The project to put a man on the moon by the end of the Sixties is an example of creating a context, which transcended the forces ranged against it, and brought about the result. The use of a deadline allows for an orchestration of efforts which would not be possible if we left the goal […]
‘We Failed to Reach Europe – Now Our Families Disown Us’

Matthew’s Message for Nov. 15, 2019
Note from Suzy Ward: Matthew said he didn’t speak completely about GMO foods and asked me to amend this part of the message about them: Genetically modified foods themselves are not harmful, but chemicals in the insecticide are, so thoroughly washing those foods and all other produce as well is important. Also, chemicals and sugar […]
All Beings are Birthed from the Heart of One
How can we effect change without losing inclusivity? Michael said recently: “Do not get caught in the drama of white hats or black hats, or good guys or bad guys.

Creating an Idea Whose Time has Come – Part 7/12

Creating Context as Creating Structure, Belongingnesss, and Involvement
I remember how I’d sit around doing precious little as a child until the day arrived when I could join a baseball team. All of a sudden I had a structured activity that I enjoyed in my life. I had a sense of belonging – I wore a black baseball cap, belonged to Dietrich Collins […]
Creating an Idea Whose Time has Come – Part 6/12

Wearing Many Hats
It’s probable that all currency holders after the Reval will be playing multiple roles – that is, wearing many hats – rather than just one. I’m no exception and before I go further with the discussion of creating context, I need to say a word about them. Otherwise even I get confused as to who’s […]

A condition is a position, a point of view or belief, that functions as a fundamental ground of being. […]

Creating a World that Works, by Jan. 1, 2023
I’d ordinarily wait for Werner’s booklet (1) to finish being posted before writing this article, but, just as I couldn’t stay a moment longer in the hospital, (2) having read the document, so I can’t wait another day before beginning to outline where I and this blog will be going. As you’ll see if you […]
Why are We Wasting Time and Resources Building on a 3D Level?
The issuing of the 2023 declaration brought some comment on Intel Dinar Chronicles. I’d like to share one of the articles I posted there: LB: “Why is it even though we are told again and again that the New Earth is not going to be something that we build on a 3D level we are […]
Creating an Idea Whose Time has Come – Part 2/12
Our activism is not neutral. We come to it with beliefs which impact our effectiveness. Here Werner looks at the assumption that food is scarce and therefore some will eat and some will not. He shows that hunger persists in the world not as a function of scarcity. But believing in scarcity and approaching an […]
