THE WORLD SHIFT 2012 DECLARATION

THE CRISIS AND THE OPPORTUNITY

There is no doubt that we are now in a state of global emergency. This unprecedented worldwide

crisis is a symptom of a much deeper problem: the current state of our consciousness; how we think

about ourselves, and our world. We have the urgent need and, now the opportunity, for a complete

rethink: to reconsider our values and priorities, to understand our interconnectedness and to shift in

a new direction - living in harmony with nature and each other.

Every person, community, and society in the world is already, or will soon be, affected by the crisis,

through climate change, economic breakdown, ecosystem collapse, population pressure, food and

water shortages, resource depletion, nuclear and other threats. If we continue on our present

unsustainable path, by mid-century the Earth could become largely uninhabitable for human and

countless other forms of life. However, total system-collapse could occur much sooner caused by

eco-catastrophes or escalating wars triggered by religious, geopolitical or resource conflicts.

These threats are real. The underlying causes of the present global crisis have been building

momentum for decades and could soon become irreversible. Estimates of when the point of no

return will be reached have been reduced from the end of the century, to mid-century, to the next

twenty years, and recently to the next five to ten years.

The window of opportunity for pulling out of the current crisis and breaking through to a peaceful and

sustainable world may be no more than a few years from now. This timeline coincides with the

many forecasts and prophecies that speak of the ending of the current cycle of human life on this

planet, and the possible dawning of a new consciousness by the end of the year 2012.

Today, millions of forward-thinking groups and individuals all over the world are addressing the

many opportunities presented at this critical time. Designs for sustainable systems, structures and

technologies are being developed and implemented in all sectors, at all levels and in every society.

This global awakening is a hopeful sign of the vitality of the human spirit and our ability to respond to

the dangers we now face with insight and creativity.

The totality of our current efforts does not yet match the scope, scale and urgency of the necessary

transformation. If we now collaborate and act with vision, foresight and commitment we can lay the

foundations of a global community that is both peaceful and sustainable. We may then ensure our

survival and wellbeing, as well as that of future generations. While the window of time is still open,

our top priority, as global citizens, is to accelerate our evolutionary shift to a planetary

consciousness and, together, lay the foundations for a peaceful, just and sustainable world.

AN URGENT CALL

We accordingly issue this urgent call to all the peoples of the world to deepen our awareness of both

the dangers and the opportunities of the global crisis.

We GotTrouble.com declare our firm commitment to work together to bring about a timely and positive WorldShift.

GotTrouble.com - A Website For Troubled Times
(by Mark Silber)

After years of practicing law, Henry Dahut was convinced that helping his clients solve their legal trouble was only a part of the solution. Clients in legal trouble needed much more. They needed to get their lives back in order. Often this meant having to borrow money, relocate or find a new job. And rarely were clients ever prepared for the emotional side of trouble.

Dahut soon realized that people in legal and financial trouble required a variety of services and resources - not just legal or financial - and that sounded like an opportunity as well as a challenge.

Henry envisioned a site that was upbeat, supportive and non-judgmental, a place where people in trouble could share experiences, insights and have instant access to a wide variety of helpful services - all from a single resource.

On July 4, 2008, exactly eight years to the day of it's founding, GotTrouble.com 2.0 will finally be released and according to some industry experts, the timing for this company couldn't be more perfect.

GotTrouble.com combines over 40 different vertical markets into a single one-stop, fully integrated, easy-to-remember brand solution. Branding by "event" remarks Dahut, rather then by a single service or product encourages a more comprehensive and informed search experience for the consumer in trouble.

The new and revamped GotTrouble.com resembles the original version, but on steroids.

The user experience is still event-centric, but now the presentation and business model have evolved substantially. The new GotTrouble.com offers breakthrough visual capabilities, social networking features and for many types of smaller advertisers, listing opportunities that are both profitable and compelling. It's a business model, in short, designed to avoid trouble.

Another advantage is that advertising dollars spent by one type of service provider gets aggregated with the advertising dollars spent by a totally different type of service provider. For example, someone searching under the event of divorce will find not only local divorce lawyers, but also local locksmiths, moving services, storage, therapists and short-term lenders.

What's more, smaller advertisers like locksmiths and therapists get charged different rates based on the advertiser's specific industry. It's a variable pricing approach that encourages smaller budget advertisers to participate with the bigger budget advertisers within the same bundled solution.

GotTrouble.com pulls together the best web technologies and business models for people in crisis and the companies that serve them. "It's a supportive community experience combined with a richly resourced directory," Dahut says. "It's three different business models seamlessly integrated into one comprehensive brand solution."
