Here we would like to evolve an understanding of what works in eliciting the potential of any given individual into a free flowing expression of Who They Are. This implies that a line of Commune+I+cation is established that connects with the authentic within the giver and receiver of all informing. Inherent in such a communication is openness and honesty of exchanging that is without judgment or filtering. Today, as a societal convention, largely adopted without consideration of the deeper consequences of how this may be "giving ourselves away", we opt for polite exchanges rather than authenticity. This belies our true nature that finds great joy and meaning in being free to "let our hair down" and be accepted and liked for who we are without the need to withhold our true selves.

I concur that such withholding is a largely responsible for creating a proliferation of conventions that are harming all of our institutions. I am especially concerned with the impact this is having on our children, parents, education, our collective and personal sensibilities of Who we think we are verses Who We truly Are, and the choices we are making as a result. I sense we often no longer recognize the choices that are before us since they have been occluded into a shadow that obscures our clarity.

It is our natural nature to love learning, to be curious about all kinds of "things", to desire spontaneous relating with others, to see the best in others, to enjoy life and beauty, to be attracted to caring and sharing and kindness.

My insights, inspirations, visioning, and commitments are funded from a vast well of such concerns.

Will you join me by sharing your thoughts, questions, concerns, insights, worries, hopes and dreams on these issues?

It is my fond hope that as we sincerely reach out to one another in an open and honest dialogue we will, indeed, see ways of dealing and changing current patterns of decline of our beingness, and the degradation and ineffectuality of our societal institutions back to a functioning that will not only please us but will also delight us!

The goodness of humanity far exceeds our current confusion. As Edmund Burke so eloquently stated, "All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.” I define "evil" as an "energy + veil" composed of that which "is NOT of God or Goodness or Infinite Light&Love". And, since evil is something that is NOT, it is vulnerable to all this IS! People and Consciousness thereof IS something that IS. I recognize the "power" of evil to be one of poverty and gained only by our giving our power away to it. Thus, its fund of strength is tenuous and solely dependent upon our continual beliefs and "giving ourselves away" to it.

I am interested in actively making changes that improve our lives and communicating. I will share what I have learned that works without harming others and that restores "joie de vivre”, "élan vital", and sanity into our daily lives, learning, and being.

This is a work in progress and is ever evolving. Please, brainstorm with me; let us attempt to restore the worldview Louis Armstrong sings about in “What a Wonderful World”.
"Carpe Diem!"
