Hi Peggy, I just found the WiserEarth site and love it! I recently started an online nature education video series (NatureBreak.org) and am looking to connect with people who would be interested in watching my videos, posting them on their sites, or collaborating. Do you have any recommendation for people to connect with or groups to join? Thanks!

Father Patric, your post is a little overwhelming but also inspiring.
Just yesterday I sent off to the printer a novel, Denmark Rising, that takes as its starting point that freedom is a state of being rather than some external circumstance. The novel pretends that the Danes prepared to use strategic nonviolence against the Nazis in 1940 and works thru the social dynamics of how that strategy might have played out.
Seems to me that a major difficulty in ending war is that many of us can not imagine an alternative. Fiction seems like a good way to educate our imaginations such that we can consider nonviolent approaches to conflict. |

Peggy, Paul and WizerEarth participants,
It's been awhile since I have been available to participate in the WiserEarth network notion and just now the time is available to catch up with what has happened in Patric's life recently. I want to seduce this blessed community to participate long term in the emerging global work of The Order of Earth/Maka Si Tomni in bringing forth justice, healing and wisdom for Mother Earth and her peoples. "Everything that rises must converge" and the moment of covergence is upon us. Since June 24th I have taken a walk about, disrupted in my solitary hut with the man-n-mirror into Twitter Universe and Blip.FM. NamelesWonderer and Blip call name now TheOrderofEarth. The discipline of 140 characters has opened a concise clarity in regards to my indignation & intention to launch global human realization and I need help yesterday, tonight, and tomorrow morning. I attended the Twistup #6 at the Hilton Universal Studios in Universal City California on June 30th and August 1st 2009. Very interesting social technology developing what I want to bring forth love = legitimacy-in-coexistence in the presence of another as the primary new standard in consciousness in designing a future world together! So here WE go!
First, i offer the following understanding of reality for the web of life. Responsibility for what happens in our personal lives and on earth is determined by what WE decide to do within the current situation NOT an outside spiritual assembly or systemic institutional power to follow. Everyone is a leader, hero/heroine and designer of a new world. WE/(Cell in a blade of grass) are autopoietic ~ self organized biological power arising from inside not outside. We are autognosis ~ self knowing arising in the immediacy of momentariness being triggered by domains of permanent human concerns in the medium surrounding US. Human Realization occurs in turning away from the appearances, mesmerism, hypnotism, matrix , conditions and situations to the silence, stillness and solitude presencing an interior moment in human experience. What arises immediately in momentariness is rest, peace and confidence in trusting a mood of optimism, joyful concern in designing a world together! Autopoiese = self generative innovative power + autognosis = self individuated human realization + practice of balancing self meditation = omnipresencing being awake in momentariness taking effective actions in permanent human concerns. This is the universal circular key to global virtuous solidarity, all ages and spiritual traditions, and powerful key note as citizens in all domains of professional enterprises. WE have the opportunity to transform our world because of the breakdowns surrounding our living. I offer this two minute video to instill optimism to any current pessimism or depression.

I started in WizerEarth upon its Beta release in April 2008 with Maka Si Tomni (Lakota Surrounding the Universe) also The Order of Earth founded May 3rd, 2002 1:58:24 PM MDT Denver Colorado USA, the primary mission is to bring forth a new configuration of elder wisdom to design sustainability in the 21st century. The Lakota elders at Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reservations translated The Order of Earth to Maka Si Tomni. I declared myself as a renunciate within The Order of Earth I am fulfilling my eternal vow of poverty. My tent and peace of mind as a human being is in my priesthood, ordained in The Holy Order of MANS, 101 Steiner Street San Francisco California, on July 26th 1974 10:00 AM. I promised to help heal the earth and its people and have taken eternal vows of obedience, humility, purity, poverty and service to the Great nameless source principle constituting, sustaining and maintaining ALL life! I invite Wiser Earth and its participants to explore a new possible possibility in this moment. "We have all the time in the world and NOT a moment to waste." I am committed to organizing an elder assembly of human wisdom that will live and guide social relations in the future. Elder wisdom surrounds us and NOT listened to because the deadening reductionist ignorance in the swept-along-drift of identities in power roles, positions and titles are blind, deaf and dumb NOT listening. Instead have created a coercive deceptive communication and management global political structure. I am not prejudice I hate the entire system and am prepared to raise my voice as an individual. An example of this inherent elder wisdom within our humanity I offer Professor OE Wilson from Harvard University who won the 2007 Ted conference of "Making a Wish for Humanity" called "Encyclopedia of Life."
"Encyclopedia of Life" (22 minutes) http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/83
I offer that the Lakota tribe (American Natives) are the lost tribe within western civilization history. Pine Ridge Reservation is the poorest county in America and even though this reservation is experiencing severe intergenerational trauma (alcholism, drug abuse, social degradation & suicide) the oral languaging is still intact and their creation story is unviolated, still the guiding light of community prayer within elder wisdom! They are determined to thrive as a unit of humanity and failure is NOT an option! The Story of the Great Race (already on Maka Si Tomni) ~ where in the midst of predatory chaos, the great creator has created a race around the Black Hills ~ the center of all that is, and human beings win the race in the end through a Magpie jumping off a Buffalo's back to cross the finish line first! I am willing to be that Magpie! So be optimistic and embody a mood of joyful concern in what you do, when you do, the things you do! We produced a film "The Lakota Ride Again" in an attempt to raise money to support the children in the community to mount their horses and recover their human dignity in a memorial ride on June 26th 2008 at Little Big Horn Montana. I have personally funded the efforts of The Order of Earth and this was my first effort of inviting outside sources to contribute to the endeavor. It was a disaster I raised $6,500. My efforts to exploit this network in WiserEarth produced a few of those contributions which I am grateful for. The point is WE must create a self generating funding mechanism to fuel the long term design, research, innovations and solidarity as global virtuous citizens to succeed as humanity in our situation. The Lakota Paradigm on YouTube offers clear distinctions to what we are currently facing in terms of western discourses, systemic institutions and standard practices.

"He who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me" T. Jefferson 1813
I am a Roman Catholic born November 12th 1950 2:11 AM Columbus Ohio USA and was Baptised on November 17th 1950 at Holy Family Parish in Columbus Ohio. I have lived a sacramental life to the best of my ability although more from the stand point of a prodigal son who determined truth through gnosis mystical experience rather than demand for obedience and negation of self. Many of you may have left this root as well or be very upset with the experience and its role in our world. I understand those feeling and simultaneously I have sorted the Christic essence from the ignorant behaviors. I have found my own way to human realization as a Priest serving the Mother Mary, Earth and the Roman Catholic Church. My Priesthood under the order of Melcheziedec is the spiritual root and rudder of my understanding as a man and service in every domain of my living including rasing my children in freedom. I live a sacred life and was called to the priesthood at a young age. At 17 years old, March 1968, an elder Catholic man walked out between two cars and was killed instantly by my car. I experienced PTSD and an ontogenic shift in consciousness happened ~ I needed to find answers by pulling myself up by the bootstraps ~ alone!
I entered the Holy Order of MANS (Mysterium, Agape, Nous, Sophia) in 1971 and the order was a revelatory spiritual experience of Christ's return to earth in these last days to bring forth illumination and help heal the earth and its people. I never denied nor was I ever required to deny my reverent sacramental life in the one true universal entity the Catholic Church for bringing forth the presence of Christ on earth. The mission of the Holy Order of MANS was to unite all faith. We ordained women and were a semi-monastic pattern of living as a community, self generative by working to support ourselves and sharing the same purse as a community. We were a self organizing Christian brotherhood dedicated to spiritual realization and healing. The Master Jesus guided our community through revelation and Father Paul Blighton claimed to be St. Paul and made his transition on Holy Thursday 1974. Over the course of the past 35 years I have been many identities and an entrepreneur in business for 22 years. I have participated in the following communities: The Infinite Way, Self Realization Fellowship, BOTA, International Mankind Project, Lakota Sacred Pipe Carrier, Zen Hollow Bones Sensei, Avatar-Master~Wizard, Tibetan Instruction and Baha'i Member. In this present moment my attention is required as a Priest within my community the Roman Catholic Church. The process I am entering is a returning to the deepest root of my present human realization and requires surrendering my obedience, attention and will to a higher authority than myself. All of us seek a higher authority to confirm our authority and service within community living. Currently we have all chiefs and no indians and its destroying the earth and its people like a plague.
I am at a point of transition today! Decision of what I am willing to die for and its resurrection of Christ Consciousness within our humanity. The one place I have total control in the future is where I decide to place my own attention and will power as both a Priest and human being within the earth community. I declare my (our) life is sacred revelatory experience with one another every moment NOT a Jerry Springer fist fight on the playground, or deadening reductionist systemic institutions of power based in ownership, or controlled power by external media and communication network structures.
A confidential communication is a private business matter and this is what I offer to your endeavor as a possible possibility of working together in the future. Privacy also means WE all make mistakes and our learning is private NOT a public matter to characterize anyone's identity as a human being. I offer that without recovering our sense of sacred privacy as human beings we will destroy ourselves in the projections we make about one another. My person requires calmness, safety and security in learning moment to moment. Especially when a person is being led by spirit and does NOT KNOW where they are going ~ living in grace. One of the most powerful experiences I have witnessed is how the Lakota people and their elders control the "eye of the camera" as an authority to the outside world. I was invited Bill Center, a Lakota Elder, to attend the release of the American Indian coin at the Denver Mint some years ago (2003?) to offer prayers over the event. When it came time to offer his prayers he had me address all the cameras and instruct them to turn off all electronic video and recording equipment. There was shock and awe in the room. The taken for granted behaviors were immediately arrested ~ they were no longer in control ~ and a listening descended on the room that was breath taking. So my life and communications are sacred confidential communications ~ private business and I represent no one other than my self ~ Father Patric Roberts. Thank you in the future to request permission before taking a picture, video or recording communications! Today the government is listening and violating our 1st admendment of privacy based on fear of terorrism! What an emotional contradiction do you call that?
My Offer to Wiser Earth Community
The Kaos Pilots caught my attention last night and I think they are on to becoming the living heart pump of learning, innovation and realization in the Wiser Earth community that our world really needs. A learning environment that is radical, virtuous and authentic project oriented desiring human justice, indigenous people involvement, and innovative solutions to complex concerns we face. I am committed to demonstrating and supporting radical restraint within unrestraint growth in modernity both in spirituality and business design activities that invent a new future together. I was excited by the videos and wish I was young enough to spend a year in one of their group learning project teams. My assessment is that my attention and will is going to be required in current systemic discourses and institutions where I currently have indignation for roles, standards and practices. I invite you to help me today to keep my eye on what is dearest to my heart as a human being, father of children and servant leader with no formal deffiniton in any institutional discourse. I am free spirit horse that runs free yet knows when to return to the barn for nourishment.
Invitation to consider: 1) Co-Administrator ~ I invite Peggy or another in your community that is sincere and competent to be co-administrator of The Order of Earth and Maka Si Tomni and/or future pages developed that may benefit the Wiser Earth Community under The Order of Earth. I do not the attention or will to be an administrator today. The Clarion Call Emerge~N~SEE written July 4, 2002 and published here in 2008 declares the principles within the constitution of this new configuration. It is my intention NOT to solicit funds (all donations to OOE are anonymous) rather build a dynamic social entrepreneurial self~generated funding mechanism in networks of conversations as the to ensure long term funding and freedom of private individual expression. I intend to develop a office for The Order of Earth in San Francisco California. The people I was drawn to at TwistUp #6 July 30/1 were from San Francisco like Brian Solis Future Works and his crew. Plus Teja Bell is Director General of The Order of Earth and lives in Petaluma CA.
2) 13 MOONS Sustainability Project ~ An artist by the name of Domingo Domingo is the Master of Master Artists in Color and New Forms of feminine and masculine expressions that represent the Great Work in The Order of Earth and is the primary artist for beginning to invent a radical creative revolution of wisdom, values and initiation for in elder wisdom on the planet. The endeavors of your entire body of committed participants can join together in local fund raising and share in the unfoldment of what I call 13 MOONS Sustainability Artistic Sculpturing Project. I submit that the new value system arising in this self-generative autopoietic radical revolution is reverence in the artfulness of living consciously in our practical daily lives and concerns. Every narrative has the potential, no matter what age, to be a heart~felt~song expressing intimate human realization to surrounding family, community and world. I have a design strategy for a monthly 13 Moon Sustainability Auction happening every new moon with live reality TV programming moving from one place to another growing the space of reflection on what brings us together not tears us apart. A way to fuel innovative solutions and ground mood of joyful concern in global solidarity as virtuous citizens.
3) Global Santiago Way Pilgrimage 2010 ~ I intend to circumvent the planet in March 2010 inviting indigenous elders and diverse traditions to gather around the fire of imagination! We are walking in grace and how this will unfold today is uncertain as we begin to meet wise elders on reality TV. Prayers, eat together, sing and dance with children from around the world joining in the learning experience and learning via a real time pure play reality TV program. What if WE elected One Elder a year on a recurring basis for an advise and consent role in the affairs of our humanity. This pilgrimage is Not flying rather cruising on a walk, ship, like a bee hive gathering and being energized by a new mood of joyful concern for the future. And through this living circularity let a new pattern begin to spin a new Summa story regarding being in natural law, spirituality, entertainment, news, servant leadership and stewardship in caring, feeding and nurturing the earth, its people and community solidarity as a global family.
4) OOE FREE 21st CENTURY UNIVERSITY ~ These visions are just my initial primaries in regards to The Order of Earth. Once an administrative staff of a few people (7) is self-funded I offer that the possibility for developing a new communication & management platform can be developed that connects human commitment in diverse domains of professional endeavors is the next step. Learning in the future is about knowledge, wisdom and practicum simultaneously in a living universe NOT a dead one. Learning, health and well being and innovative generative solutions can happen by shifting global paradigms that in this moment seem impossible. The university I envision is from birth through death and is free. The free university is an incubator for every narrative emerging within a coherent cohesive design strategy learning to be valued in our immediate permanent human concerns in their personal lives and as a global virtuous citizen on earth. The future is about valuing MULTIVERSES within a LIVING UNIVERSE as a unified singularity of emerging human realization. An exciting and interesting possibility.
Thanks for listening to my concerns and considering this opportunity and assisting me in the moment in caring for my mission in The Order of Earth. I knew from the start I would end up at home in monasteries where the core revelation of life is revealed in its fulness silence, stillness and solitude as the greatest reflect act in human realization. I know I will be moving from one to another as needed in humility and servant leadership for the change arising today. Look forward to discussing these possible possibilities with you as time and circumstances permit and beginning to work together in a mood of joyful concern. Thank you.
May all beings be happy! May all beings be loved and well fed! May all beings awaken to find their ways!
Cordially, Father Patric Roberts Surprise Arizona August 12th 2009

thanks for paying a sight Peggy ~ please look on Co-Create Holistic Green Economy in global Palestine .. may be WE stuff can decide to assist consciously 21-century nation-builder. I believe peace in the middle east can only be reached by a vision for global Palestine build with post industrail-nations lessons .. All the world is looking at building Palestine. My Vision for global Global Palestine is extracted from my observations for the new human community is getting born. Why should not Palestine become a pilot ? To build based on future trajectories. If we have a living model this will be a reference to many nations ~ Imagine all the energy for mass construction can be gathered through sustaible peace in the middle east when it is based on new vision .. the issue that most of traditional 20-century politics is dominating, so that such a vision need lot of support and work. Please let me know what you think .. wael SKYPE wael.alsaad

Hi Peggy!
This is Daniel from Spain.
I have just had a funny realization that I wanted to share with you. Did you know that IBM's strategy for the following years is to build what has been coined "a smarter planet".
It is funny to see how you conceived the same thing just from another perspective: "A wisher earth" Ne doutez jamais qu'un petit groupe d'individus conscients et engages puisse changer le monde.
If everything goes as planned, I will have the opportunity to go to San Francisco and stay more time than the last time. I hope that this time we will have the occasion to meet.
All the best Daniel

To Wiserearth, Looking at Wiserearth I can see how it has grown a great deal over the last couple of years. The tenants of Wiserearth like the many people and organizations on it are all looking at somewhat of the same issue and that’s how do we become more unified in action across the globe. Which, the Wiserearth website now plays a role in. Over the last month or so I have been proposing out on The Zeitgeist Movement the creation of a World or Planetary Council that would have a unifying effect if applied on our world this is where all the known human disciplines could be arrayed into a non-hierarchical structure. Where as seen within the below link the arrows indicate the flow of information and the categories are in effect the human discipline structures arrayed across the council.
Do you think the World or Planetary Council idea as I have proposed out on Zeitgeist as seen in the below link is something that Wiserearth would be willing to support.
http://planetarydevelopment.com/worldcouncildesignone.htm
I would be interested in your insight on this issue.
Respectfully,

Bonjour Peggie, si j'ai bien compris vous etes francaise en Californie, c'est aussi le cas de ma fille ainee Celine, qui vient de mettre au monde un garcon Jao, apres une petite fille Fiji. Elle habite a LA, plus exactement a Venice et a lance une petite entreprise. Je me suis permis de m'inscrire sur votre site et d'annoncer notre ONG internationale, EVE-olution foundation Inc.. Gerard Bravo pour ce site, je suis certain que votre initiative fera certainement mieux qu'une grande organization gouvernementale ... |

Hi Peggy -- I am a filmmaker with a short (humorous) environmental film (about excessive real estate development in the Rocky Mountains) that has made the film festival rounds, and I'm now looking for ways to share it free of charge with interested folks. Is it okay to use WiserEarth to send it to groups that seem like they might enjoy it? Here's a link to the page:
Check out "The Lost People of Mountain Village" on Wiser Earth:
