for you intrepid souls

who have responded to
the call to unite,
the following is offered
as a gift, along with our
deepest gratitude for your
willingness to work together
for the greater good of all.

this is not a means to an end,

nor is it an end in itself,
for it is, indeed, a beginning.

Greetings One… and All,

The following Plan for Unification is presented to all those who are willing to acknowledge that the time of living for the
self has passed, and that the time has come for humanity to realize the peace, liberty and power of Unity.

For years some small part of each one of us has lived out of alignment with what we know to be true as we lived to
support a system that many of us felt helpless to leave. But now, as Mother earth gives and gives and gives her black
blood that humanity has been so hungry for, we have been gifted the opportunity to transmute disaster into liberty.

Mother earth now gives of herself in excess knowing that there are those of us who would see the truth, ‘that there is no
future in following our current path.’ Our mother, forever aware of her connection to her children, feels the rising wave
of Awakening that is sweeping across her surface, and is waiting for us to demonstrate our love, wisdom and
willingness to do what we know we must.

For if it can be agreed that our current system is leading us on

a path of inevitable destruction, and if it can also be agreed
that WE in living for the self (more money, more pleasure, &
more prestige) are the only engines driving this system, then we
may also see that WE hold the power to stop it… through
Unity.

So let us begin the Grand Process of Unification that will allow

us to lend each other our special skills, knowledge and
resources so that we may support each other, and thereby,
relieve ourselves of our dependency on this failed and
crumbling system for survival. And instead let us give, and
share, and depend upon each other to co-create a new reality
that honours our Mother… and all living things. And in so
doing, we shall be free.

That said, we feel it is important to express to all of our rising Ambassadors that Awakening As One should never be
presented to others as “the Way”, for there are many paths to Unity. What we offer in this document is a starting point;
a framework by which those who are willing to unite, may begin to do so. It is a gift for those who would like to know
where to begin, and one, which we humbly seek your assistance in refining so that we may re-gift it to others.

Also of note, is our acknowledgement that there will soon come a time when none of what is presented here will be
necessary; for events that are soon set to unfold have been designed to make ‘letting go’ and ‘uniting’ the sanest and
simplest choices for those with the willingness to do so. So why should we bother with all this work now?

Because it’s fun, and because it nourishes our spirit to live by what we know is true: and also because we live to serve.
If we wait for the time when it is easy, we serve ourselves; confident that we will make the ‘right’ choices as they are
presented to us. But if we start now, then we are doing it for others; for the work that we put into uniting now, will be
the solace that others will seek in the times ahead.

One note regarding the reading of this document; please don’t get bogged down in the details in your first read
through. Read it once to get a sense of the entire vision of how we might unite a city. And then, when you are ready,
come back to the First Step. Get a feel for it, get some inspirations, and then connect with us so that we can move
through it together. And know that whatever we achieve, with heart, is what we are meant to achieve.

And so, without further ado, here are some guidelines by which we may begin to unite the world.

With faith, we are…

Awakening As One

Ambassadors – Next Steps

Now that I’m an Ambassador, What do I do next?

1. Get Informed - Read the following pages for an overview of The Plan to Unite your city’s peace-
loving citizens. This will give you a deeper understanding of the purpose, and means, of
implementing such Awakening As One initiatives as; Community Councils, Vision Councils and
Solstice-Type Events.
2. Get Connected - With this understanding we would then encourage you to contact us by phone or
email, so that we can assist you in taking your first steps towards creating a Community Council.
During this contact we would also be happy to answer any questions and learn from your insights
that may have arisen after reading The Plan for Unification.
3. Get Busy – Speak your truths often and of the importance of uniting, with others. And through your
sharing seek others who are willing to unite and co-create a new world of peace and harmony.

The Plan for Unification

The three simple steps for uniting the peace-loving citizens of a city are to:

1. Unite with Friends ⇒ Community Councils

2. Unite with Like-Minded Communities ⇒ Vision Councils
3. Unite with the City’s General Public ⇒ Solstice-Type Events

AAO has specifically designed initiatives such as Community Councils, Vision Councils and the Summer
Solstice Events as means to facilitate the process of unification on each level of The Plan.

In presenting a deeper understanding of AAO’s plans, suggested initiatives, and how they assist unity on
each of the three levels, Ambassadors will then be empowered to begin these activities, or their own
versions thereof, to facilitate the process of unification in their area.

Here it is important to note that no Ambassador can, or need, bear the responsibility for the unification of
the people in their region alone. For all that is set to unfold in the coming months and years is divinely
designed to encourage us to seek the love, wisdom and assistance of others.

Therefore, we suggest that each Ambassador start the process of unification by reaching out to like-minded
friends with the intention of finding one, three, or thirteen others who will help achieve unification on the
various levels.

Below we will walk you through the three-step process of how to unite a city. The importance of uniting on
each level will be explained, along with directions on how to implement the co-relating AAO initiative. And
so now, let us take our first step… together.

Step One – The Plan for Unification

1. Community Councils Unite with Friends

Over the years many of us have established a union with friends that has manifested itself in the form of
gatherings and conversations on such topics as spiritual growth, healing, community and the environment.
However, the increasing intensity of world events, along with the escalating abuse of our planet and its
populace is now asking us to Deepen our Union with our like-minded friends by bringing Truth and Purpose
to the foreground of our interactions.

1.1 Community Councils – Basic Purpose

Through AAO’s Community Councils we propose a structure whereby any and all individuals may gather in
acknowledgment of the truth that, “together, we can peacefully free ourselves from our dependency on our
current self-destructive system.” These Councils then afford the opportunity to meet with friends, old and
new, who share the vision of a more harmonious existence, that they may discuss and implement actionable
plans for how that vision may be realized, with particular emphasis on gathering people through
Community Councils and Solstice-Type events. Community Councils also afford the vital opportunity to come
together in focused meditation, intent and invocation.

Any individuals with an expressed interest in uniting in collaborative selfless service are free to attend
Community Councils. The accessibility and social nature of these Councils are intended to facilitate the
regular gathering and expanded sharing of an increasing number of the area’s like-minded citizens. Thus,
the growing number of individuals involved with the Community Council will constitute the main resource
pool that will serve to assist in actualizing initial steps of the Vision Council’s strategy to create a new co-
operative system in their area. (See Vision Councils below.)

It is the Council’s efforts to unite, share liberating truths and co-create with as many peace-loving people as
possible that gives the Community Council its name. Any Ambassadors who resonate with these objectives
are heartily encouraged to create a Community Council in their area by following the steps below.

1.2 Community Councils – Getting Started

All you have to do to start a Community Council in your area is:

1. Reach out to friends and acquaintances you know who hold a vision for a more harmonious
existence here on earth and ask them to gather. You may do this by simply making a few phone
calls or emails, or by showing people videos such as “The Call” and “The Plan” and inviting them
to meet to discuss plans for how the group might collectively free itself from its dependency on our
current self-destructive system.
2. Once Ambassadors are comfortable with the Council’s structure, we would encourage them to
begin expanding the list of those invited, to include friends of friends, community members,
colleagues and the randomly encountered.

1.3 Community Councils – Meeting Structure

Understanding that some Ambassadors are already facilitating gatherings of their own, we present the
following Community Council structure with the intention of adding a harmonized purpose to those existing
meetings. For it is our belief that if all the spirited groups that were presently gathering around the world
added the purpose of uniting to support each other in stepping away from our current self-destructive
system, we would immediately take huge strides towards realizing our mutual dreams.
 6

That said, the following Community Council meeting structure, which typically runs between 1.5 – 2 hours is
offered to inform and supplement existing groups, as well as offer a guideline for those who would like
assistance in starting their own Councils. A suggested structure for Community Council would be as follows:

1. Welcoming (10 mins) – The host or Ambassador(s) welcomes those in attendance, and provides an
introduction to the space (bathrooms, etc). He or she may also give a brief account of the Council’s
schedule for the day as people settle.
2. Opening Ceremony (10 mins) – A brief opening ceremony may also be included immediately after
everyone is seated. This unites everyone in spirit.
3. Statement of Purpose (5 mins) – Host or Ambassador(s) expresses gratitude to those in attendance,
and states the Council Purpose for the benefit of newcomers.

We extend our humble gratitude to each of you for your willingness to gather today, and to
acknowledge the truth that, together, we can peacefully free ourselves from our dependency on our
current self-destructive system. The purpose of these Councils is to meet friends, old and new, who
share the vision of a more harmonious existence, and to discuss actionable plans for how that
vision may be realized. We will also join tens of thousands around the world in a unified
meditation for the love of our planet and all living beings.

4. Circle Sharing (10 mins) – The host or Ambassador(s) may invite others in the circle to share a few
words about their intent for coming, or some other personal sharing. Groups may also wish to
share feelings in relation to the “Unified Meditation” focus. This activity unites everyone in heart.
5. Unified Meditation (30 – 45 mins) – A Unified Focus for meditation will be provided for
Ambassadors every two weeks before Council. The focus may be read or paraphrased by
someone in the circle, after which the group meditates for an agreed upon period of time.
6. Focused Co-Creation (30 – 60 mins) – During this time the Council discusses plans and
implementation strategies that could be taken to free the Community from its dependency on our
current system. Also discussed are plans to facilitate the process of unification in their city through
the implementation of Community Councils, Vision Councils and Summer Solstice Events, as
described below. They may also discuss currently relevant truths surrounding events such as the BP
oil disaster, and their implications regarding the state of the world, and their Community.

It is through the ever-expanding group of people that the Ambassador connects to through Community
Councils that he or she will find others to share the responsibilities of hosting Councils, planning Solstice
Events, or forming Vision Councils. Perhaps the most significant role of Ambassador is to find others who
will happily serve alongside them. Should you decide to move forward with the creation of a Community
Council in your area, we would ask you to please contact us immediately so that we may provide you with
whatever assistance you might require and connect you to others in your area who would wish to attend
Council.

1.4 Community Councils – Divine Timing

Community Councils are held every two weeks on the New and Full phases of the Moon. In addition to
tuning our awareness to the natural cycles of time, our decision to follow the two-week moon cycle allows
us to unite with other groups around the world that are meeting at the same time. Thus, every time we hold
a Community Council we are supporting another like-minded global network by joining tens of thousands in
unified meditation for the earth and all beings.

Meeting every two weeks also allows that invaluable time to check-in on the co-creation and implementation
of the group’s plans to relieve its dependency on our current system, and to unite its city’s peace-loving
citizens. It also provides those precious opportunities to meet and interact with other like-minded individuals.
 7

Community Councils are synchronized to occur at the same time as others in their region on the day of the
new or full moon. The times that Community Councils are held in each region may be determined based on
those of the following cities:

Sydney, Aus: 8pm

Paris, France: 8pm
New York, US: 9pm
Vancouver: 6pm
Mumbai, India: 8pm

1.5 A Special Note Regarding Friends

When asking friends and family members to take part in Community Councils and other initiatives in
service of the greater good, it is important to remember that The Plan of Unification follows the path of NO
resistance. For you will encounter many along your way who do not share your willingness to let go of the
old, so that they may move on to the new. And, in such cases, it would be best if you did not expend
valuable time and energy trying to convince others to see the world, and the Way, as you do.

The truth is that each person will have many opportunities along the path to see the good sense of uniting in
selfless-service of humanity and the earth. And these people will be better served if each of us follows the
path of NO resistance that leads us to those souls who are willing, and waiting, for our call to Unite.

That said, now that we’ve begun to unite with those in our immediate social sphere, let’s expand our
network by moving on to the second step.

 8

Step Two – The Plan for Unification

2. Vision Councils Unite with Like-Minded Communities
Having acknowledged that in nearly every city around the world tremendous work is being done by both
individuals and organizations to assist with the transition towards a more harmonious existence, we also
realize that the vast majority of these efforts plod along at a fraction of their potential effect because most of
us continue to work in relative isolation from one another.

However, as oil pours into the ocean with no sign of stopping, the world is now requiring us to search
inside, and ask ourselves “are we doing all that we can, to bring about the healing that is so urgently
needed in our world today?” An honest appraisal of our current progress towards a harmonious existence,
when compared to what we might achieve by working together, shows that, in fact, there is much more that
we can do.

2.1 Vision Councils - Basic Purpose

Through the creation and implementation of AAO’s Vision Councils we propose a program, and tools,
whereby Ambassadors may unite the like-minded leaders of their area’s holistic communities, in order to co-
create a plan that will help free their region’s peace-loving citizens from their dependence on our current
self-destructive system. By facilitating the unification of established leaders in your city’s holistic health,
sustainable living, spiritual and visionary-thought communities Ambassadors will also be serving to help
unite ALL of the people within those individual communities as well.

Any Ambassadors who resonate with the purpose of uniting the holistic leaders of their city, so that they
may co-create a strategy to relieve their region’s dependence on our current self-destructive system is
encouraged to begin creating a Vision Council in their area by following the steps below.

2.2 Vision Councils – Council Structure

In order to assist Ambassadors in creating Vision Councils in their area, we propose the following
guidelines for the Council’s structure as well as a set of criteria to be considered when seeking Council
members. Here we offer a reminder; to not get bogged down in the details, just take them in and you will
get a deeper sense of the Council’s purpose and Vision a little further down.

We suggest that each Vision Council be comprised of 12 individuals (6 men & 6 women), with the ever-
present Spirit that unites us all as the 13th member. Also, in order to ensure that the diverse fields of wisdom
essential in creating a cooperative system that will enable us to free ourselves from our current system are
represented, we would ask Ambassadors to seek Vision Council Members with experience and expertise in
four vital areas of community creation, those being:

1. holistic healing,
2. spiritual guidance,
3. visionary-thought (artists, scientists, philosophers, new economists, etc),
4. sustainable development (builders, perma-culturists, and alternative energy gurus, etc).

Vision Councils would ideally be held every two weeks on the New and Full Phases of the Moon, during
the same time as the Community Councils. By meeting every two weeks the Vision Council will be able to
join the global network of unified meditators, and thereby begin strengthening the circle’s practice of group
visioning, intent and invocation, which will be of vital importance in the time to come.

Meeting with such frequency is also encouraged because NOW is our final period of relative luxury, in
which we may prepare for the dramatically intensified events that are fast approaching. (For more
information on the Community Council Schedule see Community Councils – Divine Timing Pg. 6)
 9

2.3 Vision Council Community Council

We also feel that it is essential to maintain a connection between the wisdom and resources that are
available through members of the Community Council with those of the Vision Council. For, although the
combined wisdom and expertise of the Vision Council is vital to crafting a strategy that will liberate its city’s
peace-loving citizens from our current system, it will be the added genius and sheer numbers of the
Community Council that sees that the plan is manifested in the physical.

Thus, we propose that a rotation of 4 Community Council members attend the Vision Council, as observers,
to facilitate communication between the Vision and Community Councils. Any insights or inspirations
generated by Community Council members that may be helpful to the Vision Council, can then be
presented during an allocated period of time before the end of the meeting. By rotating the Community
Council members who attend the Vision Council, those who attended previously may give an account of the
Vision Council activities by email in the following days and when they attend their next Community Council.

2.4 Vision Councils – The More the Merrier

Though we propose an initial Vision Council of 12 for the sake of keeping the group small, and therefore
focused and efficient, we acknowledge that in some cities there may be dozens of individuals who carry
wisdom and resources that would be essential for achieving the group’s goal. Thus, we would encourage
such cities to establish multiple Vision Councils, which would then combine their insights and resources. For
the sake of efficient service to the Community, all actions deemed to be immediately actionable would then
be carried out through the combined efforts of the Community and Vision Councils.

2.5 Vision Councils – Councilor Characteristics

As important as the criteria for seeking Council members is the manner in which we would encourage
Ambassadors to approach potential candidates. Just as some say that “we must humble ourselves” in order
to see the new world, our profound realization of our need for the combined love, wisdom and resources of
others, to help relieve our dependency on our current system has been very humbling indeed. Thus, we
would encourage each Ambassador to approach potential Council Members with the same humble
gratitude that they may use for a teacher and respected Elder.

That said, the following criteria for members of the Vision Council is presented with the intention of
establishing a core group of wise and mature individuals in each city who may serve as a Council of
Elders, of sorts. The unshakable faith, love and wisdom of this group will serve as a comfort and inspiration
for others during days of increasing intensity, just as the united voice of these known and respected
individuals will be more readily received from the people in their community.

Thus we ask Ambassadors to consider the following criteria when seeking members for their region’s Vision
Council. Councilors must be:

1. Spirited – it is essential that all members of the Vision Council have a connection to Spirit and
understand that we are in the process of an accelerating spiritual evolution. The Councilor’s must
acknowledge the Universal Nature of true spirituality, which is neither sectarian, nor dogmatic, and
would thereby refrain from using the AAO platform to promote any spiritual affiliations or dogmatic
beliefs.
2. Fearless – members of the vision council must be fearless. Their involvement in the council should be
based on their loving willingness to serve, not to save themselves or to attain any personal gain.
3. Proven Leaders – council members should be visible contributors to their community by sharing
wisdom or guidance in at least one of the four aspects of society as either a: holistic healer,
spiritual teacher, visionary thinker (artist, scientist, philosopher, new economist), or sustainable
developer (builder/gardener/engineer.)
 10

4. Mature – if not in years, then most definitely in spiritual awareness, wisdom and their ability to
communicate/listen.
5. Able to Laugh – as serious as the work may be, we also believe it is a joyous work and we would
heartily encourage all involved to value the power of laughter.

Now that you have an idea of the type of person you’re seeking, here are some ideas on how you might
go about finding them.

2.6 Vision Councils – Approaching Councilors

Some approaches to finding Vision Council members are:

1. Start with people you know (teachers, colleagues, etc)

2. If you find one, ask him/her to point you to others.
3. Ask those you know for references to established community leaders & businesses in the four fields:
healers, spiritual teachers, visionary thinkers, & sustainable living.
4. Consider if you, yourself, meet the criteria.

Now that you’ve found some potential candidates, here are some suggestions for how you might approach
them and make use of the tools that we are happy to provide:

1. Invitation to Connect – we suggest phoning, emailing or visiting potential Vision Council members
to present them with a BRIEF introduction of yourself including, if you wish, your role as an AAO
Ambassador and a request to meet in person to discuss unifying your city’s peace-loving citizens
with the intention of relieving their dependence on our current self-destructive system.
2. Employ the Tools – through your brief first connection with Council Candidates you may wish to
present the following materials in order to give him/her a greater sense of our plans for unification:

a. Visit our Webpage and watch “The Call” and the “The Plan”. These tools will do much to
express the message, and importance, of uniting, and will help attract those who resonate
with their message, while at the same time, revealing those who do not.
b. The Plan for Unification: You may also choose to forward the co-relating pages regarding
Vision Council from this document, or if the Councilor shows particular interest, you may
forward the entire “Plan for Unification” as presented herein.
c. The Global Call to Council: We are also creating a humble heartfelt petition to the
harmonious leaders/elders of our communities which asks them to unite and pool their
wisdom and resources to provide guidance in these fast-changing times. (The petition for
your region will be posted on our webpage at: http://awakeningasone.com/
global_call_to_council/

3. Meeting & Assessment – having presented the above information, if the potential councilor
resonates with the material we would then suggest meeting in person. During this meeting you may
openly present the Council Criteria and ask the candidate where they sit in relation to each point,
or you could simply evaluate the points yourself based on your interaction. Remember to be
humble, yet firm, in your assessment as it will not serve the Vision Council’s purpose to bring
members on who do not meet the criteria.
4. Approval – If the criteria are met and the candidate resonates with the Vision of the Council you
may then wish to ask if he, or she, knows of anyone else who might be a good candidate to
complete the circle of 12.
5. Decline - Remember that we walk that path of NO resistance and that all those who are meant to sit
on the Vision Council will be immediately attracted to the idea when they hear you speak of it.
There is no sell here, and no need to convince or to push the issue if a potential candidate declines
your invitation.
 11

Also note that we are always available to speak with you to work out the best strategies to find and
approach potential Vision Council members in your region. If necessary, we would also be happy to speak
with Council Candidates to bring clarity to the vision or to assess their harmony with the Council criteria.
We would also ask all those who begin the process of creating a Vision Council to please inform us so that
we can co-ordinate your efforts with those of others in your area.

Now that you have an understanding of the basic Vision Council structure and the important role that these
Councils will play in unifying the like-minded communities within your city, we would like to introduce you to
the deeper purpose and actions related to the Vision Council.

2.7 Vision Councils – Council Purpose & Prophecy

Based on our understanding that most humans tend to work more efficiently when they have a clearly
defined purpose, we are in the process of creating a one-page document that proposes a “best-guess
scenario” - based on much intelligent research, an attention to prophecies, and the wisdom of our Elders -
of how events could possibly unfold in the next 12 months. This document will be presented to each
community’s Vision Council so that it may pool its wisdom and resources to devise a strategy to address the
proposed events.

Here it must be understood that our intention with this document is not to prophecies events as they are
“going to occur”, but rather to present a framework by which united communities who are ready to act, yet
who are currently paralyzed by the possibilities of what to prepare for, may have some frame-of-reference
from which to work. And here it is essential to note that the Vision Council’s motivation for doing so is not
out of fear for its survival, but out of its compassionate willingness to pool wisdom and imagination in order
to create something better for their community, the earth… and humanity.

It has been said, “that Imagination is the ship by which we may navigate the Unknown”. Thus, by
expanding our imaginations to explore possible future events we may prevent ourselves the shock of getting
caught unawares as the previously unimagined becomes manifest. And as a result of having already
experienced these events in our minds we will be more centered, and able to act, when they or something
similar occurs.

Vision Councils will also work with Community Council members to immediately implement any
preparations deemed to be both necessary and easily actionable. Thus,
in addition to expanding peoples’ minds to meet the “unimaginable”, the
Councils are also preparing their communities to meet changes in their
physical reality as well.

Here, one might also consider the perspective that not all prophecies exist
to tell us “what is to be”, but rather they tell us “what we need to hear” in
order to inspire us to do, what in many cases, we know we must. For, if a
prophecy may be viewed as a projected outcome based on the trend of
preceding events, then it may be realized that the instant we respond to
the prophecies of our Elders by doing what we have never done before
(such as uniting and living for each other), we immediately alter the
probability line of our future and effectively begin creating a new reality.

It is this Council’s use of wisdom and imagination to envision and prepare

for possible future events, with the focused intent of co-creating a
harmonious new reality that gives the Vision Council its name.
 12

2.8 Vision Councils – Council Purpose & Prayer

In addition to the important role the Vision Council will play in bringing healing to the physical reality by
uniting the intents and actions of the like-minded communities in their area, it will also serve an even greater
energetic purpose through its practice of focused prayer and meditation. Though these practices will also
be shared by members of the Community Council, the collective spiritual wisdom and maturity of the Vision
Council members will serve to guide and assist those from the Community Council towards a deeper
understanding of the purpose and practice of prayer.

For, in our not-to-distant future the crisis faced by humanity will elicit an urgent demand for effective spiritual
service, and this will incite a far-reaching global invocation; which, in turn, will speed up the reunification
of groups of willing souls, such as yourselves, as they hasten forth in response to the call of mankind and
the immediate needs of the world.

As inspired ceremonies and prayers take place at the same hour with common understanding and with
identical spiritual intent all around the world, the powerful collective invocation of a united humanity will
penetrate far deeper into the hidden worlds and more than ever before will evoke a correspondingly
profound response from divine spheres.

The unselfish and intelligent use of such a powerful method of conducting divine energy gives rise to the
construction of a potent ethereal circuit that blazes a stream of loving energy through every opened heart
and bestows Revelation upon the whole group as each individual’s consciousness fuses and unites with the
group mind and is subsequently lifted into luminous spiritual realms where the experience of unconditional
love for everyone and everything is known.

Thus by employing the Law of Invocation within the group the corresponding influx of divine energy not
only uplifts the consciousness of those responsible for its invocation, but then proceeds to radiate outwards
from the centre, simultaneously effecting the transmutation of negative energies in the surrounding
environment by purifying, healing and revitalizing all the kingdoms of life on Earth: mineral, vegetable,
animal and, of course, human.

Due to the vital nature of this work, important considerations must be made when preparing for this
genuine, spiritual work. It should be remembered that since everything in the universe is interconnected,
each thought, feeling and activity evokes a response from the subtle energies of the various planes. Each
member in the circle of prayer and invocation – depending upon their own auric condition and its affects
on the whole – either hinders or aids the group.
 13

Mental and emotional handicaps such as fear, pride,

selfishness, etc., even if maintained upon subconscious
levels, will hold the group vibration down and attract like
energies into the intended work, thus restricting the potential
of the group’s positive spiritual effect. Mixed motivations
too, may easily prevent a positive synergy. If members are
thinking of themselves in any way; if they possess personal
vanity, such as might show itself in the desire to shine or to
take a prominent part in the proceedings; if they have any
selfish motivations for joining the group, however subtle, or
if they have not wholly or selflessly consecrated themselves
to selfless service, then they constitute a weak link. Such
individuals must understand that they join, not to receive,
but to give; not to be interested and amused, but to take
their share in a great work for the good of all.

The Vision Council being thus comprised of members with the purest motivations of love and selfless-service,
impeccable trust and resulting fearlessness, will, in addition to all they do above serve the vital purpose of
existing as a shining example that may inspire others (such as community council members) to deeper and
more pure levels of love and service. This will, in turn, result in the increasing number of individuals who
qualify to serve on the Vision Council, and will naturally lead to the creation of an increasing number of
these Councils and their related invocational circles in each region.

With humble hearts and the deepest gratitude we thank you

for considering assuming a position on the Vision Council,
and would ask you to please search your own heart to
evaluate yourself considering the criteria above. If you are
ready to serve in this capacity we welcome you heartily, and
if you do not feel ready at this time then we honour you for
your awareness and would invite you inform us at any such
time that you feel sufficiently prepared.

Having brought the essential clarity of purpose and structure

to the topic of Vision Councils we offer the following
guidelines for holding your first meeting.

2.9 Vision Councils – Holding Council (1st Meeting)

Ideally Vision Councils will be co-facilitated by the group once each member becomes clear on the
Council’s structure and purpose, along with their individual roles within it. However, for the first meeting it
may be necessary to have one or two of the Vision Council Members with a clear understanding of the
Council’s purpose serve as facilitators for the meeting.

The following Vision Council meeting structure, which would run for 2 hours, is offered as a guideline to
inform and supplement any existing models that Councilors would wish to use.

1. Welcoming (5 mins) – The facilitator(s) welcomes those in attendance, and provides an introduction
to the space (bathrooms, etc). He or she may also give a brief account of the Council’s schedule for
the day as people settle.
 14

2. Opening Ceremony (10 mins) – A brief opening ceremony may also be included after everyone is
seated. This ceremony will be facilitated by a willing soul from within the group. This unites
everyone in spirit.
3. Circle Sharing (25 mins) – The facilitator(s) may invite others in the circle to share a few words of
introduction along with their intent for coming, or some other personal sharing. This activity unites
everyone in heart.
4. Unity Consciousness Experience (25 mins) – We have been gifted with the offer to have a
specialized individual guide the group into a tangible experience of Unity Consciousness. This
exercise and other such practices will serve to heighten the experience of the unified heart, mind,
intents and actions of the group.
5. Break (10 mins)
6. Statement of Purpose (5 mins) – Facilitator(s) call the group back, and once everyone is settled,
states the Council’s Purpose.

Through the creation and implementation of AAO’s Vision Councils we propose a program, and
tools, whereby Ambassadors may unite the like-minded leaders of their area’s holistic communities,
in order to co-create a plan that will help free their region’s peace-loving citizens from their
dependence on our current self-destructive system.

7. Purpose & Prophecy (15 mins) – The Facilitator(s) shares a few words on the nature of prophecy
and the power of Imagination to navigate the unknown as expressed above in the Vision Council -
Purpose & Prophecy section of this document. The facilitator(s) then reads the one-page document
expressing possible events that could occur in the next year, as mentioned above. (This document
will be provided once a region’s Vision Council has been formed.)
8. Focused Visioning (30 mins) – The Council would then go around the circle and each person would
speak their thoughts on 3 – 5 immediate actions that they would suggest be taken to meet the
demands of such events; included here are strategies for alleviating dependency on our current
system. (These ideas would then be recorded for their group’s reference, as well as for that of the
global Vision Council network.)
9. Focused Meditation (10 mins) – A few words would be spoken on the power and purpose of
prayer as mentioned in the Vision Council – Purpose & Prayer section above. The group would then
unite in focused prayer/meditation.
10. Closing (5 mins) – Perhaps a few words of gratitude, or a song, could be could be shared by each
person around the circle as a means of closing it together.

The structure for next Vision Council would vary slightly, with the Purpose & Prophecy portion moving up to
take place right after the Opening Ceremony (60 mins+) and a brief (10 min) Circle Sharing. You may also
wish to extend the Focused Meditation at the end to 15 mins. That said, now that we’ve begun to unite
those in our immediate social sphere, along with our like-minded communities, let’s expand our network by
moving on to the third step.

Step Three – The Plan for Unification

3. Unite with the City’s General Public Solstice-Type Events

Having acknowledged how gifted we are to have been blessed with the lives, interactions and
environments that have supported our search for truth and harmony we feel called to give some of that back
by reaching out to others in our city, whose lives may not have supported such experiences of peace and
unity.

3.1 Summer Solstice-Type Events – Basic Purpose

Through AAO’s Summer Solstice-Type Events we propose a means by which those of us who are uniting
may gather and shine a light for others on the streets of our own cities. Our action of uniting in public
locations will allow us to find, and be found by, others who are seeking change in the darkness of this
falling age, and by those whom we would not typically encounter because of our varied social
backgrounds.

Summer Solstice-Type Events will unite the voices and actions of their participants in public expressions of
love and gratitude for the earth, her oceans and all living things. And in accordance with universal law acts
such as this, where people Unite, to spread Truths, in Compassionate Service; will bring increased balance
and healing to the world’s corresponding negative aspects of fear, ignorance, hate and greed.

Though a Summer Solstice Event could be ANY activity where people Unite to acknowledge Truth, in
Compassionate Service, we offer the following guidelines which may be adapted according to each
Ambassador’s own interests.

3.2 Solstice-Type Event – Suggestions

UNITE IN WHITE: Participants wear white tops to symbolize
the love, light and unity, which connect the individuals in their
city with others around the world who are shining for peace,
the planet and all living things.

ONE WORD GIFT: Each individual writes their one-word gift

to the world (peace, harmony, fun, acceptance, etc) on a
white balloon. This is an important aspect to the event
because it allows each individual the opportunity to Serve by
BEing their gift to the world through the embodiment of their
offering.

THE PRESENTATION: Imagine if you will…. a silent single-file procession where participants dressed in
white hold white balloons displaying their one-word gift to the world in front of their hearts.

Silently embodying their individual offerings of peace, joy and playfulness the procession brings a sense of
upliftment to the space through which it moves and peaks the curiosity of strangers stirred by the curious
sight. Each of the silent participants carries cards that they provide to the curious onlookers. (Card designs
will be emailed to Ambassadors upon request.)
 16

On one side, the cards reads: And on the other:

Before, the procession begins the group’s intentions are aligned through the presentation of a Unified Focus
and Intent from one of the group’s organizers. (This to may be provided upon request, or created by the
organizers.)

The above guidelines are suggested because they are simple, yet versatile, and because they provide each
person the oh-so-important opportunity for self-expression, and personal service. We invite you to create
your own format for bringing a vision of love, unity and service to the streets and ask you to share it with us
through photos and video at: awakeningasone@gmail.com

3.3 Summer Solstice-Type Event - Variations

VARIATIONS: if the means lie within a city’s participants we heartily encourage the inclusion of Song and
Music to the event, in addition to one or two roaming facilitators (people who are outside of the single-file
procession & who pass out cards and/or interact with the onlookers.)

THE PLACE: The striking simplicity of a group of people united in compassionate service, with white
balloons and tops, may be further expanded and explored by taking this basic concept and installing it in
different settings.

It is one thing to weave the procession through a park or sunlit sidewalk teeming with weekend shoppers,
and it is something similar, yet entirely new, to move the procession through soup kitchens, special care
homes or through the chaotic streets of night-time revelers.
 17

Please note, when deciding on a location for your event each group must have safety as the number one
consideration. It is also important to note that the nature of these events is NOT to be mistaken for protests,
rather they are meant as presentations of love and inspiration which occur to reflect the light inside of the
people who experience them and to open the doorway for them to find new information and interactions.

When possible we will synchronize these events to take place at the same time as those in other regions so
that we may unite in prayer and presentation for our Earth, humanity, and all life. Please let us know if you
are interested in facilitating a Solstice-Type Event so that we can inform others in your area, who would
wish to attend.

Now that we have covered methods by which you may begin the process of unifying the peace-loving
citizens of your city on three different levels of interaction, we invite you to imagine how we will unite the
world.

3.4 How We Will Unite the World – We are… Awakening As One

Having presented you with The Plan for Unification detailing ideas that you may adopt, adapt and co-craft
with us, and others in your city, to unite and alleviate the people’s dependence on our current self-
destructive system; we ask you to turn your thoughts to the other 100 willing Ambassadors who have
stepped up in nearly 20 countries around the world to begin the process of unification in their regions.

And now consider that this is just the beginning. For Awakening As One’s release in May was merely a
soft-launch, intended to find others around the world, such as yourselves, with whom we could co-create The
Plan and infrastructure that we would then gift to the world with our global launch of “the Prophecy” near
the end of July.

During this launch, which is being planned with the gracious support of professional marketing strategists,
we will release multiple language versions of “The Call”, “The Plan” and “The Prophecy”, which volunteers
are so generously translating to bring the films’ messages to others around the world.

As the message of peace and unity, and of our infinite potential, spreads across the globe the unified light
of our current 100 Ambassadors will expand as we raise our collective hearts and voices to the world to
sing the song of peace and unity that stirs in the souls of humanity and the earth. And through the brilliance
of our shared light and the clarion ring of our unified voices we will find, and unite, with others who are
willing to work towards harmony for the greater good of all.

Have faith, for we are…

Awakening As One.
