Why this world must come to an end

When the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds, and who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be known as the warriors of the rainbow.” = Old American Indian prophecy

Wake up, the old ways are dying. Let go. Be free. Transform. Open.Love.

Sevenly People : Nick Jacobs from Mark Anderson on Vimeo.

Seenly was built upon the idea that “People Matter”. This includes everyone from the people that benefit from the money we raise, to the people that support the charities, to the people that keep Sevenly moving. This is the first film in a new series called, “Sevenly People”. The series will focus on individual team members, who they are and what they do. The first in this series is of Nick Jacobs, the buyer.

Nick has a very simple yet profound quality about himself, which is his ability to recognize the possibility in every situation, whether it’s doing laundry at the laundromat or losing a job. That quality coupled with his natural craving for adventure has taken him across the world. If you ever have the opportunity to cross Nick’s path, make sure to treat him to a coffee and ask him to tell you the tale of how he went from shopping for a used washing machine and ended up on a hippie reservation.

After interviewing Nick, we realized there was a lot of amazing things he said that didn’t make it into the video. So we transcribed some of those excerpts, beginning with his decision to travel the world after leaving his job of 10 years.

This is the story of one incredible doctor, what happened to him will astound you.

TODAY: A Short Documentary Film from Phillip Montgomery on Vimeo.


TODAY is the incredible moving story of Dr. Pankaj Parekh, the Director of Water Quality for the LADWP, in charge of the clean drinking water of over four-million people. After suffering a tragic accident, he is faced with new, unthinkably difficult challenges, but with the unconditional love and support of his wife, he fights on.

Emergence by Lee Harris

Much has been made of the time that we are living in; the concept and idea that 2012 was a turning point. Many ask, “When will the Golden Age begin?”

But wherever you look right now on the planet, things seem far from golden. Destruction is taking place at gross levels. This is happening.

We are told stories that are not true, in order to get us to agree to policies and actions that will just bring further destruction. So why do we agree? When did this begin?

In 2011, I recorded a message called “Year of Illumination”. In that message I spoke about how when things become illuminated, we see everything. We see the shadows as strongly as we see the light.

The world is full of Love. The World is full of Hate.

The world is full of Love. The World is full of Hate. The world is full of Life and the world is full of Death. The world is full of Light and the world is full of Dark. We exist within this constant state of flux.

The universe is a place of creation and the universe is a place of destruction.

When we focus our intention, our minds, our lives on creating value, it fuels us with the energy to become a force for good, because when we see this value, it gives us hope, and in that hope is great potential. This doesn't mean we place our heads in the sand, it means we pour our energy into being productive and doing good.

When you post stuff to Facebook and talk to your friends be careful not to give in to scaremongering and gossip, it is vital that we try to make sure what we are sharing is correct and not just propaganda. There are people out there that want you to feel hopeless and powerless.

There are religious organisations out there that want us all to despise each other and fight over our beliefs. We can live in a harmonious world, it is possible.

Thank you to my friend for sending this image, happy Monday.

Magic Makers - The teens changing the world

Please support my friend Melissa Jun Rowley get her show funded, a earth shattering and life affirming production that showcases a collection of incredibly gifted teenagers from across the globe, inventing solutions to address some of the toughest problems we face today.

{PLEASE SHARE THIS AND SPREAD THE MAGIC}

Melissa says "Hello! My name is Melissa. A year ago, I noticed a trend taking shape in technology, science, and the arts. I began hearing stories about brilliant, imaginative teens inventing solutions to address some of the toughest problems across the globe.

One day, I read a story about a 16-year-old who found a new way to detect pancreatic cancer. A week later when l learned of a 17-year-old who created a robotic arm that’s controlled by brainwaves. After that, I was introduced to a teen author, who spoke at TED about what adults can learn from children. I thought, “something special is happening.” This isn’t a trend. It’s a movement. There is a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math) renaissance beginning to set fire to the world, and young people are moving mountains to see it to fruition. I decided that I needed to meet these teens and other young STEAM activists and tell their stories. That’s how the idea for our docu-series “Magic Makers” evolved. We want to collaborate with students, teachers, and mentors to spotlight the work they’re doing to improve education models, and work with them to prototype solutions for challenges in their schools and hometowns.

Our crowdfunding goal is to raise $75K to film the pilot of “Magic Makers” in New York City. The funds will cover production fees, travel expenses, and post-production costs.

Every time I talk to the current nine cast members of “Magic Makers”, I am inspired by their fearlessness, authenticity, and drive to help others. They are genuine articles of the most connected and informed generation to date. Please join us on what is sure to be an epic journey and celebration of what the convergence of youth, STEAM education, and the great human spirit can accomplish."

Mind Valley Academy - One mind at a time.

I am very excited to share this with you.

Firstly, I am sharing this because technology inspires me with hope for our future and secondly because Vishen's vision for the future is completely aligned with all my beliefs and my own vision for humanity.

Our world and societies will change and shift when more people have access to wisdom and the potential to become happy. Happy people do not kill each other, happy people do not bomb each other. 

I stand by Vishen when he says that we must empower people.

All this works in perfect harmony with my teacher Daisaku Ikeda the president of the Buddhist organisation I am a member of the Sokka Gakkai International (See sgi.org for more information) of whom I have immense gratitude, for he is the one who gave me the opportunity to practice this Buddhism, as well as be a part of this great movement of people. Without him, it would have never reached my country.

The Sokka Gakkai is a movement of peace, education and culture, for the betterment and happiness of all of humanity.

MindValley's platform is an exciting beginning for something incredible. I really cant wait to see what Vishen creates.

He has created him self a very bold and brave vision, but as they say fortune favours the brave and I am 10 000% behind him.

Have a look at his organisation, and how they are planning to fill the gap in education, in helping people find real happiness and fulfilment.

Mind Valley Team

Introducing Mind Valley

We’re an international group of 100+ individuals from 30+ countries led by Founder & CEO Vishen Lakhiani, doing our part to change the world.

From outdated societal beliefs and education models that hold people back to restrictive work cultures that hinder creativity and innovation–we at Mindvalley are ambitiously, ridiculously, and irreverently determined to help change all of that to help explode our full human potential and move the planet forward.

While many look at global problems like brain drain and broken educational systems and focus their time and energy fixing the problem, we take a different approach.

How? By embodying the philosophy of the great scientist and awesome futurist, Buckminster Fuller who once said: “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

And that’s exactly what we’re doing. Building new better models that make today’s problematic models obsolete, and at the heart of our approach is “culture hacking.

What is Culture Hacking?

cul·ture [kuhl-cher] noun, verb,

The quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc.

A particular form or stage of civilization, as that of a certain nation or period: Greek culture.

Development or improvement of the mind by education or training.

The behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic, or age group: the youth culture; the drug culture.

hack, verb

To cut to the core. To dismantle systems apart. To rebuild. To recode.

Thus, “culture hacking” is the art of bringing in technology and education in smart effective ways to rapidly “recode” and advance culture, altering in the process the behaviors of everyday individuals to make them adopt smarter practices that elevate their lives.

And so far, the results have been phenomenal.

Making the world a better place by touching 1 billion lives by 2050.

Learn more about MindValley here:

Mindvalley was founded by Vishen Lakhiani, a computer engineer who developed a fascination with the human mind. Vishen is driven by 3 things: hacking the global education system by spreading enlightened ideas, creating entrepreneurs who push the human race forward and contributing $1 billion to charitable causes via the Mindvalley Foundation in his lifetime.

The Venus Project - A CLEAR VISION for the future.

Tomorrow's cities: How the Venus Project is redesigning the future

Is it possible to create a radically different society? One where material possessions are unnecessary, where buildings are created in factories, where mundane jobs are automated?

Would you want to live in a city where the main aim of daily life is to improve personal knowledge, enjoy hobbies, or solve problems that could be common to all people in order to improve the standard of living for everyone?

Some may think it is idealistic, but 97-year old architect Jacque Fresco is convinced his vision of the future is far better than how we live today.

The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable, but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will result in a continuation of the same catalogue of problems inherent in today's world. Today many people believe what is needed is a higher sense of ethical standards and the enactment of international laws to assure a sustainable global society.

Goldie Blox - helping little girls be more then princesses.

GoldieBlox, is a toy company founded in 2012 by Debbie Sterling, a female engineer from Stanford University. Engineers are solving some of the biggest challenges our society faces. They are critical to the world economy, earn higher salaries and have greater job security. And they are 89% male. We believe engineers can’t responsibly build our world’s future without the female perspective.
