We all have a story we live, our conscious version of why we are here, who we are. We have stories for ourselves, our nations, families, communities, regions, and the world. We refer to our stories when we feel challenged. They help us to know what is happening, what is expected and what to do.
        The predominant global story now is one of competition and conflict. This grew out of Darwin’s theory, Evolution by Natural Selection aka, Survival of the Strongest [later modified to “fittest”]. Does evolution explain diversity? Does it apply to humans? Competition and conflict may not be as natural as supposed.
        The research of the last century is exposing previously unnoticed facts. Experiments with photons show permanent ongoing connection enabling instant communication even when a photon is split and the sections moved miles apart¹. The instantaneous DNA communication in the human body’s 50 trillion cells is amazing. The 100th monkey effect demonstrates thought transference. Bruce Lipton’s epigenetics work [The Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolution]² shows thoughts affect our bodies. In Human by Design, Gregg Braden³ and Nassim Haramein⁴ expand views of human possibilities beyond the imagination of many. The work of Edgar Cayce and the A.R.E.⁵ offers decades of research into health and spiritually related matters, including work of Carol Ann Liaros⁶ and Henry Reed [Intuitive Heart]⁷ on using intuition. Henry and David Wilcock have shared research on dreams with us. Alex Marcoux writes new insights on the condition of Autism.⁸ Evan T Pritchard has written on little known information including No Word for Time and How the Algonquins Met Henry Hudson.⁹ Many other hardly known published works offer examples of cooperation and collaboration very useful now.
        In 2012, the Onondaga issued a call to honor the Two Row Wampum Treaty of 1613. Jake Edwards, Eel clan, of the Onondaga Nation Council of Chiefs coordinated an enactment, a paddle of indigenous individuals and those of European ancestry, traveling side by side in two rows. They rowed from the Onondaga home base at Syracuse, to Albany, N.Y. then to New York City down the M’hiacanituck [Hudson River] in the summer of 2013, gathering in the U.N., on August 9. Hundreds paddled. Thousands came out to witness and enjoy. The Dakota Unity Riders, led by Gus Higheagle, rode along the River. Faithkeeper Oren Lyons, Turtle clan, and Sally Bermanzohn of Ulster County, N.Y. were among the hundreds working to make this happen.¹⁰
        Neetopk Keetopk, focusing on Cooperation, Respect, Equality, Non-Hierarchical, Non-Judgemental, Sharing, and Sovereignty ideals, is growing from this.¹¹
        In the midst of all the change, NOW, revising our stories may be of great benefit for all. We can see how working together, cooperating and collaborating, accepting the input of each helps us to come up with a consensus. This writer discovered while attending Rahway City Council meetings, most citizens were satisfied to know they had been heard, even if the vote went the other way. And Council members felt better because people thanked them for listening. As we adopt ways that tell people their concerns are being heard and respected, we see cooperation.
        Current science discoveries are telling us there is a unified field. We are the field. We are the technology we have been waiting for. We are so much more than we have been taught. Now we have the opportunity to build new local and global societies together based on our new understanding through scientific and other research of the way things actually function.
