first live sessions

Otto starts after the intro from Adam and the Wordles, 6500 replies, as shown in the last post . . . Course I have used Wordles before, there is so much that can be read into these, as so much is about words . . . now an example with Ian from CA with Water issues, trying to find new ideas! Perfect!

Next Otto speaks about how we each start with our own intentions, speaking about how it is to move into the "co-sences" moving into the co-experience we are in today, in this current moment of disruption we are experiencing.  They launched Ulab in January, 9 months ago. . . as prototype/experiment - - 25,000 participants, surprised by the self organized "Activating the dormant field of change."  Third live session in February, prepared for the closing, strong response was "you can't end now!"

We are "birthing a globally distributed community of inspired change makers" - - we need more, 4th live session in April.  Met with Berlin Team - - focused on making sense of this, what are we "called to do", where does this "field want us to do". . .

So he started a video with Edgar Mitchel (and others) talking about seeing the Earth, and how we need to care for it too. . . then posed two questions:
Connect with what touched you and turn the camera back on "planet earth / planet self":
Where are you experiencing a world that is ending or dying?
Course I have the answers that they put into a Wordle.  So what do I EXPERIENCE DYING?   Really seems like a funny question for me.  Having "been there done that," which really makes it a challenge for me to feel for others who struggle with grieving.  I've tried and gotten better with this, as my wife has been challenged with a few deaths.  I kinda see it as temporary, or really something that is an illusion like time and space.  Sure time and space are real for us NOW, as is death.  But they all fit into the same box for me. . .

So ME, "experiencing dying" now feels more like seeing what is dying around me.  And that is the old Paradigm.  The ways of greed and control are fast dying.  They are simply killing each other off, very quickly.  And the sad part is that they will continue doing this until they are gone.  So what do I see?  I see selfish arrogant choking all around me on their own desires.  It's something I tend to avoid completely.  But I see it around me, on the roads, in the streets, people and experiences others have in the old way of doing things that is slowing killing them. I wrote my brother again today.  Sent him some real news about how the press and media present what Business wants, not the truth.  And the truth is hidden and buried behind. . . Sounds like the New Soils Otto spoke about, where our seeds of Truth are well buried, ready to come up after all the greed scorches the surface!
I Experience the Dying of the old ways of living!
Next questions:
Where are you experiencing a world that is emerging or wanting to be born?
Funny this is about "where"?  That's kinda interesting, a place!  Of course, I am experiencing the emerging here where I am!  So it's emerging in Tampa Bay, and here at the Patel College of Global Sustainability.
Where something full or Love, Collaboration and the collective with people is born and growing real and true before our eyes.  Course I see this more now than ever, as our new leadership is far removed from the old paradigm or fear and control.

This lines up very well with the U-process Otto is talking about letting-go to let-come . . . by "tuning into our deeper source of knowing"

Begins by tuning into the inner leadership knowing, by opening up the mind, the heart, and opening the will to let-go and let-come.  To bring the emerging sense of self for creating a "new we". . .

So now is the really cool part, he started a meditation online for everyone who was there. . to do a "collective intention setting" . . . and this is when someone sent in a new note to the New Hubs.  Someone is San Francisco was traveling to St Pete, asking to connect here.  Course this is when I clicked into the first video and here was Otto making his Mindfulness Experience part of his course. . . course NOW I do it 10.19pm 9/24/2015 . . . "feel your feet . . . connect that you can feel downward . . . if we were trees we would have roots, but as people we can still sense this connection, all the way down to the middle of the earth"

YUM!!!  How cool is this. . . So when I got this email from San Fran I jumped to the current Live session and he was doing this meditation, "we all connect to the SAME EARTH, our HOME" as he says now 10.22pm.  But there is no time, so my work now is connecting to all then, as in my own intentions to be full in the space of connection and truth!
  • What is the highest future possibility that we as a community can step into?
  • What is the intention that we can set for ourself, and to out collective community?
  • Feel this intention rising from out heart. . . share it with us
And this was what I heard and felt as I got online the morning that it all started. And here is the Wordle they created next. . .

New videos today and I've not finished this post from the first one.  Course I wrote out two pages and lost it.  Why would such a program exist that doesn't save regularly or at least have the sense to store temp files in easily accessible places. . . feel like the cave-men are still running the planet!

Oh and Otto Ended the first live-session with this outline of the process, each step taking a week to do, or so...
