Update on my report that all the names from my Outlook address book got imported into my listserve. I thought I could remove people who never asked to be on my mailing list, but it turns out I can’t. If you don’t want to get emails I send to my listserve, go to the bottom of the email you get and unsubscribe yourself.
And welcome to new subscribers, who have come in since I made my last blog entry, plus some nears and dears who never got on the listserve whom I accidentally and fortuitously have added. Managing a mailing list is quite something!
I’ve been doing so much to market What on Earth? that I haven’t posted anything on my blog for a long time. For the sake of the newcomers, many of whom came in because of the movie, it’s been decades now that I’ve been creating events and projects that have to do with consciousness. Having started with personal growth, I’m now focused on the need to shift our worldview. Read the archives of my posts for some fascinating pieces I’ve passed along.
Having discovered crop circles twenty years ago, I’ve increasingly concentrated on them because they could evoke the biggest change in our sense of who we are and what we are doing here since Galileo took Earth out of the center of the universe. His toppling Earth’s dominance eventually took down a world run by kings and led to democracy and modern science. If the crop circles remove us from another dominant position, of being the only advanced intelligence in the cosmos, that humbling discovery hopefully would lead to experiencing ourselves as one humanity in relation to ‘the other.’ If we were one humanity as we engaged with intelligent life outside ourselves, we would be in the best position for dealing with all the challenges that confront us. As someone in the film says, “That could be what saves this civilization.”
The movie has been extraordinarily well received by our niche, and also by people who’ve seen it as skeptics and have left rethinking their assumptions. The plan for the film, in order to get it moving into the world as quickly and effectively as possible, is to do an Internet blitz next month. I am studying with a mentor, Marc Rosenbush, and have faith in the successful it will have.
A vital part of the strategy for the Internet will involve email lists. If you have a list of people who think outside the box and you would put out a blast for the film — perhaps in exchange for my putting out to my list what you want to say — let me know. And if you have suggestions of lists for me to go after, or ones you could introduce me to, that would be great.
