Lionsberg History and Inception
Lionsberg Trust Manifesto
The Lionsberg Trust Manifesto describes the origin of the Source Idea for Lionsberg, tracing back to Jordan's early childhood.
Q1 2022
State as of August 2022
As we began the third 6 week cycle in August 2022, the state was as follows:
- The Provisional Structure was in place.
- The Lionsberg Core Documents were in a Provisional State.
- The Patterns of Organizing and Federating had been established.
- A few dozen people were actively participating, and several dozen more attending, following along, and waiting.
- Numerous partnership discussions and expansion opportunities were in play
- The Core Infrastructure had advanced far enough to begin creating marketplace and economy
- It was an entirely voluntary effort of good human beings, advancing in goodwill, towards The Goal
- We were working on Value Creation, and learning to notice Value as it was being created in-stride.
- We were beginning to formalize presentations of Value Creation - 2022.Q2 Presentation of Value Creation.
- It felt wobbly. It felt vulnerable. It felt exciting. It felt New.
- Some people had grown frustrated or impatient and stepped back.
- Some people had generated new enthusiasm and stepped forward.
- We had our first committed and blocked hours to apply to the Critical Path.
- We were preparing to establish our first Opportunities, Offers, and Needs Marketplace.
- We were preparing to engage our first extended Pull Planning session to see ahead into the Milestones and Critical Path.
- We had determined the Core Teams that needed to formalized and structured.
- We had network nodes representing hundreds of people watching and wondering.
- It was reported that the backbone technological infrastructure we had funded was being leveraged by ~170 impact organizations in ~13 countries
- Some of the most talented, skilled, and wise people we had ever worked with were surrounding us and investing time, energy, and attention
- We realized that in order to have a chance to succeed, we need to move beyond the abstraction of the Meta Project into actually living it out and embodying it through Lionsberg
State as of Spring 2023
- Over the last 8 months, we released the energy swirling around the Meta Project abstraction, and focused energy on finishing enough foundational groundwork that The Lionsberg Experience could begin.
- In January, we set a 120 day plan that involved raising funds and resourcing a core team by April 2023. We chose not to begin fundraising, and instead focused on continuing to prepare infrastructure and articulate enough of the Lionsberg Vision, System, and Plan so that a team could begin building and resourcing The Movement starting in May.

Traveled to Barcelona, South Africa, and Dubai.
Ran a couple more social experiments. Learned some more hard lessons. Shed some more insufficiencies.
Constructed broadcast capability by connecting an online recording studio out to Youtube, X, and the leading podcast platforms.
We recorded the first 4 sample episodes and launched them in September 2023 as part of the Above The Chaos series.
- Purpose, Parenthood, Proper Order, and Legacy - Jordan Nicholas & Bill Larson - EP 1
- The Corruption of Church and State - Jordan Nicholas & Bill Larson - EP 2
- Our Journey Towards Lionsberg - Jordan Nicholas and Bill Larson - EP 3
- Food Security, Chemical Ag Wars, and Planetary Regeneration - Klaus Mager - EP 4
In Q3 2023, as Jordan approached the statute of limitations on the civil rights and corruption claims arising from the destruction of 2019 through 2021 and prepared to weather the storms ahead, he moved his family to a new home base in the mountains of North Idaho, filed a civil rights and corruption lawsuit against the County in federal court, prepared to file bankruptcy to wrap the tens of millions of dollars of claims and counter claims from his old life in a transparent public container, and looked ahead to public broadcasting and resource raising.
Winter 2023 / 2024
During Winter 2023 and 2024, we allowed the last of the energy from the The 7 Year Window of Preparatory Work and Learning to finish falling to the ground, in preparation for the spring and the start of the 10 Year Grand Strategy.
We deeply processed and performed retrospection on all that had been learned during the last 7 years, while discerning the Critical Path forward.
Jordan and Peter Kaminski learned to publish and published a test book.
Jordan was asked to write a shorter book that could manifest in print form, and articulated Pass The Flame - Illuminating the Way Beyond the Meta Crisis.
Spring 2024 - Emergence Begins
We closed The 7 Year Window of Preparatory Work and Learning on February 29, 2024, and opened the 10 Year Grand Strategy on March 1, 2024.
After the first Lionsberg Invitation extended met with a 70% to 80% acceptance rate in early March, a New starting point was at hand and Jordan went on the first segment of the Above The Chaos tour to gather additional commitments and support.
By mid April 2024, Cycle 7 of the Lionsberg Cycles of Growth was completed, demonstrating the viability of The Tree / The Body that was emerging from The Golden Seed.
From that point on, The Story will evolve into a Story of Stories as the Lionsberg Co-Creators coalesce into a unified Force For Good and collaborate to transform their lives and their world, while Passing The Flame to Future Generations.
What's Next
Next, we intend to begin measuring the rate at which we are able to connect up, resource and empower The Movement towards The Goal.
The simplest way to measure The Movement will be to monitor emergence via the Lionsberg Cycles of Growth and Lionsberg Cycle Time.
Our audacious target is to connect and empower roughly 3% of the population, ~250 Million Co-Creators, by 2026.
We aim to progressively realize this Vision and Ideal by:
- Progressively discerning, articulating, and embodying the Creator's Intent for Worksite Earth
- Broadcasting The Message to create a field of gravitational attraction
- Extending The Invitation to those who resonate (Every individual receiving up to 20 invitations during The 7 Year Window of Crisis and Opportunity to ensure no one Involuntarily Left Behind)
- Connecting, equipping, and empowering The Community of those who respond via The Lionsberg Experience and a continuously improving set of infrastructure, resources, services, and support
- Forging Groups and Teams around Meaningful Conversations and Quests
- Co-Creating measurable Impact / Value / Progress in service of The Goal
- Broadcasting Stories of Transformation to fuel the Resourcing and Engagement Flywheel and grow The Movement
- Ultimately moving the entire population FROM the Old TO the New within a single generation
Every individual and group that connects with Lionsberg will gain equal access to The Lionsberg Experience and the Lionsberg Commons, which will host an ecosystem of continuously improving resources, tools, services, and technologies to help participants rise towards the fullness of their potential and flourish in harmony.
Spring 2024 Experiment
The Spring 2024 Experiment proved that The Invitation was resonant (80%+ Lionsberg Acceptance Rate, only one firm "no"), and that the requisite Lionsberg Cycle Time could be achieved.
Nevertheless the Lionsberg Co-Creators did not become adequately Self-Governing, Self-Sustaining, and Self-Replicating, and since Jordan had restricted himself to only extending the first ~100 invitations, he allowed the energy to dissociate (Associative and Dissociative Energy).
Summer 2024 Processing, UnVeiling and Death
Through the rest of the summer of 2024, Jordan's Journey finally UnVeiled The Greatest Fraud, Deception, and Existential Threat in History.
By October 2024, his Old Life was over.
Jordan's Final Report is here: Existential Threat - Reporting Back From Battle.
November Resurrection and Rebirth
In November 2024, What We Are Becoming rose from The Ashes...
Above The Chaos tells the unfolding Story.
