compassion, collaboration & cooperation iN transistion
Bravo!
It appears to me that you have attracted a significant number of people, who are - in Douglas Harding's words - already awake to, or awakening to the first person singular present tense which is the LOVE that makes the world go round and leaves no-one whatever out - all travelling the way - and willing to communicate and collaborate with each-other - regardless of race, religion, politics or culture.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, IT IS the only thing that ever has."
That quotation of Margaret Mead - the distinguished American anthropologist, intellectual and scientist -obviously sets the scene for your initiative but it is very clear that you have already sown "the seed" which will establish a mechanism by which the ‘few' can become the ‘many'.
There is absolutely no reason why you should not further establish a large enough core of "those that understand - because no explanation is necessary" - who, through example, will be able to & perhaps finally convince "those that don't understand - for whom hitherto no explanation would suffice" - such that they to would join the ranks of those that understand and in so doing -
significantly change the world.
NEVER FORGETTING as Muriel Rukeyser so succinctly proposed...
"The Universe is made of STORIES, not of ATOMS"
THERE ARE ONLY TWO RULES -
the journey begins & the journey continues
as Escher so marvellously depicted with his
ANTS traversing a MOBIUS shaped ladder.

A New Gaia
Seeds sown, sometimes wind-blown, cyber-space is fertile groundto plant seeds, create growth, make friends, exchange, express,
explain, experiment, “meet” folks, break old rules and break new
ground, transformation, information, sharing and caring, developing,
growing, flowering, budding, buddying, tending, gardening,
discussing and discovering, and so much more, celebrating, asking
& answering in a word • ALLNESS • and every now and then a little
Off-the-wall-ness, Seeding and seeing, beading and being, sharing
and caring, A wealth of giving and living, when necessary forgiving,
nature and nurture • ART and HEART • in word and IN DEED •
A NEW GAIA tends to surprise, to be wise, to emphasise, empathy
as well as passion and compassion, planning and plotting, doing
and making, Enjoying and inspiring, fine-tuning and ideals and
respect and care and beauty and bravery • ALLNESS • unity and
community in harmony • ALL IN UNICITY •

"EVOLUTIONARY is a play on the word "REVOLUTIONARY", and I mean it to convey something of the revolutionary nature of evolution as an idea. Evolutionaries are revolutionaries, with all the personal and philosophical commitment that word implies. They are not merely curious bystanders to the evolutionary process, passive believers in the established sciences of evolution, though all certainly value those insights. They are committed activists and advocates - often passionate ones - for the importance of evolution at a cultural level."

and Cultural Potential of Science's Greatest Idea.

NO THING happens in LIVING NATURE that is not in relation to
THE WHOLE as the BALANCED ECO-SYSTEM which Homo Sapiens
Sapiens must now restore to ensure the survival of LIFE on EARTH.
The MINDFULNESS Mind Map provides a matrix of 49 "tunnels" - designed for and by the masses - allowing access to a place conducive to Coexistence, Cooperation and Collaboration - such that the collective all-inclusive first person singular present tense, third person objective - point of view - will then lead to the establishment of a new model & method of wealth creation, mutually beneficial to ALL.

THE DEMISE of ZAADZ as it is subsumed by GAIA
as it transmogrifies into GAIAM and thence GAIAM TV
NEVER forgetting, in the context of this very first *zaadz zBlog,in which I referred to a quote from Margaret Mead, that there is no better way to leave *zaadz behind, than with yet another classic statement from her ...
"Never depend upon institutions or government to solve anyproblem. All social movements are founded by, guided by,
motivated and seen through, by the passion of individuals
and ALWAYS REMEMBER that you are absolutely unique.
Just like everyone else."

So now, the Society for General Systems Research, which is proliferating, is proliferating by the standard methods that are used in this country - regional chapters. I said to Dick Erickson, ‘I don’t think we should be so conventional, we ought to think of something better.’ We can’t get anybody to use any kind of constructive thinking on the problems of organization. And, of course, there’s no place where you can get a well rounded degree in General System Theory. Rand has a school that is almost entirely military.One of the most crazy situations - I was asked to speak at a dinner of the Air Force celebrating their fifth decade of Air Force intelligence. I talked about the fact that they weren’t paying attention to the whole; the Air Force was modeling the Soviet Union as a system, and the Army was modeling the United States as a system, using different units, and they were both ignoring the fact that China existed, and therefore were making hopeless mess when you knew you had a universe to deal with. What I was telling them was to use cybernetic thinking as it had developed into general systems theory. The next morning I was on a chartered plane bringing me back, and there was a man on it who said, ‘You left me way behind. I couldn’t understand a word you said.’ I said, ‘What are you?’ He said, ‘I’m an electronic specialist.’
Americans are always solving problems piece-meal. They’re always solving them de nouveau and artificially because they’re all newcomers and they don’t have decisions grounded in a culture.
Margaret Mead talking about Cybernetics in the context of inside versus outside the box from Issue no. 10 of the CoEvolutionary Quarterly, June 1976.

[IT] was of course THE DEMISE of ZAADZ as it was subsumed by
GAIA which led to me grabbing as many of the important *zaadz
posts/comments and preserving them here at [IT]'s NEW HOME,
in the guise of a [RE]lived GAIA COMMUNITY which with the most
appropriate COMPASSION, COLLABORATION & COOPERATION IN
TRANSISTION remains up and running to this day and accessible
through any internet search engine as well as BY WAY OF my utilisation
of Facebook as a SURFACE to PROJECT IDEAS of TRANSISTION •
and "WHY?" do you ask TRANSISTION • well for those that know and
no doubt understand the multi-dimensional perspective of my
right-brained, left-handed and so-called dyslexic disposition • I have
already explained my absolute respect for the brilliant IDEAS of
Leonardo da Vinci and Buckminster Fuller but from now on I wish
to dedicate this initiative of mine to THE IDEAS of he whom I would
regard as my best friend ever, because of the few conversations that
we had together during the time when he helped me to re-wire our
home extension in Boreham Wood, namely my father-in-law
Ronald Yardley, who when I asked for his daughter's hand in marriage,
exclaimed "WHY on EARTH would you want to DO THAT !!!???" • but
for some one who had built his own digital calculator and a colour
television receiver at home in a kitchen cupboard, ready to receive
the very first BBC Colour Test Signals, and was the very first person I
knew who had explained to me in-depth the purpose of using
TRANSISTORS instead of VALVES at a TIME when, as part and parcel
of a Physics 'A' level experiment, I was involved with the building of an
analogue computer/calculator at Grammar School, utilising valves •
I would dedicate the very concept of TRANSISTION to him,
particularly with respect for the kindness of the hundreds of
Post Office Staff who attended his funeral at Finchley Crematorium,
following his untimely death at 54 years of age, and the thousands of
small donations which were freely given to my soul mate's mother
Joan Yardley and the family.
ALL of which for me, has underpinned and gradually
evolved into that which I would refer to as...
THE SPiRALogic of a SYSTEMS MINDSET whichis driven by THE SPiRAL ART of THE POSSIBLE
rather than the avarice and greed of those who
are supposedly in perpetual control of our lives
DOING the WRONG THINGS for the wrong reasons
which have for example been thus far highlighted
by the ZATARRA Report and all that has been thus
far revealed about the likes of EPSTEIN and his
various associates, as shown in the BBC Panorama
TV showing of The Prince and the Epstein Scandal
and the very lack of action taken by the FBI, with
particular regard to the trafficking of girls across
state-borders, which [IT] was set up for in the
very first place, to support the concept of a very
singular vision of a UNITED STATES of AMERICA
and shamefully I would agree here in the UK also.
THE SPiRALogic of the EVOLUTION [OF] our PERCEPTION OF THE SPIRAL
LET'S CHANGE THE WORLD in[DEED]

Thanks.
Much as words can NEVER be enough I shall continue to precis them to the very best of my ability ! BUT as far as my use of pictures and drawings are concerned, I must definitely give credit to both David Altounian and Scott Eckert of Motion Computing and their fabulous M1200 slate tablet, which provided so many hours of artistic entertainment as well as my access of course to both Myspace and Blogger, where I was able to cut my teeth so to speak with regard to and respect for the very ART of Blogging !!!

This morning I've been reading some of your posts (i'm not sure how i got there, doing my usual float i suppose, when my mind is in the search), and i'm amazed and impressed with your thoughts & your words. Your very wise & I thank you for being here and posting. I've been looking for some inspiration in the last week or so, to continue my quest. (lifes drudgery has me moving in waves). You've got me thinking on language & thought & i'm hoping i'll have a new post soon. I felt compelled to leave you a comment & beg for more of your thoughts. :) You have a great contribution here & i look forward to reading more.

How conscious this is …
“when I understand - no explanation is necessary”
“when I am yet to understand - no explanation will suffice”
I am always on the verge of discovery, new things, new consciousness, new rememberings. Thank you Michael for all your sharing.
Love
Martin

Words are never enough…
Your words have been like a drink of water….. is to thirst.
A GREAT TEACHER you are..thank you for teaching through example, and hopeful actions, Michael.
And most of all thanks for understanding.
We will get water to those children.
Love,

Michael said
YES We shall get water to those children

Once again I agree, Michael.
And its the entrepreneurial impulse behind it too. Consciouss capitalism.
Conscious business.
Evolutonary Entrepreneeurship.
In this year, and the coming years politics, economy and crisis mangement of all kind have to be adressed too.
How can this community contribute, co-shape and catalyse big constellations even beyond its own holonic systemics?
How can it contribute to global leadership? Beyond the dominant impulses from institutions, organizations, foundations and think tanks? Beyond the dominant corporate agendas and corridors of power in poltics?
What could be the specific power of this community?
