Five STEEP Stressors Toward Catastrophe
(2006)
• Population stress: overall increase and the difference in rate of increase between rich and poor countries
• Energy stress: increasing scarcity and cost of conventional oil
• Environmental stress from mounting damage to land, sea and air
• Climate stress as the atmosphere responds to global heating
• Economic stress from the widening gap between rich and poor people within countries and between countries

An Adequate Guiding Image for sustainable well-being should:
1. Provide a holistic sense of perspective on life 2. Entail an ecological ethic3. Entail a self-realization ethic4. Be multi-leveled, multi- faceted, and integrative5. Lead to a balancing and coordinating of satisfactions
along many dimensions6. Be proactive, experimental and open-ended.

Two Aspects of Resilience
• Adaptation – Weathering “the storm” as best you can and getting things back to normal as soon as possible
• Transformation – Using the changes wrought by the storm to stimulate reformation leading to a “new normal.” Catagenesis (Homer-Dixon)
![Page 41: First Three Parts of This Multi-Media Series](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56814299550346895daeca28/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Definitions of Resilience• Resilience, in general, is the capacity of a
system to absorb disturbance and reorganize while undergoing change so as to still retain essentially the same function, structure, identity, and feedbacks.
• Resilience in psychology is the positive capacity of people to cope with stress and adversity.
• Ultimately, resilience is our ability to withstand crises.
![Page 42: First Three Parts of This Multi-Media Series](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56814299550346895daeca28/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Principles of Resilience• Diversity: Not relying on a single kind of solution means not
being damaged from a single point of failure.
• Redundancy: Backup, backup, backup. Never leave yourself with just one path of escape or rescue.
• Decentralization: Centralized systems look strong, but they are often brittle; when they fail, they fail catastrophically.
• Collaboration: We’re all in this together. Take advantage of collaborative technologies, especially those offering shared communication and information.
• Transparency: It is easier to figure out where a problem lies when plans, preparations and actions are shared.
![Page 43: First Three Parts of This Multi-Media Series](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56814299550346895daeca28/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Principles of Resilience, Cont’d.
• Fail gracefully: Failure happens, so make sure that a failure state won’t make things worse than they are already.
• Flexibility: be ready to change your plans when they are not working the way you expected; don’t count on things remaining stable.
• Foresight: You can’t predict the future of complex adaptive systems, but you think, intuit and prepare.

Deep Resilience
• Deep resilience is a way of being that is sourced by our inmost reserves (physical, mental, emotional, moral and spiritual).
• With deep resilience, pain and suffering do not necessarily equate to psychic suffering.

The Two “New Directions”
1. Principles and promise of Happiness and Positive Psychology for deep resilience:The work of Shawn Achor
2. Principles and promise of Ascension: The work of Sal Rachele
![Page 49: First Three Parts of This Multi-Media Series](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56814299550346895daeca28/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
The First New Direction
The Happiness Advantage:The Seven Principles of
Positive Psychology that Fuel Success and Performance at Work
by Shawn Achor(2010)
![Page 50: First Three Parts of This Multi-Media Series](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56814299550346895daeca28/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
What is “Happiness?”
• Pleasure combined with deeper feelings of meaning and purpose
• The joy we feel striving after our potential• Ten principal correlates: joy, gratitude,
serenity, interest, hope, pride, amusement, inspiration, awe, love.
![Page 51: First Three Parts of This Multi-Media Series](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56814299550346895daeca28/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Principal Assertions• Happiness causes success, not vice versa; all types
of success (health, wealth, effectiveness, sociability, creativity, friendship)
• Happiness produces neural changes associated with creativity and effective problem, solving—especially under conditions of stress (i.e., resilience)
• Due to “neuroplaticity,” habitual happiness can be “learned”
• Due to a neural “mirror effect,” happiness is contagious
• Principal cause of happiness: [What do you think?]

Principal Assertions
• Earth civilization has been influenced by extra-terrestrial civilizations for eons
• Major astronomical cycles “synching up;” many earth changes to be expected
• Expected collapse of major societal systems and great reduction of world population in next 20 years; Many great earth civilizations in “prehistory” also collapsed
• “Ascension” into a higher conscious domain of reality now opening up for those who are ready.
