3rd:~ Where should we go, who can we stay with, who wants to travel with us, who is willing to make these organizations along with our own contacts?

4th:~ How should we distribute the outcome?  Yes, something big can come out of this compendium, but we prefer to journey together and not all focus on an arrival point at some distant "mega-movie".   So our intention is to publicize everything, webcast live as much as we can, archive episodes very quickly, and also prepare media for you to share through public TV, and private gatherings or any other way that you can invent.
 

5th:~ Donate resources, money, time, or a case of apples from the tree out the back of the shed.

First post your ideas here below, contact us at producer@nevernothere.com, and . . . . 

We thank you for being visible to this dream and exploration for the expansion of Awareness across this common Earth that we share.

How can we invent new ad hoc theories that even our best universities haven't been able to come up with?  We need a national open dialogue.  And sure, certain issues can be tackled too, but that can't be the first priority.  No matter what is done on individual issues, it won't be a quick fix.  Then there will be a backlash, and all of our progress will be undone.  That must be inevitable if all we are about is "against something".

I believe that every radical issue that we adopt now, no matter what the level of obvious injustice, will only serve to disperse the 99% and deflate this beautiful initiative before meaningful dialogues are the norm.  People have to have issues and slogans to motivate participation.  Let's talk of participation because of the momentus opportunity this can be to restructure our society. 

Who in the world can restructure and de-stratify society better than us, the people of Chicago and the vibrant and educated population of America?  We right here can create the brotherhood that the whole world has only dreamed of.  We have been educated for our whole lives in these principles, even if they weren't equitably applied as we grew up, we know what we want.

If we believe that anger and outrage are the most potent tools we will wear ourselves out and alienate many millions that are home praying that we make some right moves and prove our love, concern and tolerance for all of our brothers and sisters.  If we handle these early stages right and proceed with some equanimity our numbers will swell to get some very important jobs done.  You who are out on the front line must be acknowleged for how important your contribution is.  Let's handle ourselves such that we can impress our families and even convince our parents that this movement is honorable and that we will create the first truly just society that includes every citizen.

 Here is some Paul Lowe from the same book that sets it very simply.

"There is a state of being that has been described as "the peace that passeth all understanding," the Tao, or the Hidden Harmony. Closer to our own experience we tend to describe it as happiness, spirit, freedom, source, or inner peace.  Yet no word or phrase can really express the nature of that state.

This indescribable state exists equally in everyone.  It has been covered up by what we have been told, what is, and is not possible. From this conditioning, we have created patterns of behavior that have literally buried our essence, our joy and our spirit.

We have assumed that there is something wrong with us and we have spent our lives attempting to put it right.  In fact, there is nothing wrong; all we need do is become aware, in each moment, of the behavioral patterns with which we have covered our essential self.  When we are present to each moment we are on the path to "the indescribable," to freedom.

Much of the time we feel uncomfortable and we try to escape from this experience.  We escape into our addictions, into alcohol, smoking, eating, anger, relationship conflicts, or complaining.  Working on ourselves can also be like a drug; it is what we do instead of being exactly who we are, feeling exactly what we feel.  We can encourage ourselves to be who we truly are, to feel whatever we are feeling.  There is no need to understand, nor to work on ourselves.  All that is needed is simply to be ourselves.

When we do this, layers that cover what is essential in us then drop away on their own.  Our system is self-healing if we allow it to be.

We have forgotten, or lost touch with knowing, that we are spirit contained in a body, mind, and emotions - - and not a body that possibly contains the essence of pure spirit.  This is the realization that awaits us as we bring ourselves present to each moment. Everyone is looking for the way home.  It is closer than we ever imagined.

A life of freedom begins when we realize deep within ourselves that we are whole and complete just as we are. There is nothing to do, to find, to see, to understand, to work on.  There is no right way to be.

Most people live on a surface level.  When you live this way it is like being on top of a rough ocean, getting tossed and churned around with the waves of life.  Peace and fulfillment come from living in the depths of ourselves, sensitively, with awareness, in each moment."
