A great insight matters little unless and until we bring it into the world
Action is the final and necessary step in Quest. What kind of action? It doesn’t matter much, as long as it is offered publicly and in a way that breaks through pleasantries, addresses the root issue, and creates a climate of affection and reflection.
How it works
• Share the Quest in any public or quasi-public space.
• Hand out an Invitation card or pamphlet. Ask them to enter a process of thoughtfulness about an issue that affects the Place they are using.
Principles
• Any social problem can be resolved at the root level.
• Invitations work by creating awareness. The more people we invite, the more momentum there is.
• It is always possible to reach the heart of the protagonist.

City-wide engagement and Visionary political platform
Citywide engagement Stage small and large meetings to bring respectful discussion to divisive, polarized issues. Show how it is possible to resolve political issues in a visionary way, with humility, respect, insight, and courage.
Each meeting should have a place for Visionary society tools such as Reflect (see your own position inside of this mess) and Explore (entertain helpfully positions you oppose). Create a space for an unexpected solution. Most of all, meetings should create a climate of affection and reflection.
Visionary political platform After a sustained process of exploring a political issue, and finding an unexpected, curative resolution, it can become part of a broader effort.
This platform would be a fresh way of organizing ourselves. Of managing conflicting interests and our violent nature. Of controlling immense wealth. Of supporting businesses that are healthy and humane. Of fostering exquisite sensitivity to the
in the community.
When we start making progress with this, we can present it to the public as a new kind of political platform. One that teaches how to respond to a political issue in a non-political way. One that sensitive, thoughtful people anywhere can embrace.
