7 Easy Steps to Becoming a WikiWorldCitizen
1: Combating dehumanizing systems
As with the Matrix, the real battle is to dissolve ones own inner limitations. “Free your mind!” Unleashing the power of ones imagination makes this possible. As Marianne Williamson once said, our deepest fear is that “we are powerful beyond measure … As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others”. Claiming our own power to imagine takes education, undoing of the mind and taking what we know into action.

4: Speak for the Other
People are collaborating across the borders, taking turns to speak the truth. What is seen in the recent independent documentary film, The Cove where non Japanese citizens exposed the cruel practice of dolphin killing, to Japanese congressman calling for 9-11 truth investigation, speaking things that Americans have a difficulty dealing with, Russian news outlet, Russia Today give voices to those who are shut out in the US corporate media, though they won’t criticize their own government. Each takes a turn speaking for each other on behalf of this fragile planet.
5: Join Creative and Sustainable Commons
Creative commons are people who are driven not by profit motives, but a sense of service, using one’s skill, talent and passion as a gift to the larger community. Music, blogs by ordinary citizens are a part of the movement that transforms the way we relate to and sharing with each other on all levels.

7: Life as Schooling
“The question is not: what knowledge or skills does a person need to have in order to benefit the existing social order. But: what pre-disposition does this person have, and what is capable of development? Then it will be possible to channel new energies from the rising generation into the social order. Then the rising generation will not be fitted into the mold of the existing society, rather society will be what these newly recruited adults make of it” – Rudolf Steiner
