The following is an edit of a conversation I have within the context of VNA's approach.(Value-Network Analysis)
--------------------------------------
I'm sending you this article in case that you might find its info relevant to VNA's big picture for the immediate future.
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/100610/business/pm_major_canada
The article by itself might onlly be enough to spark a possible, vague interest for the many; but if we demonstrate the connection between the article's content and the premonition ground already covered in our work, then perhaps that the article can be of use to stimulate VNA people into tapping deeply in the global financial groove, readying us to connect and to move from the self-control that leads to mature and responsible community self-governing, assembling the pieces of free enterprise within the context of ongoing reconciliation.
Reconciliation = Forgiveness+Deliverance
How do finance and governance come together to serve such formula of Reconciliation into the harmonizing of individual and collective currencies?
If your zone of comfort with this subject needs more feeding to supprot your presentation of the idea, then give me some coaching as to how we could get to the essence of what this ought to mean for VNA and I'll see what I can find to contribute.
..may all blessings be with us all... Benoit

Hi Benoit,
Thank you for the article. Yes, it is entirely relevant to what I call the "macro-economic transformation" thrust of my work.
The following link also joins some threads together that I have come across.

What we are looking at in the UK is a new macro-economic approach and using, possibly, the VNA way of visualising it, to create an outline of it.
I suspect that "reconciliation" will be greatly assisted by being able to see the big picture in outline form, and being positioned to connect our actions to it and influence it by dialogue, probably through informed pressure groups that influence the political class. Also, the use of appropriate metaphors to spark the imagination can be used.
VNA is simply two things:
1) A way of viewing organisation or community interactions. It is very simple and has
Components:
a) nodes as People
b) nodes as role plays
c) deliverables (tangible and intangible)
Flows:
a) Formal flows
b) Informal flows
c) Energy flows (not official VNA, but I add it)
It would be helpful if "Forgiveness" and "deliverance" could be explainable to non religious communities in a language they understand. Any thoughts on that? What are the deliverables from "Forgiveness" and "deliverance?" is that a meaningless question?
There is much work to do!

Thanks,
I'm glad that the article is relevant. It feeds the energy flow to aim for the tuning of the formal and informal flows! (I really appreciate this addition of yours)
The picture I get from the 3 components and flows that you mentioned, is one of 3 people of great wisdom sitting side by side, each representing one of the flows.
They are facing the world at the general council of the UN, with the mission to absorb and to settle the energy of chaos, and to guide its transformed movement into the renewing cultivation of universal Health-Education-Correction, causing the macro-economic transformation(MET) to rise up from personal inspiration, along with communal resolution, instead of peer coercion and individualized oppression.
MET needs a catalyst to generate individual attention and to energize collective movements of interest into assembling from personal to communal, so as to cultivate the model to embody MET's demonstration.
The Ministry of Reconciliation deploying forgiveness and deliverance is this catalyst.
The context that offers me a personal opportunity to experience the coming on of such a possible catalyst from micro to macro, is the pursuit of Sovereignty from many people amongst whom I was born and raised, Québec.
So far, that pursuit has been and goes on being an effort to separate and to become independent from Canada.
What I suggest, is a promotion to convinced Québecois to transit from pursuing political Sovereignty that calls for separation and independence to getting on with applying cultural Sovereignty that moves as we unite into a renewing definition that says:
"Sovereignty is the ability to make decisions in serene maturity and knowledge, equipped with the capacity to implement these decisions with complete wisdom and responsibility."
There currently is open a window of opportunity to bring on such a promotion, to convince Québecois to accept and to buy into adopting the practice of cultural Sovereignty, instead of the political one.
This window is a campaign by the federal leader of the opposition from Québec, Gilles Duceppe. He has sent a letter to 1600 high profile personalities around the world, to explain that the best attempt to get the French province to sign in, on the 1982 Constitution of Canada, is 20 years old and that it is now time for Québecois to consider going into another referendum for Sovereignty and to take on the option of becoming a country of their own.
The beauty of entering such a campaign with the idea of choosing between either Political Sovereignty and becoming its own country or moving on now with cultural Sovereignty, is that amongst Québecois, there can be no loosers from such a referendum; only winners.
Even the rest of Canada would benefit from being rid of uncertainty.
By taking on the option of cultural Sovereignty, we then enter the immediate future, consolidating all the best of Canada so far, and we move on to apply the lessons from the past, planning together and moving out of unsustanability by growing within the paradigm of sustainable economic development.
As the Sovereign Québecois awaken, so does the Canadian citizenship, entering a renewd era of political history, celebrating the true North strong and free as we settle across the threshold of our coming of age, growing by owning up to Love in the unity constituted of God's glory within and amongst all people, moving in the strengthening of our service position.
Our entry into this immediate future bring us to harmonise our three levels of Canadian votes into one exercise.
This means that we will no longer be a politically disjointed citizenship.
At present, we go on within a pattern that keeps us separated between educationaly-municipaly, then provincially, then federally, leaving the collective focus in a flux of constant confusion, made of divisions that remains agitated by unresolved and conflicting interests.
In time, by the force of unity, the stabilisation of democracy will call for the replacement of voting for a party and a Prime Minister's Office.
The replacement will come from cultural Sovereignty having grown a permanent structure made of The Prime Ministry Office, which could be for example Reconciliation and then, The Secondary Ministry's Office, which could be Social planning or Health, The Third Ministry could be Education and so on...
Once these Ministries's are identified, the structure will then be in place to transit the vote toward deciding which teams we want to drive these Ministries from local to national.
In doing so, the deceit of popularity can no longer rob democracy from the full fledge service of genuine expertise.
As we go on fleurishing in democracy's maturity, the CBC launches "The pilot of the Universe-City".
This initiative is to serve cultural Sovereignty, reaching out with personal inspiration in context of communal resolution, develloping and delivering the universal approach of Health-Education-Correction.
Doing so brings in global context the meaning of Canada, which is Village. This Village is the pilot as in a pilot light.
So from this local-global Village that hosts people from all over the world at the ground level, this media Universe-City pilot lights up to radiate the Ministry of Reconciliation, serving in the hope to ignite the deployment of forgiveness and deliverance across the whole planet.
This project might eventualy be of interest to the BBC and PBS, to join with CBC into this venture of igniting the pilot into the complete ignition of democracy's ongoing flame.
Some thoughts on the matter of renewing Canada's mission in the world:

This brings me to your last paragraph:
"It would be helpful if "Forgiveness" and "deliverance" could be explainable to non religious communities in a language they understand. Any thoughts on that? What are the deliverables from "Forgiveness" and "deliverance?" is that a meaningless question?"
Very meaningful, indeed!
I think that dealing with debts in a culture of Sovereignty as defined above, offers the picture of relief from the oppression and stress that we all need, in order to experience serenity.
Such picture of relief qualifies to reach non religious communities about the reconciliation that offers forgiveness and deliverance!
In the context of global MET, the switch of focus from political Sovereignty to cultural Sovereignty is the very best opportunity that I can see on the horizon of suistanable development, for the powers that be to apply the catalyst from micro(Québec) to macro(Canada), for as smooth of a movement from local(Canada) to global(UN) as possible.
I call the over all picture of this promotion:
"...cleansing our vision of the Crown..."
...title by which I wish to convey all of God's glory amongst humanity, and His all-encompassing authority over all of human history.
As a Canadian citizen, the Crown rests on the head of queen ElizabethII and spread across the whole Commonwealth.
You end with:
"There is a lot of work to do."
The Supremacy of God is the ground of cultural Sovereignty. If we take proper care of our roots, the work will be a joyful experience, no matter how difficult!
It is my observation that for most of humanity though, such joy is as far out of sight as the ground of cultural Sovereignty is to chaos, rendering the seed of eternal life and its genuine workers more precious than ever, in this era of macro-economic transformatiion.
