How can we create peace within ourselves and the world?
How can we fulfill our own unique potential?
How can we create a world that is more loving, truthful and joyful?
In other words, how can we have fun without killing each other?
The 21st Century serves as a natural timeframe for building a dream, a vehicle for life in the New Millennium that will help transport mankind through the next 1,000 years in peace and safety.
Real Talk World is about seeing where we are, deciding where we want to be, and getting from here to there. It is not about right and wrong, good and bad, guilt and punishment. It is not about comparing ourselves to one another. It is not about comparing ourselves and one another to outside standards of being and performance. It is not about fear, separation, competition and survival of the fittest. It is not about seeing ourselves as victims and armoring ourselves against a hostile world. It is not about sleepwalking through life or taking it for granted by mindlessly following the “rules”. It is not about living by value judgment and being controlled from the outside, in.
It is about paying attention to our own unique experience and developing internal values over a lifetime of living and learning. It is about playfulness, experimentation and paying attention to what works for us and what works against us, what we like versus what we don’t like. It is about accepting our own unique being and authority. It is about actively seeking the qualities of life and being we value most, our ideals, and actualizing them to the best of our ability. It is about valuing our oneness as much as our individuality. It is about the value of YOU, ME and US. It is about surviving. It is about consciously changing ourselves and the world for the better. It is about living by value fulfillment and learning how to control ourselves from the inside, out.
An external value system of right and wrong, good and bad (value judgment) is to a child as training wheels are to a bicycle. They help us function until we learn how to walk on our own, or in this case, think on our own.
The following questions serve as a starting point for our discussion.
What’s going to work best for ALL of us? This question takes YOU, ME and US (everyone and everything) into consideration.
-
What’s going to work best for ALL of us in personal terms? (What’s the best way to fulfill our own unique potential in support of ourselves and the world?)
- What’s going to work best for ALL of us in terms of business? (What’s the best way to maintain the health and well-being of ourselves and the world?)
- What’s going to work best for ALL of us in terms of education? (What’s the best way for us to learn and grow?)
- What’s going to work best for ALL of us in terms of the environment? (What’s the best way for us to relate to nature and the earth?)
- What’s going to work best for ALL of us in terms of peace? (What’s the best way to relate to each other as individuals and nations?)
The growing collapse of our economic and social system (increases in the number of people in the world and in jail, homelessness, joblessness, food shortages, disease, wars, global warming, unsustainable growth and the loss of wealth), can be laid at the feet of putting individuality and self-interest (ego) ahead of oneness and the common good. A similar imbalance occurs when we put the common good ahead of self-interest. Why not create a system that valuess both equally? By giving equal value to both our oneness and individuality, we make it possible to cooperate, not compete with one another. And by asking questions that include ALL of us, we not only acknowledge our oneness and individuality, we acknowledge our individual and collective role, and responsibility, in co-creating our shared reality. Responsibility (accountability and self-development) is the price of freedom and long-term human survival.
How we define ourselves and the world around us forms our intent, which in turn, forms our reality.

arack Obama’s presidency began in hope and goodwill, but its test will be its success or failure on the economics. Did the president and his team correctly diagnose the problem? Did they act with sufficient imagination and force? And did they prevail against the political obstacles—and not only that, but also against the procedures and the habits of thought to which official Washington is addicted?
