Update on Concept

So some of my ActiveUnity fans have some very reasonable questions on what exactly this whole project is about. What exactly is the ActiveUnity concept? Is it something other people will be able to get involved in? Are you actually going to finish any of these ActiveUnities that you've started?

Alright already! :P I only got the brass tacks put down a few months ago, and those have been changing and updating weekly! With that bit of information out there, beware, this concept could very well change again. 2008 will see many big things coming in the pretext of ActiveUnity, and those may vary from the ideas of concept of today.

ActiveUnity is being created as an online community for active people, and people looking to become more active. The very basic concept is to have a community of people with the goal of getting away from the TV, computer, and books to actually go outside or grab a pencil and some drawing paper and create something! To be an active participant and this oh so short thing we call life, and enjoy it! Find things you've always wanted to do, make a plan to do them, meet other people who have done them or are doing them, learn about other things that you'd like to do.

Keep track of all the big activities you've done. Wanted to do something that no one else has yet done for ActiveUnity? Create your own ActiveUnity writing about all the required sections an ActiveUnity requires. Have something to add to a current ActiveUnity? Post it for other people to read and have it voted on to be an everytime part of the project! This will be an ever expanding and growing online community of knowledge, sharing, and participating in the things you've always dreamed of! Get out there and do it.

The Era of Active Unity

So we all know dreams can be a direct representation of reality when properly followed through on. Well that's what this blog is all about. Here I will create what was previously thought of as my retirement dream (and still do to a larger scale), which is a tracking and sharing and teaching of the activities I want to learn, participate in, and master in my time here on earth. Making a list of those activities is something I suggest everyone reading this participates in, for it is probably one of the most motivating, enlightening and easiest activities one can start on.

It was brought to my attention, though, that there is no reason I can't start my soon to be widely used website, podcast, and perhaps printed journals NOW! Right here on blogger where I can receive feedback, as well as a free/easy-to-use vehicle for putting the rubber to the road. I'm realizing life is speeding along a lot quicker than I can fathom. And after creating my list I realize I've got more things to accomplish in my life than I'm sure I have time for! Better get started.

Why Active Unity you might ask? Why this concept? Well the two of those questions help answer each other. Convenient. I don't believe people truly understand and digest all the things they do until they explain or 'teach' their activities and concepts to others. My explaining to you the title of Active Unity allows me to put myself in a situation where I have to think closely on what otherwise could have been explained as a gut instinct; where all the thoughts synapsing away in my mind could have easily escaped into the black hole of my subconscious. Now I get to repeat those synapses and put them into terms others would understand, forcing myself out of my head and into yours. A novel idea. Here goes:

Activity, in itself, is life. Everything we do, every situation we put ourselves into, is a direct reflection of our inner evolution, our every changing life. And since all of this keeps building on top of itself, everything I have done and am doing effects everything I am doing and will do. A unity of my activities. Moving on from this point, much of what I am doing and what I have done has been incredibly influenced by the activities I read about, hear about, see, other people doing. Activity catapults activity and through action there is unity. Active Unity. Take what you see and build on it. I will.
