KM and sovereignty of renewal (part 1)

"Soveriegnty is the ability to make decisions in serene maturity and the capacity to implement these decisions with complete wisdom and responsability."

Like it or not, French, English and Aboriginal people of Canada must find their comon identity, from stanger to family of the human race. To these free books of KM from the Canadian Knowledge Management institute, I add on the lyrics from two of the theme songs of the project ...cleansing our vision of the Crown... You can view the coming together of the this vision in the following link:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A9247296
Here are the lyrics of songs which are writen to serve the cause of the sovereign reconciliation of Canadians and to serve as a contributor to Europe's transition into unity, as well as to ease in the local-global harmonisation.

INVISIBLE GOLD RUSH OF BEING ALBERTAN

2005 is the year when I turn one hundred years old! One century spent to
define the life within brand new borders, where borders had never existed
before, but where nations had flourished for thousands of years, and in 1905
the time had arrived for the Empire to stretch to the west in hope for
improvement.
When I was named as a Canadian province, John Campbell wrote to his wife: "In token of the love which thou has shown for this wide land of freedom, I have named a province vast and for its beauty famed by thy dear name. " Thus was I introduced to the nations, with a name of the 4th daughter of Queen Victoria…
…Alberta is my name, t'was inspired with honor from a man's love for his wife, known to be strong, artistic with exquisite taste! That couple was forward-looking people, concerned for the less fortunate. The name they gave me placed me well to avoid the Eastern mistakes of the Empire.
I've now been led past the threshold, 2 at the top of the material world. Not
long before my centennial, the Empire was dragged into terror. And so if I am to celebrate It must be from a wise vision of humility and of service for
mankind. There's just no time to pretend that all is well the way it is…
…Let the ones who are and who will be me into Life's sacred fire, the invisible gold rush, thus entering the celebration that never ends, the celebration in the Spirit of Life, Oh nobly bright and illustrious. Radiant of the Spirit of justice, peace and joy...(continue next post)...

KM and sovereignty of renewal (part2)

...(from previous post)...

And so from Emily Murphy to Betty Hewes to Jan Arden to Lois Hole from Grant MacEwan to Ian Tyson to the Mannix and Manning families. We can see through my past century enough potency of meaning for anyone to catch on fire in the Faith and Hope that settles our humanity Into the simplicity.
Of the majesty we are all created to be living in, the majesty of the Eternal,
who's love secures my destiny in the meaning of my name: "Nobly bright and illustrious". is what Alberta means. Such Albertan I grow to be by the Spirit of wisdom and love, as I care for the less fortunate. Benoit Couture ©Subsense Publishing and Promotion

...then to Canada from Quebec...
CALL to CANADA Could we reach the agreement that it's the whole world who is in need to see a place like Canada to show that free will can be a good thing.
In 1945 we were invited to join a deal. Most of the nations had great hope to bring peace among humans.
After fifty some years, great challenges are facing us. The deal has not provided what we forgot to look after.
We just cannot go on, building wealth for me, myself and I, while our loving for each other remains hidden behind divisions.
We've got to grow from that bottom line that has been in use and bring about that sense of belonging, bonded beyond the business fences.
Maybe we haven't understood that prosperity only comes to us from who we are together and not from what we do to each other.
We have all it takes to become heaven on earth; we have been blessed with wealth, now let's lead wealth to prosperity.
Believe it or not, it is the whole world who is in need to see a place like Canada to show that the renewing Covenant is unity for humanity.

The fine tunings of networking (part 1)

"Knowledge management is dead, long live networking", "has been the theme of many conference organizers..." Such was the quote that was posted this week, by a leader of KM.
I see in the initial statement of "KM is dead, long live networking", the entire scene of subliminal exploitation of youthful
innocence of the mind, putting in place the dispositions to intice with deceit, into the ongoing suicidal desease caused by the animal-
human competition drive that goes on resisting the simplity of completion. Command and control structures going on remasking itself anew to proceed with divide and conquer, the very nature of
the beast. Those who ezploit the speed of thechnologies' advancements in such a way are defeating the entire purpose of thecnology's existance to serve humanity and instead, they keep ignoring the shore of settlement to go from and to, in the Faculty of Living from stranger to family, in the experience of the organic-experience of spiritual unity. Anyone who insists that "KM is dead long live networking", has not realized yet the continuity and complete inclusion of one with the other. One of the fundamental theme I insist upon is the healing of the meaning. With this kind of divide and conquer statements and attitudes, we are given a
perfect example of how absolute, is the must to do heal the meaning indeed! Meaning is needed where meaning lives. In the case
of "net" and "working", we have a word that invites us to deep reflectios of absolute ground. I see in the synergy of these 2
words a complicity such, that it clear the path for transparency to unite all KM experts into the elimination of "out of bound
competition". Out of bound competition is defined by the attitudes of conflict generating, coupled by solution resistant. To those awaits the humus process of desintegration, for the sake of regeneration.
Net means clean, refinement exhaustivly completed. People who are working in the net way, are individuals who are contributing to the completion of humanity. If networking tries to run away from KM, it will phase out the entire movement of open source transparency.

The fine tunings of networkings (part 2)

...(continued from above)...

As far as I can understand, when it comes to technology, open source transparency is the only point of meeting, where networking has the opportunity to spread intelligence from out of the order of divide and conquer for the sake of perpetuating the oppressive structures of command and control.

My latest attempt at navigating toward such shore of completion as I seek, was this week, when I sent the following email to the Canadian Institute of Knowledge Management, which I pasted from the posting below the one you read now...

...following the pasting...

One quote that I made up is: "Going from brown to green is the spiritual networking that provides the one opportunity for humanity to clean its way from brown-nosing of old to the green living of the
heart and of the spirit..."

The wisest KM manager I know went on to address the dilema with the following:

Knowledge Managent is dead...long live networking has been the theme that many conference organisers have been discussing with me recently

That's as may be- but can DM be the first to develop a blog format for multiplying your network of goodwill. Here's an attempt - let's see which Mice collaborate to multiply even more goodwill given the extraordinary standards linkedin (et al Footnote) people aroud me have been setting fired up by the London bombings and need to connect spiritual links our culture has lost forever. I'll be having a summer clean of my DM postings now this blog makes memory tracking simpler for those who do have a big project to multiply who's truly who.

Footnote:

7 million bookmarks on Collaboration Knowledge City connecting 100 cause goals and 200 Networks for Humanity and 30000 Projects & economics that sustains.

May God bless the passage from the beast's holdings to the communal safety of good health and hapiness of the present...amen... Benoit Couture

Can we go from free books to free minds?

Free Books from the Canadian Institute of Knowledge Management

Interestingly, the open space KM is on the threshold of networking and must decide on the lighting intensity that humanity can manage without destroying itself. By learning to apply reconciliation as needed, clarity is what we need from KM and networking. Being myself from Canada and finding myself on the EU Knowledge Board looking to find support for transparency, it would seem natural to find our alliance together. In case my email to you did not get through to reach you when I tried to reach you shortly after you posted your books here on the Eu Board, here is a copy of it.

From a member of Canadian of EU KM Board

Greetings Canadian Institute of KM,

I thank you very much for the gift of your books posted at the EU KM Board.
What information do you require to determine if your institute could take on
the task to follow through with me in bringing the Privy Council of Canada
and all related activities concerning the nature of our national citizenship
from secrecy to the transparency, so that we can begin to manage from
simplicity of the open source KM at the center of decision making.
I know enough about KM of the past, to realise that I know nearly nothing,
other than to go on with transparency, as you will understand quickly why I
must do so, when you see in the cyber affirmation and self-determination
that I pursue.
My page at the EU Board is:
http://www.knowledgeboard.com/cgi-site/whoswho.cgi?action=detail&authorid=749637&id=134089
The campaign I wish to ignite is layed out from:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/U1590685
The point of gravity that I brought on and which sparked the interest of the
EU Board, Chris Macrae and many more in the last 3 months, is the letter
that I wrote to her majesty, Queen ElisabethII, when she came to Alberta in
MAY 05: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A4304909
Between the interest of Chris Macrae to see the BBC's entry as the largest
server of publicly owned transparency tool and my aim to position CBC into
supplying the BBC with the simplicity in the focus from local to global, you
might decide to take on the facilitating position in the transitions
involved. Thank you for you time and consideration, Benoit Couture,

Thanks

Thank you Dr Randy Frid for the free downloads. One of the challenges of the knowledge society however is not obtaining information but getting the time to read and use it. I hope I can find enough time to value your generosity.
