Faced with problems on a scale far beyond that which humanity has ever imagined or confronted in the past, we are now FORCED to become EFFECTIVE at generating viable SOLUTIONS for all of humanity. In order to move BEYOND the red/blue Republican/Democrat standoff we need a way to obtain mutually BENEFICIAL solutions. The Purple Dialogue is a LIVE communication process with the TWO-WAY exchange of information. Words do not communicate meaning and intent accurately so verification needs to take place. If there is ever disagreement on any issue then this means that both sides do not UNDERSTAND each other. At least one side needs to learn something new. They either need to learn how to express themselves better or they need to learn what the other side is trying to say, or both. Once BOTH sides UNDERSTAND each other accurately then mutually beneficial solutions become more obvious. Barack Obama is a good example of how The Purple Dialogue is used to express solution-oriented possibilities that take all points-of-view into consideration. The Purple Dialogue, a way to UNDERSTAND each other.
The world seems to be divided between two extremes represented by the colors RED and BLUE.
"If there is a choice of ONLY two options then choose a third."
If RED represents POWER and BLUE represents WISDOM then don't we need a combination of BOTH in order to really accomplish anything useful?
The Purple People Power ("Purple") position or perspective is that we are all one and that profoundly important issues can not be grouped with other issues and split between two polarized political parties. Each issue must be addressed separately according to its own specific merits. Life is NOT a RED (Republican) or BLUE (Democrat) choice but rather the "Purple" application of wisdom and knowledge according to a person's own individual experience IN RELATION TO the experience of everyone else. "If you have the choice of ONLY two options then choose a THIRD option." A Purple or Unified position represents the TRUE majority.
Our symbol of the red and the blue colors swirling or spiraling into purple represents the blending of UNDERSTANDING and not necessarily agreement. By understanding each other's point-of-view we can better explain our own point of view in a way that the specific other person can understand it.
Religion
An example of a Purple or Unified position in regard to Religion might be if people understood that religions use ancient metaphors (symbolism, allegories, parables, fables, anthropomorphisms, etc.) in their language that for them represent literal fact but when translated or interpreted into today's versions of other languages appear to be obvious fiction then perhaps you can understand the frustration that comes from this simple misunderstanding that causes major arguments and wars?
Pro-Life/Pro-Choice
An example of a Purple or Unified position in regard to Abortion is that pro-life and pro-choice can exist simultaneously if people understand that they do not need to take the life of an unborn child and that if they truly do not want to or are otherwise unable to take care of the child that they can "Safe Surrender" the child to an appropriate agency like a hospital, fire station, or police station anonymously. If you call one of these agencies they will even come to you if necessary.
Socialism, Capitalism, & Healthcare
An example of a Purple or Unified position in regard to either working for the state/government or working for oneself or chosen corporate entity (socialistic vs. capitalistic) is that each individual person should have the choice of having everything provided for them including healthcare at a minimal level of subsistence in exchange for a particular type of work, or, to work for oneself or the employer of their choice and receive the level of subsistence of their own particular personal need or desire and choose their own healthcare provider.
Homosexuality/Gender Ambiguous/Gay Marriage
An example of a Purple or Unified position in regard to gay, homosexuality, and/or same-sex marriage is that if we realize that different people have different combinations of male and female organs, hormones, genes, DNA, etc. and that each outward manifestation or appearance of a human being may be different than what is actually on the inside then who is to say what gender a person actually is so as to deny that person partnership with the specific other person of their choice? Some people with breasts and a vagina ALSO have internal testes. Some people with a penis ALSO have internal ovaries. It is time that we recognized our individual unique differences and understand that we are all ONE in our respective uniquenesses.
Better Explanations
We ALL need to endeavor to explain ourselves better as well as listen to the needs and experiences of other people as a means of understanding the totality of the situation and to allow our collective genius to provide the solutions that benefit ALL of us.
What is YOUR example of a Unified/Purple perspective of the issue that is most important to you? SEND US A VIDEO!
Purple People Power is not only a blend of all possibilities it is the expression of wisdom in such a manner that YOU, the ultimate voter and decision maker, has an informed understanding of the issues that YOU are concerned with. Purple People Power stands as a beacon of hope so that everyone can feel confident that there is a sense of stability of a grounded practical group consciousness and conscious awareness among the people who TRULY make a difference.
Who I'd like to meet:
In order of perceived practicality: William McDonough, Ken Wilber, Oprah Winfrey, Al Gore, Dalai Lama
I'd like to meet people who want to talk about what it would be like to be a part of a TRUE majority, the people who want to get along with everyone else. I'd like to meet people who are interested in working out our differences and helping each other learn stuff that we might not already know.
Unimaginable human suffering and mass animal extinction from global warming. A peak oil crisis threatening economic collapse. A national security nightmare brought on by our dependence on foreign oil.
Dear PurplePeoplePower. net: Thank God our guy will be the nominee! Thank you for YourFriendship. My eight-year-old-peace-activist son Axil's quest for World Peace Before 2021 is gaining momentum! Please embrace him AND his song "World Peace Before 2021" which he sings beautifully. His performance can be seen on MySpace, his webpage www. worldpeacebefore2021. com and/or YouTube (by searching his name Axil Kollist.) I have a feeling Axil will be singing his song “World Peace Before 2021” at Obama’s Inauguration in January! It is my intention to post a new video of him singing his song every few months so people can watch his talent grow as impressively as the momentum for his quest! I'm sharing two photos with you. The first is of my son distributing his free world peace bumperstickers and the second photo is of him singing his song “World Peace Before 2021” at Maui's Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Day Festivities in January 08. Best regards, Axil Kollist’s mom
It's long past time that we march up and embraced our Hillary supporting brothers and sisters with warmth and gratitude for fighting so hard to achieve change in America. We Cannot afford to allow McCain to sit in the White House and adopt the same failed tactics and policies as our current incompetent leader. This Country CANNOT afford to wait for change, and it doesn't deserve to wait! Hillary supporters know as well as anyone that change and spreading real hope in America and abroad is what we need going forward! Take a Stand! Extend a Hand! Together United We WILL Make A Difference. -Tucker
