    This year is a perfect time to mark as a period dedicated to the tottransformation of humanity. The conclusion of the ancient Mayandid not mean an end, but a beginning of a grand and beautiful AgPeace and Prosperity.

    In these times of crisis and opportunity, peril and possibility, deep foreand ancient longing, a race has begun. This is the race between the forcedestruction and total transformation.

    The Cocoons Creed

    I believe that amidst the darkness, crisis and confusion of my world, anew, wide and beautiful world is in the making.

    I believe that that despite my past behavior and my present limitations,a major transformation of my being is brewing.

    I believe that this crisis will lead to metamorphosis, this darkness will turn

    into brilliance, and the death of my old self will give birthto a shining and transformed being that is me.

    I believe that this painful process I am undergoing will only provethat I am powerful beyond measure; that I am a joyand a beauty to behold, and that I am a child of the universe.

    And thus I DREAM.

    In this wonderful sleep, I let go of the pain and I focus only on the dreamof my higher being.

    I surrender my being to let the Imaginal in me take command.I take courage to make the blind leap.

    The nurturing faith in all Goodness, in my spirit I keep;I treasure hope in beautiful things yet unseen.I give all the love of my heart in every beat.

    As my old self withers away,I let the Creative Spirit touch me and mold me

    to usher in the birth of my new self.My old world and my old self will simply become a bad dream that I will

    forever forget as I wake up a new being, completely transformed.

    So I open my new wings to reveal my shining effervescent Selfand embrace the whole world with love and compassion.

    I believe this is what the Universe designed of meand this is my unalterable destiny.

    I AM FREE.

    I am made of the dream of the universe,A fabric of love from Mother Earth I nurse,

    Believing in the best that humanity can be,Amidst injustice, pain, suffering and poverty.

    I will never deny my heart of what I feel,My mind can harness the strength of my will,My spirit is built to stand until the last,My body can adjust so challenges it can outlast.

    There are gargantuan battles waiting ahead of meA battle for the Earth and the light of our human dignityLet all those who stand for the light rise to the occasionSo a New World will be born in accordance to our Vision!

    Indicators that our civilization is definitely coming to an end:

    Our main energy supplyof the whole industrial

    world based on theinternal combustion of oil

    would last for only

    20-30 years.

    Our economic systems areunsustainable, where billionslive in abject poverty, and the358 billionaires who own halfof the world together with the

    worlds best financial adviserscannot solve 30 yearsof financial crisis, except

    through new wars to feed themilitary industrial complex.

    Our political system of peace and democracy is actually based on warand the constant threat of nuclear annihilation,

    where every nuclear armament owning countryare in a constant guard on who

    will be able to annihilateeach other first.

    Climate change is on adangerous upward path to-

    wards causing globalextinction. If we cannot

    redirect the burning of fossilfuels in due time, thenthe whole human race

    will come to an end.

    The gravity and global extent of our current crisis indicate thatthe change is like to result in a transformation of unprecedented

    dimensions, a turning point for the planet as a whole.~Fritjof Capra. The Turning Point.

    sig f a Gba Cii

    1. Our belief in unlimited material progress has led to a dead endwhere majority wallow in abject poverty while Mother Nature whois the source of all life is utterly ravaged.

    2. Our search for security and survival has led to fierce competitionwhich has multiplied global insecurity exponentially.

    3. Countries are all preoccupied with National Security to the point ofcreating global insecurity by creating nuclear armaments whichhave the combined capacity to destroy the earth ten times over.

    4. The promise of technology to improve the quality of human lifefailed. Instead technology controlled by the market created

    massive social inequality and threatening the life of the planetthrough pollution and climate change.5. The financial and economic crisis is not created by lack of money

    or products but by too much money used by the rich to make orbreak the destiny of nations and too much goods which theycannot sell leading to bankruptcy.

    6. We have had major scientific advances in genetic technology,quantum physics, space technology, nano technology, and roboticsbut we cannot solve the major problems of our age such as povertyand climate change.

    7. Counter terrorism has not only multiplied terrorists all over theworld but turned counter terrorists to be more dangerous andterrifying as their enemies.

    When the Yang reaches its peak, it recedes in favor of the Yin.~Iching. The Book of Changes.

    How o trigger a Planeary MeamorphosisThe Renaissance is an example of a planetary metamorphosis. The secret

    of triggering a planetary metamorphosis today is to create an OrganizationalMovement of Imaginals. The Organizational Movement of Imaginalsderives its inspiration from the metamorphosis of a worm to a butterfly asa metaphor for inner and systemic transformational change. The key to thistransformation is the emergence of new cells, called imaginal cells. They arethe new cells of the future butterfly. They are an image or building blocks inthe present of a future reality: the butterfly.

    In societies around the world, there are imaginal individuals who bearwithin themselves in the present, the future possibilities of humanity.

    An imaginal, displaying a minimum of four traits: Onewho has consciously developed, at minimum, beginning aspects ofPersonal Mastery including self-awareness, selflessness especially in onesmotive for action, co-creation with others, altruism, optimism (the capacityto meet challenges in a creative manner and thus never give up) and anunshakeable spiritual alignment with the intentions of the Divine Intelligencesthat are active in shaping the world or God, Brahma or Allah, in the languageof many cultures around the world; One who places this Personal Mastery in the service of the world in theform of an inspired initiative;

    Onewho actively seeks the creation of higher forms of collectivity and

    collective action (including but not limited to a synergy of initiatives) and,upon this platform, engage in similar activities in the larger social worldin order to birth a new societal order that nurtures imaginality and thusadvances true human purpose and dignity. One, who finds time, in addition to existing responsibilities and the aboveimaginal activities, to reach out and communicate with and be in the presenceof other imaginals, in order, among others, to mutually enhance the depth andeffectiveness of the three other dimensions of imaginality enumerated above.

    The key findings of Network Science provide valuable clues on how to dothis. The organization should have the following characteristics. Segmented: greatest latitude and leeway for local decision-making andactivity. Polycentric: multiple leadership at multiple levels of organization. Integrated: harmonization of the different decentralized efforts to ensurecoherence at higher and greater levels of organization. Network: seamless and continuous communication across all nodes.
