NCN, New Members, February 98

From: Flemming Funch (ffunch@newciv.org)
Date: Thu Mar 12 1998 - 23:32:04 PST


Happy birthday NCN! March 13th is the 3 year birthday of the New
Civilization Network. It started with an informal message I posted on the
Whole Systems mailing list, which got a lot of positive feedback, and it
seems we've turned into quite a movement since then.

Below is a list of new members from February. Welcome!

For any of you in the greater Los Angeles area who aren't on my local
mailing list, there's a New Civilization Salon event this Saturday night in
Malibu. See http://www.newciv.org/ncn/lasalon.html

Bio:
I'm working as a Senior Computer Operator in the airline
industry. I basically fill my time with reading, on anything I
can get my hands on but I'm currently reading on the potential
of the Web in helping us to live our lives much better. On a
lighter note, I do love Jane Austen novels and inspirational
stories.

I don't quite know what to say but I just feel that I can make a
difference in this world. I don't know how to go about doing it
or where to begin. I want to do something worthwhile with my
life and be able to contribute to mankind, in my own special
way. At least when I die, I want to feel satisfied that I hav
done my darndest best to make the world a better and friendlier
place to live in.

I am very much impressed with the power of the Web and I feel that we
can all utilize it to bring people closer together to work towards
making our world a more pleasant place to live in.
I would like some suggestions/guidance that can spur me on to make my
life more useful by doing things on the Net for the benefit of my
fellow human beings. I appreciate any comments. Thank you

I am interested in furthering my insights into the spiritual
realm. My abilities are in the communications field. I am a
salesman therefore I communicate. I am into name recognition and
advertising. I am a community worker in that I volunteer a lot of
my time to voluntary community service.

I am interested mainly in furthering my relationship with God and
his plan for me on this earth. Whatever I do I will strive to
adhere to his plan for my soul. I want to understand the meaning
of my life and attain the insights as described in The Celestine
Prophecy.

I am desirous of forming a relationship with someone after I attain
the self centering of my inner being. I have someone in mind but we
remain platonic in aspiration of the control of the inner self.

I am interested in learning. I am constantly trying to learn as
much as I can, whether it be from books, documentaries or other
people.

The Celestine Prophecy really made me think about my
spirituality and since then my life has been going up and up. I
don't give all the credit to the book, but it did help me to
realize a many things.

I'm not sure exactly what will come of this. Maybe nothing, maybe
everything. Thanks for your time and the best of luck to you in life!

break out of myself and join in harmony is my pursuit. To live in an

purpose in life, a goal I am willing to put all my energies into, more
importantly as a single cell in a body of multitudinous diversity in totem

Bio:
I am a German student/consultant in international development. I
studied in Berlin/Germany and Duke, Durham/USA. Currently I am
working at UNDP in New York.

My interest is: to raise the awareness that everybody can
contribute to the shaping of our future. In international
develolpment, I therefore eventually will focus on the support
for participation of communities/individuals in the management of
their own affairs.

Languages are: English and German (fluent), Spanish and French
(not quite so fluent...)

Message:
I want to learn! Currently I am looking for alternative ways to live
my life. Basis of this quest is my conviction that a fullfilled
personal life is a necessary prerequisite for having a sustained
impact on how the world and our global society develops. The strength
one gets out of a fullfilled life and the example one sets for other
people are important parts of this impact.

With this motivation, I am joining this network.

Bio:
Studying Gemology and Jewellry Manufacturing Arts. I speak
French, Sanish, and conversational Russian. Looking for spiritual
peace. Single by choice.

My life is a work in progress. I'll know when I get there.

I have always thought that there was something missing in my life. I
looked for it in other people, in organizations, but I came up short,
never feeling satisfied with my own way of thinking. I have always
been rebellious with the organized religions of the world and their
rules and constraints. I want to have a spiritual part of life, but I
do not want to compromise my own belief systems. I recently ended a
co-dependent relationship and moved in with a friend, who happened to
own a copy of the Celestine Prophecy. In the past 24 hours my life and
way of thinking has taken a complete turn. I have read the book, and
am ready to look to the future with a new attitude. I have learned
that my energy is MINE, and I cannot be coerced into giving it for
another's benefit unless I want to. What a revelation!!!!!! I am 23
years old, and for those 23 years I have fed energy into other people
without receiving any energy in return. I am ready to receive energy
from the Universal source and to enhance my own life and others lives
with it. I need some direction, a little push onto the right path,
maybe just a little insight on how to find the right path. I would be
appreciative to anyone who would be willing to talk.

My interest is in finding the mechanisms that will help propel us
towards a world that functions on a higher level. A level where
opportunity, knowledge, and community is readily available. I
had the opportunity to meet former California Govenor Jerry Brown
and I asked him what the mechanism might be that is going to
usher in this new revolution his operation in Oakland is talking
about, his answer..."I don't know".

So, here's to finding out!

Born French Canadian/Roman Catholic. Was military, then Soto Zen, and now
Karma Kagyu (see chebucto.ns.ca/~ab006/web_buddhism.html) ... still French
Canadian!

I think _discourse ethics_ is where it's at; the whole
instrumental/phallocentric approach to dealing with the world (including
the other sentient beings in it) is successfull in the same way as cancer
and psychopathy is successfull. (see
chebucto.ns.ca/~ab006/fallen_angels.html)%0a"From the stormy waves of
birth, old-age, sickness and death ... from the ocean of samsara ... may I
save all beings."

Community ... where discourse takes place ... the campfire, the well, the
bedside of a dieing friend ... where we have the opportunity to note that
community means not "as one" in the sense of "as though one", but "as one"
in the sense of "constrained by situation, conditioned by history,
in-formed by inspiration of bliss, as it truly is: one".

people, art, architecture, reading, writing,languages,
traveling - exploring and living all over the world ...
exchanging information about cultures and traditions - the
fundamental common essentialities and the differences; building
bridges without prejudice; combatting ignorance, bigotry, and
promoting common sense understanding

There's a traditional tale in many cultures about the frog that
grew up in a well. That well was his world, the only one he
knew; one day it rained so hard that the water level rose to the
rim and the frog jumped out to the rim of the well, surveyed the
meadow beyond and decided to explore; so he jumped out and
across the meadow and arrived at a pond; he looked at the pond
and decided to go beyond, to a river, a lake, a sea... and then
he hopped back to his well, and jumped back in.... or maybe he
didn't... but wherever he decided to go and settle, it came from
an informed choice, not out of knowing no other. Education,
awareness, is the fundamental key to all choices in life.

I hope to contribute to an understanding of our human similarities,
common necessities, wishes and dreams, world-wide; to decreasing the
fear of the different which engenders prejudice, jealousies,
enviousness, between individuals as well as between
nations/cultures. I hope to throw stones into the water of the well,
pond, lake, or sea, and have them create ripples that spread rather
than sinking in silence without disturbing the surface. May we all
have and/or give ourselves a chance to look at the world beyond our
well and make an informed choice; whether it be to keep on exploring
or to return to the well's perceived safety. But whatever we choose,
let us be aware of the choices; let ours be an informed choice.

through harmony/cooperation and I seek to portray that neutral
energy in all that I do. Cosmicly Speaking Rose

PEACE, UNIVERSAL PEACE is all I hope for, dream of or desire.
The only thing I question is why not?

Good, small and hairy guy with thousands of brilliant idas, and
quite a few rediculous ones, with a monumental need to share and
cooperate.

I have a vision. Well, actually I have a whole bunch, even one that
involves a soda pop poetry machine, but I want to share one, no two!
important ones with you right now. The first one is a free global
encyclopedia, with all the information og culture you could EVER
absorb in a lifetime available ALL the time, for free, updatable by me
and you, contained in a beautiful little thing shaped like a seashell
with a built in modem receiving data through airwaves and a direct
optic nerve interface.

The second thing is very VERY green planet.

Oh and one more thing! A teleporter!

More later ..

Bio:
Systems Analyst by trade, doing PowerBuilder/Oracle or
MVS/COB2/DB2. I play flute, paint with acrylics, canvas, brushes
and time, a lot of colorful Aztec iconography. I am Chicano
male 30+ years of age. Enjoy beauty, reading, peace, home,
communicating, sharing, giving, working for the future of our
kind. I am trilingual, happy, joyful to be with, enjoy laughing
a

It is better to be one within than one without

My hope is to someday live somewhere warm with beautiful nature and
people all around me. My desire can tilt from the profane to the very
devine, contingent on my attitude for the day. I have a very powerful
imagination, with the ability to conjure the signified to the
signifier in language. Dreams are sacred like my reality, within all
of us there are seven sacred paths we can move towards in life, up,
down, left, right, backward and forward, the seventh is inward, and I
try very hard not to put center in anything (ie. drink, god(S), love,
money, land, ...) other than my ownself. My plan is continuing
enjoying life and hopefully meet more beautiful people like myself.
Questions are many, with few answers, and more questions to follow
questions, so I try to veer from probing anyone, I seem to believe
people are OK in nature, but there are many dark clouds in our midst
that we have a responsiblity to bring out of. I always maintain an
air of happiness and joy that I like to share. My only bad side is
that I can be extremely critical on the other if insulted. I don't
like this side cause it requires looking deep inside people and
pulling out the bad so they may recognize it, and hopefully change it
some day. Who knows!

Bio:
Participating in the process of becoming a truly global/universal being and
co-creating the space and energy that facilitates the transformation of
others to reach more complex levels of experiencing life. Right now my
passion centers around designing a weeklong experiental class on spiral
dynamics. The more longrange vision is of an educational, healing, research
and sustainably living centered compound/home/think&feel-tank a 1000 feet
up the mountain above Kona, Hawaii. A place where residents and visitors
are constantly challenged to become more.

So pleased to have found NCN. Synergy, creativity, spirituality, purpose,
wondrously in love with the experience of life, interconnections, magic and
science harmoniously married, energies abound in a beautiful dance, life
beyond metaphor, shifting paradigms eternally, this life here and now more
and more fully, laughter, deep planetary concern, solutions, CHANGE,
loveinclusiveness, adventure spirit, the ocean, surfing, naked cavorting in
the tropical sun, kites dancing on the wind, information and what I can do
with it and so much much more are the words that came to mind when this
screen popped up. Seeing a world where we belong,(as opposed to own)
intimate relationship with all life, gentle trailblazing into the wild
yonder on a physical, mental and spiritual safari. Responsible life without
limit. Also, handling immidiate global systems in need of TLC, tirelessly
influence and respectfully inform. Alignment and restoration.Reforestation.
These are some of the things that describe me.

Interested in ideas: sceintific, like evolutionary psychology and
memetics; philsophical, like nihilism, determinism, actualism, and hedonism.
Abilities: I can think, read and write.
Activities: finding ways to amuse myself

We all have our own reasons to want to bring about a new civilization.
Personally, I'm bored with this one, and unimpressed with the opportunities
for enjoyment it has to offer.
I want people to try and shock me with their idea - it hasn't happened to
me in years, and I miss the rush that comes with encountering something new.
I'm looking for other minds who will be able to listen to what I have to
say, which may be nothing, but I want to say it anyway.
