Gaia: Vision Cafe - Visionaries Unite!

Okay, Here's my "Vision"...

http://peacefulwalker.gaia.com — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:54:55 GMT

Greetings,

Yes, I do have a vision, so perhaps this is the group to share it in. I'm a nature videographer and my art is producing short, relaxing videos (about 3-minutes long) of nature scenes I've filmed from locations across the United States. My "vision" is providing the means by which people who desperately need to relax and deal with stress can do so in a natural, convenient and entertaining way. You can see my work on my new website, Peaceful Walks.

An important part of this vision entails generating some income from my work, so that I may continue it. From my limited experience so far, it seems the best chance of doing this is to find a business market for them, as consumers are reluctant to pay for watching videos. So, if you have any ideas on what type of business/organization might find these videos of value, I'd appreciate your input.

Thanks for sharing.

And to be honest, after looking at this now, I haven't really said anything that people don't know anyway

Thankyou. I did censor. But not what I posted. There was other material but it was highly controversial and I refused to post it because it related more to the Western world.

I am very hesitant to post everything I see.

The Days to Come

http://starpeople.gaia.com — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:40:36 GMT

What I am seeing is the young people in their early to mid twenties stepping up and starting to address many of the socail issues they are facing themselves. They understand that the old way of doing things does not and will not work. As they are immersed in the issues themselves and want solutions, they see the inadequecies of those in power. The realise that the solutions cannot be accepted by younger peopke if they are forced upon them by the old.

The use of technolgy will be the vehicle for quickly spreading informations about which they wish to address. The older politicians and members of the community will need to step back and allow these ones to come forward and take the lead in dealing with the problems at hand.

The people of Iraq will be facing a new challenge, a challenge that they had always recognised as an issue and it shall be made evident as the social system around them crumbles unde the current and emerging politcal structure,. They will begin to understand that their old long standing hatreds passed on from generation willin no way allow them to further themselves along the path to a stable community if they are to continue down the path that they have travelled. As the old crumbles, a new more vibrant youth will step forward to assist in the change which no doubt will be turbulent.

As I look across the globe toward Africa, I see continued hardship, but there shall be many who will come to asist from the West who hold positions in the public eye. This will be a challenge for the multi-national companies which have exploited these regions for decades as they will be questioned about their role and intentions on how they will support these communities which they have taken so much from and returned little. The excuses of rogue leaders will no longer be accepted as the cause of the problems in these areas and there will be a large outcry from nationals across the globe to prevent the genocide which has been allowed to persist there.

NOTE: I have no real idea about what I have just writen as it just streamed out, nor can I validate this information in any way. But I have posted it truth or untruth, not sure.

Peace - Tony

Hi. I'm Tony from The Star People Blog

http://starpeople.gaia.com — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:23:26 GMT

I thought I'd connect with this group. I like the idea of visionaries. At the heart of a visionary is the ability to create, to project an idea into the void and out of the deep silence turn it into something beautiful, living and tangible.

I play beautiful music, I always have and the reason is because I knew I could from an early age. These days I run web sites and by the end of the year a few of my sites will have had a half a million visitors. Here's how I did it.

I looked at the idea of drawing people to specific sites and ignored what others were doing because I feel that there is always a left field approach to achieve a goal, and most people will not look in that area, they'll copy what is working, but for me it's second hand. So I looked hard at it and went yes, this works, and did nothing extraordinary, just said to myself, this will work and everyday watched it increase and then said yes, this works and by seeing in my mind something working, and feeling it... guess what? It worked.

Now I'm building the Star People Blog, it's a blog about the Dharma, about exceptional people and articles on breaking down the world as we know it, the old gods which bind us and the stepping through the programming which disables us and prevents us expanding into our potential. I will be getting guest writers, I already have a few because a lot of people know my work and are supportive and understand that the intentions are good and there's nothing for sale, just a goal of helping each other be the brilliance which is waiting to get out.

My vision is that soon, in our time, mankind will walk hand in hand with the beings from space, that our children will play with their children. Mankind will walk the stars with our brothers from inner and outer space and we shall live with unity in diversity and all beings will recognize the spark of divinity in all things.

Peace peace peace

I'm not sure I understand, D.U. Wouldn't merging with another pod just make the membership larger and more impossible to email? Pls explain how it might help.

One thing I'd like to say, Michael, is that even neglected and abandoned, left to go to weeds, this group has continued to have posts and threads which are IMO valuable to our community !!!!

Here are some brainstorms:

Maybe things have changed now with the new server. I'd email ~Matthew to see exactly what the max size for emailing Group members is at present. And if that doesn't bring an answer, check with Siona again, or you might check with Chris. He's very responsive.

And if it were me, I'd be asking them all what it would take to enable the mailing of 3000+ members of one pod.

Q&R is a group now, and it has over 15,000 members, and I think the Team must occasionally send emails to the whole group. You could ask about that. How do those members get their info about the daily Q?

One not-great workaround would be to really lean on Vision Cafe members to get onto Notifications, so your posts to the group would be sent via email to all those on Notifications..... We've yet to be able to get data, as mods, about who is and who isn't on our group notifications, but if you bombard people with the necessity of doing that, you might get, I dunno, maybe 80-95% compliance......

Just some thoughts.

Blessings, OM Bastet

Challenge With Gaia's Ability To Grow With Us

http://revolution.gaia.com — Sat, 23 May 2009 22:23:28 GMT

Hi all... It's Michael, the one who started this group a few years back.

It quickly grew to about 3,000 members and was at one time the largest group.

Then we ran into a snag: An apparent technical problem with being able to email group members, which led me to eventually discontinue my efforts to build this group or stay in touch.

hmmm...

I'm in a quandry with this support issue that has been going on at least a year, maybe a year and a half...

I've emailed about it, posted to the support pod about it - and no resolution whatsoever.

Dearest Siona has been kind enough to reply to my personal emails to her (she's always been an incredible support!), and yet it's still unresolved. And it's at the heart of why I've not continued to build my community on gaia (at one time the fastest growing one).

Love you all... and wondering what it will take to ever resolve this.

Standing for Gaia as a community, a web portal and an organization that can bring about greatest lasting change in the world.

Curious what should my next step be... because emailing is resulting in no solution. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Michael Skye

Wow! I like it... I like your passion.

I get your need to be grounded in "reality" and to lead people to "God" and away from "butterflies and unicorns"... but, it seems you've got truth and faith a bit collapsed. Are they synonyms? Is faith based on the observable reality you trust so much or is it an intangible source of power and freedom that is gifted from God? Can you "know" faith or isn't it a never ending process of discovery?

I believe all our values are intangible. Our mistake is to try to fulfill intangible needs and values through tangible means.

I've attached some pages from a book I've written... I hope you'll like some and ask questions about the others...

Re: We need to create a new myth

http://environsand.gaia.com — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 09:16:39 GMT

I love what you have said here Andy -and I do agree with you.
Although I am not sure if we can create a myth in our own time -
I am sure we can create one for future generations to look back on !

Our entire idealogy is created on a myth, which has beocme a rigid
truth to many -I do not believe that is good for human nature and I
do believe that is what is impeeding us from gaining our spiritual oneness.

Before peace can prevail on earth -it has to be achieved~

Re: Through your eyes, what does a better world look like?

http://mindbridge-loa.gaia.com — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 13:04:02 GMT

When we embrace solar, water and wind technology so that the grid is supported by the individuals, there will be less need to control the oil of mother earth, less war and less exploitation.

When we are so spiritual that we can, as do all the other biological beings on this earth, live in true harmony and abundance with each other and mother earth, we will have peace.

Love to all. Thank you.
