, down-home story about a new, co-intelligent politics. It tells how Patrick and Patricia McFallow become co-mayors of Story City, Iowa, in 2016. During their four-year mayorship they engage thousands of citizens in powerful, empowering conversations about what they want their community to be like and how they can change it. Of course, the community starts changing, brilliantly and fast….

Even though it doesn’t cover the idea of citizen deliberative councils, which surfaced in 2003, I still love it. Some day I’ll revise it, but for now, here it is….

A personal vision of what could happen with this conference

I wrote the short story The Evolving Storycology Project in February 2007 after some prodding about what sorts of outcomes I was hoping for from this conference.

I’ve been thinking about this kind of story field conference for more than a decade — I began writing about story fields in 1993 — and visions of what might be possible have been emerging and mixing in my mind and spirit ever since.

This imagineering story — it reports back to you from 2015 — is nowhere near a complete vision, but it is one coherent one. If we came anywhere near doing what this story describes, I would be totally blown away. I suspect we’ll do a lot that is totally different from what it envisions — and I’ll still be blown away.

But if by any chance this story excites you, let me know. One of the interesting potentials of imagineering stories is using them to network with others who would like to see that particular dream come true….

Enjoy!
