Mind Mapping, online tools and planetary evolution

Working on my Masters Degree learning contract today I spent an hour supported by Grifen Hope and Javiera Carrion of Ecoescuela El Manzano documenting my learning design. During this dynamic process Grifen mapped my thinking in a program he likes to use called Mindmanager.

In order for me to view the document holding the structure of my learning design, I went a a change to convert the file type into .mm format for freemind .0.9.0

This catalyzed me to sign up for mindmeister, an amazing online collaboration tool that allows for exporing and importing mindmaps as well as working on them simultaniously with online collaborators. This tool was first brought to my attention as a tool of best practice by Kiterina Webber, and member of the German ROG.

So, I find myself sitting here at El Manzano, Biobio Chile, following up on advice given to me by a member of the German ROG at HuehueCoyotl Ecovillage in Morelos Mexico. Funny local, global world we live in eh?


This map gives a good overview of online tools that enable this kind of global collaboration to take place, and are empowering the grassroots mobilization of world changers. This technology is enabling us to create flexible organization around shared vision. This type of web2.0, adhoc, organizational structure is both collaborative and agile.

This type of collaboration is a very clear sign of the growing influence of the synergetic systems thinking and ability to collaborate that charecterizes what Spiral Dynamics calls Yellow (GT) thinking.

With the combination of high tech communications technology, a keen awareness of group process (social), systems thinking and awareness of environmental process (eco), and somatic awareness, we start to see the glimers of true intelegence, and the hope that humans can persue a course of consiouce evolution in step with the processes and needs of mother earth.

The protonoosphere that is the internet, seems to be evolving rapidly towards a connecting intellegence analogous to our own neural pathways....
with raising complexity we find increased emergence...
Web Technology as sacred




Here we go!
