Action plan to establish a social and civic grit for technology to serve the elation of humankind
This article is the Round II of the Protocol for Technology Serving the Elation of Humankind that I published last week and will be looking into what type of actions we can take to change the grit of society for the better.
We each interpret this protocol with our unique consciousness. The way each person has a unique fingerprint, we also have a unique consciousness and creative thinking potential. I am a multidisciplinary artist who has a passion for technology, marketing, intelligence, and creating cultural sensations. The creative ideas I come up with for establishing a social and civic grit for technology to serve humankind are parallel to my vision. I invite you to do the same. Please come up with your own unique creative ideas to change the grit of our society to enable technology, AI, and science, to be in the service of humanity. As we learned in #10 of my protocol, our differences are our wealth.
Who does not love Russell Brand? I cannot think of a more perfect person to be the face of this movement. He is extremely eloquent, articulate, aware, and is hungry to awaken the masses. We need better role models, like Russell, people that can call the BS on all sides and are currently looking/establishing a new way of human existence.
Open a Center (for Center for Spiritual Wisdom) in every major city in the world
Currently, at my creative development company Seyhan Lee, in partnership with brilliant minds, we are working to establish a Center (short for Center for Spiritual Wisdom) for every major city in the world. I know this is a big dream but I learned in A Course in Miracles that only dreams are real. We need physical spaces where people with like-minded conscious philosophies come together, exchange knowledge, and grow communities. If our education system does not provide a world view where the human is central and powerful, it is our honorable duty as citizens to start initiatives where we teach each other and elevate one another.
Appoint a chief wisdom officer in each technology company
This may be the step that is simplest to put into effect and with the most direct and measurable outcome. We, at Seyhan Lee, have a CWO (Chief Wisdom Officer). We make sure each project and script is read by her before the production start. She counsels us on how to communicate above and beyond duality. As a company that aligns the spirit of brands with fast-changing realities, we owe it to our partners to communicate their purpose in the most conscious and wise ways possible, benefiting the sum total of humanity, not only their personal gain. We also consult her each time there is a misunderstanding in the team, or when we think we are not in the right flow as a company.
I wonder how the company culture landscape would change if each technology company were to take our culture as an example? If you have any questions about how we placed this into effect, please feel free to get in touch with me, I’ll be happy to advise.
Establish a wisdom council, above all governments and institutions
Some say a council of 200 white men runs the world and that they are above and beyond all governments, all federal banks, that they own all media, all pharma, all junk and GMO foods, control farmlands, and education, that they start and end wars, control disease and suggest cures. I do not know if this is true or not, but nevertheless, it was the inspiration behind my idea to establish a Wisdom Council that is above and beyond all education, food, healing, use of funds, and governments. I am 37 years old, and I have never known another reality. I do not know what a world not governed by greed, fear, and control looks like? But thank God we have Star Wars to illustrate what another world would look like. Jedi (guardians of peace and justice in the Galactic Republic) have a wisdom council who come together for the execution of major decisions in the Galactic Republic.
What would these Jedi look like IRL? Spiritual teachers, wise elders of various communities, conscious scientists and technologists, humanitarians, and people who egolessly devote themselves to the elevation of the human race. If your mind is currently saying “ yeah right, the system will find a way to infiltrate into that and corrupt it just like they do with everything.” you are in the wrong thought pattern, my friend. Wherever we concentrate our attention is what we make it grow. If you truly believe in a Wisdom Council, you only have to concentrate your attention, belief, and faith that it will happen. From there the universe takes over and manifests that vision.
DAOs and investments in metaverse projects that unite and bring people to nature
You really thought I was about to conclude this article without mentioning metaverse and DAOs. Hell no. I purposely left it to the end as an exit punchline. Hype, opportunity, inevitable evolution, boredom, trends, revolution, there are many reasons why metaverse, blockchain, and DAOs are the poster children of digitalism nowadays. Just like we always do as humans, we are jumping headfirst into these new technologies, before thinking and assessing twice. That’s alright, enthusiasm is the cure for apathy. Meanwhile, let’s imagine for a second how gaming, DAOs, and metaverse can be in the service of the elation and the elevation of humanity.
Humans are aligned with their essence when they are close to nature. By the end of his life, Carl Jung, even though he had the means for every luxury in the world, chose to live in a lake house with no electricity, caught his fish, had his garden, and spent more time outdoors than indoors. By giving this example I am not vouching for killing the girt, lol. Here is one of the wisest humans ever visiting the earth choosing to be one with nature after realizing that what we call “civilization” is cutting his connection with Mother Nature, hence rendering him less strong and balanced as a being.
I know being in a VR headset, experiencing the inexperienced, being in awe and wonder when you travel outlandish lands is extremely entertaining and rewarding. But this shall not come with the price tag of us humans being lost in oblivion in the luscious world of escapism, not it should addict us to the instant gratification of digitalism and gaming, as we have so much to learn from the patience, mysteries, and peace found in nature. Hence, I am suggesting for gaming and metaverse companies have a leg of their business model where they bring their culture, their community, into nature, physically. All of us, and leave no one behind.
Last words
Thank you for reading this article. If you wish to share it with those that prefer getting their knowledge from lectures instead of articles, we also have a recording of my SXSW talk where this protocol and action plan were first made public.
If I managed to make you believe in a future reality where we get to couple wisdom and technology, and I made you enthusiastic about it, then the only thing we need from you to make it happen is your consent. If you consent to create a new reality where the metaverse, AI, and all everything future technology will be in the service of humanity, then I ask you to give all your attention and focus on it. Believe in it, activate it, visualize it, meditate on it, feel it in your heart and if you are in a decision-making position of an organization or a company, be inspired by this protocol and come up with your own action plan.
This means we leave the old human and soul-crushing reality behind. We leave the fear and control behind. Do not try to change that reality, instead place all your attention to establish this new reality. Do not focus on the how, the how will take care of itself. For now, only focus on the end result. I conclude with the wise words of Socrates: “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
