Peaceful Dynamism - the 'State' of the Future

[Aaron Mcloughlin]

If we are to engage in active Transition thinking e need to have a future outcome that inspires and moves us. Peace is not that. It is quiet, uneventful and lacks dynamism.

We know what it means and in a sense it is what we crave and yet it is not a spell binding future to gravitate towards, in fact, what is peace?

Peaceful Dynamism as an outcome inspires me and it brings the paradox together, you know, the inner and the outer, the relative and non-relative.

It is a state that can be lived and that 'paces' the already existing 'state' that we live in.

Peaceful Dynamism also suggests a Courageous Curiosity, an attitude that inspires creativity and openness to possibility.

1. Acknowledge the challenges that exist
2. Generate a state of Courageous Curiosity
3. Set your mind to Wondering: "I wonder how I am continuing to make the changes that I need to make now so that I can create a sustainable and invigorating life"

Your mind will automatically begin a process of internalisation as it goes inside now and generates and identifies all manner of new thoughts and feelings continue to grow as I continue to read and wonder... that's right... how I can make these subtle changes now... that continue to support my success and well being grows effortlessly inside I can feel more and more relaxed and inspired to know that I am taking control now of how I choose to perceive the world with clarity. Ahhh!

How do I add this?! lol... I have my work cut out...

Firstly, I am in complete alignment with Peaceful Dynamism. Maybe what we will find here is that there are a number of terms that quantify or look to encapsulate the same essence or 'meaning'.

Let's break down 'Peaceful Dynamism':

- Peace brings tolerance, compassion, respect, non violence, kinship and kindness.
- Dynamic feels fresh, new, energetic with limitless potential. Untapped ability.

How about Benevolent Activism?

I often use the term 'Conscious Evolution'. This brings the element of awakening. Of empowering oneself and taking responsibility for our mutual destiny. I think this is a really core issue. This is where I relate to courage so strongly. Our Utopia lays before us. How badly do we want it? Are we prepared to do the work necessary to make it a reality?

If you criticise this current society but are apathetic to finding a solution, what help is it? Are you really just now a part of the problem? Perpetuating a negative vibration of dialogue that offers no hope, no positivity, no constructive direction and no inspiration? So pointing the finger ACHIEVES NOTHING. It adversely creates a ripple effect of limited belief and lack of ability to those around you and the greater community. There is a global shrugging-of-shoulders!

Yes, It takes courageous curiousity to give a damn, and we also have to be conscious of what we are facing (Acknowledge the challenges). But more so it needs to be conscious living from moment-to-moment. Aware of a bigger picture that places us in unifying, interconnected context.

We need to call upon and utilise a level of critical thinking that best weighs up the cost of our action, or more appropriately, our inaction.

So, what are the fundamentals we are talking about?

Culture gives birth to identity.
Mindset gives birth to culture.
Consciousness gives birth to Mindset.

How much of this is an internal question? For fear of being called crazy, I will say 99% (instead of 100%) of the issue lies in an individually led journey of personal self discovery.

So is what we're doing, really just supporting, empowering and inspiring each other in our own unique journey of self discovery and personal development?

My belief is that the solutions to our global crises and knowing our true destiny, both collectively and individually, are one and the same. Peace, equality, justice, human rights, ecological harmony and the respect of all life will be natural by products from the focus of working together to define what it is we seek collectively as human beings.

What is it that we hope to realise AFTER PEACE??

If we raise our intention and focus to this level, ALL ISSUES WILL TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES as a natural alignment of our new way of seeing ourselves and purely 'being'. As the issues are but the symptoms of ill-consciousness.

When you finally realise that your whole life has been a result of mass-conditioning, to be and think in a certain way, the first question that comes to mind is... What other societies are possible if we can ever align enough to bring about committed change?

Dawn is a community committed to those who have awakened.

What do we have on our side?

Leveraging We can leverage our efforts by aligning our ideas into cohesive visions or goals for real social change. We all know and understand the power of leveraging and how exponential the effect is.

Doable steps We need to build a community that focuses on REAL achievable steps that provide pragmatic tangible results. That's what I really hope for Dawn. Is that real ideas by real people are created and given birth here.

As change makers, we need to build structures and peer based initiatives that not only bring out the very best in you, but bring out the very best in us all!

1. Take charge!
2. Share your idea for positive social change.
3. Create a group for building awareness, and inspiring and inviting people to join your cause.
4. Develop action plans within your group to leverage more powerful results.
5. Make REAL change happen.

Any thoughts? I also think the fundamental idea behind the company in this video speaks volumes about where we are heading. Check it out!
