The Empathic Civilization

Is it possible for us to manifest a better world? One filled with more peace, well being, and harmony? Yes, I believe we can. We just have to remind each other – often.

The Gift: Remembering Our Humanity in the Making of Something New

Have you ever noticed how video ratings get very close but rarely hit “5” as an average? Well, these 3 videos hit that big ‘5’ rating, with the first two presently around a million views, and the third ‘hugs’ video having over 57 million. Why do these videos have such huge ratings and viewings? I propose an answer:

We have entered a new era of 'once upon a time' where the appearance of mythical dragons signal the emergence of a conscious global culture.

It is essential that the world collaboratively discover our collective global mythology. Only through this act can sustainable forms of innovation be created that can build a planet of whole, diverse communities that are united in the dance of an emerging conscious global culture.

Hey Vic,

Thanks for the invitation to debate. I've been up to my neck in alligators here at the farm. In the Spring--all hell breaks loose. 250 acres, hay fields, large garden, 16 Morgan thorougbreds and 5 dogs, building the city of light, and all that stuff.

Anyway my priority after getting all the fiddleneck out of the pastures (toxic to horses) and caring for the criters, is preparing for ascention. Don't want to miss the ride, especially since the last opportunity was 210.216 years ago as of 2000, when the current SAC (stellar activation cycle) started.

Call me, we'll chat if I'm on line. Skype mdajobs (541.255.3715)

Wed Thurs are probably best.

Where in CA? I'm traveling in CA until the 28th. Now in Humboldt.

I've added you on Skype, waiting for your approval (Skype sometimes doesn't tell you). My id is chriswaterguy.

Thanks Vic,

Sounds great! Looking forward to chatting.

I'll wait before making a request - I think it will carry more weight if we come in together with the request, and show that we're already working seriously on this as a collaboration.

Hey Vic,

I thought I answered this ages ago (maybe I started to answer and my machine crashed - that was happening a lot):

"Does your sustainable technology wiki deal with the emergence of new products coming online? If yes, would you promote here? If not, let's start something."

At the moment we don't but that's always been part of our hope, that the community would write up and assess products in this way. I like the attempt I made to start some analysis on hybrid vehicles, but it needs a lot of filling out, and much more specific pages, on individual products and services.

What do you think?

Thanks for the shoutout about Appropedia for appropriate technology. Only just saw it there!

Watched you videos. Maybe you did this intentionally, but "changing" is spelled "chaning "in the first graphic on the first video. Perhaps this is a way to see if people are watching this video. OK, I did. Might be easier to e-mail directly to enchantedkinship@yahoo.com

I run another ning community and I am impressed with how much work you have put into building this community. Thank you. You must stay up all night creating. Lets get a critical mass moving. I don't have a lot of time and I found the questions in the profile did not allow for much individuality, so it is hard to determine how to find people in similar fields. Aren't we all interested in it all? Is there a way to find out more what people are working on and where? My other network, which I do not manage as it is more self directed has people meeting up all over and doing things together. Is there a way this group could get more involved and help others with their projects ?

Dear Changing Normal Members,My work here at ChangingNormal.com may be coming to an end, as I must move on. Onto what I'm not sure, but I guess change is inevitable; something that we all must do or die. For me, ChangingNormal.com is a symbolic token that holds a place for the emergence of humanity's future. A place for quantum change from what we presently know as 'normal'.

The Awakening (Author unknown)

A time comes in your life when you finally get…when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out…ENOUGH1 Enough fighting and crying and blaming and struggling to hold on. Then, like a child quieting down after a tantrum, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.



This is your… Continue

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.
