“…because we’re going to use social networking and other tools to launch an e-bank and venture capital group by establishing circles of quiet, abbeys of prayer and work, and cities of refuge… among 10,000 young professionals and global change agents to pool their teams, skills, expertise and technologies into greater profitability locally and functioning sustainability among the poorest of the poor globally.”

Coordinates I’m sketching into the fabric of this map:

Clairvaux 3.0 (rediscovering energy). Mobilizing 10,000 young global change agents: government, infrastructure, education, banking, energy, software, communications, architecture, farming, textiles, arts/media, medicine, & emergency response

Discovering them internationally; developing them locally; deploying them globally – establishing circles of quiet, building abbeys of prayer & work, and eventually launching cities of refuge…

How?

1st economic engine: prayer, friendship, humility, mutual reciprocity, and interdependence
2nd economic engine: purchase, optimize, & manage 1000 BOE of Alberta-based oil and gas
3rd economic engine: establish circles of quiet in 10 cities around 100+ change agents/saints
4th economic engine: foundation in Canmore, AB – offices in Hong Kong, Malta, & Trinidad
5th economic engine: 100+ companies aligning personnel, skills, expertise, & technologies
6th economic engine: launch global e-banking, venture capital & micro-credit infrastructures
7th economic engine: fearlessly establish monastic outposts in harshest fringe environments

(I don’t like how Seth Godin uses the word “reciprocity” in Linchpin; it’s an important word!)
