Get a Finger on the Trimtab
As R. Buckminster Fuller taught, a trimtab is a small lever the size of your thumb that steers huge, megaton steamships on the ocean. You could push the boat all day with thousands of people and never move the ship. But put your finger on the trimtab and it steers easily. You and I must get our thumbs on the trimtab of our lives. What effort and ease is most effective to steer our lives in the direction we’d like to go? Do you know what you want? Do we as a people, a nation and a human race remember what we really want?
Here are a few examples of trimtabs which can facilitate global, personal and interpersonal transformation:
- Transcend the Taboo of Knowing Who You Really Are.
- Educate about Seven Aspects of Freedom – Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual, Economic, Legal and Political.
- Design a Sustainable Business Strategy in Free Enterprise.
- Manufacture and Produce Renewable Energy Technology to Eliminate Dependence Upon Fossil Fuels.
- Build a Global Resource Center to Coordinate Communications, Networking and Entrepreneurship.
- Design New Finance Models in Free Enterprise to Create Opportunities.
- Produce Conscious Media: Films, Podcasts and Music to Awaken Human Consciousness.
- Create a New Global Republic of, by and for the People of All Nations.
Future of Free Enterprise
Old paradigm business and finance systems based on usury, exploitation and the exponential expansion of debt are in collapse. New equity-based, free-enterprise systems are emerging. Sustainable development and true prosperity will not be achieved through top-down, centralized, state-managed socialist or fascist economies.
The future of commerce, business and banking is in the resurgence of true free-market economies based on natural laws and principles, sustainable production-oriented products, services, media and information.
Free trade under GATT and NAFTA is not free-market, but monopolistic in its inception and application. Controlled economies are all heading for bankruptcy similar to the meltdown of the Soviet Union. Continue to bury your head in the sand or step up to the plate and start a project and business in free enterprise. Become an entrepreneur, find a need and fill it.
Truly free markets allow every individual or small company, entrepreneurs, innovations and creativity to participate in the economy from the bottom-up. With the advent of the Internet as a communications and marketing tool, everyone can become a producer, small or large, in the system and take leadership in their economic lives.
When there are thousands of new and established companies and organizations willing to collaborate and exchange products, services and information, a new economic order will emerge. Then We the People can begin to live in a new paradigm reality.
Power and Significance of Communications Networking
Thirty-seven years ago after being inspired by the publication of the Whole Earth Catalog, I began networking people, projects, programs, organizations, information and media on the leading edge of social, political, economic and creative cultural change. This information was gathered and organized into a massive database for a single purpose – to build and connect the leadership of the future. The future ain’t what it used to be. The future is now!
Information seeds planted over many decades are now germinating after the turn of the new millennium. Many successive waves of change and new generations have come, left their mark and gone. Many of those great beings who came before gave us insights, wisdom and highly refined tools and processes to bring about the inevitable global and personal transformation which is coming down the track.
Crossroads of a New Paradigm
All of us alive today are on the precipice, the edge, the crossroads of a new paradigm reality emerging in consciousness planet-wide. All you have to do to participate in this global event is to open your eyes, look and see the marvelous miracles and innovations in the primary areas of food, water, air, shelter, energy, environment, technology, communications, education, health and wellness.
As the classic line in Star Trek goes, “resistance is futile!”
Instead of assembling mass resistance to keep the old speeding train from going over the cliff, a better strategy for a smooth transition is to get far enough in front of the train and lay some new track (before the train wreck of course). Look around. Old belief systems (sacred cows and taboos), power structures, obsolete technology, irrelevant political ideologies, religious fundamentalism and classic economic theory are all in collapse simultaneously. There is no way out of this mess we’ve made, only through.
Emerging Consciousness
You and I must become the change , indeed the very transformation we want to experience in our world. Take the reigns of your freedom. Take personal responsibility and reclaim internal authority over your life. Take hold of the reigns of your precious life and ride into the future. Through communications and networking, empowerment, entrepreneurship, leadership and mastery, you and I will emerge into states of consciousness only the avatars knew. This is an exhilarating journey!
Those who fail to acknowledge the profound changes occurring in our world; those who cannot see; those who will not take their heads out of the sand and those who fail to act, will be left in the dust.
Step into leadership of the future beyond your wildest imagination and harvest the fruits of your life’s purpose. Live your dreams instead of sleeping them away. This is success beyond the limited idea of material accumulation and comfort, a true prosperity consciousness of abundance.
You and I came here with a purpose. Leadership and mastery is about creating alignment with these powerful forces of change, getting connected with each other and building a foundation for the life you’ve always wanted to live -possibly creating a project or business in alignment with your life’s purpose. The choice is yours, always yours and mine.
