Message to new members

Sunny beat me to the first post. You go, girl! I guess it's my turn now.
Welcome to this discussion group. It's called the New World Network because of a vision I had many years ago involving the activation and connection of many small groups or communities into a large "network of light" that spans the globe. Since then that vision has been expanded and expounded upon, some of which I'll share below.
Many are beginning to realize they have something to contribute to a better world, in fact, a New World modeled after the Golden Age that's been promised for so long. This group is intended for them as a way to connect and begin interacting.
The model is simple. Form local communities of awakening souls coming together for mutual support and to explore their common visions. Connect those communities through a central hub to facilitate communication and cooperative interaction. Individuals then can connect with other individuals of similar focus and form working groups to explore what they can create together.
The means of interaction is important. There is a process of conscious co-creation that is to be practiced, training in which I will provide. Stories of your efforts at co-creation are to be collected and sent to the hub, then published and sold to help support its operating costs. In short, we'll be laying breadcrumbs so that others can follow and build upon our efforts.
As we go along, various councils will form. They will coordinate efforts between the working groups they represent and their respective galactic counterparts. By that time we will have identified, and perhaps started training, suitable channels to facilitate these conversations.
The step at hand is to coalesce into local communities of whatever size you feel appropriate. There can be as many groups (communities) as want to form in any particular geographic area, though as we grow me might have to look at how they all interact together.
We're going to have a lot of kinks to work out as we go along. And I know we'll get into a lot of topical discussions, like cities of light, and such.
But remember, this new age is about coming together and working as one, taking our place within the whole. So our focus will be on community first and last, and how people can better get along.
Don't expect me to have all the answers. That's something we'll have to develop together. I'm just here to get things started and to help make sure we're not carrying forward the hidden factors behind the problems we're trying to solve.
By the way, I had planned on this big speech about our members being both mainstream and metaphysical, and writing in terms that all would be able to relate to.
I guess I blew that one. I'll try harder next time.
Feel free to invite your friends. They can sign up at Google groups, peaceoptions.com or whisperzone.org. There may even be a way to do so by email, but I haven't figured that out yet.
So without further adieu, I will turn the discussion over to you. Your thoughts? Your comments?
And to those who come along later, this topic remains open. We hope to hear from you, too.

| Well, now, how does one exactly respond to such a tall order. I am grateful and humbled to be included. No one of us has the answers and each of us owns a piece of the puzzle. I am still working on and discovering my gifts and do not yet know what how my role will play out. I will do as I am so guided.

I'm not sure any of us know how our roles will play out. All we can do is follow those whispers inside, and trust we'll end up getting the experiences we need and put our respective gifts to best use.
I hope the overview doesn't overwhelm anyone. Looking at the whole thing can be daunting, but I planted the see in hopes it would begin germinating in the back of your minds..
Don't be concerned about community, much less the hub and council part. Those will take care of themselves. And as for galactic counterparts, , we'll just have to explore together whether there is such life and how it relates to the world ahead.
My advice? Take it slow. Look at what these possibilities set off inside you. Consider each of their implications, and how they relate to what you know about yourself and your world.
Share what you discover. It may help someone else with what is going on inside them.
And that, my friend, is very nice way to come together.

I'm germinating from my heart these days, much as I honor my appropriately satellited Mind of God. It's the heart that commands infinity and that's the terrain from which I'm quarrying. But releasing it fully, as all mystics can attest, is quite another matter.
I like your mosaic metaphore, Paige. As I've perhaps shared with others, the redwoods are standing in circle to show us how to remain deeply rooted in the Holy Earth while reaching heavenward and being a member of community.
What I am being called to do is to step out as a healer and to continue restoring myself into full alignment. I've begun sharing my gifts in a more open way from a local Pacifica acupuncture office (aka. "storefront") a few blocks from the ocean.
At the moment I am networking with other regionally-based healers and sharing the Tibetan and other healing codes that continue being activated in my hands and throughout my physical and subtle body system on behalf of all beings, not least of which including the planet. I know that there is no substitute for reclaiming this I AM on behalf of the planet and that requires looking at, learning from, and then jettisoning what no longer serves the illusory me. That is what I am doing these days. Taking the next step and the journey of the next breath.
I also continue experiending severe contractions--birthing pangs, really--from what I'd hypothesize is our planet's decision to ascend. I've come to believe that we'll each be given the choice of remaining in 3-D or eventually stepping into what may well be a 5-D world? How those interdimensionsal shifts land in the body can be daunting (for one vivid account of interdimensional shifting, read Machaelle Small Wright's Dancing in the Shadows of the Moon).
For example, Wednesday evening was one of those sleepless nights for me where I was up and down all night long and no position was comfortable. At bed time, which was a breathlessly early 8:45 PM, I felt unable to focus at all and my entire physical and subtle body system felt like thick molasses. Checking around, I observed that a number of us had very rough evenings that particular night.
So I feel obliged to take things moment by moment, jettisoning my preoccupation with pasts and futures for an unfolding NOW. I feel as though I'm being coached to step into BEING and to remaining profoundly present. How novel. The power of Now-ness as newness.
I was wondering, John, how this unfolding sense of being dovetails with your current understanding of a co-created world? What is it you understand by co-creation? I have strong hints of this process as I work with the Devas, the Apus (spirits of sacred places), Pan, and so forth, but what are the process implications for rebuilding authentic human community?
We call ourselves human beings yet we remain locked down in a culture that is preoccupied with human doings. One off-planetary culture I've come to deeply respect drops the "human" from being to characterize themselves. They are simply "Beings." Awash in energy, being and consciousness as we remain, what would it feel like to view all life as vividly present, conscious, and inextricably bound up with the Sacred? That's how I already view it but awakening others to these vividly cascading gifts seems daunting. We must each start with ourselves.
Perhaps that's why we've all been invited into sacred circle; conversation, to subsequently perform regional ceremonies on behalf of the whole while fully restoring each of our respective pieces of the mosaic? Given my experience, one thing is clear: without honoring my body temple, getting from here to the fifth dimension or beyond will remain an impolite fiction.
I hope that these ramblings are suggestive and useful,
Blessings, Love and Divine Harmonious Light,
Michael

Suggestive, yes. That there is so much I not only don't know, but am not even aware of.
For instance, what are these Tibetan codes, what is their significance, and how are you conveying them to others?
And as far as "reclaiming this I AM on behalf of the planet," what do you mean? What exactly are you experiencing? And besides having an altruistic intention, are you feeling guided to act as a conduit or in some sort of assistance role? Is it like when Kuthumi invited people to participate in certain group meditations at the time of that cosmic alignment a few years back?
My questions are not just from naivete, but to make it easier for some of the others to relate to what you were speaking about, particularly those with no metaphysical leanings.
Now, to address your question on community and co-creation.
Community has been part of our world since the beginning. However, community has been used as a way of banding together with "people like us," joined by common self-interest. For the most part, larger group (sic, national) interest was only a factor when facing a common threat or recovering from one, much like we see today in the aftermath of natural disaster or war.
The result was an us vs. them mentality, isolated within the walls of community because we couldn't figure out how to work together with those we didn't recognize any common bond with.
However, the energies leading up to Ascension are causing all of those areas of disharmony to be exacerbated. We're being forced to look at the areas of our lives that are working, either with others or within us, and decide whether they serve us and if not, what we'll do about it. Thus so many people are having such a hard time as their reality is "breaking up," which is really a way of saying that what use to be or work a certain way not longer can.
The result is we all have to find new ways to relate to what is and to each other, and especially how we relate to life.
These energies also offer us the chance to consider other possibilities for community. And perhaps the most important of these is how we learn to come together and interact with those who don't share an affinity or common bond of shared self-interest.
The process of creating the New World will require us to re-evaluate our relationship to the extremes in our reality. By extremes I'm talking about the opposing sides on just about every issue, as well as those that exist within us (e.g., good-bad).
These dueling pairs of opposites are inherent in duality. Our evolution within this world has been a process of learning to balance the two and getting them to work together while discovering ourselves along the way.
The 5D world is one that supposedly will not have duality. Instead, it will have exactly what we want, with none of this dilly-dallying around finding our way through the 3D world where we bounce like pinballs between these extremes (and then wonder why so little is constant in our lives).
Setting aside 3D/5D concepts, the opportunity offered by community now is to find a way to INTEGRATE these extremes within us, within our communities, and between the other communities in our world. In other words, the challenge before us is to dissolve the illusion that we are one extreme or another, and instead to become whole.
We all co-create our lives now, at the very least contributing to each other's understanding and quality of life. In short, together we are creating a common reality, regardless to whatever extent we are aware of our contribution or influence over that process.
Within the concept of the New World, as individuals break off into groups within or across communities, rather than doing so blindly without conscious regard for the impact of their actions upon their common reality, they will undertake cooperative effort with the express intention of creating a common reality that will bring the experiences they desire, not only for each other, but for the whole of which they are a part.
It will take a tremendous shift in awareness and perspective, but it is attainable.
In short, it isn't about creating a world of peace, or stopping environmental pollution. It is about embracing the many different and now-competing views on war and use of resources, and finding a way to work together to create the experiences desired by all (survival, security, prosperity, natural beauty and bounty, etc.)
Now, people fight for so many reasons. And they do things that aren't serving our environment very well, too. The task before us is to weave our way through that minefield, address the things that make people do what they do, and then find and create whatever common vision we can attain.
As human beings we have not done very well managing our own efforts to move through this world, much less our points of intersection with others. If we are to become galactic beings, it is time we start.
I hope I answered that question sufficiently. Thanks for asking it.
