The
purpose of the Link-Up for Transformation is to
accelerate development of public awareness of the
unfolding Transformation and to foster support for
this process.
By
The Transformation we mean the
shifting of consciousness to an awareness of the
human potential and the interdependence of life on
Earth. Intrinsic to this awareness is the
recognition of the need for whole-centeredness, in
which the good of one is seen to depend on the good
of all. Accordingly, structures need to geared
to incentivize cooperation, aiming for all-wins
rather than win-lose outcomes.
This
evolutionary process is underway but is sorely
challenged by the existing consciousness and social
structures which are based on self-centered,
dominator models of thought and action. Human
society is hanging in the balance in a race for
survival: transform or die.
Which way we go may depend on how many people rise up
and lend their support to the process of creating
this shift of consciousness.
To
facilitate the development of a consensus that we
can all get behind, we have developed a set of
foundational principles for the reinvention of
society. These twelve Principles of
Global Transformation represent the common
denominators behind the efforts of the myriad of
personal and social transformation
organizations. To join the Link-Up is to affirm
agreement that this is the kind of world we want,
thus demonstrating an enormous constituency for
Transformational change.
It
is our sense that the world described by these twelve
Principles is what vast numbers of people on
Earth really want but have not had hope of bringing
about. By the awakening of hope, we feel that
change can be accelerated, as people recognize that
their efforts can have an impact. Many may thus
become motivated to leave behind denial and
absorption in less-meaningful activity and funnel
their energies instead into what may really be The
Only Game in Townsaving the Earth and
human society. Without these, there is little
value in anything else.
A
key contribution which the Link-Up seeks to make
is to bring to public awareness the fact that a
whole phenomenon of Transformation is taking
place, so that people can grasp the Big Picture:
That
not only are there a large number of people doing
good works, but that a fundamental shift in society
is in the making. In reality, huge numbers of
people on the planet are all supporting a common set
of goalseven though their particular areas of
focus may be different.
So,
despite all the bad news on television and dismaying
events around us, something very big and very
positive is happening. And we can all take partin
many different ways. There is no need any
longer for anyone to be isolated or bored. The
means is at hand NOW for anyone who wants to join in
to link up and give energy to some form of valuable
work to help transform the planet.
Even the simple act of affirming support for the
Principles is in itself a contribution. Through
the Link-Up for Transformation we hope to help people
to connect up and be part of this process.
