~ Circles Within Circles ~

Once I was in Victoria,
and I saw a very large house.
They told me it was a bank
and that the white men place their money
there to be taken care of,
and that by and by
they got it back with interest.
We are Indians and we have no such bank;
but when we have plenty of money or blankets,
we give them away to other chiefs and people,
and by and by
they return them with interest,
and our hearts feel good.
Our way of giving is our bank.
-Chief Maquinna, Nootka
What this illustrates is how far humanity has strayed from the purpose of life.
We are not here to build businesses, and armies, and corporations,
or find new ways of exploiting each other. We are not here to gain power
over others and destroy our home world right from under our feet.
No, we are here to love.
All of humanity exists to nurture each other and the earth and prepare
our children for what is to come. We are here to rejoice and share the
natural abundance of the world. We are here to overcome fear, prejudice,
and hate, that we may evolve someday and remove judgment from our lives.
To do this, we must make people the focus
again and not profit or power-over others. We must re-learn what community
is, that we may return to a world of abundance where we treat each other with
honor and respect.
We must remember that the ground we walk upon is sacred and to love,
above all else, to simply love.
To cheat oneself out of love
is the most terrible deception:
it is an eternal loss
for which there is no reparation,
either in time or in eternity.
-Kierkegaard
I propose then, a simple global community activity
exactly like the practice of the Indians
that will engender and teach our children how
to return to a world of abundance by developing
relationships based in Power with
others,
...that our hearts may feel good again.
How Circles Within Circles works:
Since dollars are the international rate of exchange that is most accepted,
they will be used as a means of redistributing resources.
They are easy to send around the globe, and we will use them
as the medium for enacting change through Giving In Action,
demonstrating how Gratitude Is Abundance.
First of all, it is important that you begin with the understanding
that this is not a business.
While great wealth and abundance may come to you and your friends,
and everyone else who continues the Circles, it is merely an example
of people expressing gratitude without expectations
and demonstrating that:
Giving and receiving in increasing circles
will increase giving and receiving.
- Elonifer Skyhawk
Use your abundance wisely and pay your taxes.
The mathematical similarities of this plan to pyramid or Ponzi schemes,
multi-level marketing, gifting clubs, or other business
or investment models, is only because when seeking a cure for a virus,
you must use a part of that virus to create an anti-virus.
The irony is that all of these illegal models themselves
are attempts to exploit the universal laws of giving and receiving.
Further, even though this is not a business, I have re-worked
all the mathematical improbabilities in order to ensure that
Circles within Circles
remains sustainable and legal.
All issues that might render this unacceptable to legal bodies,
have been modified, or removed all together.
The basic math is undeniable.
If the pyramid structured hierarchies of the world,
which are legally in power, could be taken as a whole,
they themselves would technically be illegal and against
FTC (Federal Trade Commission) regulations,
because they violate the clause that requires them
to be sustainable. Devouring and destroying the resources
of the planet in the name of profit and endless expansion
is not sustainable!
The whole system of power-over
structures is unsustainable,
does not lead to peace, is detrimental to Life and Liberty,
and renders the Pursuit of Happiness
to a hopeless chase.
Money is neither my god nor my devil.
It is a form of energy that tends to make us more
of who we already are,
whether it's greedy or loving.
-Dan Millman
I don't expect the FTC to rule against all businesses anytime soon.
Almost all legal and illegal businesses and enterprises, have one
thing in common with each other. There is always one or only a
handful of executives prospering at the top while the hopeless masses
struggle endlessly at the bottom with denial of choice.
There is no pyramid structure like this whatsoever in
Circles within Circles
. Anyone who joins a Circle will equally
flow through the life-cycle of a Circle, make it to the end,
and then continue on out of the Circle. There is no one exploiting
anyone in these free expressions of Gratitude In Action.
I believe it is a solution whose time has come.
It is an antidote for a virus that has plagued humanity
for centuries.
There are no top elite members profiting endlessly
at the expense of those at the bottom.
There is no down line
or up line,
or promises
of a big payoff in the end or commissions from others.
There is nothing to sell and nothing to buy.
It does not require participants to expand beyond the resources
or population of the internet, or of the world, to keep it sustainable.
It is not an endless pyramid and you don't even stay in the circle!
To be clear:
DISCLAIMER:
THIS IS NOT A BUSINESS!
This is not an investment opportunity or a get rich
quick scheme, or any other marketing or moneymaking
enterprise. There is no promise that you will profit
in any way or any guarantee that anyone who joins your
Circle, will continue the process.
Therefore,
none of the laws governing any kind of business,
pyramid, or otherwise,
even applies.
As with the people of Malta
and the traditions of Native Americans,
giving freely to each other
is an ancient custom of prosperity.
You and I are here to network across the globe and help free
each other, and humanity from poverty consciousness. Those people now using power-over
structures who profit, exploit, and thrive by maintaining a lack mentality, will be usurped from within their own hierarchies as the power-with
anti-virus of Circles Within Circles spreads to every people across the globe. This will be accomplished by the simple and natural means of giving and receiving freely through expressing Giving In Action and Gratitude In Abundance.
You may read up on FTC rules and definitions of what is or is not a pyramid, ponzi, or MLM here:

pyramids schemes and why they don't work:

If anyone sees a flaw in what I am describing, or something that
I have missed, please send me an email detailing your observations.
I will make whatever changes necessary to keep the
Circles within Circles

This is a community building activity to participate in freely.
You may post this idea on your site or discussion list,
but please do not flood the web with unwanted email.
That is Spamming, and Spam of any kind is illegal. You may post
in any appropriate site or board where you think others may share
this idea of helping humanity, or generating abundance in the world.
Circles within Circles
, based on original ancient societal relationships,
is the natural anti-dote to return to a peaceful, healthy, and friendly
world of heartfelt community.
By example, we hope to enrich society in demonstrating how giving
and receiving generates abundance, helping humanity to evolve
from a power-over
society based in lack mentality to a
Power-with
society based in abundance manifestation.
Like a medicine for our time, it will shift our energies
and thoughts gracefully from a power-over
society to a
Power-with
society. It will inspire people to freely
re-distribute wealth and resources throughout all classes of humanity
all over the world, and directly shift our consciousness through Giving In Action.
Helping many and harming none, it will teach by example
that Gratitude Is Abundance.
Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal:
my strength lies solely in my tenacity.
- Louis Pasteur
As we give and receive to each other, our friends, the poor...
and help the lowest among us to be included, if they will,
wherever we find them, whenever we can, we teach by example
how to give and to receive with gratitude.
We will help each other rise out of poverty-thinking,
and scarcity and lack mentality. We will build trust and open
our minds to a more peaceful world of Power-with
others
rather than remain enslaved to the unsustainable
power-over
pyramid hierarchies that we,
the animals, and our environment are suffering under now.
You have noticed that everything the Indian does
is in a circle, and that is because
the Power of the World always works in circles,
and everything tries to be round...
The Sky is round,
and I have heard that the earth is round
like a ball, and so are all the stars.
The wind, in its greatest power, whirls.
Birds make their nest in circles,
for theirs is the same religion as ours...
Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing,
and always come back again to where they were.
The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood,
and so it is in everything where power moves.
-Black Elk, Oglala Sioux Holy Man
1863-1950
This is not the best representation, but it will do for now.
Gaze at the following image of Circles moving within Circles.
This image is an illusion to illustrate what the actual movement of redistribution of wealth and resources may look like. Ever so slowly the overlapping circles move and interconnect with each other. Each tiny bit that makes up the Circles represents a unit of energy given and received and passed on through Circles Within Circles
which reflects the power and the flow of Nature.
Ten units of energy become your Circle and each of them becomes a Circle within your Circle.
Each center represents one of you who has begun a Circle.
Eventually, your Circle will dissolve and end as the flow continues.
You may then join another list and begin a new Circle to keep the abundance flowing.
While donations most likely will eventually flow to you in abundance,
simply because
the promise of it is illegal. Don't ask my why.
I don't make the rules.
You may do the math yourself and see how many people your Circle
will expand to include. Remember there is no time limit as to when
you get your 10 people, and there is no guarantee that all of those
in your Circle will ever get their 10 people.
Detailed explanations follow, but here is a brief
Example:
You will build and expand your Circle through five generations of giving and receiving
donations.
If all that you included in your Circle was 2 people, who each also
included only 2 people through the five generations. Then, as your email
moved into the top spot of the list, you will end up with a possible 64
people who may send you a donation in Gratitude.
64 X $5.00 = $320.00
of possible donations to you.
If you expanded your Circle to 10 people who give to you freely
and they grew through all five generations,
with each of them welcoming 10 people into their Circles, then you will have
an amazing 100,000 people donating to you in Gratitude!
100,000 X $5.00 = $500,000.00
of possible donations to you!
Statistically, not everyone will get the maximum number of people.
I personally have not heard of anyone receiving much more than $50,000 or
$60,000 with a similar plan. This is equal to about 10,000 people in your Circle.
While this is not a great fortune, it is enough to stir up the wealth
and redistribute resources of societies. Especially if it is in some third world country.
Also, having Circles that reflect around 10,000 people each, makes this plan easy to duplicate and does not require it to expand beyond the population of the internet or the planet! It becomes accessible to people everywhere, and everyone may participate who has an open heart and an interest in helping to heal the suffering in our societies.
If more wish to join, send them to someone who has joined your Circle.
This keeps the abundance flowing in overlapping and increasing Circles
and is a further demonstration of Giving and Gratitude in Action!
Also, once you have completed your Circle, you may join another list
and start another Circle. This keeps the Circle of resources stirring
around the world,
and again, it ensures that Circles Within Circles
is not required to expand
beyond the population of the internet or the earth.
Here is a detailed explanation of how the model works.
Following this, I will give you a simple step-by-step instruction.
Tell me, I may forget;
Show me, then I may remember;
But involve me, and I'll understand.
- A Chinese proverb
It is recommended that you only give a total of what is equal
to about 1 hours worth of work, so as to keep the Circle accessible
to the poorest among us. For us in the USA, $10 total,
is a nice round number. You may always give more if you wish.
If you are in a country where $1
is an hour's wage, then use that. You may always donate more
if you wish. You may only donate if you can give freely,
and receive freely with gratitude.
Circles Within Circles is a voluntary global community activity.
You will start your circle with the list of five emails that you received.
If you do not have a list, or you have completed your Circle
and would like to join another Circle, then you may request
that a list be sent to you from here:
needalist@giamind.org
If you want to add your list to be sent out once to someone,
who requests a list, then send us your list here:
sendalist@giamind.org
Using an online payment method such as a PayPal account;
(I will explain at the end how to set this up.)
send half of your donation: $5 to THE FIRST (#1.) e-mail address on the list
along with a note in the subject line stating:
Please accept my Gratitude!
This is in gratitude for them starting the Circle that you joined.
(The subject line is crucial, letting the first person know
that they have gotten all the way through the Circle.)
Now send the other $5.00 donation from your PayPal account
to the 5th person on the list,( #5.) stating in the subject line:
Thank you for Giving.
This is in appreciation for them
continuing the Circle that you have just joined.
From the list that you received,
remove the 1st e-mail address entirely and place your email address
at the bottom of the list.
Then re-number them.
Moving the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, 4th to 3rd, and the 5th place into 4th.
Your email is now in the # 5 space.
DO NOT try to place yourself in the top first place position!
Your emails will only reach the people that you send it to.
Putting your name at the top will only get you knocked off of
the list right away. Besides, it doesn't work like that,
and you will understand that if you read these directions completely.
If you do this the way it is designed, it will reach thousands
by the time your name gets to the top.
REMEMBER TO SEND a $5.00 dollar donation to the 1st e-mail address
and the message:
Please Accept My Gratitude!
Send the other $5.00 donation to the 5th person on the list
with the words:
Thank You For Giving!
in the subject line.
This helps the 5th person keep track of their Circle
and let's them know when they have received their 10 replies
so they may stop recruiting others into their Circle.
Now look at your list.
When you add your email into the # 5 spot make sure
it's the same e-mail address that you used to open your PayPal account.
This is the easiest way I have found to send and receive donations.
You may need a debit or credit card to register. If you want to use some
other method, it is up to you to communicate that directly
with those who join your Circle and those who may email you later on
to give back freely to you.
Now that you have donated to the 1st person and the 5th person
and sent them both an email, a note, and placed your e-mail address
in the 5th place, then the only thing left to do is to mail out copies
of your new Circles Within Circles
list to a few of your friends at a time, post on your blog, add to appropriate discussion list, and wherever else you may like to share your Circle,
until you receive your 10 replies.
It is better to send out less rather than more at once. A personal email
is always better to receive than a bulk form letter.
It is also asked that you get at least 2 replies
and strive to get no more than 10 others to join your Circle.
Not everyone will get the same amount of people to join a Circle.
That's okay.
Remember, this is not a business! As long as you do not promote it as a business, you may post this idea in whatever appropriate discussion list or forums you decide to.
Ten people is all that is required to join your circle to make a difference,
and stir up the wealth and resources of the world. This will help
humanity shift to a a more Power-with
global community that
experiences and expresses...
Giving and Gratitude in Action.
10 replies of those joining your circle is all you need.
One or two more is okay; however, in order to keep Circles within Circles
moving and stirring up the wealth and resources of the world,
I ask that you limit the number who enter your immediate Circle
to 10 people. This will allow for a greater distribution
throughout the population of the world and allow for
Circles Within Circles
to continue to grow and share resources.
A few more is okay since the law of averages states
that not everyone who joins will continue with the process anyway.
If you get more wanting to join your circle,
then have them join someone in your circle who has not received
their ten replies yet, or have them get a new list from the this web site.
You may also send your list to this website
to be sent out once to someone who requests a list.
Please do not spam the web by offering this as
a moneymaking scheme with promises of great wealth or as a business.
That is illegal.
Step-by-Step instructions are right below.
Use your abundance wisely in support of Power-with
activities and
remember to demonstrate Gratitude and Giving in Action wherever you can.
Oh, and if you do get donations, pay your taxes.
It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen
from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the
government from falling into error.
- Robert H. Jackson
Remember:
Life is a boomerang. It brings you back what you send out.
You will need a means of sending and receiving donations and PayPal
seems to be an easy choice. I think everyone has heard of PayPal.
Anyone with an e-mail address can join it for FREE! If you're not
already a PayPal user, the first thing you need to do is sign up.
You may also need a credit or debit card to open the account.
To avoid fraud, please type in paypal.com into your browser window
and go to their site to sign up.
No, I don't get any kickbacks from PayPal, and yes they charge
everyone a transaction fee. So what? If you mailed your donation
you would have to pay more for postage than what Paypal is getting!
It is really easy to set up and it's Free! Just make sure that
you upgrade (also for FREE!) to a Business or Premier account or you
will be subject to a monthly receiving limit of $500,
which will slow the Circles down. I am not allowed to promise that
you will receive anything, but that does not mean that it
will not happen.
That's all you need to do.
From your PayPal account or some other means of money transfer,
send the #1. e-mail on the list a $5 dollar donation with gratitude.
Do not forget to include in the subject line:
Please Accept My Gratitude.
This is a very important step as it is the final act of
Gratitude in Action to let the person know his Circle is complete
and you are Grateful for the opportunity to give freely.
Send the other $5 dollar donation from your PayPal account
to the fifth email on the list with the words in the subject line:
Thank You For Giving!
This lets them know that you appreciate their selfless
Giving In Action that started the Circle you just joined.
Remove the #1 e-mail on the list and move the other 4 e-mails
up one place each. Place your email in the bottom slot.
Your email is now # 5. on the list.
This is the list you will send now to begin your own
Circles Within Circles.
Go to the bottom of this section.
Copy what is below the dotted line!
Be sure to include the link at the end.
This links to the same introduction page which you first saw here.
Take what you have copied
and add your new list of five emails to the bottom of it.
Personalize this e-mail letter as you wish.
This is now the Circles Within Circles
e-mail that you will send
to groups of your friends until you receive 10 replies stating:
Thank you for Giving.
This lets you know how many Circles Within Circles
that you have started.
When 10 people have joined your Circle,
you are now finished with this list.
Please do not continue to send out your list after you have 10 people in your Circle..
You may now join another list
as long as your email is not already on it!
If you need a list or a new list,
you may e-mail us with a request stating
that you need a list here:
needalist@giamind.org
And you may also send us your new list to be added to our
pool of lists to be sent out to someone
who requests a list from us.
Send your list to us here:
sendalist@giamind.org
These e-mails are also found on the Home page for your convenience.
Please follow the Guidelines which I have listed here
for you below in bright red.
That's it. May abundance flow through you with Gratitude!
1. Please only let about 10 people, or so join your Circle.
2. Only join a list that does not already have your email address on it!
3. Only pass on a list that does not have duplicate emails on it.
4. You may offer this idea in emails to others
as any form of Gratitude in Action,
however, do not offer this as an investment or business
opportunity of any kind.
5. You may only participate if you can demonstrate giving
and receiving with gratitude without any expectations other than
the opportunity to give and receive freely.
Following these guidelines will help the abundance flow freely through
the Circles within Circles
across the entire world again and again.
That's all there is to it.
There is no question
as to whether or not you will teach.
You are always teaching by your actions.
The question is, what are you teaching?
- A Course in Miracles
1.
Copy all of the information below the dotted line,
and save in a file on your computer or in your email program.
2.
Choose whatever phrase, or phrases are appropriate for the friends
or strangers that you are emailing your list to.
3.
Be sure to include the link that is near the end.
Also be sure to add your list of five e-mails where indicated.
4.
Personalize your email message, and then send this to your friends,
post to your discussions lists, on your blog, or share the idea with
new people that you are introducing yourself to.
5.
Send an E-mail to your friends individually or a few at a time if you can.
Personalized e-mails are better than bulk sent emails addressed to
Hey You!
Continue to send it out until you get your 10 replies.
Remember there is no time limit, so just keep sending it out
and eventually you will get your ten replies.
I will add more variations to the e-mail later,
so check back sometime if you start another circle.
