We must think in terms of planning for the long-term with desirable objectives and milestones achieved at pre-designated intervals. Of course we cannot know what the entire process will look like, what stages humanity will pass through, what capacities need to be developed at each stage, but the pathway will be made clearer through a systematic process of learning, flexibility, and collective action.

As we learn more about the process of community building and how to effectively contribute to it, certain questions are made evident. For instance, what is my conception of community and what contributions can I make to assist in its development? What are those qualities, skills, and abilities needed to be developed in individuals and in groups in order to build a vibrant community? An innovative framework to inspire a global vision for change must address such questions forthrightly, and with foresight and wisdom provide the principles needed to guide the process through to fruition.

Cultivation a spirit of service has profound implications for ourselves as a member of a community. Furthermore, the manner in which we approach acts of service we undertake demonstrates the quality of leadership that provides impetus for improved family relationship, demonstrates selflessness and diligence in making right choices, and the willingness to put the interests of the collective before our own. It means to devote ourselves to doing things with excellence, to be ready to collaborate, and to move beyond inertia that often holds us back from working to the best of our ability. This, then, becomes inclusive to the innovative framework we now labor to bring into being, to begin to express the capacity latent within us that can be developed and strengthened through consistent effort, the acquisition of knowledge, and reflection on human commonality and its operative spiritual core.
