PurposeFinder #7

1. 1. Person: What do I value? Who do I want to be?

I value truth, love, life and peace. I want to live a life of service that shifts the trajectory of human culture from collapse to regeneration.

2. Passions: What do I love doing and why?

I love relationship; growing knowledge of self, making friends and working with teams to transform the inner and outer world. I love doing this because I believe that's what humans are supposed to do – our ecological function is to love.

3. Problems: What social, science, technical, and/or personal question do I want to answer?

How do we live in right relationship to ourselves, to our communities and to Mother Earth? How do we transform the vision and values of both individuals and institutions in order change the human trajectory from collapse to regeneration in every sector of human endeavor? How can we slow down in order to think in long, generational terms?

4. People: Who do I want to serve?

I want to serve the "T"ruth although I now I can never fully come to know the "T"ruth, only near and triangulate it through actively growing and challenging my truth. I want to love ALL.

5. Place: Where do I want to impact?

The inner and outer. Gaia. The education sector first. LA and the greater Golden State second. The good 'ol US of A third.

6. Pain: What am I trying to heal or positively impact?

The historically imbedded trauma and presently recycled suffering all people on Earth are feeling as I write this. The false belief in having separate identities and interests that causes to commit violence against ourselves, each "other", to our fellow species who are experiencing a mass extinction because of human belief and action, and to Mother Earth… we're even weaponizing Space now… sorry, Space.

7. Power: What motivates/inspires me?

The fact that I am related to everyone and everything on Earth and in the Universe. The fact that we're all family. The fact that we have the power to transform the inner and outer world.

8. Picture: What's my vision?

Me, chillin' at like 98 years old on my porch, doing one-arm pushups with my great granddaughter on my back.

9. Pioneers: Who are my models? Mentors? Guides?
