Vision:
“As Governments, we stumble from crisis to crash program, lurching into the future without plan, without hope, without vision." (1)
“The Chief characteristic of the volitional act is the existence of a purpose to be achieved; the clear vision of an aim." (2)
“Vision is the arrow one aims at the distant target. Aimed too low, it may reach a place not of one’s dream. We must aim high." (3)

Our Vision:
We have a dream where everyone in the world becomes human: and on the way of "human becoming" (4) learns to, sanctify human diversity, if not yet loving one another, at least caring for one another and acting in every way they can to protect and include one another in life’s joy. This is a world where inclusion dominates the way people think about human diversity, and where people seek pathways of peace instead of war and segregation.

Goal:
A goal is one length upon which we measure our arrow’s trajectory towards its target.

Our Goal:
By the end of the decade, we will build and grow a community of one million inclusionists who converse and share with one another in line with our dream to live in an inclusive world.

Actions:
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, not by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting. A man of knowledge chooses a path with heart and follows it. (5) Our call is not a call to arms but a call to learning.

Our Actions:

To act in ways consistent with our dream in everything we do.
To discover and act from positions of our unique places in the world

For us, at this point in time, this seems to be the development of a “book” about the visions, experiences and knowledge of inclusion that have been “floating” around in Darrell’s head for a few decades or so.
These are visions, experiences and knowledge that Paul is positioned and seems called to learn about so that we can share these with others and move towards our goal.
The specific act of this year will be to create at least 1 book that:

Is easy to read, and can be read over and over again;
Covers the literature;
Is a seminal work that defines the moment in history, shifts the tide, and turns the corner towards inclusion in our neck of the woods; and
Transcends paperback, and so melds into interactive media and mediums

To assist others to find their unique places of action and thread these actions together into a fabric of inclusive community actions which we call, ‘intentional inclusionary events' (6)

The development of opportunities for people to come together to develop, refine and share knowledge about inclusion through:

A diverse network of parents, teachers, teacher aides, school communities, policy makers, government, etc.
A dialogue at seminars, retreats, surveys, which explicates the “New IQ”, technical and useful/practical issues of inclusion.
Meeting the needs of those wishing to be good inclusionists in their roles as parents, teachers, principals, others
A building of leadership, which can hold the vision sacred, model and explicate the will and skill, and hold others to account.

To create a financial base allowing the ongoing resourcing of new intentional inclusionary projects.

‘Pay it Forward’: Giving the first 10% of all profits of all of our activities towards future inclusionary projects.
Encouraging 1 million others to adopt the principle of ‘Pay it Forward’ as part of our goal to build new resource into the fabric of our society.

Darrell used analogy to explain to me how to create a vision. It "worked for me" in helping setting this vision and share it here as our definition of vision.
Darrell first wrote about human becomings in developing an extract on "The New IQ". This is one of the things we want to get out of his head and explicated in publication.
Carlos Castaneda, A Separate Reality.
Wills first coined this term to describe the "consciousness raising response a society must develop as a new habit to counter the mostly unconscious habits of segregation that permeate our thinking about "what to do", in another of the extracts of The New IQ, the Recovering Segregator.
