What Inspired BlogInspire’s Founder ABCrane to Her Project?

Dear Friends, Colleagues, Affiliates, and Strangers,
What inspired me to this great idea, Project Integrity International? This is the question that is most often posed to me when sharing the overview and details of my project with others. Truthfully, I had to think about this. Was it compassion? World peace? The search for truth? Or more selfishly, was this an act of intellectual gratification, psychological satisfaction, a most ecstatic charging of my imagination?
Yes, it was for all of these reasons that I set out to write the book, devise the plan, and execute the strategy.
But there was something else, another motivation lurking within the far recesses of my mind–a mind that had, since my birth, been bogged down with the idle chatter of small talk, destructive gossip, and other such mindless ramblings. My mind craved sense, to make sense, and to be sensible. I began to witness this useless babble reflected in the mirror of world politics, world economy, and “culture”. Yet, in the edges of the mirror I saw shards of sense–in the writings of Marx, in the speeches of Martin Luther King, in brilliant documentaries, in sustainable innovations, and in the choice of simple living. Beyond the glare of our collective nonsense I saw shimmers of hope, common sense–and the logic of environmental conservation. I examined thoroughly the parts of the whole and the whole of the parts, how they all pieced together. I saw reflected in the good the bad and in the bad the good, or more scientifically, the effective in the ineffective and the ineffective in the effective. I saw revolutions of higher consciousness disintegrate back into religions of oppression and dogma. I witnessed greedy corporations “giving back” and charities embezzling funds. I saw the paradox in the mirror, staring back, confused and in awe. I wondered…what is my inspiration for PII, this plan for a new economic system, this dream for a better world?
Beyond the compassion, the truth-seeking, the dream of world peace–there was the thirst for common sense, the hunger for logic, the desperate need for a structure that matched and mirrored the awe-inspiring organizational framework of the human body, brain, and heart–the perfection of a natural world that does not waste.
PII was the satisfaction of this thirst, this deep desire for the justice that only reason could bring to a starving humanity, to a dying earth.
Let us move forward, as a people, as a life-force. Before we can swim in the sea of love, we must first trek through the forest of reason. Time has come. Let us think, feel and act our way to a better world for all.

Thank you,
