speedshift from ‘stink’in thinking to Olympian Thinking

Mindset of a champion

“The Fastest Way to World Peace” is based on Willis Harman’s Global Mind Change. 

In his book Global Mind Change, Futurist  Willis Harman stated that ‘the negative belief that peace is not possible, is the greatest impediment to achieving world peace’. Mentored by Willis, two time Olympic Pentathlete Marilyn King was seized by a thought that “if people the world over thought about peace the way Olympians think about gold medals, we could see peace in my lifetime.” Based on a Ted Turner sponsored joint Russian American venture called The Peace Team, Peace is The Only Gold is a global systemic change initiative designed to speedshift from ‘stink’in thinking to Olympian Thinking about peace. 

Join us in a conversation about One Plausable Scenario for peace and discover how in this time of AI (Access to Information) we can speedshift from poorly informed, misinformed and limiting beliefs about peace, to full tilt boogie. ‘Full tilt boogie’ is when you ignite the Olympian that lives within each of us aligning body mind and spirit to achieve things that were previously unimaginable. 

The shift is on. Peace is the Only Gold will insure that people who want to live in a world that works for all will be inspired, informed and engaged.

One day soon you will be asked ‘Where were you when the shift happened?” Marilyn’s reply will be “I was in the thick of it”.
