Lynn, I loved your article! Easy to read, in great chronological order, so it’s easy for the mind to follow your thought process. It makes total sense.

I am reading a book by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi called “Flow, the psychology of optimal experience”. Just like you pointed out in your article a clear mind is essential prior to getting in action. To improve the quality of ones life, we first have to create order in our mind. Mihaly documents different activities that foster overriding ones genetic/bio-chemical impulses (as I call it). He describes how learning new complex skills help us taking charge of our mind, which in turn helps strengthening the self. The activities he documents range from a variety of sports activities, dancing, playing chess, etc. I’m absolutely fascinated and inspired by authors like you and Mihaly. I look forward to your next article.

Best,

Lynn,

I love this and support you in taking this orientation (found my way here from LOHAS group on LinkedIn. I’m transitioning in working in leadership and organizational development from the inside out, so I resonate quite strongly with what you are saying.

Hi Lynn
A good and thought provoking post. The inner transformation/awareness must indeed come before action, as must observation. This transformation has been the goal of many over the years (Deep Ecologists, Eco-Anarchists and Pagans to list just a few). I think that you are right about people shutting down or despairing in the face of the challenge facing us, I myself have a tendency to despair and anger when I look to the future. I think the abundance project is a good idea, wild food is the ultimate local, seasonal food and the act of foraging “realises” the land in a way that nothing else does. It may be worth mapping the food sources and having harvest days, where people can go out with the maps to points and harvest the food.

You have said so much that resonates with what the world needs. I wish you Godspeed on your mission. I really appreciate your opinion, Please take a few minutes to give me some feedback on a video clip that I have put together to help raise the collective consciouness. I want to send it as far as I can, but before I do I am looking for feedback. It is 12 minutes. I am a musician too so the first minute is a music prelude from my CD 9th Heaven. I hope you take a moment to view this and give me your thoughts.
