Everyone who’s ever met Buckminster Fuller can remember that day — and the shift it caused in their life.

I’d like to invite you to join me and my Bucky story on Tuesday August 13th at 10am PST or 6pm PST at www.onfullerliving.com

While a high school senior, my dad invited me to attend a lecture at the local community college.  I had never heard of Buckminster Fuller, but my dad knew it would be interesting.  Boy was it ever!  Bucky held everyone spellbound for three hours, offering a tour of the universe and humans’ place in it.  I drifted between amazement, wonder and even a bit of slumber.  I was a smart kid in school, but I couldn’t really tell you what he said — other than I knew it was real important.

Years later at a Hunger Project board meeting, I was honored again to hear Bucky — and hung on every word.  This time someone asked him, “what should we do?”  He admonished us all that day to read “Critical Path”, his final major book that outlined humanity’s steps to survival.  He said it was “touch and go.”  That was a warning and a challenge.

I had played the World Game event with Marshall Thurber, which offered a visceral experience of the global condition.  But not until reading Critical Path (page 206) did I discover the next project for my life.  There it was — the World Game’s ‘highest priority objective is integrating the world electrical energy grid’ — enabling us to access abundant local and remote renewable energy resources.  This was the beginning of the Global Energy Network Institute.

Now, the initiative to link renewable energy resources between regions is being espoused just last month by NOAA scientist James Hansen, Robert Kennedy Jr, Al Gore and T. Boone Pickens.  Bucky was right — the world was just in lag.

Buckminster Fuller has been one of the most influential people in my life, and I’d like to share some of my lessons.  I also want to thank all the previous experts for sharing their Bucky lessons during this event: Mark Victor Hansen, DC Cordova, Marshall Thurber, Bobbi DePorter, and Tom Crum. 

Please join me for this FREE event on Tuesday.  It’s easy to listen on the phone or on-line.

Hi, All You Bucky Fans!

You know, some people just want to listen to the On Fuller Living Teleseminar Series calls… which is great.

But some people want to do more.  They want to be involved in making this project happen.

This is a quick post for those who are interested in being a part of this On Fuller Living process and helping us get the word out.

The goal of the On Fuller Living project is to reach 10,000 people with information about the Global Energy Network Institute (GENI) and to raise $10,000 for their work toward bringing energy to 3rd world nations.

So far we have had 744 listeners and have raised $1,507.  It’s a great start!

If helping us go the distance sounds like fun to you, please listen to this 11 minute podcast by clicking the triangle below Peter and Paul’s names…

In this recording, Peter Meisen and I talk about the ways people can contribute and help this project (see my mind-map of the project below…)

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick photo from Marshall Thurber’s recent training where he talked about Success Principles for the 21 century. He also talked about Buckminster Fuller’s generalized principles, and how powerful an influence Bucky had been on his life.

By the way, Marshall will be our next speaker in the ON Fuller Living, Teleseminar Series.
The free call dates and times are:

May 13, 2008 - 10:00 am Pacific Time/ 1:00 pm East Coast Time

Evening Replay 6:00 pm Pacific Time/ 9:00pm East Coast Time

from left to right: Kristin Denton, Richard Himmer, Lew Gaiter, Chaz Brown,
Marshall Thurber, Virginia Brown, Nigel Pitcairan, and me, Paul Sterling.

Okay, now for the story behind these very cool tee shirts and how you can get one.

I came up with the idea because Marshall was coming to Colorado to do his workshop and I wanted to thank him for all the help he has been over the years in sharing Bucky’s wisdom with people… included me.

Then I decided, it would be both foolish and expensive to make just one tee shirt, so I had 24 made and as you can see in the picture, 8 are already gone… so we only have 16 left.

4 XXLarge shirts
4 XLarge shirts
6 Large Shirts
2 Medium Shirts

And here is how you can get, if you are fast. (yeah I know that sounds a little tacky, but there are over 727 on our mailing list and only 16 shirts)

So if you want one they are free… sort of - make a donation to On Fuller Living - GENI of over $100 (or more) and we will send you one. Oh yes, you will also get all the mp3s from the teleseminar series, worth $49.00.

Now I am flying out to San Diego on Friday, April 18th and will deliver to Peter any shirts that have not been claimed by then… so if you want one today, email me at paul@magicrelationship.com and I will put it aside and you can make your donation… then I will personally ship it to you.

With purpose, passion and possibility,

Paul Sterling

PS: most likely this is the only time we will do this as we are not in the tee shirt business, however if 30-40 more people want shirts… I guess I send the design out to Peter and he will have to bend to the will of the people and get some more made. (please don’t tell him I said that.)

PPS: if you have already donated and what a shirt… simply bring it above the $100 (or more) level and we will get one, as long as we still have them - I expect them to be gone by Monday.
