more.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Social sustainability is the
integration of all social aspects, which contribute to the sustenance and
stability of a society, such that there are no efforts that work against its own
continuation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>All social
enterprises, organizations, institutions and processes are integrated as a
whole, so that there is a whole-ism in effect where the social organizations and
processes understand and see themselves as integrated with all other social
processes and organizations to achieve this end.<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, most certainly.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The reality of a world that has entered
into the days of light and life is that all social components support each other
and support the long-term vision and goal of social sustainability, whereas in
the immature, un-evolved societies the social activities looks like a music
scale, it looks like a music… [This is <B>Daniel</B>:<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yeah, the staff.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Okay, we’ll use that word for now in the
conversation.] … so that your social institutions look like a music staff, where
the notes and so forth are placed on [or between] the lines, but in each case it
is as though there is a stack of these social processes and organizations that
each are doing their own individual thing, that they do not necessarily consider
how their work complements or detracts from the operation and functionality of
other social processes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>In a socially sustainable
society, there has been a thorough examination of all the assumptions of that
society, of all social processes and of all social considerations, such that
they have been thoroughly exposed and that there is now a new set of assumptions
for the society that underlies and provides the foundation to the philosophy
ideation and development of all social processes.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These assumptions are necessary to be
exposed because these assumptions, when they are erroneous to the larger social
reality, are the cracks and fissures that will eventually undermine a society,
whether it is a political process, an economic process, your social organization
or its process of governance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These
assumptions must be known and exposed and validated or invalidated as supporting
social sustainability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>This is a part of the educational
and indoctrinational process for all students and citizens in a society that
exists [in] or is approaching the days of light and life, so that everyone is on
the same page, so to speak, where everyone has the same assumptions, no matter
what their ethnic background or political preference or gender.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can have all those differences, but
it is necessary that everyone have the same assumptions that underlie the
functionality and sustainability of that society and community.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Does this resonate or make sense to you
to this point?</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, it does.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So as this situation of social
sustainability moves along, we get a situation where everybody begins to believe
the same thing, they have the same assumptions, so that there is an agreement
between people of differing backgrounds and nationalities, perhaps religious
persuasions?</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, if you were to pull out the
schematic for sustainability, as a sheet of paper in front of you at this time,
you would look and see on the far left the column of “values”—quality of life,
equality and growth—and then the next column is “beliefs,” and the next column
to the right is “expectations,” and then the far right column is the “criteria
or performance” that fulfills the expectations.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Under the word “beliefs,” you could also
put in parentheses, (assumptions) because assumptions often lie hidden within
your beliefs.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We expect these
things.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The assumptions are put
under the column of “beliefs,” and they are validated or invalidated by checking
them against the values to the far left column.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do these assumptions provide for the
social sustainability of a society?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You may question your national patriotism, your own chauvinistic
expectations for fulfillment as an individual.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You may examine all of these in that
chart, and you will check them against the values to the left.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If they support the quality of life of
everyone equally, and allow for the growth of everyone equally, then it is
validated.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If they do not support
the quality of life for everyone equally, and allow for growth of everyone
equally, then those are invalidated.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Let us examine the topic of male
chauvinism:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Does this support
everyone to improve the quality of life?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>As you look at the quality of life you realize that underneath the
subordinate qualities of the values is equality and growth.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Male chauvinism is not a validated value
or assumption that validates social sustainability, as it disregards children
and women and does not provide for the equitable growth of women and
children.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, you see that male
chauvinism is not a validated attitude, belief, or assumption in a sustainable
society.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is very typical of

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>If you also examine the
assumption of “adultism,” where adults are superior to children, and children
are lesser than adults, you would examine this assumption against the values and
you would see that the quality of life of children is not the same as adults,
because they are not treated equally and they are not given the same latitude
for growth and development as adults.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Adultism is not a socially sustainable attitude or assumption in a

can be examined through this schematic of sustainability.<SPAN

list all the activities of that attitude or behavioral assumption, and then you
would write the expectation that would fulfill or support those actions and then
you would examine the beliefs that support that, those behaviors.<SPAN

assumptions—and you would want to examine the assumptions—the whole process of
exposing assumptions is “what are the assumptions?”<SPAN

almost synonymous with assumptions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It is when you bring individuals together of like-mindedness,
like-consciousness, and then you empower those two to act as three, and three to
act as five, and five to act as nine and so on, so that when you have millions
of people gathered together in like-consciousness, who project their intention
for the world and project their intention through their consciousness onto the
world for right order.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It will have
a resounding effect in the development of the course of that world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>A remarkable thing about people who are
working together consciously to raise the consciousness of their planet is that
there is no opposition.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is
simply very similar to the effect of one individual trying to move a railroad
car that is fully loaded on a level railroad track.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is almost nearly impossible for that
individual to do so by themselves, but when there are ten individuals who push
together against this loaded railroad car, they are able to begin moving
it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The actions of ten individuals
at 200 pounds apiece may only weigh one ton, they are able to move a railroad
car that may weigh one hundred tons.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The parallel is that the loaded railroad car is human consciousness and
the power of concerted force by ten individuals pushing together provides a
synergistic effort to raise the consciousness of the world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They are able to do so, and it is
important that for this to continue [in] this movement, that there be
individuals whose whole lives are dedicated to raising the frequency of
consciousness of the whole world and they can keep it going all by
themselves.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then when more people
come into the rational, intuitive understanding of the work that is being done,
they too will participate and they will have right thinking that sustains the

global economists got together and realized that what they were doing as
separate nations, as separate economies was not supporting the economic
stability and sustainability of the world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

economic practices or decisions that were necessary to support national
economies, while supporting the global economy, and that they were
inseparable.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When they broke up
they went back to their home countries and began to practice making decisions
that supported the global economy and that also supported their national
economy.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Of course, you realize
that these economists would be criticized by the home population and home
politicians, because they were making decisions which were not totally oriented
towards that national economy, but pointed towards other economies as well.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The rationale that the economists would
use is that by solely making decisions or practices that are oriented towards
the national economy worked against the global economy that would [not] become
stable and sustainable.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so,
they would be able to eventually turn the opinion of politicians and corporate
leaders and financiers and the financial community toward thinking of the larger
economy of the world that must be served by these practices, which support a
sustainable global economy, which in turn supports and benefits national
economies.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is perhaps the area
of social activity now, which is more capable of becoming a model for global

that these are not separate, that they affect each other, and that the global

there would be practices or decisions that are made by local individuals,

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>CHARLES:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The “whole cloth,” exactly.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let us take another topic.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let us examine sustainable social
practices concerning birth control.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Birth control also means education concerning conception and
reproduction.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The sustainable
social practices concerning this would begin at an early age when children begin
to understand that there are girls and boys, that they are two different sexes
and that they ask questions about this.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They are given information at their level of understanding, so that they
accept their sexuality early in life as a fact of life and that it is a
responsible practice of their own to make decisions concerning the reproduction
of the species, between themselves and a partner, and that delaying this until
ages late in the 20’s or early 30’s is the optimum time to bring children into
the world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These individuals are
given further education and birth control medications or devices to use to delay
the conception of the next generation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is done not from the perspective of religion or politics, but [from
the] simple fact that sustainable social practices involving conception aids the
population control of a community, nation and the world, and that the economies
and quality of life are supported by making those decisions.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The assumptions by many
individuals from a religious or political standpoint is that the individual is
not responsible enough to make that decision, or that it is immoral to have this
information, or that this information would be used by sexually active
individuals to become promiscuous.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>However, it has been largely seen that objective sexual information and
the availability of birth control devices and medications does not necessarily
increase promiscuity, but it does promote responsible sexual activity and the
delay of procreation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Responsible
social practices are the area of human behavior that is common to everyone and
is under the philosophy of social sustainability.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It has its own responsibilities outside
of any other belief system.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is a
belief system, a system of practices that benefits everyone equally, so that the
individuals are able to grow.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do
you glean the fundamental core values of sustainability in my verbiage,
sir?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>(<B>MMc:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, I do.)<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>So that you begin to think in
terms of social sustainability, always you go back to the core values.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are examining the behaviors, the
expectations, the beliefs and assumptions and then compare them against the core
values to see if they are validated and socially sustainable, or not.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you begin to think this way, you
begin to orient all your thinking towards this long-term goal of bringing your
civilization into the days of light and life, where it is socially sustainable,
whether it is the economy or whether it involves procreation, or
governance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“Cultural creatives” are individuals who
are leading your culture into more rational, responsible, sustainable ways.<SPAN

they are individuals as Wayne Dyer; they are individuals as Erich Fromm; they
are individuals as Albert Einstein, Robert Schweitzer, Barbara Marx Hubbard and
many others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These are individuals
who live inside the box and think outside the box.<SPAN

their culture and think about what works and to lead other individuals forward
into directions that are productive and helpful for their society.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They are, in fact, creating the new
culture.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These positive cultural
creatives, are all constructive, conservative, and bring about improvements in
your culture.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are also
“cultural destructives” who exist to deconstruct your societies.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Cultural creatives are those
individuals who bring about positive change to themselves, their families, their
communities.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many individuals who
are cultural creatives bring about positive creative changes to the whole
world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You do not need to be a
Mahatma Gandhi or Mother Teresa to be a cultural creative; those are simple
examples and models of persons of cultural creatives of global magnitude, and
who affect all humankind, even those who live outside the genre of those
thoughts.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Mother Teresa has had a
tremendous influence upon the Hindus, the Christians and even the
Communists.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>She provided a way of
thinking which is specific to everyone and specific to each individual.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Cultural creatives are those
individuals who are making a positive effort to bring about the best of
humankind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This may be a homemaker
at home who has an idea that can be useful in schools, and so goes to a school
to share her idea and makes an impact on the curriculum of teaching techniques
of some teachers, for instance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It
may be an individual who has had an awareness or insight who has had a profound
understanding of the global nature of humanity in the universe and the effect
that one planet may have upon the whole universe, or it may be one individual in
a community who says, “We must make a change, must make an effort.”<SPAN

going to head the design teams, but also the people that are working the design
teams, working with the three core values on the schematic for sustainability,
if they are conscientious in their questioning of the assumptions and
discovering truisms, are going to do more than just that.<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, cultural creatives are usually
self-generative in nature and they have that “Ah-Ha” moment, they have an
insight and they have the motivation and curiosity and the capacity to ask
meaningful questions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Cultural
creative techniques can be learned.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They can be taught and they can be learned by others.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You do not have to have a specific
individual capacity that is innate to yourself and is self-generative.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can have all of these qualities, but
when the cultural creative or someone around you brings you into their awareness
and expands your consciousness then you become a cultural creative.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The most critical part of our work is to
begin to have cultural creatives have that “Ah-Ha” moment where they understand
what we are talking about, and then are motivated to initiate their own local
community design team, and teach people how to use that and explore it.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They begin to examine their assumptions
and their “Ah-Ha’s” and come to some truisms, and then seek others who are doing
the same thing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>As much influence as all the new

world will not be healed by miracle or divine fiat, but by the co-creative
participations of individuals.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We
are coming down to that place where it requires an individual practice of social
sustainability by an individual who is motivated to believe that they can have
an impact on the world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These are
individuals who have the assumption that they are sons and daughters of God, and
are like-wise empowered, as God has empowered his Creator Sons, and can do

share that with other organizations.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

the highest reward for its own doing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
