Hi Everyone...
I hear many people say they want be part of the co-creation of a new culture – a New Earth.
I hear them explain, passionately, how necessary and urgent this is...
But how can we co-create a new culture (or a decentralised, diversified, culture of cultures), alone?
My answer is: we can´t!
We have to get together.
We have to form “tribes”.
And this won´t happen by itself.
This won´t happen if we just carry on living the way we´ve been living...
*
I propose the principle I call “Radical Honesty” as a way of coming together, and staying together...
Learning to Live in Love:
The Path of Radical Honesty
I
When we fall in love
we see each other.
We see each other´s beauty -
and not just our physical beauty -
we see the beauty of each other´s being -
the beauty of who we are.
It´s joyful to see each other in this way,
and be-seen by each other in this way.
It´s as if we´ve been touched by grace -
and maybe we have!
We feel life is magical -
full of possibilities.
We feel a delicious eroticism in our bodies -
even when we´re not together.
And we feel a delicious happiness in our hearts -
whatever´s going on around us.
People look at us -
and they know...
“John´s in love! Just look at him!”
“Mary´s in love! Just look at her!”
We are in love,
people can see it.
We glow with love.
II
Two or three years later -
who is still in this state?
I would say:
almost no one!
Why not?
What has happened?
This is a very important question.
Because if we know the answer we can ask -
is this loss inevitable?
We can ask
is it possible to stay in love?
III
Well here is a radical, and perhaps challenging answer:
not only is it possible to stay in love
with one person,
it´s possible to stay in love
with everyone!
It´s possible to live in love!
This doesn´t mean being in an intimate relationship with everyone!
Of course not!
It means that -
just as we saw the beauty of our lover´s being
when we first met -
it´s possible to see the beauty of everyone´s being.
But...
Yes, there is a “but”!
To see the beauty of everyone´s being -
we have to first see the beauty of our own.
We have to fall in love with ourselves!
IV
This means facing, accepting and embracing
everything about ourselves.
Everything!
And we can only face ourselves in the present moment.
Because that´s where we are!
So it means learning to live in the present -
more and more and more fully.
And learning to manage everything in us
that pulls us out of the present moment.
I call this
The Path of Radical Honesty.
It requires commitment.
It is a path of self-knowledge -
because the present moment is a mystery –
and the deeper we go into the present moment,
the deeper we go into the mystery.
But gradually,
little by little -
as we give up trying to be what we´re not -
and stop pretending to know what we don´t know -
and let ourselves be what we always were...
then, then...
because you are in love with yourself,
and I am in love with myself -
when we meet -
we find ourselves in love together.
And even when we meet people who are not in love with themselves
we love them.
We come to live in love.

I´m sorry, but I just don´t see how people plan to create something new unless they´re prepared
(a) to link up with others, in a very deep way, and
(b) make some extreme changes in their behaviours and habits.
How to do this? Well, I have finished writing the third, hugely-expanded edition of “Love & Revolution” , and all the information to buy it as a paperback, or download it as a free ebook is on the homepage. I have also been publishing some of the chapters of “Love & Revolution” on the blog:
From Friends to Tribe
The First Successful Revolution
The Shared Path of the Conscious Tribe
Bonding and Becoming a Tribe
Conscious Tribes – Energy Fields!
The Conscious Tribe, a New Extended Family
And some sample chapters, the preface and the contents page of “Love & Revolution” are also available for free download on the homepage:
Please give some of your time to reading “Love & Revolution”!
Perhaps you won´t agree with everything – but I´m sure it will help you clarify how you want to act.
Because so many of us are eager to talk about the problems.
But how many of us are prepared to act to co-create new possibilites?!

Well that´s all I want to say in this Autumn Newsletter!
Apart from “Love & Revolution”, support continues to be available for whoever wants to explore the possibility of forming Conscious Tribes further – Monthly Zooms, Online Courses, Private Sessions, Weekend Workshops, and so on...
Please visit the support page on the website:

“In what direction is the human drama unfolding? In my opinion, and in general terms:
it is moving towards the rule of A.I., Bio-Digital Technology, Genetic Modification, Transhumanism, The Internet of Bodies and Things, Smart Cities, CBDC´s, Social Credit Systems, Technocracy, Eugenics, in short - just as the Judeo-Christian Bible says
“God created man in his own image” - I believe humanity´s leadership-and-led,
entranced by a vision of a Mechanical Universe, is now, at the outset of the twenty first century, seeking to create a techno-modified Mechanical Earth.”
From Love & Revolution, Chapter 25
I think many, many people would agree with this last paragraph...
So I leave you with this question:
“do you believe we can create a new culture (or “culture of cultures”) alone? Or do we need to unite – deeply?
Wishing you courage and determination, and close connection to your own heart, as the Autumn/Fall arrives...
With love and respect,
Mark.
