Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Werner tells us that context generates process. A contextually-generated process aligns the existing forces within the context. Then the aligned forces provide a condition of workability. Werner Erhard, The End of Starvation: Creating an Idea Whose Time Has Come. 1977, at http://www.wernererhard.net/thpsource.html In a newly-created context the most important position is the position, “It can’t […]
Only Bridging Can Heal a World of Breaking John A. Powell, Yes! Magazine, Nov. 12, 2019 https://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/building-bridges/heal-divide-break-bridging-20191112 Meaningful bridging—like real integration—must acknowledge, respect, and appreciate difference as a starting point. At a time of heightened polarization and intense inequality in the United States and around the world, social differences run the risk of being turned […]
TEDxConcordiaUPortland – Sharif Abdullah – A World for All – It’s our Choice Dr. Shariff Abdullah (he recently changed the spelling of his name for numerological reasons) (1) contacted me recently to inform me of the fact that he’d published a book called Creating a World that Works for All in 1999. (2) His research […]
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 need to bring sustainabilty to them, not require them to run a gauntlet to have it. ‘We failed to reach Europe – now our families disown us’ Tim Whewell, BBC World Service, Nov. 14, 2019 https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-50391297 Most of the West African migrants who fail to reach Europe eventually return to their own countries, but […]
What makes an idea one whose time has come? An idea’s time comes when the state of its existence is transformed from content into context. The matter is not something we can figure out with our minds. This work transcends ordinary intellect. Werner Erhard, The End of Starvation: Creating an Idea Whose Time Has Come. […]
Slavery in many forms – forced marriage, human trafficking, sex slavery, etc. – still exists today. I call for an end to all forms of human slavery everywhere on the planet by Jan. 1, 2022. Your seafood dinner could be tied to slavery on fishing vessels, says journalist Padrag Moran, CBC.com, Nov. 12, 2019 https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/the-current-for-nov-12-2019-1.5356218/your-seafood-dinner-could-be-tied-to-slavery-on-fishing-vessels-says-journalist-1.5356641 […]
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 […]
What will overcome the conditions and forces is an idea whose time has come, Werner asserts. When something’s time comes, change takes whatever form is available to it and happens. Werner Erhard, The End of Starvation: Creating an Idea Whose Time Has Come. 1977, at http://www.wernererhard.net/thpsource.html An Idea Whose Time Has Come Victor Hugo said, […]
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 […]
Werner tells us that our beliefs create a fundamental condition in which we live our lives and give rise to forces which are impossible to resist as long as we approach matters out of that condition. A condition is a position, a point of view or belief, that functions as a fundamental ground of being. […]
Any position we take simply calls up its opposite, Werner asserts. We end up in a “pea soup” of positions and their opposites. Confusion, controversy, conflict, doubt, lack of trust, and opinions surrounding the problem of hunger and starvation result inevitably from any position we take. Werner Erhard, The End of Starvation: Creating an Idea […]
Steve: Archangel Michael’s message is amazingly in synch with Werner’s. Or perhaps I shouldn’t be amazed. 8 – Love+ Discernment in Ascension Channeled by Linda Dillon https://counciloflove.com/2018/09/8-love-discernment-in-ascension/ Greetings, I am Michael: Archangel of Peace, Warrior of Love, Bringer of News. Welcome my beloved friends, sisters, brothers, allies, warriors, peacemakers. Welcome to this Council, and to […]
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 […]
Werner continues with the limiting beliefs that undermine our efforts to make a difference in the quality of life on our planet. Starvation does not persist on the planet, he asserts, because it’s inevitable and there are no solutions.
