This is the dream -- all the "forces of good" come together. I want to explore this.
And it feels like this blog tool may make this much easier...

After I wrote that much, just a little pebble falling in the pool, I gave it some time -- and I came back to this thought about the "Portal to Unity", and how that might happen.
I've had deep instincts that this idea is a good one. Something like this thought has been in me for years. Way back about 1995, I wrote a long article and proposal with the title "The Concatenation of Motives". A wild idea -- the point is: motivations can be entrained and interconnected, to form a unified force.
And I am thinking -- that this is what we want to do. But what is the next step? Well, the idea that just came to me -- is simply to ask people what they believe is involved in these "forces for good". What is goodness -- in every field of human concern and action? On every point, on every issue -- where is the good? What should we do? What do YOU think we should do? What is important to you? What is "good" for you...
As this idea keeps emerging -- maybe what we should be doing is -- asking everybody to answer that question -- to tell us what is good, what they believe is good, in every way, in every area of human life -- in broad and abstract terms, yes -- but especially in particular ways. What is the good in particular?

December 4, early morning
It seems -- like I just have to write these things -- as a way of gathering what is emerging -- even if it does feel a bit confused at the moment. And why do things feel confused...
My instinct is - there is something simple, clear, and immaculate that is trying to appear. Yes, it's essentially an idea, just a vision, a theory. But it is a guiding light, and could be important. But I feel this swirl of factors around me right now. The concept of "integral politics" feels powerful -- even if other people are not using this term in this same way -- ie, "Integral Politics - The Politics of Oneness".
That part, I am pretty clear about. But -- how does this emerging vision fit in with this concept of the "Portal to Unity"? Is that just a badly-conceived idea -- or is it an essential of this vision? My instinct is -- it IS part of what is emerging -- in fact, it is the nuts and bolts, and actual plan, to get us there...
But I am just not clear on all of this stuff yet. I am telling myself to "pray about it". "Give it a little time". "Get this blog system programmed first, and get these pieces cleaned up and accessible..."
