Vessels are organizations of pioneers made to reach new unknown territories and spaces. Vessels and pioneers go along together. They cannot be separated.
The metaphor of vessels is universal and atemporal. It applies to past explorers doing sea or land expeditions as well as futuristic movies or novels.
Because they are not made to navigate in usual known spaces, these vessels need special design so they can face as much unknown conditions as current understanding can anticipate them. Crew needs to build specific navigational practices, specific expertise, specific acountabilities, specific social behaviors, etc. Their life onboard is certainly not like conventional life in ordinary society.
Vessels embark two kinds of pioneers:
Today's vessels are meant to explore the next shores of consciousness and how these new spaces of subjective reality are going to build into new external objective reality as for evolution of sentient life (that may not be restricted to humankind).
Today's vessels may have different destinations such as "building the next free currency system", or "build a global network of integral communities", or "build an international network of sustainable, ethical restaurants", etc.
No matter what the final destination is, each of these destinations can only be achieved by global wisdom driven organizations (GWDO). And GWDO's need the next free currency systems to exist. That's the common structure they need no matter where they go.
TheTransitioner.org is one of these vessels. A tiny exploratory vessel made to reach those 2 core objectives mentioned above. It makes it a path opener for others. Other pioneering vessels are likely to join the expedition, although they have different purpose and destination.
Current conventional organizations, including large corporations, NGO's, governments, may consider supporting their own pioneers and their related vessels. Such expeditions are what will serve their own evolution.
