From: Flemming Funch (ffunch@newciv.org)
Date: Tue Apr 08 1997 - 00:58:30 PDT


This is my favorite message I send out every month.

Here again are the bios and messages for those of you who signed up during
March. Only those of you who wrote something are listed. And, again, I
apologize that some of the bios cut short because of a limitation in my
program.

Welcome to all of you!

Your web pages should now also be listed on the, by now rather lengthy,
"Visit our Members" pages from http://www.worldtrans.org/newcivnet.html.

NCN now has 1330 members.

I hope your mail programs don't choke on this message, this is the biggest
listing of new members so far.

Message:
I found my way again to the NewCiv site (I recall the M2M sessions) this
time by way of the CELESTINE PROPHECY. My Mission I think has something to
do with the fundamental architecture of creative culture. I have been most
impressed with the Community Building techniques facilitated by Scott Peck.
Mystical experiences have changed my life, and I have been conscious of a
difference in time for at least ten years.

Message:
I have spent way to many years enduring negative circumstances that
result from childhood conditioning and reinforced by my own ignorance
into adulthood. I believe it is true that life dishes out the same
lessons UNTIL one "gets it". I feel for the first time in my life I
am more serious and deliberate about co-creating my future; to have it
represent my beliefs. To erase the tapes in my head born of
negative conditioning to replace them with tapes of positive
conditioning. The interests identified in my brief profile reflect
those things in which I wish to engage more meaningfully.
Additionally, I want relationships that represent a depth of discovery
seldom achieved in the past. Although I have friends that go back a
long way, I want to cultivate friendships with like-minded people
where trust, bonding, and enjoyment of each other can thrive.

I join this group having recently read Ishmael and found it profoundly
thought provoking. My hope is that it will put be in touch with
others and from this grass-roots "bumping into each other" situation,
synergy will result. So I will want to know how to engage in the
internet communications.

Thanks,
Karen

I am a graduate student at the School for International Training in

visioning the creation of a sustainable eco-village here in Vermont. The
primary residents of this community is for people who have had int'l
living/working experience. This would be a home-base, a place to leave our
stuff, return to, give back to the local/regional community from. There
will also be a rotating core group who will remain in the community at all
times. We are a group of social change agents. For part of our course
requirements for our Social Entrepreneurship class, we are each (4 of us)
designing a phase of the program: Land trust, intentional community,
eco-sustainability, and a retreat/training/healing center. We will have a
complete business plan created by the end of May. I/we are looking for all
assistance, ideas, etc. that can assist us in the creation of these
"businesses"/visions. Aisha

Message:
Utne Reader Magazine profiles people and asks them "what are you currently
obsessing about?" Well that would be the concept of what I call
Mega-Greenhouses. These are sustainable greenhouses that are built to a
massive scale to meet the food needs of various places around the world.
With the population explosion occuring, world hunger is bound to decimate
the world food stocks to epidemic lows... I believe the business will see
this coming and will begin funding huge Mega-Greenhouse complexes to
produce cleaner food and more of it. The old practices of fossil fuel &
pesticide farming are going to eventually be replaced by these facilities
that will recycle wastes back into fertilizer, keep out pests by pressure
sealed greenhouses, and cultivate non-mutenagenous seed stocks internally.
This is something I want to be a part of before it even becomes a reality.
So it will be something I will hope to help popularize for the future. The
other thing that I am really heavy on is pollution-free energy forms such
as Solar power and Hydrogen energy. As the fossil fuel industry reaches its
end business will shift massively to these cheap and clean forms of energy
in cars, homes, and all other technologies. I want to be around to see that
day happen. I personnaly predict this shift will happen seemingly overnight
in the next 5 to 7 years, and it will be a very massive shift that will
take the world by storm and cause a sensation never before seen by
humanity. Those days will be the 'time to be alive'... so I am trying my
best to push that along and do my part to make it so.

Message:
I really hope that there is a chance for the world to be less
stressful and more catered to individual humans than a whole society.
I find it sad when people are scared to reveal their inner thoughts
(I had hesitations to put my real info down but I figure, people
should know me for who I really am). I hope to be more outgoing
and that my dreams through persistence will come true. I hope that
I can lend a helping hand to those who feel they need support in
finding their life purpose.
Through all the coincidences that occur in my life I want to find the
special one for me. Sometimes, I wonder if every individual really
has a special one for them, for I see people in utter misery and then
I see those who should be together stay apart for the fear that there
is someone more suited to them.
I want for people to see that money should be a means to help one
another and not be used to control people. I myself am in a financial
crisis and I get frustrated when I can't immediately seek my future
when I have nothing to help me with.
Does anyone out there have the same views?

I have dreams of a different world. A world where we don't take everything
we can from the planet and from each other. A world where we are no longer
addicted to the god of consumerism and a world where the beauty of nature
is allowed to just "be". I believe that world is attainable but can't be
attained until enough of us decide that we don't know the answers and must
let God guide us into the right actions for survival of the planet much in
the same way as alcoholics have to surrender to a higher power in the
twelve step programme of AA.

Bio:
Living in Thailand for 16 years having arrived with the US Peace Corps.
Interested in sustainable development and plans for how societies can make
the transition from exploitive technologies to those espousing energy and

pipeline industries.

I have noticed a tendency over the last 20 years in my life that the unsoken
longer term fantasies have come true. This applies to places I have wanted
to work, jobs I have wanted to have, experiences I have wanted to gain and
the make up of my present family. I am currently trying to refine this
phenomenon by imagining the greatest and best thing I wish to acheive/become.
I may very well go to the University of Michigan this year to study Natural
Resource management and foresee a future working with a company/agency
developing and/or marketing sustainable solutions for the developing world.

Message:
I want to see spaces set aside for people who wish to live in a
primitive, unfettered manner. Anything from a bedroll to a tar-paper
shack for a home.
One's "Territory" would be what one was capable of maintaining; like
a hut, garden and a chicken run. Cattle or goats, etc. would be on
free range. Living space could not be bought with money.
The ideal area would probably be savannah grassland or forest edge and
far enough away from the city to be comfortable for both its residents
and its neighbors.
The economy would be based on barter.

Message:
At present, I'm invovled in starting Liberty School--a democratic learning
community for high school students. We are committed to helping young
people follow their own passions, dreams,becoming independent as well as
collaborative learners. the two fundamental questions we ask as we prepare
both students and ourselves for the 21st Century is What does it mean to be
an educated person? and What does it mean to be human?
We plan to open in September. This is my third school. Miquon Upper School
in Philadelphia is now in its 27th year (now called Crefeld School), the
Deep Run School of Homesteading in York Pa. and after 12 years as baker and
owner of Left Bank Cafe, getting back into education. Just copmpleted my
4th book of poems based on the myth of Sisyphus. The New Civilization
Network is vital to the kind of communication necessary to connect all the
"points of light" showing the way.
I'm fairly new to the internet and am eager to communicate with anyone
interested in education, poetry and the creating of a new society that is
growing along side the corporate global society.
