Peace to Integral City-zens  and Friends of Integral City 
 
"[I am] a theatre of selves, a troupe of actors playing different roles according the scene and script for the day.  Houston, J., Jump Time, Jeremy P. Tarcher/Putnam, 2000  Click on Integral City Sparkies for a new quote every day www.integralcity.com .
 
Thursday, September 21, 2006 is a day to celebrate World Peace ... here are 3 ways to play roles that contribute peace and emergence to the world.
 
1. Develop your consciousness at  Toronto Spiral Dynamics integral training
 Oct. 20-23 , 2006 ...   find details and registration here:  http://www.integralcity.com/DiscoveryZone/Training/SDiL%20Value%20to%20Grads.html 
  • We are offering lots of extras at this training:  Special Spiral Dynamics integral Big Mind Meditation; Universarium; PostTeleconference Follow-up  
2. For some time I have believed that a great potential lies in the relationships between the Baby Boomers who are grandparents and their grandchildren. I found out how that vision is starting to take form, when I attended the World Wisdom Alliance (WWA) in Toronto in July.  WWA is following the lead of systems philosopher and author Ervin Laszlo who has described "Evolved Consciousness" in his book "The Chaos Point".  One of his benchmarks of evolved consciousness is to " Encourage young people ... to evolve the spirit that could empower them to make ethical decisions on issues that decide their future ..." .
 
Shortly after, WWA , Jerry Barney, (Dr. Gerald O. Barney, Chair, Our Task, Inc.) brought to our attention the inspiring project of Our Task (OT) , "which is establishing a mutually enhancing relationship between humans and Earth, by developing an international network of the the world's young people.  OT is helping them (1) to formulate a substantive vision of the Earth they would like to inherit from their parents and grandparents and (2) to engage in constructive intergenerational dialog with those formulating the sustainable development strategies published by our major culture-shaping institutions: religion, government, corporations, international organizations, media, science, education, and civil society.  See http://www.OurTask.org for details. 
 
This summer the OT released the first fully-text version of the Youth Earth Vision: see: http://www.ourtask.org/youth_earth_vision.asp.  Please read the Vision and discuss it with friends and colleagues.  Also tell thoughtful young people you know about the OT work and encourage them to get involved.  ... 
 
If a group you are associated with would like to host a presentation of the Youth Earth Vision by members of the Earth Vision Team or to post a link to the OT web site (www.OurTask.org), please let them  know.  OT especially appreciates  opportunities to present their work at conferences and web links to the OT site. "  
 
3. We are discovering in both experience and science, that families, organizations, communities, and cities, create fields of energy.  We are becoming more aware that we can be intentional about contributing positive revitalizing energy to those fields. Meet Integral City Advisor Morel Fourman , founder of Gaiasoft http://www.gaiasoft.com  and inventor of the Peace Pulse. Morel invites us to test out the free online hourly Peace Pulse.
  •  Morel has created a simple way of reminding people that each hour they can take a brief rest and stop their busy minds for just-a-minute. It is a free downloadable programme that just sits on your computer and will provide a gentle Tibetan chime on each hour and then again a minute later. Many folks who have done this have said how refreshed they feel by building these quiet moments into their daily routine, whenever they reasonably can - and this Peace Pulse is an excellent reminder. This hourly reminder provides a simple opportunity for alignment to potentially millions of people across different spiritual, religious and business communities. PLEASE do join us and be part of the testing of this new software.  
 ...integral peace and blessings ...
