Vision de jour

What is my vision? Here’s another list to empower peace, love, joy, freedom and abundance

Peace – inner peace comes from actions aligning with my values, principles and commitments, and explore what social transformation would lead to peace in our communities and the world

Love – every moment is an opportunity to choose love over fear: love of ourselves, love of fellow humans, love of what we’re doing, and love of the human experience.

Joy – what makes me happy?  Accomplishment. Possibility. Connection (juicy conversations, touch and gazing in another’s eyes). Basically anything groovy.

Freedom to  travel the country and the planet making a difference, socializing with good folks, grooving on nature, appreciating art, absorbing cultures and listening to jams.

Abundance: Create some streams of income to enable that possibility and support aging with vitality.  Worry about scarcity and cognitive decline detracts from this possibility, so anything that frees us from both of those worries would be a win-win. 

Longevity – Grateful We’re Not Dead

My Game in the World for the Possibility Quarter

Build a community engaged in the inquiry about the possibility of changing the context for the quality of life of humans as they approach or exceed the century mark. We’ll look at everything from diet to DNA, fasting to festivals, metaphysical experiments to mystical experiences.

First couple of topics I want to explore are detox and dietary lifestyle changes to support brain health and longevity, and the there are two website I currently have registered the domains for that will address these: fearlessfood.org and fab4detox.com. That will probably correspond to two arenas since fearlessfood will focus on creating a plant-based diet that restricts refined sugar and refined flour while introducing intermittent fasting, whereas fab4detox is about eliminating toxins and rebooting the biological clock associated with aging.

There’s another arena that will deal with Native American medicine traditions for rewiring our neurology, and I imagine that will encompass everything from sweat lodges to dancing and may include some “sacred” substances, which I’m struggling with conceptually since I don’t want to compromise my recovery or clean-time.

That leads to another arena that centers around spirituality and mindfulness. It’s my belief that reducing stress and becoming centered is in alignment with supporting cognition and leading a more fulfilling life, regardless of your age.

The last area I already have on my map is exchanging opportunities for, and insights into, peak experiences. What I have in mind is travel to exotic locations, whitewater rafting, skydiving, massage, scuba diving, music festivals, exploring natural wonders, or basically anything that can blow your mind.

And it’s all open to negotiation at this point. I’m currently reading “Lifespan – why we age and why we don’t have to” by David Sinclair and “The End of Alzheimer’s” by Dale Bredesen. It’s likely that more will be revealed.

Flye to Freedom, Work from Anywhere

A piece of my next game is “Flye to Freedom, Work from Anywhere”. It’s not off the ground, and I’ll give you the concept. Partner with a bunch of IT folks that are tired of working in a cube farm. Create a culture of cheap or free travel using WorldVentures and shared vacation ownership then create a platform where we can collaborate on projects using all the latest technologies, allowing us to be geographically untethered. Employ automation and marketing to reach an expanding customer base and generate unmatched value. The end goal is a state of perpetual vacation where we get to play with technology from anywhere there’s wifi.

Or this was the game until yet another vehicle for this possibility emerged from my “Grateful We’re Not Dead” game.  What about circling the plant with hostels where anyone can drop in and stay (spend the night, the week or the month), bath, eat, meditate, garden, jam, paint and work to support the community. Don’t want to work?  Pitch in a nightly fee.  

So what is a hostel? https://www.hostelworld.com/blog/what-is-a-hostel 

The only thing really different in my vision is the “work to stay” model.  I’m not so sure that this is unique. When I mentioned this to Tina and Susan (Tina had Susan on the massage table at the time), Tina said I was talking about her wellness centers.

Man, does that ever fit into my Game in the World.
