Social Influence - Creating Futures That Work

An Observation: The Most Successful and Accomplished People In The World Are Those Who Can Get Others To Move In The Same Direction In Which They Are Aiming To Go Themselves … And When This Direction Becomes Socially Organized They Are Also The Ones Who Contribute The Most To Others.

Social Change and Transformation ...

One aspect of Social Influence … and Creating Futures That Work has to do with how we construct the society/ies that we live within.

How we view ourselves in relation to others … our responsibilities and theirs … to the larger system that contains us all in many ways defines the quality of life we experience. When we choose to view ourselves through a lens of entitlement there can almost never be enough that we can get … when we choose to view ourselves through a lens of contribution there can almost never be enough that we can give.

This kind of small and often subtle shift can change the world as we know it. I am opening up this board, Social Change and Transformation, to create a ground for the beginning of a simple conversation that with some care and nurturing may become much more than a simple conversation …

Joseph

PS - One thing that will help this along significantly will be letting others know about this pod as a place to share their ideas with others, pick up some new ideas, and maybe along the way refine a bunch of ideas amongst us all … spread the world … pollinate!!!

In The Name of Gracious and Merciful Lord of the Worlds.


Joseph,

i have recently joined this Comminity, and your thread caught my attention.

When it comes to the word “Create”, i think that is the first step where most people eat the hook of dellusion.

Anything is Possible, is the second mantra.

Why? you may ask, or not.

Because, as long as the human misses the Unity with The One that has Truly Created ALL that is, and is not, that particular human will be happy riding the own dellusions.

You see, it is all about the distance between Centres.

No matter where you are and what can you Adumbrate around your senses, if one doesn't Operate from Formlessnes - INFINITY,  there is a Limitation Present.

Creating is not a suitable word for the human kind. Because if it was, the human would create himself and the timing of self delivery from the womb of the Own Mother.

Creativity, Purely, is to be replaced with the Word - Findability.

Yes, one if blessed, will Find things s/he was meant to find, from the Creator.

in my life, all i ever have created were problems.

Now, i follow, the Guidance of the GPS of the True Centre of the Universes. GOD of the Worlds.

When it comes to Social Change, the best Change is Changing towards the Un-Changeable - The Reality.

The Question What is Reality, i have answered detailly in “my” blog inside this Community.

One Lives Life when the Distance between self and GOD, is Zero.

Praise be to GOD. The Lord of ALL That  is, and is Not.


Peace,

Rinon Hoxha - Ustahi

Joesph,
I do like this topic but it seems to be a dead one as far as attracting converstation. As an American I am deeply concerned about our misguided culture and I have written a book about some aspects that need to change.  Most people do not realize that we live in the remnants of a viking culture and that viking is actuallya verb for armed men going out to take what they want in the world. As evidence we still have Wodensday and thorsday each week. Get it?  My book is called This Tribe of Mine:  A Story of Anglo Saxon Viking Culture in America.  Information about it can be viewed on my website thistribeofmine.com.  It encompasses many of the topics you represent here.  Look at it and lets talk.
