Video: Connecting the Good: Weaving Islands of Coherence into a Parallel Society

In 9-Minutes!

Dear friends,

Whether you’ve been journeying with me over the past year—or are just arriving now—I’m so glad you’re here. Birthing the Symbiotic Age has been slowly coming to life through these writings, your feedback, and the growing resonance of this community.

Across the world, millions of people and groups are already working for compassion, justice, and the common good in faith communities, civic spaces, local food and economy networks, mutual aid circles, small businesses, and cultural renewal projects.

You may have heard of these as “islands of coherence.”

They are expressions of Divine Love, already active in the world, offering care, connection, and transformation. But they often remain disconnected, siloed, or invisible to one another.

👉Rooted in decades of real experience, this Video offers a vision of how these sacred threads might be woven into coherent, living communities — together forming a new global commonwealth, a Culture of Connection.

What if we could begin weaving these separate threads into a whole community tapestry—a living, breathing Parallel Society grounded in sacred Virtues, mutual benefit,
and regenerative action?

What’s missing is not more passion or projects—it’s coherence.

Coherence doesn’t require starting yet another project. It begins with recognizing what’s already working and connecting it with Love and intention.

In the video, I share a bit of my personal story and offer a broader vision of what’s possible when we Connect the Good already happening locally and worldwide, guided not by ideology, but by Divine Love as the most untapped Power for social and civic transformation.

I hope this message affirms something you know to be true and helps you feel less isolated in your work. If it speaks to you, please share it with others carrying their own thread of this incredible unfolding.

In the meantime, please check out these relevant posts:

The first is about the origins of the Parallel Polis (society). The second and third posts are the Preface and the Introduction from my upcoming book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age.

BOOK UPDATE:
While I originally hoped to release the book in early summer, more weaving is still needed. The revised launch is now expected in late summer or early fall 2025. But the movement at the book's heart is already here—and it’s moving.

Feel free to reply to this email. With gratitude and anticipation, Richard
