    What Now?

     

     

    A Possibilitator requires an accurate assessment of current reality... no matter your Specialty, Bright Principles or Archetypal Lineage...

     

    This assessment you hold together inside of yourself with a clear vision of what is possible for next culture... Archiarchy...

     

    Sooner or later you will start Noticing a tension near your solar plexus.

     

    It can become quite painful, because what you are angry, or sad, or scared, or glad about, is what you care about.

     

    This tension answers your question "What now?" because it personally inspires you to gather people into a Team, help each other take back your personal Authority, and then take effective actions together that step-by-step Transform reality into something more like your vision.

     

    "You cannot change what you cannot face."

  • 5 Stages of Awareness

    by Paul Chefurka

     

    When it comes to unfolding our understanding of the wide range of global crisis, each of us seems to fit somewhere along a continuum of awareness that can be roughly divided into five stages:

    1

    DEAD ASLEEP

    At this stage there seem to be no fundamental problems, just some shortcomings in human organization, behaviour and morality that can be fixed with the proper attention to rule-making. People at this stage tend to live their lives happily, with occasional outbursts of annoyance around election times or the quarterly corporate earnings seasons.

    2

    AWARENESS OF ONE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM

    Whether it’s Climate Change, overpopulation, Peak Oil, chemical pollution, oceanic over-fishing, biodiversity loss, corporatism, economic instability or sociopolitical injustice, one problem seems to engage the attention completely. People at this stage tend to become ardent activists for their chosen cause. They tend to be very vocal about their personal issue, and blind to any others.

    3

    AWARENESS OF MANY PROBLEMS

    As people let in more evidence from different domains, the awareness of complexity begins to grow. At this point a person worries about the prioritization of problems in terms of their immediacy and degree of impact. People at this stage may become reluctant to acknowledge new problems – for example, someone who is committed to fighting for social justice and against climate change may not recognize the problem of resource depletion. They may feel that the problem space is already complex enough, and the addition of any new concerns will only dilute the effort that needs to be focused on solving the “highest priority” problem.

    4

    AWARENESS OF THE INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE MANY PROBLEMS

    The realization that a solution in one domain may worsen a problem in another marks the beginning of large-scale system-level thinking. It also marks the transition from thinking of the situation in terms of a set of problems to thinking of it in terms of a predicament. At this point the possibility that there may not be a solution begins to raise its head. People who arrive at this stage tend to withdraw into tight circles of like-minded individuals in order to trade insights and deepen their understanding of what’s going on. These circles are necessarily small, both because personal dialogue is essential for this depth of exploration, and because there just aren’t very many people who have arrived at this level of understanding.

    5

    AWARENESS THAT THE PREDICAMENT ENCOMPASSES ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE

    This includes everything we do, how we do it, our relationships with each other, as well as our treatment of the rest of the biosphere and the physical planet. With this realization, the floodgates open, and no problem is exempt from consideration or acceptance. The very concept of a 'Solution' is seen through, and cast aside as a waste of effort.

  • ...5 Stages Continued

    For those who arrive at Stage 5 there is a real risk that depression will set in. After all, we’ve learned throughout our lives that our hope for tomorrow lies in our ability to solve problems today. When no amount of human cleverness appears able to solve our predicament the possibility of hope can vanish like a the light of a candle flame, to be replaced by the suffocating darkness of despair.

     

    How people cope with despair is of course deeply personal, but it seems to me there are two general routes people take to reconcile themselves with the situation. These are not mutually exclusive, and most of us will operate out of some mix of the two. I identify them here as general tendencies, because people seem to be drawn more to one or the other. I call them the outer path and the inner path.

     

    If one is inclined to choose the outer path, concerns about adaptation and local resilience move into the foreground, as exemplified by the Transition Network and Permaculture Movement. To those on the outer path, community-building and local sustainability initiatives will have great appeal. Organized party politics seems to be less attractive to people at this stage, however. Perhaps politics is seen as part of the problem, or perhaps it’s just seen as a waste of effort when the real action will take place at the local level.

     

    If one is disinclined to choose the outer path either because of temperament or circumstance, the inner path offers its own set of attractions.

     

    Choosing the inner path involves re-framing the whole thing in terms of consciousness, self-awareness and/or some form of transcendent perception. For someone on this path it is seen as an attempt to manifest Gandhi’s message, “Become the change you wish to see in the world,” on the most profoundly personal level. This message is similarly expressed in the ancient Hermetic saying, “As above, so below.” Or in plain language, “In order to heal the world, first begin by healing yourself.”

     

    However, the inner path does not imply a “retreat into religion”. Most of the people I’ve met who have chosen an inner path have as little use for traditional religion as their counterparts on the outer path have for traditional politics. Organized religion is usually seen as part of the predicament rather than a valid response to it. Those who have arrived at this point have no interest in hiding from or easing the painful truth, rather they wish to create a coherent personal context for it. Personal spirituality of one sort or another often works for this, but organized religion rarely does.

     

    It’s worth mentioning that there is also the possibility of a serious personal difficulty at this point. If someone cannot choose an outer path for whatever reasons, and is also resistant to the idea of inner growth or spirituality as a response the the crisis of an entire planet, then they are truly in a bind. There are few other doorways out of this depth of despair. If one remains stuck here for an extended period of time, life can begin to seem awfully bleak, and violence against either the world or oneself may begin to seem like a reasonable option. Please keep a watchful eye on your own progress, and if you encounter someone else who may be in this state, please offer them a supportive ear.

     

    From my observations, each successive stage contains roughly a tenth of the number people as the one before it. So while perhaps 90% of humanity is in Stage 1, less than one person in ten thousand will be at Stage 5 (and none of them are likely to be politicians). The number of those who have chosen the inner path in Stage 5 also seems to be an order of magnitude smaller than the number who are on the outer path.

     

    I happen to have chosen an inner path as my response to a Stage 5 awareness. It works well for me, but navigating this imminent (transition, shift, metamorphosis – call it what you will), will require all of us – no matter what our chosen paths – to cooperate on making wise decisions in difficult times.

     

    Best wishes for a long, exciting and fulfilling journey.

  • PART 1: Current Reality?

    We strongly recommend to read every article & website and watch every video in What Now.

    Each and everyone of them build the matrix in you to take your next steps accurately.

    The books referenced are equally important.

     

    We have submitted ourselves.
     

    Derrick Jensen, from Living Resilience, says: "THE MOST COMMON WORDS I hear spoken by any environmentalists anywhere are, We’re fucked. Most of these environmentalists are fighting desperately, using whatever tools they have — or rather whatever legal tools they have, which means whatever tools those in power grant them the right to use, which means whatever tools will be ultimately ineffective — to try to protect some piece of ground, to try to stop the manufacture or release of poisons, to try to stop civilized humans from tormenting some group of plants or animals. Sometimes they’re reduced to trying to protect just one tree."

    Read the article Beyond Hope at Orion Magazine.

     

    Clinton Callahan in Will Any Humans Become Post-Carbon? warns:

    "If coordinated international actions are not immediately implemented to end fossil fuel burning, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and sequester present atmospheric carbon and methane, new evidence suggests that even if we could create a post-carbon society, there won’t be humans alive to live in it."

     

    The consensus findings among authoritative scientific institutions (NASA, NOAA, NSIDC, Hadley-Met, Tyndale, Potsdam, CSIRO, BOM, the world’s academies of science, IPCC and so on) indicate beyond reasonable doubt that continuing open-ended emissions of greenhouse gases incontestably leads to the demise of humans as well as most of life on Earth in a frighteningly near term (by ~2050).

     

    Therefore, any governing body that tolerates or promotes further greenhouse gas emissions through burning fossil fuels or burning forests or fracking, etc., contravenes international laws, violates human and animal rights and national sovereignty, and commits a monstrous crime against humanity and nature. (Reference: private communication of a work in progress by Andrew Glikson, The Legal Dimension Of Overwhelming The Atmosphere With CO2 http://cci.anu.edu.au/researchers/view/andrew_glikson).

     

    If the United Nations will do no more than offer mild suggestions to member states, and continues to refrain from enforcing stringent restrictions, then humanity is wasting its time trying to reverse climate change under the auspices of the United Nations. The UN should be immediately disbanded and an action-oriented global survival agency should be activated, more appropriately named United Peoples."

    Paul Chefurka

    http://paulchefurka.ca/ - read the entire website, every word of every damn article Paul wrote. It helps to gain a clear picture of what now.

    Population growth, climate change, global corporatism, chemical pollution, resource depletion, species extinctions, ocean overfishing and acidification, global financial instability, mounting social disparities and injustices are all merely symptoms of a system that has been out of control for centuries (despite our earnest attempts to convince ourselves otherwise.) We have no choice left - or perhaps we never really had any other choice - but to ride the dragon until the human overshoot corrects itself, as overshoots always do.

     

    The silver lining I see is that all the pressures coming from this process of correction can be useful goads toward personal self-development. "In all matters, strive to do the right thing." What does this mean to each of us? What does mindful living in the midst of the whirlwind entail? What does it require of us in terms of personal growth, in the development of wisdom and self-awareness? How might each of us resolve our alienation - from each other, from our societies, from nature, from our own place in the universe? How may we find the re-connections that are essential if we are to emerge from this tumultuous, careless human adolescence into individual and collective adulthood? These are deep questions for dark times.

     

    I no longer see any point in singling out individual aspects of the human experience for special attention or criticism. This website documents the evolution of my point of view on the largely unrecognized, widely misunderstood and potentially tragic predicament facing humanity as a result of our refusal to accept limits on our activities or aspirations.

    The science is clear: Homo sapiens teeters on the brink of extinction. Industrial civilization is an omnicidal heat engine, yet terminating civilization heats the planet even faster in an outcome termed the McPherson Paradox. Only Love Remains: Dancing on the Edge of Extinction describes a way forward in light of our terminal diagnosis. In this book, professor emeritus of conservation biology Guy McPherson describes how we can proceed with urgency in the face of habitat loss for our species. While describing the evidence underlying human extinction within a few years, McPherson also provides an urgent and reasoned response to this prognosis.

    In this paper, we use the concepts of traps and evolvability to seek further integration between evolution and social–ecological systems
    research. We first adapt the classic concept of evolutionary traps to a
    human and larger-scale Anthropocene context. We then present results
    from a participatory mapping and analysis of Anthropocene traps,
    including an assessment of their interactions, progression and severity.
    We end by exploring how the integration of the concept of evolvability
    with those of social–ecological resilience could help broaden and
    consolidate a research agenda on capacities needed to move out of
    trapped Anthropocene trajectories towards global sustainability.

    Facing Extinction a podcast by Catherine Ingram

    https://s3.amazonaws.com/inthedeepodcast/FacingExtinctionAudio.mp3

    Can professionals in sustainability management, policy and research – myself included - continue to work with the assumption or hope that we can slow down climate change, or respond to it sufficiently to sustain our civilisation? As disturbing information on climate change passed across my screen, this was the question I could no longer ignore, and therefore decided to take a couple of months to analyse the latest climate science. As I began to conclude that we can no longer work with that assumption or hope, I asked a second question. Have professionals in the sustainability field discussed the possibility that it is too late to avert an environmental catastrophe and the implications for their work? A quick literature review revealed that my fellow professionals have not been publishing work that explores, or starts from, that perspective. That led to a third question, on why sustainability professionals are not exploring this fundamentally important issue to our whole field as well as our personal lives. To explore that, I drew on psychological analyses, conversations with colleagues, reviews of debates amongst environmentalists in social media and selfreflection on my own reticence. Concluding that there is a need to promote discussion about the implications of a social collapse triggered by an environmental catastrophe, I asked my fourth question on what are the ways that people are talking about collapse on social media. I identified a variety of conceptualisations and from that asked myself what could provide a map for people to navigate this extremely difficult issue. For that, I drew on a range of reading and experiences over my 25 years in the sustainability field to outline an agenda for what I have termed “deep adaptation” to climate change.

    We are living in times of global collapse of Earth and Human systems. Humanity, particularly those of privilege, wealth and power, is still reluctant to be fully aware of this collapse, much less to be responsible for it. The calling of our times is to reconnect with the sources of meaning and belonging in human life – sources and sensitivities we have all forfeited in order to participate in and benefit from, our Business as Usual Human Operating System. The immense costs of our collective disconnection from the web of life and the sources of meaning in life: Deeper Self, Other Beings and Earth herself, have become painfully obvious in every aspect of life on Earth. We are an adolescent culture that appears to have invited in shadow, trauma and addiction where humans once carried our birthright sense of interbeing with the miraculous Web of Life.

    Thriving In A Collapsed Ecosystem

    For our western mind, the most common answer to a threat on our ability to have access to food, water and shelter is .... "let's pack up as much food, water, and money that we can".

    How much food and water can you store for the years- decades - to come?

    When economic system go down, money (USD, Euros and Rupies), will become as useful as cowry shell are today. You might want to put them in a frame in memory of 'the good old days' but it won't show more use than any art piece on your wall when it comes to surviving - maybe thrive! - in a collapsed ecosystem.

    And this is if you still have a wall to frame it on... billions of people will be immigrants and not just the poorer countries, the Sahara is already knocking on the door or Southern Spain, Italy and Greece.

     

    What do we need to thrive in a post-carbon/post-methane world? Three things:

     

    1. Community.

    Community with its own sovereign authority, currency, context and rules of engagement.

    Gameworlds

     

    2. Inner tools and Outer tools

    Inner tools (or soft skills) for communication, evolution and initiations, and building gameworlds.

    Outer tools (or hard skills) for healing Technopenuriaphobia, Whole Permaculture, Upgraded Thoughtware, and Torus Meeting Technologies.

     

    3. The Expansion of Consciousness.

    The expansion of consciousness in emerging gameworlds contexted in adult-or-higher level of responsibility centered on authentic adulthood and archetypal initiatory processes.

     

    Have you built you community yet?

    How far are you in establishing inner and outer tools as the context of your community?

    How far are you expanding your consciousness to emerge next culture after the collapse of patriarchy?

     

    How does it go? you might ask.

    The Universe notices your commitment to serve a conscious gameworld. Going through the first door might be the most difficult one to cross, if you keep paying attention, the Universe will keep opening doors for you. Your job is to keep being a practical-action, move-things-forward, staying-connected, High-Level-Fun, "Yes."

     

    Caution! This does not include being naive. Saying, "Yes" means being a responsible adult as you go through the next universal door. You can only say "Yes" responsibly if you can first say "No" and "Stop" responsibly.

     

    2. Create your own community of practice (CoP): create your own home-made Possibility Team. Your Possibility Team - or however you want to call it - is your community. The simple act of meeting every week and experimenting on what is possible makes you a bridge builder to next culture gameworlds.

     

    3. Be part of the system of influences:

    Pioneering efforts that hovered at the periphery suddenly become the norm. The practices developed by courageous communities become the accepted standard. People no longer hesitate about adopting these approaches and methods and they learn them easily. Policy and funding debates now include the perspectives and experiences of these pioneers. They become leaders in the field and are acknowledged as the wisdom keepers for their particular issue.

    "The United Nations will either convert scientifically founded imperatives into immediate and enforceable actions, or become guilty by complicity of ending human civilization on Earth. Those individuals, special interests and organizations spouting adolescent non-negotiable stances need to be sent to their room without dinner by a United Peoples authority with more 'guns' than the teenagers have."

Prepare people to depart from their previous lives and gameworlds and create Phase 3 human cultures - from matriarchy to patriarchy to Archiarchy! We don't know how the next thing goes, but we do know how what we're doing now can't keep going.

    “Hundreds of my readers have told me that my novel Ishmael should be read in every high school classroom in the world. Naturally I’d be delighted to see this happen, but I really think it would be more to the point to have What a Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire seen in every high school classroom in the world! The two hours of this documentary are two hours that bring hope for the future of humanity by awakening and informing in the most profound yet lucid way imaginable.”

  • NOTE: This website is a Bubble in the Bubble Map of the free-to-play, massively-multiplayer, online-and-offline, thoughtware-upgrade, matrix-building, personal-transformation, adventure-game called StartOver.xyz. It is a doorway to experiments that upgrade your thoughtware so you can relocate your point of origin and create more possibility. Your knowledge is what you think about. Your thoughtware is what you use to think with. When you change your thoughtware, you go through a liquid state as your mind reorganizes itself. Liquid states can bring up transformational feelings and emotions. By upgrading your thoughtware you build matrix to hold more consciousness and leave behind a low drama life of reactivity. No one can upgrade your thoughtware for you. More interestingly, no one can stop you from upgrading your thoughtware. Our theory is that when we collectively build 1,000,000 new Matrix Points we will change the morphogenetic field of the human race for the better. Please choose responsibly to read this website. Reading this whole website is worth 1 Matrix Point. Doing any of the experiments earns you additional Matrix Points. Please use Matrix Code WHATNOWx.00 to log your Matrix Point for reading this website on StartOver.xyz. Thank you for playing full out!
