A For What: ** To support the activities of the TLC-Life-Center's program, particularly to inspire the creation of The New Corporate World. ** To expand public awareness of the consequences if we fail to make major changes in our collective beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. ** To offer some significant steps in reversing Global Warming. http://www.New-Corporate-World.info² The Capital Investment Goal: The goal at this time is to be able to have one person who knows what to do and how to do it (Rev. Cote') devote full time and full attention to this project. The goal is for Rev. Cote' to move this proposal into action in a way that draws attention to the criticalness of this new way of viewing the world we live in. Once the value of this approach to reversing Global Warming is recognized, it will grow rapidly and exponentially. Many will join us and many others will do as we are now doing and proposing.
Symbolically speaking, "if you had to put all your eggs in one basket," The New Corporate World would be that basket. As it turns out, The New Corporate World is not a single basket. It is, instead, several hundred or several thousand baskets each with its own unique perspective and tools to apply its own special piece to the group solutions to our collective problems.
************************************************************** The super wealthy are not the only
problem today.
In the financial world, the
wheelers and dealers have set themselves up to get a piece of the
action.

"To fight something is to feed
it." "What you think about is what
you are inviting into your reality." The
universe functions on thoughts and one cannot express
the opposite of a thought. One of the best
examples is about the roadside sings that used to
say, Don't drink and drive." The
subconscious mind can register drive sober or drive
drunk, but the expression "Don't drink and
drive," registers as "Drink and
drive." Here's another classic
line: "Don't think of a pink
elephant."
*&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Ans: There is another critically
important reason for having corporations and their
non-profit Foundations working as as team.
Que:
And that is . . .
Ans: With a corporation ( as most of them are presently
structured) there is no guiding entity. There is no
outside overseers. Stockholders are the closest thing to an
overseer and they are only interested in money. Corporate
executives run the companies for the stockholders. So other than
money-interests and to avoid violating the
letter of the law, there are no controls over what corporate leaders can
do.
Human nature is such that very few people are able
to handle positions of great power without getting lost in the power they wield.
As a result, all too frequently, corporate executives are engaged in
unethical and unscrupulous activities with the sole intent of increasing
company profits and/or ripping off as much money as they can before getting
fired.
Que:
That reminds me of the famous quote form Lord Acton, "Power corrupts
and absolute power corrupts absolutely." ***
Ans: The evidence tells us that
this is also true in the corporate world. Most
if not all of the major corporate mismanagement financial fiascoes
that have cost society dearly would not occur if the corporate leaders
functioned in partnership with a non-profit foundation.
Que:
That sounds like parental guidance.
Ans: Now
that you mention it, the parent analogy works well here. One
could think of the relationship as one of guidance and co-creation but not
domination. Perhaps as a parent might guide a seventeen
year old son or daughter.
Que:
So under the structure of The New Corporate World, the
corporate leaders will become the good guys instead of the villains whose only
interest is money.
Ans: There really aren't
any bad guys, ' but for the moment, we'll let your metaphor
stand. Think of it this way: While functioning in
partnership with a Foundation, corporate executives would not be
allowed to steal the money out of the employees pension funds.
Corporate executives could not get away with paying themselves
multi-millions of dollars while the company crashes. Scandals
like the multi-billion dollar Enron fiasco could not happen.

Que:
Ok, I'm still
with you. Please continue.
Ans: Here are steps
four, five, and six:
Que:
Are you saying
you can change the world with a simple idea?
Ans: Yes, its been
done hundreds of times in the past. Ideas are the catalysts for
a changes in consciousness. So it's not the idea, itself
that will change the world, it's its application.
Que:
So you're
saying that you have an idea that when applied to corporations will significantly
change the world.
Ans: Yes.
Definitely!
Que:
I'm all ears.
Let's hear it.
Ans: It's now possible, with relative ease and
simplicity for corporations to set up their own non-profit foundations and
then transfer ownership of most of the company's stock to that
foundation.
Que:
That's where we started this conversation. Like I already said,
it's a great
idea, but it sounds to me like a pipe dream. Level with me
now. Are you
stoned? Are you crazy? Or am I missing
something?
Ans: I'm neither
stoned nor crazy, and yes, you are missing something.
Que:
How can that
be?
Ans: Are you aware
that for centuries most of the world's inventions and new ideas have
come out of the lunatic fringe?
Que:
No.
Inform me.
Ans: Almost
every major change on the planet
has come by way of a person who was, at one point in his or her creative process,
considered by most of his/her fellow humans as an eccentric, a fool, a lunatic,
or a trouble maker. Look
at the extreme opposite
of what is labeled conservative.
If
you look closely into what is commonly called “The
Lunatic Fringe,” you'll
find the future of humanity!
Que:
Give me some
examples.
Ans: Albert
Einstein. He was
thrown out of grade school as hopelessly un-teachable.
Louis Pasteur. He was drummed out of his medical college for proposing that
life forms too small for the human eye to see were the cause of disease.
Galileo. He was imprisoned for life for
publicly demonstrating
that the Earth was round. And
then there’s the most famous rebel of all time, Jesus of Nazareth.
Each
of these people made major contributions to the future of humanity; yet, when
they
expressed their mastery
into the world, they were looked at as troublemakers, as lunatics, or as fools.
*** Que:
So you are a
lunatic?
Ans: In an insane society, a sane person is considered
to be crazy. I'll let you draw your own conclusions regarding on which
side the insanity lies.
************************************************************ Que:
Ok, pipe
dreamer, how are you proposing that this be accomplished?
Ans: Well, to begin
with, I invite you to open your mind and reserve your labels for me and for The
New Corporate World Project until you've examined the
evidence.
Que:
Sorry.
Ans: You needn't be
sorry. Your response is typical when an out-of the-park idea is
first presented.
Que:
How so?
Ans: They typical scenario
goes like this: At first, the visionary and his/her idea
is ignored. Then the person and the new whatever is ridiculed
and laughed at. When the new creation begins to become a
physical reality, the status quo becomes threatened and often attack
the idea and/or its presenter. If the newly created __whatever__
requires an new thinking paradigm many people will simply reject it without
giving it a fair hearing. Finally it's accepted and the response
is: "Oh, we've known that all along."
***************************************************
For most people, the first response to this concept
is: "It's impossible to
accomplish. It's too simplistic to make any
difference. It must be a utopian fairytale. And
besides, who cares? I'm busy with my own life." Think Again. It's
Possible! It will have a huge
impact on both you business and your personal life ' and on all human life including The Reversing of Global Warming.
It's so unusual that it's in a class of its own. Occasionally
something comes along that is so far outside mainstream thinking that
most people won't see it's value until others show them the way.
So it is with the arrival of The New Corporate World
*********************************************************
Que:
You talk about creating The
New Corporate World. What is it?
Ans: With relative ease and simplicity,
it's now possible to transfer stock ownership of almost any corporation
to a non-profit Foundation so that each
corporation is under the control and watchful eye of an
independent-thinking,
environmentally-friendly, employee-friendly, and customer-friendly, non-profit
Foundation. Corporations that choose to make
this change will no longer dominated by money,
greed, fear, and misdirected power.
************************************************
Ans: Here's still another bonus. Under the present structure, corporations have no external guides or controls. In The New Corporate World, structure the Foundation acts as a second set of eyes. When a corporations Foundation, in in the picture corporate executives would never be allowed to steal the money out of the employees pension funds. Corporate executives could never get away with paying themselves multi-millions of dollars while the company crashes. Scandals like the multi-billion dollar Enron fiasco could never happen.
