The Age Of Reason Is Back

At last also Joe Samsen has been able to make it through.

Sophia.jpe

The software and tools that had piled up inside his Mac had been preventing him from being able to install new software and even to access reliably our sites. So Joe has had to delete and throw away most everything he had on his Mac. This is what he wrote me this morning:

" I apologize for not keeping you more updated on my situation, but I didn't reply to you messages because I pretty much erased all the old applications on my computer and updated them.

Internet explorer, Mozilla, Stuffit Expander, getting rid of years of old junk, etc. While doing this I was out of touch with the internet for a few days, so I never received the e-mails. I should have informed you, so you would know that I was off the Internet, and I do apologize. I'll make sure something like that doesn't
happen again.

This is just a quick e-mail as I am now spending my time in the Forum reading with great interest all of the posts and your responses. ( I love Zoe's suggested site title "Operation Red Pill." I use that reference
myself in my recently published book, The Gathering. Taking the "red pill" and waking up to the truth or taking the "blue pill" and going back to Matrix-sleep.

In Native American Indian cultures, waking up to the truth, seeing all that is to be found in a multi-dimensional reality, was known as "following the Red Path."

Anyway, I'm formulating my direction and focus in the Forum and will post it today (Sunday) but with the different time zones I'm not sure when you will read it -- Sunday or Monday.

Struggling to play catch-up

Joe"

Joe has indeed already posted his excellent content inside the CA Learning Hub forum and my feedback and comments are also there floating for tohers to comment before we crystallize them.

It looks that he really made it at the last second.

Isn't it great?

Thanks Joe for being with us in this great journey that awaits us.

Habemus Communication Agents!

Finally the road looks ready to be downhill for a while. The work devoted to discuss applications and to review each applicant goals and mission has been very demanding and not privy of surprises.

The actual application and the Step 1 Focus processes have allowed me to filter those applicants dedicated to the core Communication Agents cause from those that were enthused by our spirit and approach but who did not have qualifying statements and plans about how they would have fit in and contributed to this whole project.

Some of our original applicants had difficulties in finding sufficient time to respond or interact with me, realized they did not share the same point of views celebrated in the Areas for Change document or had technical problems that prevented them from being fully able to access this program.

With much regret I have had to let go great communicators and talented activists of the caliber of Leo Rebello, Emma Hollister, Klaus and Gabi Rudolph, Fernanda Ibarra and Diane Kramer Ph.D. who excitedly tried to join our group in the last two weeks. I am very sorry not to have been able to bring in all of these people in this first group of unique Communication Agents.

Each one of them is indeed a uniquely talented communicator and not being able to provide them with the means and know-how that would extend their reach, visibility and ability to affect positively change is definitely felt like a defeat. In my heart though, I have not closed any door to anyone, as each one of them, has clearly received a message stating that I would indeed be very happy to have him or her on-board as soon as the reasons and obstacles preventing our present partnership will be naturally removed.

I look forward therefore to see some of these very talented persons come back recharged and inspired by the achievements and discoveries that the first group has already started to make.

I am very happy on the other hand, to have arrived at the end of this process and to find next to me a small but rock-solid group of excellent minds ready to start collaboratively learning the art of making (social) waves.

I am very gratified indeed with the group I am ending up with and without being overly self-indulgent I do feel that this is going to be a very powerful team of Communication Agents. Time will certainly speak better and more clearly in support of this, but you can already see from the initial achievements and records set by the three pionerring CAs how much promise this social communication program reserves for those who do have something to say to the world.

It is in this light that I am particularly happy to announce the final graduation to full CA learning participants of two very unique communicators and social-changers of our time:

Andrea rieniets from Australia, who has indeed been the very first applicant to become interested in the CA Initiative, before I had even fully developed the idea, and ZigZag, aka Luigi Bertuzzi, from Italy, who has been providing intellectual commentary and supportive ideas throughout our initial development process.

Andrea is an artist, a musician, a social activist and a true, real-thinking person. She has a good brain and she can make it work well.

This morning I have had a two-hour online conversation with Andrea, and I came out of it completely exhilarated by her synchronicity with our topics and her unique positive viewpoint and attitude toward what needs to be changed.

It was immensely enjoyable going through the Areas for Change she will indeed address and seeing how much of her own life she is bringing into this, bridging effectively personal, collective and universal issues in a mission that can only payback across all the fronts Andrea is already engaged in.

I must say, in full sincerity, I am very proud of having Andrea with us. She will be by herself a tremendous change force and I can already sense the unique advantage she will get from her unique feminine sensitivity and from the fact that she is still a true rebellious free-spirit, seeking self-expression, craving understanding and open to learn from others with truthful questioning and wide open ears.

I wish Andrea could directly express herself here about the sensations and discoveries she has gone through while talking to me this morning as, I am sure, her personal uncontrived and natural voice could say lots about who Robin really is and where it is indeed taking this group of brave agents of change.

ZigZag, aka Luigi Bertuzzi, is a surprise addition to our group as I had long misperceived his talent and skills and had also underestimated his ability to overlap his know-how with our goals for deep social change. ZigZag had always seemed too much concerned with the organizational side of change inside enterprise or corporate-like entities, leaving me with few hooks as to where he could have positively complemented our efforts in the Areas for Change.

I have had a long online live conversation with ZigZag yesterday for my first time, and to much of my surprise I have found a person seriously wanting to support our efforts, and in tune with the fundamental objectives of our Initiative. I have also found an intelligent and articulate person willing to contribute by providing a special support and experimentation role that should create better synergy and the production of useful outcomes from some of the collaborative work we will do online.

ZigZag has offered himself to be an "editorial coordinator" for our first collaborative Manifesto. A document, originated and edited by all of the Communication Agents and designed to provide the basic foundations, principles, best practices and ethics that will shape our evolving modus operandi in the transformative social transformation process we are embarking on.

Luigi argues that change cuts across all of our areas and that conscious efforts must be made to harmonize and facilitate synergistic and harmonious transformation across all of them. We have therefore agreed of testing and experimenting his skills and willigness to contribute to the CAI project in a significant way by appointing ZigZag as coordinator of a special collaboration facility that we will soon start to use to edit and develop the above described Communication Agents Manifesto. Luigi will help us reflect on our own thoughts and will be gently suggesting and facilitating concepts and ideas that could bridge the differences that may exist among some of our point of views. More than anything Luigi wants to augment our ability to synergize together as a group by facilitating and nurturing our direct colllaboration efforts.

I have given my trust to Luigi and accepted his plan within our mandate. I am curious to see the outcome of this experimental partnership as well. Welcome on board royal eagle!

As of today this is my final official list of the first group of Communication Agents at work:

Chris Gupta - Share The Wealth
Sepp Hasslberger - Health Supreme
Ivan Ingrilli - Grillo Parlante

Zoe Lenska
Sebastian Fiedler
Andrea rieniets
Luigi Bertuzzi

Starting on Monday we are setting up the new four sites and during the following days each one of them will start to post in Limbo state. Within a week at the most we shoul be able to see some flowers bloom.

My best water to all of you, wonderful sprouts!

Crusaders Against The Killer Waves

norman_3.jpe
http://www.nrpb.org/recent_articles/2002/july/article_2.htm

I am very honoured and proud to introduce the newest officially accepted applicant to the Communication Agents learning program.

Klaus and Gabi Rudolph, from Germany, join the ranks to give extra reach, power and visibility to their untiring communication campaigning which they have been bringing successfully forward through the Citizens' Initiative Omega, their small non-profit initiative.

Klaus and Gabi are uniquely motivated change agents and when they need to explain the spirit that fuels their efforts they like to refer to Charles Lindbergh's statement in a 1973 speech that - all the achievements of mankind have value only to the extent that they preserve and improve the quality of life - and Anne Morrow Lindbergh's expression in her book "Earth Shine", that power over life must be balanced by reverence for
life.

Here is what they say about their motivation about coming into this initiative:

"We can imagine that we as Communication Agent can spread the word to an even greater public and to have as a consequence greater impact for our ideas: to collaboratively create a better world.

And yes, Klaus have understood correctly. The Communication Agents Initiative is all about learning how to get extra reach, visibility, exposure and impact, in ways that are not normally apparent nor easily accessible to most people.

Klaus and Gabi experienced on own body what the EMF radiation is doing to people, animals and nature and therefore we are totally dedicated to inform the public about the dangers of the electromagnetic pollution and other matters, concerning protection of environment and a better world.

radiationsymbol.jpe

They live at a distance of about 300 meters of 4 mobile phone antennas at the water reservoir in Schöllbronn in Ettlingen, Germany. The units were constructed in a short time beginning in February of 2000. With the erection of the mobile radio-unit, began for us a terrible sorrow time.
http://www.bariumblues.com/klaus_%20rudolf.htm

We provide our reader with the latest information about dangers through electropollution with describing of personal experiences, science research, EHS sufferers, protection of environment, actions, and to the anti-war movement.

When you look at the information that Klaus and Gabi distribute through their valuable BI Omega - Citizens' Initiative Omega email-based, all text newsletter, coming from around all around the world, you can clearly see that these principles are in danger to be destroyed and to soon vanish.

We seek to support present and future generations in working toward such a balance, that we may "...discern nature's essential wisdom and combine it with our scientific knowledge..." (Charles A. Lindbergh) and "balance power over life with reverence for life" (Anne Morrow Lindbergh). That's our goal to help to this vision through information what is not right and what disturbs the balance of the reverence for
life and to support those in mankind and nature who are treated bad around the world. http://www.grn.es/electropolucio/00omega.htm

They send the EMF-Omega-News as a rule daily to citizen initiatives, scientist, physicians, well-being practitioner, lawyer, politician, organizations, building biologist, press, advertising papers, portals
and so on. An edition appears also in German language (Mobilfunk(cell-phone)-Newsletter). http://starmailgermany.tripod.com/

Both newsletters are sent to EMF interested people. Actually Klaus and Gabi send out on a daily basis about 2000 newsletters to the German speaking subscribers, and about 3000 to international addresses.

Why Should The Church Have All The Good Songs?

Also on-board our Communication Agents ship has just arrived colorful and lively Andrea from Australia bringing the spirit of artistry, music and of live performance to our unique group.

andrea_rieniets_live4.jpe

Andrea had a childhood fascination with music, fixing lawn-mowers, practicing handballing with the footy and wood-chopping. Andrea then turned that energy to theatre studies majoring in Jazz drumming, opera singing, choir studies and theatre practice.

Andrea has composed/produced and musically directed scores for twenty-four theatre and video productions. She has worked with the State Theatre Company, Vitalstatistix National Production House, Snakehouse, Contemporary Music Events, Adelaide Festival of Arts, Melbourne Festival and South Australian Opera. Andrea is the first composer/musician to be a guest of Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions on a re-supply vessel to Macquarie Island.

Here is what Andrea originally wrote to me in her first contact:

"Luigi,
thankyou for your great site. I'm Andrea rieniets (spelled lowercase due to a German tradition). I am a musician and cultural communicator in Australia. Your information is really well set out and I am recommending it to friends and peers.

I am in need of a mentor for a major project I'm doing with the Women's Circus Australia. We are attempting to establish a quasi commercial site to raise funds and profile of this not-for-profit community that works with strengthening women in their sense of personal power through circus skills and performance. Many of the women (though not all) are coming to the circus cos they are stronger than the abuses they have suffered as children and want to reclaim their bodies. Like many community groups they struggle through on low funding and poor resources.

I am looking at applying some of my learning in internet marketing (very new) to break the cycle of government dependency and aid them to achieve their great healing outcomes with more self-sustaining scaffolding.

Would you please mentor me through this very great process to get them online, automated and tooled up to succeed with IT?

Being a musician I am better with hearing directions and so am keen to learn about online conferencing and ways to have your great, clear thinking on this divine growth!"

Besides the Women's Circus, Andrea has looked into the Communication Agents Initiative mostly has a learning opportunity to master the methods, tools and techniques to become dramatically more effective through the online medium, as to be able to raise consistent funds and to create effective social campaigns and initiatives.

After completing the preparation of her official application Andrea wrote to me:

"It's been a great exercise in clarifying what is possible...and even the definition/application of a Communication Agent.

I was able to get to the point late last night where I thought 'Hell, I'm an artist. Gathering information and translating it is ALL I do!'

Whereas some of the other applications will be interested in having a platform for their thinking, I am involved in so much thinking and social change that I am looking for a platform for Dynamic Action and harnessing of energies to support already existing change-making.

What do you reckon?

It's brave in the context and challenging to many of the deeply held views and limitations within the arts community. If our artists are satisfied with limitations what can we expect of their art?

Want to challenge some artists as well as the world around them?

I do.

Everyday.

You Are My Sunshine: Meet The Great Investigator - Zoe Lenska

ZoeLenskabrand2.jpg

I would like to personally welcome and introduce one of the newly accepted applicants to this program. This is, as every other one I have accepted an exceptionally talented communicator and passionate change agent.

Born in Scotland and now based in Canada, Zoe Lenska, is an investigative journalist/ex-medical researcher and has been writing, researching and publishing at an inarrestable pace.

This is what she wrote to me upon my invitation to consider joining this learning and communication program.

"Hi Robin Good from Rome, Here I is...Zoe from Vancouver.

Thank you for inviting me to participate in this wonderful vision for humanity.

Herewith some attachments from my book now retitled "Health Care or Wealth Care" that answers some of your required info. I have corresponded with Josef Hasslberger, Emma Holister and Olivier Clerc.

A webmaster friend is putting in links to make it easy to read on the internet as an e-book or CD/rom book. The first edition had just under 300 pages and as you will see on one attachment was titled "Cancer is NOW Curable - Uncovering the Cancer Cover-Up - B17 Vitatherapy a Metabolic Treatment".

There are now 14 Sections each with several chapters and several thousand pages...haven't counted them all...am leaving that to the webmaster.

Robin, YES, I am ready to do this, because.... I want to oust the present corrupt money system replacing it with a cooperative caring Free World Order where Community Currency serves the needs of everyone..." There's enough for everyone's need but not everyone's greed" said Mahatma Ghandi. There's no democracy or freedom without financial freedom...

In l984 I introduced an idea that would hopefully bring people together to share humanitarian information cooperatively to better the world for our progeny and called it HAI - Hippocrates Advocates International. A network of autonomous individuals following the Hippocratic Oath "First do no harm"... to ourselves, our families, our patients, other nations, our planet and all its fellow dwellers.

We belong to no political party or organization and aim to inform and motivate the resources of goodness, creativity and reverence for all living things, in people, by accurate information and how to take non-violent action; teaching self-sufficient skills, trades, crafts, technology, co-operatively - based on the Mondragon worker-owner co-operatives in Spain and the Canadian Co-operative Colleges. We aim to eliminate competitive attitudes and encourage learning from each other.

We have been made dependent for our livelihood on an evil system of profit before lives in every part of our system: Drugs, vaccines, armaments, etc. are manufactured to gain profit and control... not for health or safety as the media - controlled by www.themoneymasters.com would have you believe.

Doctors are educated to prescribe artificial. patentable drugs, most of which kill, maim and shorten lives, Wars are created to sell armaments.

Competitive education (indoctrination) gives high marks for parrot-like memorizing, before independent thinking and understanding.

Tests are only useful as an indication of how much the student has not learned nor understood and where they can be helped.

In his book "From Here to Humanity", Richard Forsyth Ph.D says:

"We can change the world by altering the way you, the reader, see yourself and your fellow human beings. The way we see ourselves profoundly affects the way we conduct our lives". Modern Science teaches us to look on humans as apes with computers for brains. Not surprisingly, we behave one minute like animals, the next minute as machines. Mistaken doctrines about human nature would cause suffering in any age: in the modern era they could be catastrophic. While scientists are analyzing the human predicament as a
mortal struggle between an apeman and a robot, our political leaders are busily arming the combatants with weapons of mass destruction. This book is for people who are not satisfied with the prevailing orthodoxies of today, and who question the theoretical bases on which they rest. It is written in the hope that it will help crystallize the vague sense of disquiet felt by many thinking people and thus turn it into a motivation for positive change.

To demolish the dangerous edifice of misunderstanding known as human science by showing that something is wrong with our 'commonsense' notions about humanity, and tracing those misleading ideas to their source.
......

Robin, I am not computer literate and am somewhat techno-phobic because of this and though many have emailed that they share HAI's (Hippocrates Advocates International) stated values you Robin/Luigi in organizing this Communicators Agent project have amplified this vision beyond my wildest dreams. I would like to help in any way I can but need your guidance as to what way I can be of use.

I have sent you an email with list of Sections and chapters from the updated version of the book which now has several thousand pages. From that list you will see that I am interested in sharing information that
will bring about a FREE WORLD ORDER, rather than the diabolical NEW WORLD ORDER planned by the Bush, Blair et.al. predators and their eugenics beliefs. But IMHO freedom from the debt-based money system ("the plundering of the many by the few" who control the money) is the bottom line so Monetary Reform seems to me to be most important.

Many kudos to you Robin/Luigi for initiating Communications Agents.

Zoe Lenska

N.B.: Oh, you may wonder why the title "You Are My Sunshine". The inspiration came from the last omonimous chapter in Zoe's upcoming book "Health Care or Wealth Care". For a quite interesting complete list of all chapters see this page.

Skilled Talented Communicators Make Up Core Group Of Communication Agents Accepted

I am very glad to officially announce that Heidi Hanson and Joe Samsen have been fully accepted as learning Communication Agents for the next 12 months.

Also Klaus Rudolph of BI-Omega and Australian artist-musician-songwriter Andrea rieniets will be likely completing their application process today and I expect both to be fully accepted in our Communication Agents program.

Fernanda Ibarra from Mexico has also clearly announced that she will do whatever she can to be part of this.

Finally Leo Rebello has finally initiated himself his application process from India and Emma Holister from France has contacted me several times communicating that she has been overwhelmed by some sudden translation work to do and that she will be joining the group any day now.

Unfortunately time is limited and so the economic resources by which you and I can help support these uniquely talented commuicators. I urge therefore late applicants to waste no more time in making up their minds or in drafting missing sections of their own applications as I will be closing this first round of applications this coming Tuesday July 29th.

I want the program to take off in the first week of August so I need enough time to complete the review and acceptance of all applicants, assignment and evaluation of available sponsorships, and to prepare the work that you and I will have to be doing together.

I must say that I am very impressed and excited by the quality of the group that has been forming. Made exception for our first junior applicant Suhit Anantula, who has no experience whatsoever in social communication work, all of our committed applicants are first class communicators who have already long engaged either in professional training and communication or in actual social awareness and campaigning work. Suhit is already undrgoing an intense pre-training to see if he can qualify anyhow as a Junior CA that can prove to others that even without many years of experience, notable results can be achieved with this learning program in a relatively very short time. I have openly taken the challenge and I am at this very time working closely with him to see if we have any chance of pulling this through.

Your comments, feedback and questions are all welcome and appreciated.

Stay tuned for more updates.
