In this talk, Emmett Miller outlines a forthcoming session that will guide participants to discover their personal gifts, talents, and skills, and to bring these to the surface within their community. He introduces "the secret," the power of imagination, describing how holding a vivid, shared image can help manifest that vision into reality. Miller then expands the discussion to how such collective imagination can be extended into community life, aligning around core values. He characterizes the internet as a global brain—each individual a nerve cell linked by the web’s axon‑like connections—while critiquing its current lack of strategic focus. Citing Paul Hawken’s book Blessed Unrest, he notes the emergence of over a million sustainability‑focused organizations and the growing discourse on environmental stewardship. Social networking platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are presented as early tools for mobilizing non‑violent, grassroots action to reclaim the planet from a controlling system that enslaves both leaders and citizens. Finally, Miller promises to discuss methods for sustaining this movement into the future, before concluding with a brief musical outro and a personal family remark.

Chapters

What we're going to focus on next time will be going within and finding out what are your gifts, what are your talents, what are your skills. We have everything that we need right here in our community. But we need to give it a space to come to the surface. And it starts with our knowing who we are and what we have to bring forth. The next thing we'll talk about is how to use what's come to be known as the secret, which is the ability to use your imagination. And that means creating something that's not already there. And then enabling it to happen. So we need to be able to use that imagery. When you can hold in mind a vivid image, then you tend to make that image happen. And when there's a group of people who hold in mind a single image and put their heart and their love into it and feel its importance, then incredibly magical things can happen. And following that, we'll go on to talk about how we can extend that out into our community and begin to gather around the things that really make life worth living for us, our values. We'll talk about how the internet can be used. Each one of us now is like a nerve cell in a great giant global brain. This brain right now, does not have a prefrontal cortex. It has very severe attention deficit disorder. It is unable to see what it really wants. It cannot make good clear strategies. It cannot organize its activities. It is impulsive and jumps all over the place. But each one of us is a cell and the internet is really the axon fibers that can link us together. There are groups forming all over the place. Hawken talks in his book called— it's called "Blessed Unrest." He said there's more than a million organizations now whose primary focus is sustainability and being able to treat our environment in the right way. There are a tremendous number of books and people all over beginning to talk about this same thing. Social networking as is now possible on the internet. Of course, now it's Twitter and Facebook, and that's a good start, but it's only the beginning. The internet gives us the ability, if we know how to use it, to take back our planet from the system that's been controlling it. Not the people, because even those people that are running the show, they're not happy. It's because they're as much slaves of the system as we are. But there's a very nonviolent way that we can take our system back. We can take over our planet again. We'll talk about that. And then finally, we'll talk about what are the ways to keep this thing going into the future. [MUSIC] Family. I got all my sisters and dad.
