THREE BASIC STRATEGIES FOR MOTIVATING TRANSFORMATION

1. Promote the new. Or..."increase the perceived value
of the new idea." This is the principal work of the
Change Agents, but they certainly depend upon the work
of the Innovators, who make a 'cool' product initially.

2. Critique the old. Or..."decrease the perceived value
of the status quo by attacking it, either directly or
subtly, in short, making the old way of doing things
seem uncool. This is generally the work of the
Iconoclasts, though Change Agents also help.

3. Facilitate the switch. "This is the most important
and the least obvious strategy for making change
happen. It is also where many change efforts fail,
because they forget to reduce the perceived cost of
making the change."

It's my perception/decision, as one of those "other 50%" of USAmericans, a self-appointed member of the Aquarian Conspiracy, to work on "facilitating the switch" here in China, and to develop an income-generating English/Chinese/TaiChi etc. Learning Community with other kindred spirits. PM me if interested.

If/when the guys behind the Chinese wheel of the ship-of-state decide to turn the wheel and focus upon developing a sustainable SHE society (SaneHumaneEcological), then it'll be EASIER than in the US. Even Eco-VP Al Gore didn't have much influence, did he? The petro-chemical/military-industrial lobby is ALSO behind the wheel. The "HEism" message intensifies...Hyper-Exponential growth ROI...return on investment. US-as-a-Movie-Metaphor? Titanic II...

As for radical change in USA...of course, with all those NGOs and sincere hard-working volunteers and Freedom of Speech and INTERNET...there are the connections and the INFO is available to anyone with an open mind...

BUT...the Cabal uses sophisticated Skinnerian framing techniques. As Rush Limbaugh asks: "Your MONEY...do YOU want to spend it, or do you want the government to spend it?" This atrocity-approach has seemed to be effective in dehumanizing a large number of the citizens of the nation. They are victims...all.

Of course, the SYSTEM must/will change...sooner or later...
...as it IS essentially unsustainable...

Did you ever see the David Bowie movie..."Man Who Fell to Earth?" "We're not going to allow you to alter the Social Ecology of the Planet..." These guys are Machiavellians to the core...amoral...anything is justified to preserve the GLOBAL POWER of the PRINCE. And you suggest I should exercise/test my 1st Amendment rights. Patriot Act prevents folks from determining if they're on "The List." Cat Stevens was/is. Edward Kennedy also. I'm reluctant to experience a "search-and-implant" airport anal search.

Morphic Resonance is the Transformation Process which will facilitate the switch to the New Paradigm.
==============================================

To explain creative synchronicity across cultures, or
individuals in different locations, who could not have
been aware of each other's work, Ervin Laszlo has
studied instances where they appear to enter into
field-mediated communication, regardless of the
distance separating them:

<<..the great breakthroughs of classical Hebrew, Greek,
Chinese and Indian culture occurred almost at the same
time [750 to 399 BC]�among people who were not likely
to have been in actual communication.>>

Laszlo has suggested that some creative acts may be:

<<due to the elaboration of an idea or pattern in two
or more minds in [direct, but unconscious] interaction,
a process in which the results transcend the individual
abilities�. Perhaps [when individuals] with high levels
of motivation and great powers of concentration focus
on similar tasks, the similarity of the states of brain
and mind allows some level of access to each other's
cerebral processes.>>

===============================================

Biologist Rupert Sheldrake's concept of Morphic
Resonance is quite relevant.

<<morphic resonance: The influence of previous
structures of activity on subsequent similar structures
of activity organized by morphic fields. Through
morphic resonance, formative causal influences pass
through or across both space and time, and these
influences are assumed not to fall off with distance in
space or time, but they come only from the past. The
greater the degree of similarity, the greater the
influence of morphic resonance. in general, morphic
units closely resemble themselves in the past and are
subject to self-resonance from their own past states.>>
