For Lilian and the Indigos - Above Top Secret

ANOTHER LETTER FROM THE FUTURE
(as posted by Amaterasu on AboveTopSecret.com)
By now, some of you are familiar with the story Izzy told – I know that a fair number of
you here have read The Abundance Paradigm, and a fair number either refuse to read (too
busy, perhaps), or you skimmed and scoffed…and a number of you have never heard of
the paradigm at all.
Of course, for my future to happen, many of you must see what happened from my
perspective, thereby allowing you to believe that it could work…
Sorry, let me introduce myself. I’m Professor Harold Inke, and though Izzy is a beautiful
heart, her focus was on the story of Amelia. She is just so grateful. But her story didn’t
address much the nuts and bolts of what happened as the abundance emerged from our
choices.
Once Stephen Colbert – a true hero he! – let his viewers contemplate the paradigm via
Amelia’s appearance on his show, a triad of people who worked behind the scene on
cameras and scripts got together and since one was geeky, and knew how to program a
website of excellent function, they put together AbundanceParadigm.web (that last more
for its significance and less how it was accessed) and did it all open-source.
Everything was kept as straightforward as possible and the forums to discuss things were
allowed to emerge from the initial setup, with a “one computer, one vote” setup to star
posts one thinks are good, and the votes matriculated the ideas upwards as people starred
others’ (but not their own) ideas.
Really, the site began with a place to post suggestions of what topics should be made into
forums, and the star system led to the elevation of the things people cared about. Sure, it
was work administering the site, reading the topics and throwing the ones that seemed
frivolous into an open “trash” bin and archiving them, listening to defenses for ideas that
were thus disposed of, and other administrative duties, but the goal was noble and the
work had no shortage of efforts to grow with the project.
Suggestions that had star points up to the millions wound up being the prime things
people were interested in solving.
The triad approached Stephen, their ultimate hero. Stephen, in his visionary wisdom,
announced the site on his show. (In fact, the site was often worked in from there on…)
Also, realizing bandwidth would rapidly be an issue, any who could help in that effort
were invited to join. There were a few days here and there where it got sticky, but the
problems were always solved. The rest of the media began a buzz about what Stephen
had presented and about the ideas Amelia had brought forth, and the paradigm spread
further.
