[OSList] global self-organizing

[Harrison Owen]

Julie - The words sound great. But I am a little curious. Adi Da Samraj
says,  "The billions of humankind must become self-organized.  The Global
Cooperative Forum is the means for self-organizing the total population of
humankind into an effective single voice that can simply say how things are
going to be." 

 

Funny thing. I thought we were all self organizing.J Granted, we are not
doing it very well, and resisting a whole lot.

Dear all ~

 

I've been doing some research related to self-organizing and have been
inspired by the posts and links offered here.  I also continue to find
inspiration in the self-organizing principles and practices of Open Space
Technology.  I would like to offer some passages related to self-organizing
from Not-Two Is Peace by World-Friend.  Many of these passages refer to the
Global Cooperative Forum.  This is the mechanism Adi Da Samraj calls
humanity to manifest as a necessary aspect of a global self-organizing
system.  I've pulled sentences and paragraphs that specifically point to
self-organization.  The book in its entirety is available online at
da-peace.org or can be purchased from Amazon or elsewhere.

 

"The purpose of the Global Cooperative Forum is to ensure that the totality
of humankind, or everybody-all-at-once, is participating in a global
political reality, and demonstrating the self-organizing means for making it
right and keeping it right."

 

"....The only power that can deal with these powers that are on the verge of
destroying the Earth-world is everybody-all-at-once--meaning not merely mob
power, but a new cooperative system for dealing with issues."

 

"The role of the Global Cooperative Forum is to replace the absence of
systematic responsibility with the presence of systematic order and
integrity--a system that is self-governing, self-organizing,
self-correcting, and self-rightening."

 

"There must be an entirely new structuring of the human domain, and also a
process wherein that entirely new structure can actually be given birth."

 

"The old order will insist on its own persistence.  And, so, it is a matter
of the old order getting up one morning and finding out that there is a
Global Cooperative Forum instead."

 

    "Fundamental (or all-rightening) change cannot be caused.  However,
fundamental change can happen--as a spontaneous (and all-transforming, or
all-reforming) self-conversion.  Also, the necessary self-conversion that is
required for fundamental change to occur can, itself, be enabled to
happen--not by causing it as effect (as if it were already not-existing,
and, therefore, needs to be "created out of nothing"), but, most simply and
directly, by re-empowering the self-organizing integrity and prior unity of
the inherently egoless everybody-all-at-once that already exists.

    It will not be the role-playing of "virtuous speaking" that brings about
the necessary fundamental change.  Calling everybody to change does not
cause them to change.  Those who are already moved to do right do not need
to be told to do so--and, no matter how much advice and admonition they are
given, those who are not inclined to do right are not going to "change their
act".

    If there is going to be fundamental all-rightening change, something has
to require change.  Therefore, the world as a whole must be enabled to
require change.  It is an acausal matter--not a causal matter.

    The billions of humankind must become self-organized.  The Global
Cooperative Forum is the means for self-organizing the total population of
humankind into an effective single voice that can simply say how things are
going to be."

 

"The inherent collective and prior union that is the "everybody-all-at-once"
is inherently egoless, self-organizing, indivisible, and cooperative.  The
human world is currently populated (and self-fragmented) by billions of
egos--all deluded by various kinds of influences, and all dreaming of the
idea of being able (and even of having the necessity) to fulfill their
accumulated desires.  However, in actuality, the world-all-at-once is an
inherently egoless happening."

 

"Unless they are specifically prevented from doing so, all systems will
spontaneously righten themselves.  The universe is a self-organizing,
self-correcting, and self-rightening process.  All systems are
self-organizing, self-correcting, and self-rightening--unless something
interferes with the self-organizing, self-correcting, and self-rightening
process.  The current power-structures in the human world are actually
preventing the self-organizing, self-correcting, and self-rightening process
of humankind from happening."

 

"Humankind must organize itself.  No "one" can organize it.  Humankind must,
as a whole, animate the self-organizing force that is inherent in all
integrated systems.  The self-organizing, self-correcting, and
self-rightening force inherent in humankind as an indivisible whole--and not
any particular individual or group of individuals--is what must emerge as
the Global Cooperative Forum I am proposing to all."

 

Love,

 

Julie
