GINI, the Good Ideas Network Initiative is a multi-level project based on developing collaborative intelligence
and diverse micro community intiatives based on networking
good ideas and solutions within a local and global framework.
We consistently see and hear about plentiful good ideas, successful initiatives and an enormous wealth of intelligence throughout the planet. While at the same time
we see equally a lack of good ideas and intitiatives being used and that our use of available intelligence is controlled and filtered through a minority of the population
easily diverted by their own agendas and vested interests that are exercised with remmoteness from the realities of the majority of ordinary people including the significant intelligence
and experience of those pople.
This project is as involved with accessing and utilising good ideas as involved with understanding the enormous resistance and mindsets that
that block or decline to use them and/or are hardwired to redirect the resources potentially available and needed by all consistently in the direction of the already resourced.
We consistently identify and agree that the first most important component of a healthy and resourced community is HOME.
Both as a physical structure and as a collaborative, supportive and vibrant community where we can feel safe and connected inside ourselves, inside our home, within our
community and within the nature that gives rise to and supports us as living beings.
Not prioritsing, barely discussing and allowing market forces to consistently degrade, limit and make it more and more difficult for people to both have the essential resource of a
an adequate home but also to limit their ability to move and adjust thier needs is arguably one of THE biggest elephants in the room.
We think that fully acknowledging and prioritising home, and all other essenetial needs of human beings, has to be at the foundation of any (collaboratively) intelligent evolution of awareness to revolutionise the
rights, well being, connectivity and productivity of individuals, local community, society and the world as a whole.
Rethinking and reframing how the needs and resources provided by nature to enable us to survive and thrive, we think is an absolute necessity in any approach to solving the sytemic problems that more often get
obscured by chaotic and fragmented sytems that have clearly lost their way.

We suggest two essential things. Firstly that fully supporting the needs and uniqueness of all individuals and ensuring all essential needs
are met provides the foundation for a healthy, fully resourced and collaborative
communtity
able to access the fullness of it's intelligence and that when the right balance is achieved a vital symbiotic relationship between the empowered individual and the empowered community
creates a mutually empowering relationship and collaborative intelligence able to accessthe full potential of humanity.
Secondly. We have come to prioritise our tangible, material and structural reality over our internal,
psychological/spiritual reality where everything that we do originates. The depth and significance of this imbalance as well as its invisibility within education and mainstream dicussion and understanding
is, we contend, hugely underestimated and we believe it is the front line and foundation of the radical change needed to reshape and reconnect to our inner self,
each other and to rebuild a resilient, sustainable new story that understands itself well enough to work.
This imbalance within our internal space and within external activity is also reflected in how we interact with nature as if the planet and miraculous conditions that support our life
can be ignored and destroyed while we get on with what we think is more important activity.
We believe that the constant polarisation and arguing, the staggering imbalance and commoditisation of resources, the incredible sums spent on weapons of human
obliteration, the routine and unecessary cruelty and suffering routinely happening to people and the readiness and support of war are all obvious signs of significant
psychological deprivation and sickness.
And we believe restoring the empowerment of individuals through working with increasingly available psychological and therapeutic skills and building sustainable,
safe and fulfilling collectives working towards collaborative intelligence is some part of the answer to this.
With essential skills and an evolving new story, we seek to build linked micro communities that can become part of a foundation of a totally new approach to
provision of essential needs, creativity and resilient community that is able to become more and more empowered through the healing of it's members and
the increasing power of collaborative intelligence.
In order to understand and develop the radical and sytemic change that is needed to establish a new story that is genuinely able to rebuild and maintain the sustainable
and effective connectivity that is required for true collaborative intelligence we need to access be the best minds, acess the best ideas and successful projects
on the planet and bring both together as an accessible resource for all that believe change is possible.
