Sitting outside enjoying the morning with my animal companions including a few visitng birds, my attention was fixed on my decision to re-visit a software I had actually forgotten about until I stumbled upon in a folder. The funny thing was this captured my attentiobn when I was actually pondering something I thought was completely unrelated....the recent death of my father.

You see, I am in process of updating my Clarity: Relationship Valuation Analysis software. Originally, it sold for around $50 but version 2.2 is going to be distributed for free! I am approaching this as my official move into the realm of software art
as I do have other plans for it that include making it available to as many people as possible who can benefit AND using it in an art installation and performance pieces I have been developing with Desmond and Ron.

Yes, I am going to be giving it away. Why? Well that I will share with you in my Source Artist blog shortly. I was working on the revision until around 2am this morning because it is clear to me the program, and its supporting services can be a great service to others. What are the supportive services? The personal coaching via podcasts, teleconferences, and hotline services (phone and online) and special retreats we are developing in Jamaica. We will work out a way for anyone who need these services to access them, so stay tuned. I will not post the access numbers in public, so those who are interested will need to contact us to get subscription info which includes those access numbers and details about the events in Jamaica. The announcements will be somewhat like this but the details will be shared at the cf-Hotel Infinity website(s). The regular Web 2.0 website is nearly ready to open, but the 3D site is still being designed but will be for Cultural Fusion members only....of course membership is free and open to everyone :-) Just let me know of your interest and you welcome to join us!

You can contact me through this site or any of my others if you do not have my personal email address and I will reply ASAP. For now, however, we have provided these services to only a personal network of friends but now it is being offered to you.

Just had an interesting conversation about Wealth Dynamics and one thing that struck me was that it teaches that you create wealth not by chasing money, but by cultiivating harmony as you pay attention ot doing what you love to do. When we do what we love we follow the path of least resistence....through this we enter the flow where what is needed is drawn to us.

What strikes me as interesting along this line of thinking is that the challenge then becomes to do what we are moved to and then resist the impulse to try and make something happen. This is not to say you don't need to take action to realize your goal, but distinguishes simply doing from inspired action. Inspired action does not feel like work because it is what you want to do anyway.

This is the opposite of what most of us have been taught....work harder and do what you're told. Is that why a small percentage of the people have historically controlled most of the wealth?

Tell me about your work. What's your passion that drives it?

Consider checking to see if it might fill a need for one of the existing Cultural Fusion projects and then let me know if something strikes you.

Thanks for posting :-)

All the best!

How do you benefit?

Great question!

Check out the projects i'll be sharing here and and if you can provide a service that will help make it possible AND you feel passionate about being engaged in a bit of the Cultural Fusion experience then post on that project board.

If you have samples (something you were already doing or had done previously) of the kind of contribution required for one of my projects that you can provide send me a link to it. We'll have a chat or two and if we find a point or points of passion convergence then i'll create a "project template" using our combined sample materials to attract sponsorship. When the project is sponsored you will be hired/contracted to do the associated work as part of the collaboration team.

Plus you get the benefits of the visibilty....the possibilty of being hired for another CF project or finding new clients....access to the CRM Strategy to build your own business (sales leads, business inteligence to develop and fine tune integrated sales, marketing and crm strategies) .

AND you get to work with a great bunch of people who are experts in their fields and make a positive difference in the world.

What are your ideas about prosperous play?

Here's what i know/believe about prosperous play. First, that it starts with passion.

Com-fusion_Proverbs: Passion is the desire to find out about an aspect of yourself that you can fall in Love with.

The Cultural_Fusion approach to Passion unites aspects of Passionism as an Ingredient.

“They are painters, musicians, filmmakers, writers, sculptors, and dancers with a common drive: passion. A passion for the process of creativity, not the result. Passionist art comes from the heart….seeking to bring art back to what it was originally about: the fruit of passion and beauty.”

From Wikipedia entry Passionism

As such it allows Love aka Passion to be infused into each Project , ArtWork, etc. Understanding that beauty is in the eye of the beholder this approach to Passion is based on Radical_Inclusion and uniting the heart and mind to work together.

In prosperous play in the context of my current work, which is embodied in Cultural Fusion, it is the convergence of purposeful art and transformative play. Because Cultural Fusion has the goal as an art movement to develop solution that automate global social responsibility the main objective is engage increasing numbers of people in this endeavor…..

Framed as prosperous play, you are invited to engage in dialogue….join in the game….expresss your need, share your ingredient(s), become part of the expedition team as we embark on a quest to discover how to build a culture of peace….as we develop the support needed to unlock the mystery of YOU and your role in addressing the complex sets of challenges facing individuals, businesses, communities, and ecosytems.

What do you say?
