In January 2005 the legacy of oppression continues. What are you going to do about it. Continue fighting against it using the tactics they have spent the past century creating counter-measures for or work to find a way that may see change in the world.

This tribe is about looking at the big picture to truly address the history of oppression in this world. It isn't about having the answers but about asking the right questions. It is about taking a position which is not reactive to the current paradigm but rather critically analyzing it in an organized manner so that solutions can be developed.

The foundation of this tribe is that the next four years in this world are quite critical and if experienced in an cooperative and objective fashion those who are working for change can realistically become a true force to be reckoned with not just a nominal opposition.

For each year there is a personal objective and a collective objective. With the support of eachother it is feasible that by the end of the four years some sort of action can be taken which is collectively agreed upon that may have a lasting impact upon the world. The plan for these four years is as follows:

Year One - The personal objective is to improve ones physical health. Work on a routine which will put you physically in the most healthy position possible. The collective objective is education. Obtain as much information as you can about all the different facets of this world and share them.

Year Two - The personal objective is spiritual health. As you have become in tune with who you are physically it is easier to get in touch with your inner self and begin healing the wounds the spirit has accumulated over your lifetime. The collective objective is model building. Having spent the previous year educating yourslef and sharing information, it is possible to begin talking about what the model for whole life looks like. What is our collective utopia?

Year Three - The personal objective is communal health. Spend this time getting in touch with those who are closest to you in your community. Build the support system that you need for what lies ahead. The collective objective is the world as it is. Having looked at what we want the world to be, we must now seriously look at the world as it is. What are the institutions and systems which are in place that keep the world from being how we want it to be.

Year Four - The personal objective is self knowledge. Having explored yourself physically, spiritually and communally the path has been paved for self realization. The collective goal is bridging the gap. Strategizing the things that need to happen to go from where we are in the world to where we want to be.

Perhaps the most important part of this four year plan is to elliminate the reactive frame of mind. There are a lot of things which will happen in the world in the next four years which ultimately are out of our control. By reacting to these things we are only distracted from the real work that needs to be done.
