Welcome to the future

After a bit of a wait, we're finally getting operational on this thing called FutureLife. Even though there are still some things that need to be added, we're finally at a place where we can at least start some conversation, as well as promoting events that we hope you will find interesting, challenging, enlightening, thought-provoking, or just plain cool.

I've been asked by several people over the last 2 months just what FutureLife is, and I'll have to admit that the answer is still a work in progress. But, let me at least attempt a working definition. Our simple vision statement goes like this; "FutureLife is a collection of thinkers, artists and leaders who are serious about change and creating the future...now." We're serious when we say this. Change can happen and change MUST happen at all levels of society, and it's up to us to make it happen. Plus, we do in fact believe that we can create the future, the kind of future that is dreamed of and longed for by people all over the planet. If you think this is ridiculously simplistic or just some kind of whacked out, mystical rambling, you couldn't be more wrong. Simply put, I'm talking about humans re-discovering what it really means to be human and living in such a way that transforms the world. If you're not sure this is possible, stick around and let's see what happens as we begin this journey together. And if you completely disagree with everything we're saying and trying to do here, we still want to hear from you. This site is for learning and growing, and even in our disagreement, we can accomplish both those things.

With that out of the way, let the journey begin. The future is waiting. The future is now.

Peace,

Jerry

i am excited and fearful. not the fear of the world, but one of reverence at the truth that is about to grow itself in futurlife.
growth is to be sought, not just hoped for. and i am ready to seek more.
