Building a wonderful world begins with you!
You CAN make a difference to change things for the better in the world today!
This is a wonderful article outlining how you can make that a reality!
Here are a few highlights from the article:
With our prayers, actions, and transactions, we have the power to shift energy away from those who misuse power and move it to ourselves and to those who are worthy stewards of our planet’s wealth and our children’s future.
The current financial system is centralizing political and economic power in a manner that is draining or destroying living equity—people, plants, animals, and our natural resources—as well as the financial equity of many people worldwide.
How do we stop a parasitic economy? We have come to understand that most instances of fighting or confronting centralized authority, or trying to reason with it, only add to its power and deplete our enthusiasm and resources. There is a better way—one that shifts the flow of energy back to us.
By shifting our attention, actions, and transactions away from a centralizing financial and corporate system, we increase our personal power, security, and wealth.
How exactly do we do this?
As we come clean, we live more joyously and profitably amidst spiritual and economic warfare.
As we each come clean, we withdraw the energy that we give each day to the people and organizations destroying our world.
As we each come clean, our energy grows, and we give new energy to each other and to the people and organizations leading the creation of this new world that is percolating.
As we each come clean, the world we envision emerges.

Create Excellent Health & Well-Being
We must take responsibility to govern and manage our health because the institutional systems around us are increasingly being used for agendas other than health and wellness. Excellent health and well-being in today’s environment require superior intelligence, risk management, and an investment of time.

- Get a health coach—or do self-help health coaching with your friends and family.
Create a Beautiful Home
A beautiful home gives you energy. This means that it does not drain you of time and resources. Move out of your field anything that is not beautiful, life- and energy-giving, and useful.
- Invite friends to help you with a spring cleaning.
- As you clean, de-clutter your house.
- Decorate your house with things made by, or which remind you of, the people you love.
- Identify all the ways that you can lower your energy, utility, and home insurance bills that improve your quality of life.
- Test your water quality and make sure you have excellent filters if needed.
Strengthen Your Relationships
- Giving priority and investing in the people we love and who love us is the most important investment we will ever make.
- In a healthy culture, men and women build up each other’s power and security.
- In a healthy culture, members of a family think and act opportunistically on each other’s behalf.
- In a healthy culture, members honor those among them who practice their values and lead toward the world they envision.
- Make a list of the people you love. Pray for them; plan and invest strategically in your relationship with them; be a blessing to one another; remember birthdays and other important dates.
- Identify the leaders who are building the world you want, particularly in your immediate area and life. Find energizing ways to support them.
- Withdraw your support from the leaders and the people in your life who are draining you.

Honor the Children in Your Life

Create Community
A wonderful world is made up of wonderful neighborhoods and communities. Think about what you can do to make yours wonderful, to increase the feeling of connection and belonging, to look out and care for each other. Connect to allies and resources in your community. Which people in your community have the skills and experience in the areas critical to your well-being and that of your family and community?
- Building a wonderful world happens one neighborhood and one community at a time.
- In a wonderful world, neighbors look out for each other, and there is a deep sense of belonging and sharing.
- Safety and well-being come from connectivity with people we can trust because they are ethical, they are effective, and they care about us.
- Service to our community in the form of volunteering is an opportunity to express our gratitude and give of ourselves.
- Ask yourself: Are you giving energy to the people in your community and in your wider networks who can help you build the world you envision?
- Who would you like to know in your neighborhood? Start making an effort to get to know them.
- What can you do to make your neighborhood or community more wonderful?
Value Nature
- All life—past, present, and future—matters.
- All life is potentially available as our ally.
- All life is a source of energy.
- Listen to and appreciate all living things. What can they teach you?
- Identify steps in your life to live closer to nature. Learn about permaculture and biodynamic farming and grow more of your own food. Plant more trees and spend more time barefoot.
- Identify steps in your life to increase your (and others’) independence from fossil fuel or unclean air, land, food, and water.
- Fill your home with animals, plants, and natural objects that give you energy.
Invest In Protecting Our Natural Resources & Infrastructure
Clean air, clean water, healthy food, cheap energy, and abundant land—these are critical to a healthy life. Yet these resources are under great physical and political stress. What about your municipal and personal infrastructure and tool base—is it in great shape? Think through what you are going to do to ensure that your family has access to strategic resources and tools for the long haul. Recognize what you can do as part of a collective community to preserve these assets for generations to come. Why let people outside your community buy up your local municipal resources when investing in them yourselves is an opportunity for you?
- Is now the time to insulate your house or buy a bicycle?
- Have you considered the benefits of teaming up with your neighbors to start a community garden? Has the time come to explore solar and wind energy or to dig a well?
- Better still, is there an investment opportunity to create such capacity for you and your neighbors?
Without a simple map of where we are, of The Tapeworm that we are feeding, and of how to withdraw and shift our energy, we forget that what we do counts. The deterioration of our living equity—our neighborhoods, infrastructure, and environmental resources—can be seen in every place—north, south, east, west—and it touches everyone, rich and poor alike. The dumbing down of the workforce grows as daily television consumption, which teaches counterproductive behavior, reaches frightening levels. What is happening in our neighborhood parallels what is happening around the world.
Coming clean begins one person at a time. As the lotus blossom opens out of the mud, coming clean begins with you and me—from the inside out.
But . . . I’m Only One Person!
Yes, you are only one person. If you are like most people, you are “voting” for The Tapeworm. If you want The Tapeworm to lose power in your life and your world, you have the power to change that. You have the power to shift your “vote.” Only you can do this.
Yes, you have a vote. That is how democracy and freedom work. It’s something to appreciate. As it turns out, there is a lot of leverage in how you combine your votes with others’.
When you “vote” with your prayers and meditations, your “vote” is leveraged by many other people who share your intent. Our collective intent is leveraged by divine intent when we are in alignment with divine love. Such love and intelligence are the most powerful forces in the universe.
The Bible says, “Where two or more are gathered in My Name, there am I.” This speaks to the power of being in accord even with one other person, when your agreement is leveraged by the Divine will.
When you “vote” with your money to decentralize political and economic power, your “votes” in the marketplace are leveraged financially by those who also vote in similar ways. Many people shifting tiny amounts of money can move markets because of the way money works.
A shift of deposits, and of purchases on investments from large institutions to more decentralized institutions (community banks, for example), can have a dramatic impact. Transact in cash as often as you can.
When our prayers and meditations are leveraged by our alignment with divine will . . . and this is further leveraged by moving our money into this alignment . . . and that is further leveraged by the multiplier effects on Wall Street . . . that is a lot of leverage!
Add to that the leverage that comes from shifting resources to honest media, and your ability to move the best people into local leadership or governance positions in organizations in which you have an influence—that is a lot of potential power for one person.
Now, all of this gets even more powerful when you realize you can do this in a way that gives you energy.
