Points discussed and questions to be answered to help guide the process:

  • How to protect your Spirit-based idea/product/company from being de-railed from its original inspiration and guidance, especially when it attracts investors or the business model from the traditional corporate model?
  • What are the values of the new system that we want?
  • Happiness studies: this is a metric and studies have been done, both on the individual and collective levels.
  • The way that Spirit guides us, look at this, then the economy is/will be a reflection of this.
  • What is the marketing and distribution in this context, that can be used to bring and grow Spirit-based and inspired products in a Peace economy? Finding out what each person's soul is here to do.
  • All of this centers around the heart. Do a central knowledge bank, where everyone feeds into the same system and sets up a heart resonance. What the people's heart creates a natural exchange mode that grows on its own, vibrating on it's own frequency. If people really tuned into their heart, using heart intelligence to make decisions, purchases. You'd get a new definition to a "feel good economy."
  • There is a software in development to create a new barter system that allows for varying levels of input and exchange and value.
