IntentionsandAims

Aims and Intentions The Global Dialog Project is intended to stimulate cooperative adventures which lead to beneficial transformation at the personal, societal, and global levels. Global Dialog will serve as a novel medium and intermediary to promote the communication and the creative expression needed to power us toward greater cooperation and coordination-- and towards a catalysis of our knowledge to wisdom, our fear to courage, and our apathy to action. We can publish all the webpages we want, but information alone is not sufficient - we need feedback toward our information sources, and the space in which to discuss, understand, and teach the knowledge and the wisdom which we each have. In sharing these we decrease the need for each person to learn all things, we speed up the rate at which we can learn and understand, and we can realize that there *is* support and recognition in the world for all those trying to better it. All of these aspects can counter the apathy, the cynicism, and the fear which prevents us from consciously choosing our direction as individuals, as groups and nations, and as a species. The Global Dialog Project does not subscribe to any single doctrine of religion, culture, politics, economics, or approach. All are welcome here provided they share the long-term goal of effecting positive change in the world, and are willing to respect the many diverse viewpoints as to how that goal can be attained. Like the story of the Blind Men and the Elephant, as individuals and as cultures we are only seeing part of the picture - and communicating our views is the foundation for seeing and understanding the 'whole' picture. Respect, tolerance, and a willingness to set aside differences in the interest of exploring innovative approaches to the complexities of our world, is all we request. Along with your contributions, of course!
