Good morning. This is Nicole Harley Bradford at 5:20 a.m. on Thursday, October 24.
I’ve been struck — perhaps “hit” is the best way to describe it — by thoughts, inspiration, and visions for something new. I must give credit where credit is due: to Seth Klein, whose short film I watched about a week ago. The film detailed how governments worldwide mobilized for World War II, particularly highlighting how Canada built an astonishing number of war machines to help fight against Hitler.
What struck me this morning was the idea of mobilizing humanity for Gaia. This isn’t about waiting for a government initiative; it’s about creating a grassroots mobilization plan. Essentially, it provides a starting point for anyone willing to contribute. For example, if you’re someone with financial resources — perhaps you own a home that you could remortgage. Then you could gather the tangible supplies we need, such as seeds, wood, and materials from hardware stores.
Imagine creating a list of supplies to hand off to skilled individuals who can implement the necessary infrastructure. If you have land — especially unused or fallow land even… parking lots — you could transform those spaces. Picture turning barren wastelands, deserts, or un-valuabe lots into paradises. Install eavestroughs on buildings and set up rainwater catchment systems, even in areas with minimal rainfall. We can use old garbage cans or rubbermaid containers to collect water, strategically placing them where needed. This way, when it rains, we capture as much water as possible, which can be stored in larger systems for future use like irrigation.
Another item to include in our supply list would be seeds. Personally, I know we have enough seeds here at my mum’s place to cultivate a garden far larger than our available space. Additionally, we could establish a local directory connecting those with financial means, land, skills or… time… to learn these skills. This directory would help identify resources: where can we find manure, seaweed, cardboard? It would create a local supply chain, facilitating the transfer of materials to the areas where we need to implement these systems.
We don’t need hoses; with a collective effort, people can manually accomplish tasks. Each project to create a food forest would have a trio of Possibility Managers ensuring that the human element works effectively. This initiative represents an anti-war effort, waging peace by nurturing food-growing projects that also help calm environmental/climatic upheaval.
Wherever there’s dryness and heat, we can greenify the area with food forests, collaborating with locals as much as possible. In these groups, participants would focus on decision-making, learning to feel and heal, which enables collaborative cooperation without reactivity that might otherwise halt progress due to interpersonal conflicts.
This movement would also focus on gathering food to support people away from their homes. Essentially, we could create a supply chain that turns assets into money through banks or wealthy individuals who can invest in these projects. The first wave of participants might purchase essential supplies like wheelbarrows, eavestroughs, shovels, machetes, manure, and soil.
This winter could be an ideal time for seed collection and preparing spaces in sheltered environments for planting. We should maximize greenhouse space to ensure that when the weather and light conditions are favorable, seeds can be planted in these protected gardens. While this is happening, we can strategize on where to plant out the crops.
It’s essential that those dedicated to this cause are committed and not tied to paid jobs. Many retired individuals or those who are financially independent can contribute their time and resources. These individuals could then train others in these practices.
As more people join, we could engage governments and philanthropists with available funds to support the next wave, focusing on manufacturing necessary supplies to replenish stores that might have run out of tools, seeds, and other essentials. Seed collection would play a crucial role, as we primarily grow plants to stabilize the climate, nourish people and animals, and create seed stock for future growing seasons.
This movement starts with those who can act now, who will apprentice and train others to sustain ongoing projects. It creates a ripple effect, spreading to new initiatives as people who are trained replace themselves and take on new challenges.
Additionally, we might implement passive solar heating systems and passive solar dehydration units, enabling us to process harvests without relying heavily on refrigeration or power-based methods. The first wave of infrastructure building would also involve builders skilled in permaculture practices, particularly focusing on contained passive solar, electric solar, wind or hydro setups.
By establishing functional outdoor kitchens made from reclaimed, local, available, sustainable materials, we can reduce reliance on conventional appliances. Instead, we can dig root cellars and set up outdoor kitchens powered by locally available resources, such as deadfall that comes from forests.
We could enlist foragers to gather dry deadfall, reducing the fire risk in the forests by removing kindling that would ignite during a lightning strike or by careless human actions.
In this vision, seeds sprout in newly constructed greenhouses, while water catchment systems are set up close to where we will plant out the crops. We’d introduce fruit and nut trees and plant annuals and perennials, spreading food, seeds, and water across desertified former parking lots and barren spaces.
Building up these areas would involve layering cardboard, manure, compost, and soil to create “lasagna beds.” With rainfall and time these break down into rich beds for growing food. Experts in permaculture can create recipes tailored for any location, ensuring effective site preparation as we grow seeds in greenhouses and establish water systems.
As the seasons change, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere, fall and winter are the perfect seasons to spread awareness. If you have time — whether you’re retired, unemployed, or financially comfortable — take action. Send this on, and connect with systems thinkers who can support and implement this vision.
Share Seth’s video and use your resources to make copies or distribute information via whichever means you like to use. First, we need to disseminate information; then mobilize seeds to greenhouses, gardens, and communities. Every effort that needs to be made should involve hands-on workshops, enabling those unfamiliar with these practices to come and learn.
Gathering supplies and building a toolkit doesn’t require vast sums of money; people can knock on doors, explaining what they’re gathering and inviting others to join. A portion of each day can involve virtual meetings where Possibility Managers train participants to learn how to feel and heal, fostering collaboration among humans without conflicts or opinion-based battles growing and hindering progress.
Anyone interested in joining this mobilization can start joining digital spaces, such as Heart Gym or 3–3–3 Initiation spaces. These are foundational programs offered by Possibility Managers worldwide, many of whom speak multiple languages.
Ultimately, we need to get the 5 Bodies alive, get the physical bodies infused with the energy from the emotional body as the emotions and the feelings start to move.
As the grief starts to pour as the fire of rage and passion starts to build. As the electricity of fear starts to be released in the body because it’s not being used by unconscious anger and fear to mix and dampen it and make depression and slow moving people who aren’t on fire about mobilizing for Gaia.
Mobilizing for a bright future for humanity.
Mobilizing for the second and third worlds.
Mobilizing for generations to come.
Mobilizing for the species that are being lost every day.
Mobilizing for calming the climate.
Mobilizing for cooling the Earth.
Mobilizing for having the time of our lives.
That seems to be it for now.
I’m going to start writing and sending things to people and we’ll see what we can do.
I believe in you Humanity. I totally think you’re up for this.

Notes made afterward:
Already people in communities all over are gathering for purposes that are closely related of the scope of this Mobilization:
Climate Activists, emergency preparedness people, Preppers, herbalists, foragers, entrepreneurs who make, sell, or teach people to make and sell wild or cultivated foodstuffs, medicinal stuff, and all the add ons like the containers they go in, the clothes people wear to hunt and forage….
And the people who are doing the healing work, community building, and making the fun things happen for when the hard workers want a change of pace.
I myself hold space for local gatherings of Climate activists where I live and travel to in western Canada, and train people to start their own Climate Cafe projects. I set up workshops, help organize trainings.
For the evolutionary human expansion, transformation I don’t know better than Possibility Management. It mobilizes humans for Archiarchy, and I don’t think there is anything more important or ecstatic than creating Archiarchy. In fact, if Archiarchy creation was the number one focus of a critical mass of people, the regenerative regreening of Gaia would be an inevitable outcome. It is getting there. I think this mobilization could help many more heartful humans connect with Possibility Management.
