GETTING INTO THE FLOW ... BRING IT ON !

This image shows how all of matter moves or flows. [ Spirit = Spin ] Our community will emerge similarly, since we are a part of the Universal Breath.

Changing Normal is organizing an interactive design community around a (w)holistic model. We have 22 categories called 'Domains' (plus 1 initiation team) that encompass all the issues that face the human experience ( Well, at least that's our goal : ) Explore these Community Domains and see where your interests and passions lie. We invite you to add and gather around issues that matter, with the intention to discover new ideas and perspectives that will fuel ecological, economic, and social innovation for effective global action and reform. This is what we like to call ‘changing normal’.

FLOW IS 'CURRENCY'
One of the outcomes ( or some might say 'the INcome' - $$$ ) will be a global mythology that sets the foundation for a unique language, along with an evolved currency system that represents the unveiling of who we are becoming as an ever-more conscious humanity. This collectively-created Global Mythology will naturally transform our way of life as a Planetary Society.

So bring it on ... and show us whatchya got! Sign up and play in the game we're building here.

I AM POSSIBLITY MADE MANIFEST

LET FANTASY BE YOUR GUIDE
Don't start with strategy. Rather allow fantasy and the impossible to be your guide. Let your mind soak up these images and see how you feel afterward. THIS is how to begin the making of a creative world culture!

Vibrations That 'Portal' You Into Creative Dimensions

-RILKE POEM-
You must give birth to your images.
They are the future waiting to be born.
Fear not the strangeness you feel.
The future must enter you
long before it happens.
Just wait for the birth,
For the hour of new clarity.
~Rainer Maria Rilke

+++++LEARN++++++++++JOIN++++++++++++++SHARE++++++++++++++++THRIVE+++++++++++++ Bookmark and ShareLocations of visitors to this page ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOME RAW THOUGHTS ON CHANGING NORMAL THROUGH COLLECTIVE WISDOM

YOU ARE HERE (see pic below) at ChangingNormal.com ... We are in a place of shared discovery; a place where Cultural Creatives are considering what the world can be like if we define it as a global Learning Community based on a multi-lens perspective of how we create our world. Through humanity's collective eye, we can see our own transition - a shifting perspective; a new global mythology. From a place with small villages of isolated peoples on a sphere we didn't know really existed, to an expanded awareness that our world was a 'flat' collection of separate nations, to our present understanding that we are an interconnected spherical planetary society existing within an intelligent fractal Universe. WHOA !! Nothing is normal anymore. Yet, it's all truly amazing isn't it? I mean when you really think about it? First is the fact that we are just plain alive on this planet (truly mind boggling). And second, is that we are experiencing a curious breakdown of the things that we've come to know as 'NORMAL'. While at the same time, we are generating something completely new and emergent. From within the dark crevices of this collapse, we find magical shimmering gems of regeneration and creation. This is what ChangingNormal.com is all about.

Kinda makes ya wonder what's next, doesn't it !? Well, as Monty Python once said, "... And now for something completely different." Fo it is here at this 'changing normal' pinnacle of time and space where we honor our world's great change-shifters. Yes, this community if for those of us who I like to call "Cultural Mis-Fits" - those who make up the searing hot edge of a shifting consciousness. Come play with us as we explore and discover deeper interconnected meanings of our language. Come mash up seemingly strange combination of words such as 'Sacred' and 'Technology', 'Holes' and 'Wholes', 'Chaos' and 'Order', 'Design' and 'Desire', to create new understandings. Watch new concepts and comprehensions emerge burst beyond the walls of what is known in our present schools, churches, and laboratories. Conceive beyond a place of expectations, judgments, and assumptions. Is this something that only exists in dreams?! Well then, it's time to make YOUR dreams a reality.

JOIN US WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Come make them manifest! Rekindle your inner flame of ecstasy through this unique collaborative process. Join those of us who are changing our view of what it means to be 'normal' as we move from a world of belief systems that no longer serve us, into a new Mythology that reveres each independent Soul while also uniting our collective Spirit.

Are you a holder of creating at this level of conscious power? Are you a inspirational soul, an innovative designer, a social entrepreneur, a juiced youth, or a wise elder, or something else totally amazing? Then, this community is for you. A WORD OF CAUTION! Be watchful of your sense of overload - Do NOT let it stop you from acting. Know that this community is less about individual work and more about collaborative play. That's how we all best learn; i.e. when we are having fun together.

JOIN US by signing up as a member. Then, scan the community domains at the left. Then, sign up for one or two domains at the left, just to see what happens.

As this community gets a bit larger and has more momentum, we'll notify you of activities as they emerge. You decide how involved you want to be. Just know that here, you can be in your power. Risk that you will experience a unique form of world-changing collaboration like you've never known before. Bet that 'Changing Normal' is exactly the NORMAL thing to be doing, right now.

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITHIN OUR "CHANGING NORMAL" DISCOVERY COMMUNITY ...

1- Getting Membership Momentum ...
Are you a Cultural Creative, myth-seeker, portal-traveler, a Cultural MisFit, or a designer of new worlds? Then journey with us through an organic DISCOVERY process that FUEL's the making of a new Global Mythology. | | | We welcome the following types of communities (or similar) to join in. Know of anyone to invite as members? - Bucky Fuller Institute (BFI), 02 Sustainable Designers, Noetic Science IONS (Shift Happens!), and other groups guided by similar principles and missions. Are you someone who belongs here? Join us now.
2- Initiating a Collaborative Learning Process ...
We are determining how to best use this Ning.com site as well as other community development tools. For now, check out the how-to-ning-it videos here how to ning video and how to ning videos resource list. Got any suggestiions?
3- Adding Online Group Collaboration Tools ...
Interaction audio, video, chat, whiteboard, polling, survey, and other tools will be built into each of the community domains and used to cross-pollinate participant inspirations, innovations, inventions, creativity, and friendship.
4- Working on Collaboration Mind Maps ...
Image-based mapping will be used to guide us through a collaborative process for designing, building, maintaining, and archiving the essence of this virtual community. Stay tuned for activities and related events.
5- Creating a Newsletter ...
Used to get everyone's feet wet with the concepts ... ssssslowly.
6- Producing an Interactive Webinar Series (and later, a Radio Show) ...
Called 'Changing Normal', this will consist of an amazing assortment of wisdom experts that will get all mixed up into a delicious soup of weekly dialog and interaction. The show will be used to seed a world-wide Changing Normal community-making network and creation process.
7- Join ChangingNormal's Oxygene Team ...
We have started a catalyst group to help move things forward. If you got juiced when reading some of the stuff on this site, I encourage you to consider joining this 'trigger' team. Every forest starts with just a few seeds.
Soooo stay 'tuned' - it gonna get HOT.


++++++++++++++++++++++++ IMPLEMENTING THE VISION ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When we hit 333 members, next steps will be taken to move our community forward another step. So, who do you know that will want to join us?

But this is only the beginning, since we have a 'hairy and audacious' community membership objective to link up 333,333,333 of us (I like three's :), which is less than 3% of our world's population of 8,000,000,000 (that's 8 billion) people on the planet around the year 2012. These 3% will be actively implementing ChangingNormal acticities based on the domains within 333,333 city charters, business, education, and NGO infrastructures by the end of year 2012.

I know, I know: How the hec are we gonna do that? Well let's start with the vision and see what emerges. Remember that this is a community collaborative effort. No 'one' of us can make it happen, so we all must learn how to collaborate beyond our present day understanding in order to make this work. A challenge? Yup. But, what a way to birth something new and exciting for each one of us on this planet, ehhhhy?! So, join us as we step into this unknown but incredibly fun effort.

Where "FUELING DISCOVERY" is what it's all about, and "NORMAL" isn't normal.

Welcome to our world-of-culture design community

We are a unique community of practice seeking adventurous ways to design and develop new forms of culture. Are you a creator of appropriate technologies that are consciously developed and can work for an interdependent planetary society? Well then, here is a place for you to build networks and teams with others that are interested in collaboratively building healthy communities and innovative organizations that are based in principles of sustainable design, organizational learning, and social entrepreneurship. By the way, who can tell me why technology is not a specific 'domain'? So, where does it get applied?

"Hey pal. This is a place for "OUT"-OF-THE-BOX creativity!"

NOW THEN ... Take a look at the Domains of Innovation used for Creating Sustainable Learning Communities. They're over there <-- to the left, just below "Abby Normal" (as in 'not normal' or 'a change in what's normal'). These domains can be viewed as portals into new realms of living and experiencing. Each domain is linked to a wiki so that domain members can begin to plot a course together. .... Use photos, language, music, etc. to describe what you think each domain is about to become in terms of new structures, processes, and behavioral patterns. Determine which domains you have interest in evolving and START A DISCUSSION SUBJECT within those domain groups! You will find meta-knowledge frameworks used for gathering, creating, and innovating that can be of help with conceiving.

Also, there is a crucial step to get out of our own boxes of belief and ways thinking. The inspirations of folks on TED.com videos do a great job of helping us to re-view our assumptions and beliefs. The below pic is to my point - ya gotta do this one to help you realize how much our filters impact what we see, what we think ... what we believe. It exemplifies how much our perception colors our story of ourselves and our reality. I still don’t believe that I believe what I’m seeing here :/

Which square is darker - A or B? Click here for answer.
So, go ahead and add videos that warp (or unwarp?) our thinking, like the idea above. Or add to the BLOG to help develop your own dialogue around this kind of culture-changing work. Or, consider a forum for opening discussions and conversations. For it is through dialogue that the world begins to -consciously- gather insight in ways that expand what we know into the infinitely knowable. This, by the way, is what we all feel as 'play'. Your engagement in this playful work is how others will become inspired to do the same, and how we will collectively begin to gather the Creative powers of change that mystify, generate awe, colorfully inspires, and ultimately transforms our world.

I welcome your insights and adaptations that will bring this "changing normal" community into a highly collaborative, (w)holistic, and fun process. I'm Vic Desotelle and I'll be your host. Contact me at ChangingNormal@DiscoveryFuel.com. Join us and begin to DISCOVER worlds without 'normal' boundaries and expectations. Become an empowered citizen of this world (and the Universe for that matter). Learn to create from that infinite place of possibility.

Orrrr ... Donating even just $3.33 will help keep this adventure going. Only three dollars and thirty three cents (3 is a magic number for me : ) A few green-backs (3 1/3 to be exact) start to add up. So your donation will actually go a longggg way in helping to 'change normal' : )


HELP KEEP THIS ADVENTURE GOING. Consider donating between $3.33 or $33.33 to help make it so. Email me, Vic Desotelle, if you have any questions.
