Vivo (pronounced bee boh) is the Spanish word for alive, intense, bright, living, enlightened.
The ViVo Initiative for the Anarchapulco 24/7/365 Community
Facilitate a community of people, in Acapulco as well as virtually that help and support each other and further their goals and objectives. Primarily around the idea of demonstrating what a community of Voluntaryist, Anarchists and liberty minded people working together in a peer to peer environment can actually accomplish. To be an example for other people and communities around the world.
I believe Acapulco is fertile ground for an experiment. It’s a beautiful magical place where the local people have suffered greatly due to government intervention. These people are much more open-minded to opportunity and not enamored with government, they still value their family above fiat money, the economy is based on tourism (the service sector), the diversity of choices on how one lives is great, Anarchists and Voluntaryists know this place and visit annually. There are key people here and already a history of attempts at a Anarchist community.
The vision of what this community could be is many things:
- A underground railroad station for those leaving the Zombie Apocalypse of Statism for the restorative world of enlightened and caring people. My mind goes to a modern version of what Casablanca was for Europeans trying to escape Europe prior to World War Two.
- A community that serves as a respite or recharge for the weary Anarchist or Voluntaryist who is tired and exhausted from being surrounded by the statist NPCs.
- A community that is dedicated to demonstrating the superiority of our philosophy in terms of health, happiness and prosperity.
- A physical location with resources and people willing to make an effort to apply knowledge and wisdom in a real laboratory of a city willing to have them.
- A place that gives people the freedom to actually be themselves.
- A place to really discuss and explore the potential of being aware of the full potential of humanity.
- A place that welcomes all those who wish to make the world a better place. Healers, Teachers, Idealists, Innovators, Entrepreneurs, etc… and all those who wish to learn, support or benefit from them.
A solid community has specific elements that make it attractive to people. My interest is addressing those areas and attracting the most intelligent, the most creative, the most capable into an industrious and successful heart of a respected community.
The current plan of action includes:
Community Summits - Weekend retreats to gather together and discuss specific topics in regard to building a solid community. One day event surrounded by rewarding group activities that demonstrate opportunities here in Acapulco.
Anarchapulco 24/7/365 Newsletter/ News magazine - Initially upon enough interested parties, a collection of information on all the ideas and interests of the community and upcoming events.
Innovation Lab - Bringing great people together with great ideas. Experimenting.
Anarchist Fight Club - Turning conflict into opportunity.
The Ethical Emergence Method is my contribution to this effort. I want Anarchists and Voluntaryists to be exceptionally capable people and I have a method to get them there. I will be educating, training, coaching those interested as well as completing my book. Ethical Emergence aids in developing the following:
Paradigms, Mindsets, Expectations, Rules, Conflict Resolution and more… - What are the tools in the mental toolbox that can be adopted by the members of a community for an successful community? The greatest resource on the planet is the human mind. How do we develop that resource together?
The Peace dividend - Raising consciousness requires us to move beyond petty conflict and see problems and challenges as opportunities. We’ve been in a mental swamp so long we don’t even recognize the potential of decent ground. Applying David Hawkins Map of Consciousness as well as the four stages of consciousness as outlined by Peter Sage could be a great place to start. Teaching people the tools of peace-making and peace-keeping. The Map of Consciousness
- Understanding and being aware of human weaknesses and ways those are exploited. It is the quickest way to remove the community from the target zone. The parasites and predators prey on the weak, and are indifferent at worst to those who provide benefits and represent no threat.
- Meaningful communication as an approach to communicating with every group or entity.
- Methods to organize for successful outcomes.
As the originator of the Initiative. I want to support this effort in everything I do and every way I can. I wish to accumulate enough money to sustain this effort and I feel it could be a incredibly cost effective approach. I am setting a goal of $100,000 as an achievable goal and I want to reward those who donate with even more value.
Others can contribute in any way they feel could be useful or helpful. I welcome every willing soul. I am happy to collaborate with like minds.
With this in mind I’ve created a donation schedule. If you would like to donate to this effort you will be eligible to receive these gifts from me:
