Okay, now we have a rainbow of individual alert levels:

So, while we’re saying that Alert Level Red signals Terror, Orange signals Fear, and Yellow signals Caution,  it is important to notice where these ideas come from. They come from the culture of fear around us. It’s pretty much everywhere right now. The good news is that we are playing with the idea of creating our own rainbow and so far, we have Alert Level Green to signal Openness, Blue to signal Possibility Thinking, and Purple to signal Dancing Inside.

Aha! She says, and there is the secret! In order to redefine all of the alert rainbow, we need to quit looking to the external world as our point of reference, because basically, it’s a muddy mess out there right now. Look how fun it is to imaging green, blue and purple as positive alerts!

So what if we keep going and redefine Red as, well maybe Love! And Orange as Creativity. And Yellow as Personal Power. You see, just by turning our attention from “out there” to “in here” we have transformed terror into love, fear into creativity and caution into personal power. And that is only the beginning, because there are a zillion shades, hues and tones of personal experience to add to red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. In fact there are so many colors available that we simply cannot find any limitation to the signals we could create inside ourselves.

More tomorrow on the great RAINBOW CONVERTER – which in your life, is you of course!

I’m done for now talking about lenses, except to see what happens if we cross reference the series on lenses with the prior (and still in progress) series on Alert Levels – like Red, Orange, Yellow, and now with our input, Green and Blue.  That pretty much leaves Purple if we’re sticking with your basic primary and secondary colors.

On April 27, I touched on Alert Level Purple as it applies to the excitement Allan and I are feeling as we are getting feedback on the business plan we’ve been stewarding forward for the past four and a half months. So here’s the report: Very Exciting!!

Even our most conservative, don’t-understand-a-thing-about-self-development-products-or-internet-marketing associates are giving us high marks. There are some challenges, of course, things to edit, but bottom line for me is that I’m learning so much right now about where this business is going, that my concept for it is getting more and more refined, which means we have some editing to do anyway.

High creative tension here, and I’m thinking that may be Alert Level Purple, where we let go of trying to understand the business plan development intellectually, and let it go into the same kind of collage process we’ve been discussing recently. We can see our plan readers as different lenses. We can form a vision that we will benefit completely from all of the different perspectives, stay open to the essential DNA of this business development process, and expect ease and grace to have us sliding into home before very long.
