From Last Week

  • The idea of an ecosystem that has EVERYTHING needed for flourishing and abundant life.
  • The idea of replicable patterns - Pattern Language
  • Mapping / illuminating the functions of the (BODY / ECOSYSTEM)
  • The question for each function is not HOW - but WHO
  • What people or organizations are called to the complete functioning body / ecosystem that is lacking in nothing?
  • Deep listening and understanding... so that we can properly diagnose and intervene very carefully in the complex adaptive system of systems
  • This will help us see the opportunities / gaps / needs -
  • in order to begin creating a complete ecosystem - a complete house... A dwelling place suitable for consciousness to develop into the fullness of its potential and flourish in harmony.

Work, Systems, and Commons

  • arise, to align things baack to original design...
  • This is the way, walk ye in it...
  • Transforming towards the image and likeness of God
    • in our character
    • in the way we exist
    • in private
    • in the open
    • so we can be conduits of the FLOW of the Spirit
    • Be imitators of God...
  • Ablity to overcome the systems of the world without any effort...
    • not by power, not by might, but by the doing of the HOly Spiirt....

Spirit Time

  • We ended up spending nearly the entire time sitting quietly in the presence of God. Priceless.

Closing Reflections

  • Having this desire that God already had from the beginning of creation... flourishing... a place of flourishing... a place of harmony... a place of shymphony...
  • A future we would all like to thrive in... servanthood... pure love...
  • Phil 4:8 - whatever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, worth, praise - think on those things...
  • Speaking to the mountain - so it moves... the way... the system... the way of being... that enables us to be part of the flow... that moves mountains!
  • We must transform ourselves to pure love, for service to others, healing and lifting up the most vulnerable in society...
  • Amos 3:3 how can two walk together unless they are aligned...
  • Society has made us think it is scarce... have to get for us... greed... fear... an opportunity to partner itwh God...
  • Seek ye first the kingdom of God...
  • For me, I feel so at home, so safe here, a confirmation we are in the right place, doing the right thing...
