Four Fingers

Share your voice in our Question of the Week and become part of the conversation that will transform our world in FOUR YEARS. Ready? GO.

Four FingersThe vision of a FourYears.Go Question of the Week is to ignite a conversation about what is ahead in our lives and in the world. We intend to spark your curiosity about your role in this emerging planetary moment. Deep inquiry can bring us each into full contact with our personal stake in creating a just, sustainable and fulfilling world, however it may be obscured beneath illusion, grief, conflict, paralysis or cynicism. We want to clear away the obstacles to unearthing the collective intelligence that we need to truly co-create a different world in four years, not just talk about it. We want to hold a conversation that stimulates, that disturbs, that lights fires and opens hearts and minds in every corner of this conscious living system that we are. Join us on this journey for the next four years. Every voice is welcome.

    The promise of the next four years is that we can galvanize global attention to the urgency of changing the trajectory of human presence on this earth from a net negative to a net positive. All issues may not be resolved, but the possibility is that we can discover what it really takes, discover resources we did not know we had to accomplish more than we thought possible, in our personal lives and in the world, to make that happen.

    Imagine millions of puzzle pieces floating around in space, not connected, but all so beautiful, unique and powerjul. In the next four years, I’m envisioning a giant cha-chink when all the puzzle pieces attach. Just imagine, the joining together of billions of visions/ideas/actions into one brilliant portrait.

    I see a cha-ching of some sort of puzzle tapestry already happening, a bit like crystals forming. In our Sydney Symposium’s we are networking, mutually supporting, promoting and engaging with like-minded groups and assisting new groups. It’s exciting, I’m meeting new exciting people, ideas, learning new skills and having a great time together. We recently had an inspiring planning meeting and a scrumptious dinner together. I’m happier than ever and excited about our future and no longer in dread of some looming disaster, it’s just so beautiful working together in forward thinking positivity. In my opinion, I’m enjoying joining together and whatever occurs I’m connecting with a new and wonderful family. Warmest, B

    I see a general movement of people realizing how we are interconnected and how we are all related to the planet. I see it as a movement of caring for things beyond our immediate circle. It begins by reaching out to others and increasing awareness of how we all affect each other. I also see it as a shift in thinking from self-preservation to group preservation, the human family. We can commit to not only helping ourselves but also helping others.
