Im also very happy to announce that Imagine Festival, that is about bold dreams, is opening this Friday – 9th of October on John Lennons birthday. We have some very exciting events in Second Life. We have a website that will continuously updated. Please go here to check. http://imaginefestival.wordpress.com/ WELCOME to the Festival
Dreaming is important and its time to do that now. We need to dare to dream a dream of the impossible. A world in peace, without starvation and poverty, in which human rights is a way of living, without financial problems and injustice… well i guess that is to a lot of people a dream of the impossible. But is it? So many times in our history people had dreams about the impossible. We do fly to the moon nowadays, black people in US got their civil rights, India got free from united kingdom… And in our daily life brave everyday heroes are doing miracles we don’t see and haven’t heard of. Dreaming the impossible dream gives us a direction to go towards to – so it has many functions (not only stimulationg the right side of the brain). We are now planning a festival in Second Life that is called Imagine Festival – catch the dream. Its all about daring to dream a dream of a better world for all. It starts 9th of October on John Lennons birthday. The base for the festival is John´s lyrics to the song Imagine. He wasnt/isnt the only one with that bold dream. More will come on this blog (and others) about the Imagine Festival (IF)
Many many people are working for peace on earth. That means there are many ideas out there. We need to dare to dream a dream of peace. And the only way to maintain a world in peace is to make it sustainable. A world that is just for all has a chance to live on. Here are some videos with some ideas.
There are some really good videos (my opinion) at the swedish Zeitgeist Movement website. Please go there and check them. here they are: Swedish zeitgesit Movement website. Just click the youtube videos – easy like that
What came first – youtube or all the blogs? (everyone seems to have a blog). What we DO know is that there came facebook, twitter, wordpress, etc etc etc… had a lot of chat communities, contact sites you name it! I havnt been writing much here lately. I have been busy busy busy. I have been doing some of my usual stuff (most awareness/charity work in SL) and since i was forced to buy a new computer (the 6 year old one broke down in the summer heat we had for a while – and yes the old one works now when its cooler again LOL) i have been working a bit with my old profession – video. God it has happened a lot!!! Lots of new great formats that allows relatively small files with a great quality. A N D… hehe – i made myself a TV channel on “Livestream” – I guess THAT will be a killer competitor to youtube. Its actually like running a small TV channel with the possibility to cooperate with webcam owners all over the world, do live broadcast together (or alone), upload clips and do an auto piloted broadcast. I think this will change the net (like a lot of other things of course hehe). I had my TV channel just a little more then a week but i already started with Live broadcasts from SL – and of course the broadcasts can be watch on demand too. Yesterday i broadcasted an interview from peacefest and tonight 20.00 CET i will broadcast “Follow the Light” – a show with live original music, light – firework and visual effect and dance. Check it out if you want – either Live in SL or at my TV channel. The show will be up for “video on demand” about 5 minutes after the show, but will be simultaneously at the channel and in SL. Its all Live )
Hi folks that comes here. I´m sorry to say that so many things has happened. I haven’t had the time to update my blog all the time. I do hope that you find something useful top read thou i didn’t write new things. I will update some but not every day. I have some new plans and I´ll come back here to write about them when I´m sure what I´ll do with the plans. In the meanwhile i hope you will check the archives here. Peace and Love – jun
Some years back Peter Gabriel, X Genesis singer, approached Nelson Mandela with the idea to form a independing group of elder people with lots of knowledge and expirience of “working for a better world”. The organisation grew and is now growing even more. The Eders have a new website - check them out !
KUMI NAIDOO is going to be the new leader of Greenpeace. Quote: “He was one of the founders of Global Call to Action Against Poverty, which has grown since 2005 into a coalition of anti-poverty campaigners from over 100 countries. They apply public pressure on leaders to fulfil promises on aid, trade, debt, climate change and gender equality.” Lets hope Kumi is one of them that can unite all organisations that fight for a better world. Here he talks before the G20 meeting.
About 5 years ago i made an instrumental tune. I wanted to do a video using art as an expression for my thoughts on what happened to our planet. It was all en experiment and now i want to show it to you – feel free to watch and listen I wanted to use as little words as possible. I use only a few and they are in Swedish. Therefore i will translate them for you. First it says: “Uppvaknande och insikt”. That is: Awakening and insight (awareness). Then it says: “Fantasi – din intelligens” Empati – din medvetenhet”. That is: “Imagination – your intelligence. Empathy – your consciousness” And in the end it says: Du väljer. Paradis eller helvete. Välj nu! That is: You choose. Paradise or hell. Choose now! Hope you will enjoy it.
