RESULTS
OF PLANETARY TRANSFORMATION GAME
(from
Findhorn Foundation)
IN
TIMES OF COVID- 19
In 1962 Eileen
Caddy, her husband Peter and their friend Dorothy Mc.Lean had such a great,
deep and outstanding trascendental experience (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/228239.The_Magic_Of_Findhorn) that ended up in the creation of a huge project at
the Northeast of Scotland, close to Inverness. This project that now has
almost 60 years of existance: "The Findhorn Foundation" an echovillage
based in the development of Spiritual Consciousness, Community life and
integrated living, attracted so many people that it has become one of the
world icons of sustainability, deep Nature interconnection, human coexistence
and conscious work with subtle worlds and psychological and transpersonal
development.
In this last
dimension, Joy Drake, one member of the Findhorn Community created in 1986 a
game of consciousness thinking in the people that couldn't make it to Scotland.
A board game that fueled by a personal "Purpose" had three main sets
of cards: Insights, Setbacks and Angels (representing the virtues or qualities
that would help with the unfolding of the purpose) as well as Universal
Feedback and the main square named "Transformation square".
Joy drew each
angel and meditated in each card, ending up in a channelled tool for personal
and transpersonal discovery that soon began to be part of the monthly
individual and collective check up of the Community's members.
"The game
in a box" was the first name that Joy gave to her creation. Then an
american visitor to the Foundation: Kathy Tyler, saw the great depth of
such a game and helped Joy to commercialize it. They called it "The
Transformation Game". Mery Inglis and Judy Mc Allistair, Findhorn
members like Joy, became facilitators/focalizers of the Game and started
helping Joy and Kathy in the process of distributing the game throughout the
world as well as forging new focalizers that could guide the Game for
others. Today thousands of facilitators around the globe
(myself included - in fact the first in my country, Spain) use The
Transformation Game in its multiple variations (for small or large groups, for
enterprise decisions and for Planetary state and future vision).

Is about this
latter, "The Planetary Game" that I want to speak today.
As many other
courses or events that were programmed for the months of March, April or May,
the "Planetary Transformation Game" was dismissed and didn't take
place at the Universal Hall of the Findhorn Foundation which is where it's
generally played, a beautiful architectural building with a transparent
dome. On the contrary the four mentioned "presenters" of the
Planetary Game -as they want to be called- generously offered -free of charge-
what is called "The Next Steps", which is the shortest version of the
Transformation Game for a given purpose.
120 people from
all over the world connected through Zoom were actively conscious witness
of the drawing of just 4 cards of each deck that would represent the
response for the following purpose having meaning for each of us individually
and collectively as human race:
Engaging
with the Emerging Future
We intend to settle into the grace and strength of our essential identity, step into whole-hearted engagement with the Soul of the World and the Soul of Humanity
and activate new patterns of relationship that serve the whole earth community.

Even though I could write a
lot more about the deep meaning of each of the cards I find that I do not need
to do so as you as a conscious community will understand as the cards are going
to be self explanatory for you as one can take them for personal comprehension
and guide in this confinement situation (or even in the death of a loved one or
having the present sickness) or we can apply it and give significance at a
large stand, understanding the height and depth, therefore the Altitude of the
response to the proposed PURPOSE !!!
I was very very
touched by the whole process (and that is why I want to share it with you my
Chartres Community and UU friends) and was thrilled by each one of the cards
being the Angel card of Expentancy the one that showed me the Reality in which
we all are right now. We're awed in front of a present box -that reminds me of
the "Chartres Dreams"- that we do not know what it contains.
We're pregnant with the Expentancy of a new seed with the same uncertainty of a
coming birth, the birth of a new Humanity, of a new me, a new you.
