Entering the Convergence Zone?

I am crosposting an entry from Aug 1 which originally was placed at "Integral Action in the World" Pod. The whole threas -with voices from Jikishin, Don Beck and Steve McIntosh can be followed:

As soon Steve has posted his follow-up entry from the meeting of evolutionaries -July 2008 -- in Deepak Chopras Center in Carlsbad California, to recount his experiences there, I will come back to this theme.

The last years made it increasingly clear for me to take into acount for true global integral action ALL memetic layers. looking alone to China/Tibet and Russia/Georgia last time leaves no doubt for me that Integral is called for uping the downside.too.

 

"I am crossposting this from the Sdi Yahoo Group. The newsletter is in bold.
Why do I mirror it here, in the section of how to introduce SDi to developing nations?

Because I see the necessity to adress crucial questions for the Cultural Creative Movement in the context of global developments.


This is from the newsletter of Barbara Marx Hubbard www.evolvingnow.com

Again the cultural creatives are mentioned. And the 2009 Networking
event in Washington D.C.:

Networking Creativity to Solve Global Challenges  http://www.worldforum.org/state-2009.htm

While I agree in many ways about the advents and events of the
converging and emerging realties there seems to be too much emphasis
again on the "rich green" movement. Again I am remembering the
reminder of Alan Tonkin:

"The basic split in the world is that around 70% of the world
population cover the spectrum Purple/Red/Blue with the other 30%
covering Blue Order, Orange Enterprise and Green Environmental
issues. If the UN was based on a Security Council based on one man
one vote it would become a Red/Blue organisation. Until there is a
fundamental shift in values the developed world is going to battle to
get Western style democracy to work however much they might like to
think it will work. In terms of our findings with the Global Values
Monitor (GVM) there are minimal percentages in Yellow Integral with
almost no Turquoise to speak of"

So I see too much bombastic tenor in this "Wheel of Cocreation" with
Ray, Garrison, Gore et al as masterminds. In exactly the sense that
the foundational layers for global breakthroughs are not put into the
spotlight.

Am I roughly wrong?

Isnt the memetic foundation work to be done in the nations themselves?

Once again aligning properly in healthy doses this growing momentum
of such approaches with the basic values of human consciousness seems
to be the more appropriate perspective.

I do not see any SINGLE convergence zone as B.Marx Hubbard describes.
But lots of them in the diverse confluences of the human spiral.

Heres to the Newsletter of Barbara Marx Hubbard:

"...

We have passed the tipping point. We have entered the convergence
zone. Everything that is arising is converging and connecting.
Everything that is breaking down is accelerating.

We have been projecting the transformation in 2012. It is happening
now. It began for me when Jim Garrison and Paul Ray joined with
key "wheel-builders," (those connecting various systems within the
whole social body) at my Wisdom University Intensive on Social
Synergy and Evolutionary Politics in May.

Jim and Paul presented Paul's latest findings on the rise
of 'cultural creativity' or cultural creatives. Building on Paul' s
work in early 2008 Ray and Garrison surveyed thousands of people from
all over the world to determine how many are "waking up" to the
values of cultural creatives. They hope this information will provide
evidence to many of the world's political and social organizations,
as well as to the cultural creative's, that there is a new value
system active around the world that when organized can have a
significant impact and even win elections. "They have a bold plan to
organize and mobilize a post modern renaissance..." quoted from the
current issue (Aug-Oct 2008) of What Is Enlightenment? Magazine.
...

The Design Team of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution has been
invited to work with them on a major conference in the fall of 2009
in Washington, DC to mobilize this vital community of innovators and
creators. There we will assemble a WHEEL OF COCREATION filled with
major innovators in every sector of the Wheel.

Jim just sent me his powerful GLOBAL CALL TO ACTION. "The human race
must wake up to the fact that our days are numbered to 48 months or
less before the global climatic situation could spin out of control
and undermine human civilization itself." We should join with Jim in
this Call. To read this important document Click Here.

Our crisis is a birth of a new humanity. We have been born and now
must take our first "coordinated breath" in order to survive. All the
forces for positive change are poised to be mobilized. During the
Apollo lunar landing there was one single goal that united the
greatest technological achievement of humanity: "Send a man to the
moon and bring him back alive." Now the goal is to "Bring Life on
Earth Forward Alive." This crisis is an evolutionary driver, perhaps
just what is required for synergistic convergence to work."
