Above The Chaos, Road Trip Findings

Purpose

Following the The 7 Year Window of Preparatory Work and Learning that ended February 29, 2024 and the extension of the first invitations in March 2024, the purpose of the April road trip / segment 1 of the Above The Chaos Tour was to find the Wise Right People to complete Cycle 7 and expand the Lionsberg Movement out to at least 34 committed Lionsberg Co-Creators.

With that Milestone now completed, it is our hope that the tipping point strategy can become self-sustaining as each Co-Creator invites in the right people at the right time as the epic Story unfolds.

Frequently Asked Questions

After the The 7 Year Window of Preparatory Work and Learning, where are you at? What pieces have been articulated and built?
- 1. Thousands of hours of thought and dialogue around Worksite Earth as Whole to be transformed FROM the Old TO the New within a single generation.
- 1. Articulation of Divine connection, philosophy, theory, and practice via the Lionsberg Wiki and Lionsberg Wiki Books
- 1. Years of full time legal and governance work with dozens of advisors resulting in the instantiation of the Lionsberg Provisional Structure.
- 1. Creation of a backbone platform to connect and empower the Force For Good. ~10% of the capabilities surfaced into a user interface under the brand Open Impact brand, and tested with several hundreds groups in 50+ countries in MVP, Alpha, and Beta Phases. Public facing version can be seen at Open Future Coalition. A clean, unpopulated Lionsberg version exists and will be populated in a few weeks when we hit 30 to 40 co-creators and the next major update is pushed.
- 1. Creation of the beginning of a collective brain via a Memory for The Movement. This technology underlying the Lionsberg Wiki is built intentionally simple and "low to the ground" in anticipation of large sections of the internet being taken down or fire walled. It allows for the decentralized storage, retrieval, and updating of our collective memory of the New Vision and Plan, even during times of crisis.
- 1. Travel to dozens of countries and convening of dozens of advisors for over a thousand human-hours of discernment around the New Pattern Language and the New Operating System.
What pieces are still missing?
