NCN New Members, November 96

From: Flemming Funch (ffunch@newciv.org)
Date: Thu Dec 26 1996 - 23:11:11 PST


These are bios and messages from new members who entered them in November.
There are more new members, but I only included those of you here who typed
something in intended for the audience here.

Some of the bios still get cut off. There's a limit of 400 characters, so
sometimes you get cut off in mid-sentence.

I'm working on the programming of the on-line member database, so currently
the listings don't work, but they should be back again in a few days.
http://www.worldtrans.org/newcivnet.html

There are now 920 people in the NCN member directory.

Welcome to all of you!

There are many ways of describing what happened to me. "Spiritual
Awakening", "Moment of Clarity", "Satori", whatever. I drank my way to
skid row in San Francisco and one day I stopped. That was a little

today if I had spent my life "striving". I now find life exciting and
I'm thrilled to find this website. Thanks

On this site, I am hoping to find two things:
I am eager to connect and network with people who are working towards (or
at least interested in) these visions of organizations as organisms,
learning orgs, etc...

Secondly, I want to make friends. I'm 26 and I sacrificed a lot to have
time to become a manager (working 50+ hours) and go to school (10+ hours).
So, don't be shy. Say "hi".

Message:
When we are children, we all dream of what we want to be when we are
adults. I wanted to be a pro baseball player and a movie or rock star.
Then I got older and my dreams changed, became more "realistic." I had
my degree and got a fairly good job with the govt. making more than
all my friends, but still wasn't happy. And I realized that I actually
still had the same dreams as I did when I was a child. So I decided
(after reading The Celestine Prophecy) to try to acheive with a "What
the heck?" attitude, just to see if I could do them. So now I have
been playing semi-professional baseball (single "A")for two seasons, I
was amazed that I made it since I hadn't played competitively in five
years and it was a real struggle first but this season I was voted
league's most improved player. And here I am in Vancouver taking
acting lessons and writing scripts and screenplays, trying to break
into showbiz. I'm so glad I read TCP when I was still young enough to
pursue my dreams knowing that my success only depends on one thing --
the amount of committment I put in. The tools are there, I just have
to use them.

Message:
I believe that whatever one's disciplines are, that they should be
guided by sound spiritual principles (not dogma). I believe that the
world is evolving into a single country with a world government and
that spirituality will be infused into this organization of nations
sometime in the future. In fact we can't keep it from happening.
This is mankind's destiny and it needs to happen so we can organize
the world's resources to best benefit mankind in the most equitable
and humanitarian way. Time to give up our nationalism. Time to give
up our prejudices and discover the ways that our diversity will help
strengthen our unity as the only spiritual species on the planet. I am
a Baha'i by faith and I believe the principles in this Faith that I've
learned can help bring the world together.

For years now I've been looking between the lines and going below the
surface of what's been evolving with our government and it scares the hell
out of me. The scariest part is that people are so busy they are blind to
what is happening in their own community.

For about the last year I've been digging up everything I can and getting
the info out to as many as I can. I figure if enough people are made aware
of what's really going on we can take back control of our lives and
destinies.
If we don't get united soon and turns things around.......
our legacy to our children will be a living hell..
People better start thinking up an answer to the question our children will
be asking one day in the not so far future "What were you doing when our
freedom was taken away?"
People need to open their eyes and see that this war on drugs is a world
wide movement to chip away at our constitutional rights. All the government
or police have to do is mention drugs and people say okay, what they don't
realize is that their rights are being taken away also not just the rights
of the drug community. For instance did you know you no longer have the
right to face your accuser? We gave up that right because law enforcement
said if an undercover agent testified his life would be endangered.. Is
anyone getting the picture here?? This is happening in all area's of
government.
Thanks for listening.
