NEWS:

YES, You're in the right place. Former title of this pod/Group was
Collective Wisdom: The Hall of Fame for Zaadz Threads.

THIS POD HAS RECENTLY UNDERGONE A MAKEOVER. FORGIVE ANY INCONSISTENT LANGUAGE OR INSTRUCTIONS THAT MIGHT REMAIN.
 
There is a very long and informative discussion about this pod/Group here http://pods.gaia.com/is_there_a_god/discussions/view/255587#256644 I invite you to check it out. It's about the recent makeover of the pod, and some perspectives on its purpose, and its origins in my heart.

——————————————————————————————-

GROUP/POD DESCRIPTION:

Buried treasure. Wasted wisdom. Have you ever read a thread on Zaadz/Gaia Community and wished it could be turned into a book or article and shared with the world, because so much wisdom was represented and presented there?

I have been inspired by the Seeds System to start this pod/Group to call attention to, and honor, and share, these threads. Most essentially, I view this pod/group as a library (more than as a forum for interactions among Members.) Like a library, we will accept probably all donations/contributions and keep them probably forever.

The ultimate purpose of this Group/Pod is the upliftment of all, of the world, through providing greater visibility for and access to and sharing of the wisdom, perspectives, and information available from our Community, so this wisdom can find its way into greater expression/usefulness in the co-creation of our Better World.



Please understand the How Tos and Guidelines before you post/enter/contribute/add any thread. See the How it Works Board. In sum, anyone can contribute to this library (by posting a link to) any pod/group discussion thread, or blog with comments, that you see as containing Collective Wisdom.

I am looking for another Moderator or two, to share the fun/work here. Please volunteer!!!!!

This pod is completely open to modification and co-creation, so please email the Cultivator with ideas, contributions, suggestions, for the way the pod might be improved!!!! Or post these in the How It Works Board.

I don't know where this will go. The future might hold a bigger destiny for our Collective Wisdom. Greater minds than I are pondering these possibilities.

But for now, you can call attention to any thread you have run across that you think is worth people's time, and which demonstrates the power of our collective wisdom, and offers a significant resource for many people.

Nearly everyone faces the classic issues of life: raising children, dealing with death and relationship endings, seeking one's own spirituality, coping with fears, pondering hatred and peace, exploring what love really means. And Community Members always wonder: What is this site really about? Where is it coming from?

Wouldn't it be helpful to hear from maybe over a dozen folks about their experiences and the insights they've gained? That's the kind of wisdom available in this living Library.

How is wisdom defined? It is more than information, more than theory, more than ideas. Here are some ingredients of wisdom as I see it, to help guide you in selecting threads:

knowledge,
 understanding,
compassion,
acceptance of diversity,
 seeing different perspectives,
results of personal trial-and-error

based on personal experiences in life

PLUS
practical, useful, real-world information,
guidelines for action, etc.

Go for it!!!!

Hey, when you join Collective Wisdom do remember to get onto Notifications for new posts to this pod/Group, so you can keep track of new posts very easily. Notifications are in the “Settings” section, link displayed in upper right all site pages.

If you are looking for wisdom on a particular topic, like parenting, grief, love, peace, etc. you will probably have pretty good luck putting some words (perhaps one at a time) into the “search this group” field, upper right of pages. The “tags” we make up for the threads are not themselves links, but they provide fodder for the search function.

The pod/Group icon is http://integral.typepad.com/photos/mandalas/camp_slogget_flower.html from Mark Gehrke, my Friend, and Gaia Community Team member, and incredible mandala photo creator, http://everyday.zaadz.com

Take the time to click on the mandala's URL and see its magnificence larger, closeup. I chose it to represent Collective Wisdom: dark and light and many shades, each individual section lovely in itself, yet woven together and even beyond being woven: adding up to a single coherent Beauty, a whole, a Something. Like a good Thread.
