ARK Vision – ARK Mission

Vision -> Mission -> Alignment -> Structure

Seeing and Dreaming

• “Some men see things as they are and ask why.

Others dream things that never were and ask

why not.”

– George Bernard Shaw

• “I am especially drawn to the idea that human

beings are not only astoundingly creative but

also that with our fertile minds and varied

emotions, we are actually dreaming this world…”

– Mary Carroll Nelson, in “Toltec Prophecies”

The 3 “V’s” Of Manifestation

• Visualize

• Verbalize

• Vitalize

The 4th “V”

• Values (Ideals)

VIBRATION (the 5th V)

• “I would like first to make sure that you

understand this fact: Existence is

vibration.”– Masaru Emoto, “The Hidden Messages In Water”

VIBRATING PLATE (Chladne)

Water Crystal (“Love & Gratitude”)

• “Music and spoken words are vibration…written words

themselves actually emit a unique vibration that water is

capable of sensing. Water…changes these vibrations

into a form that can be seen with the human eye.”

– Masaru Emoto, “The Hidden Messages in Water”

Mission Statement Example

Ravi’s Mission Statement

• ARK exists to reverse the human species' prevailing momentum towards self-annihiliation. – by enabling us to overcome our prevailing condition of

fragmentation, confusion and conflict

– by empowering us to fulfill instead the unlimited creativity, intelligence and ability that is intrinsic to us in our true identity as the Spiritual Dimension of the Universe which is manifest in the Material Dimension of the Universe as the human species.

• ARK will address and accomplish this mission -– by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas, capabilities and

resources that can contribute to the development and dissemination of content, methods and technologies that will deconstruct, dissolve, and defuse the prevailing distortions in the Conceptual Dimension of the Universe (MIND, individual and social) which distortions have been root cause of our prevailing fragmentation, conflict and confusion - and our resulting destructiveness.
