The context of a Gameworld is the gameworld's relationship to consciousness and responsibility. Context defines what the Gameworld holds as its highest values.

For example, modern culture values profit and teaches that the most successful people are those who avoid responsibility.

In modern culture, the term 'consciousness' has no meaning. 'Consciousness' is one of those stupid or dirty words.

Even though the Gameworlds of modern culture are contexted in capitalist patriarchal empire it is possible to create Gameworlds with an entirely different context, set of values, distinctions, rules of engagement, and purpose.

You now have a team of people who have come together in a new context - the context of Archiarchy - and who can build and inhabit Gaian Gameworlds.

Nobody already knows how the Gameworld of building Gameworlds goes.

Even less-so, the Gameworld of building Gameworld Builders...

To set a new Gameworld’s Context, start by claiming the Gameworld's True Purpose, which will be to serve the Gameworld's Bright Principles.

Setting the True Purpose must, of necessity, include identifying your Gameworld's Hidden Purpose.

Unconsciously created Gameworlds deliver Child Level Responsibility and largely serve Hidden or Unconscious Purposes, such as Competition, Win-Lose games, Low Drama, avoiding responsibility, and providing Gremlin food to those people high-up in the Gameworld hierarchies.

To consciously set a new Gameworld’s Context, the Spaceholders relocate their Point Of Origin into the chosen Context.

In every meeting space, begin by calling your Gameworld's Bright Principles into the space. Establishing each Workspace as a Space through which these Bright Principles can do their work in the world.

It will be crucial for participants to continually improve their skills at staying Centered, making their Grounding Cord and Personal Bubble of Space, holding their Gremlin on a short leash, and lowering their Numbness Bar to gain access to the energy and information of low-level Feelings and Emotions.

Suddenly it will become clear that: Something completely different from this is possible right now.

It is possible to change an already existing Gameworld’s Context from, say, Child Level Responsibility to Adult Level Responsibility, or from Adult Level Responsibility to Radical Responsibility.

The risk of trying to upgrade an already existing Gameworld's Context is that, if a majority of the members succeed in choosing the new Context, you will lose participants who are not interested and willing to endure the transformational Liquid States of shifting out of their old Context into the new Context.

Keep in mind that by upgrading a Gameworld’s Context you open a Doorway for new members to join who are longing to be nurtured by a higher level of responsibility and consciousness than was being offered by the old Gameworld.

Nonetheless, it may be less painful and more successful to build new Gameworlds that make the existing Gameworlds irrelevant than to try to change the Context of an existing Gameworld.

Built-in to every Gameworld are the Gameworld's values.

Values are what has worth.

Before a value can be valued you need to be aware of it.

Most Gameworld creators are not aware of the values hidden in the Gameworld they are building.

It does not have to be that way.

It turns out that the most subtle things we are not aware of are those that most control us... like status, like ownership, like values.

Even if the values are not specified or consciously held by Gameworld participants, the values are reflected in Gameworld behaviors:

• Where does the food come from? Who grew it? Who cooks it? Who cleans up? What is composted?
• What sort of soap is used? Who made it?
• Do you use a hierarchical or circular power structure?
• Which of the 13 Standard Decision-making Procedures is used?
• Where do the clothes come from? What are they made of? Who made them?
• Where are the children? How are they prepared for their authentic adulthood initiatory processes?
• What belief systems are subscribed to? Why?
• What drugs are used? Alcohol? Tobacco? Coffee? Chocolate? Sugar? Marijuana? Ayauasca?
• What is included? What is excluded?
• How is status dealt with?
• How is skin color and religion and beliefs and racism and expectations dealt with?
• How are laws in other gameworlds dealt with?
• How is the the concept of privilege dealt with?
• How are initiations dealt with?
• What sort of economy is used?
• What sort of infrastructure is used?
• What sort of transportation is used?
• What sorts of entertainment are used?
• What sort of spaceholding is used?
• Who owns what? And why? And what happens to the owners?
• How are men regarded? Women? Children? Animals? Plants?
• Who tends to Gaia?
• What happens when someone is sick? When someone dies? When someone is in a liquid state?
• Who benefits? Who pays?
• Who decides who gets to participate? Who decides who must leave? How? Why?
• Etc.

"As urgency around climate change and polarization increases on the planet, violence and removal of long-fought-for rights are both increasing. Human migration and immigration are going to be unavoidable and this may very well increase incidences of racism and xenophobia – as we are already seeing. In this context, systemic change becomes more and more urgent. And…there is a trap here.

"Paulo Freire writes quite eloquently in Pedagogy of the Oppressed about how communities sometimes rise up and fight revolutions, and sometimes they win – often to become the very oppressors they were fighting against.

"We see this happen again and again throughout history. Why? I believe that nature gives us a reason: We ‘trick’ ourselves into believing that the ‘issue’ is the structures themselves when, in nature, patterns of behaviour create structure – not the other way around.

"If we accept and understand this, then it becomes clear that if we work to change the structures, but neglect the patterns of human behavior that both create and sustain the structures, we are doomed to recreate and/or re-inhabit the same structures all over again. Focusing solely on structural change while neglecting behavioral change becomes self-defeating."

Your Codex is a written artifact that sends out a resonance field about your gameworld. This is a weird thing to say, yet, check it out experimentally. If you do not write a Codex, or if your Codex is outdated and does not match the true current intentions and procedures of your gameworld, is it any wonder that your gameworld is a mess?

Your Codex is like a list that you might send to Santa Claus telling him everything you want for Christmas. Writing your 'Santa Wish List' does not guarantee that these are the things you will receive for presents. But writing no wish list guarantees that the ugly socks and ties you receive are your fault.

Your Codex is a formula for building out the gameworld you want. It is where you start, where you experiments begin, and how you keep track of whether or not what you try works and to what degree. Then you revise your Codex.

Some Teams keep each iteration of their Codex as a way to document the evolution of their gameworld. Some Teams delete previous editions of their Codex and start over new each time.

Your Codex needs to be visible to the general public at the border between your gameworld and other gameworlds so that potential participants or collaborators or customers can see what your gameworld is about to help them decide if they want to interact with your gameworld or not.

At the same time, the Codex is not your gameworld.

Your Codex should not be placed at the center of your gameworld because the Codex does not make the gameworld. What you love and what you want to do is what makes the gameworld. The Codex is the documented structure for what you want to do and how you want to do it. That is all. It is a map.

If you keep the map at the center of your gameworld then the map functions like a prison to keep the gameworld from evolving. If your gameworld is not evolving then your gameworld is dead.

If you keep the map of your gameworld at the semi-permeable membrane of the gameworld (the interface between your gameworld and all other gameworlds) then you always know where to find the map to refer to it or update it, and so does everyone else, and yet, everyone is free of the prison. The prison sits quietly over there, on the shelf, exactly where it should be.

The idea that following the rules of your Codex will make your gameworld work turns your gameworld into a corporate or military or religious hierarchy with the Codex at the top. ANY hierarchy can be hijacked by psychopaths, sex-slave traffickers, and pedophiles.

Stay awake. Use toroidal and circular gameworld designs.

Put your Codex at the edge of your gameworld and you stand naked in the gameworld's center, with your heart turned on through Dragon Speaking, using your Real Voice. This way your gameworld is the vehicle through which you can take a stand for the stand that you have taken for being born on Earth.

Build the gameworlds you need to do what you came here to do. You and your Team stand in the middle together and invent your next moves, even if they have never been done before, even if you don't know how, even if they are claimed to be illegal. Move into new territory. Do what needs to be done.

The Rule of Law of modern civilization is exterminating life on planet Earth at the fastest possible rate. Anyone who follows that Rule of Law is criminally insane. Anyone who defends that Rule of Law has already forfeited their life.

Walk down the street in this clarity. Even the United Nations has been hijacked. Even the church has been hijacked. Most the NGOs have been hijacked. Gaia needs you as an Edgeworker, a Riftwalker, a Trainer, a Possibilitator, a Feelings Practitioner... to invent the new territory of your gameworld and move into it. Will you do that?

High Noon is a cornerstone of American cinema, a sobering and memorable look at heroism and community.

In the movie, the sheriff is facing near-certain death at the hands of a killer freed from prison. He has about an hour to gather a posse of deputies, because together they’ll be able to repel the avenging outlaw when arrives on the noon train.

As the clock ticks down, the marshal visits one part of the community after another, begging them to help him. And each finds a reason to say no, preferring short-term safety to long-term freedom, community belonging and heroism.

Howard Hawks, director of Rio Bravo, pointed out that the reason that the marshal failed to rally the community was that he was asking. In search of affiliation, he shared his fears and a story of mutual support as well as loyalty for what he’d done for them for so long.

In Rio Bravo, on the other hand, John Wayne does nothing of the sort. He regularly turns down offers of help, being selective about who’s worthy of being on his team. He shares no fear or trepidation. He’s selling status and dominance, not affiliation. “Are you good enough to be on this team?”

Humans are motivated by affiliation or by status.

And in the archetypal old west, it was status that often carried the day. The same might be true for the gameworld that you are part of.
