I have added to my website (
http://www.bibbs.com/roan) the NCF Mission
Statement and Strategy Overview, a fairly comprehensive document crafted
in 1997 by a group in the New Civilization Network, (
http://newciv.org)
when it was believed that a large sum of money was going to be donated
to help us bring about a survivable society.
The document is, in my opinion, one of the most important statements of
directions and activities ever produced. While the donation was blocked
by politics, the document helps those who wish to take the path of the
Forerunner to find what they can do to further the effort in the world.
Everyone has friends who feel much like they do, even we forerunners who
are such a rarity in the world, (although that is changing) and many of
the suggested courses of actions could be accomplished in local or
regional areas by any group of friends who really wish to leave to their
children a better, survivable world. I suggest you read it, and please
don't hesitate to email me with any comments or changes you would like
to see incorporated into the document.
I will soon be setting up a list of people who want to either live in a
Forerunner community or help start the Geonet in their local area. I
don't expect an instant response, in that everything goes by the bell
curve, which means even the best efforts start slowly and grow at
increasing speeds. But if you are thinking of participating, please
sign up and I will make sure you get connected with people of like mind.
I want to thank the folks who have been writing me, and assure you that
I will be answering you as time goes on. I have been quite overwhelmed
by the responses I've been getting. With the conflicts in the news, the
steady reports of environmental disaster, and the other indicators that
we must wake up and take personal responsibility for the world, rather
than leaving it to 'leaders', I think a great awakening is occurring
around the world.
If you were going to move a large stone, you would carefully shove it
and with some effort to over come inertia, it would move.
If you were going to move a large boulder, you would get some friends,
and you would all shove it together, and slooowly, overcoming a lot more
inertia, it would move.
If you are going to move a planet, you get millions of people, all
shoving together, and after a long intense effort, overcoming the
inertia of a whole world, it too would move.
Let's do something with our lives which is really outrageous... let's
move the world together.
