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...
