To conclude your blog post on a high note, here are a few options for a Call to Action (CTA) and an engaging question that invites your readers to move from passive reading into the state of "Doing".
Option 1: The "Inventory" Call to Action
This option encourages readers to directly participate in the "Havingness" exercise you established.
CTA:
Join the Orientation. We are building a collective inventory of what must never be lost. Take a moment to define your own non-negotiables—those anchors that will help us navigate our power without losing our humanity.
The Question:
"If you had to pick just one thing—one value, one natural wonder, or one human right—that must be preserved at all costs for the species to truly 'survive,' what would it be?"
Option 2: The "Mindset Shift" Call to Action
This focuses on the "Being" aspect of your
CTA:
Shift Your Being. Today, stop identifying as a member of a "divided species" and start acting as a member of a species that intends to survive. Let this shared orientation guide your next argument, your next vote, and your next innovation.
The Question:
"How would our global conversations change if we all started from the assumption that our primary goal is collective survival rather than individual victory?"
Option 3: Short & Punchy (For social sharing)
CTA:
Adopt the Strategy. Share this post to help spread a shared orientation and move us up the scale of Havingness.
The Question:
"Are we ready to 'have' the power we’ve created, or are we still letting it have us?"
Would you like me to help you format these into the final section of your
1. The Be-Do-Have Model
This model suggests that for any goal to be achieved, the sequence must start with Identity (Be) rather than Action (Do) or Possession (Have).
Be: This is the state of "beingness" or identity. In your text, this corresponds to the shared orientation. It is the internal decision of who we are (a species that intends to survive) and what we value.
Do: These are the actions taken based on that identity. You mention a course of action and the act of "arguing about everything else." These are the "doingness" steps that flow from a secure "beingness."
Have: This is the result or "havingness." In your post, this is survival and the preservation of "what must never be lost."
2. The Scale of Havingness
In this philosophical framework, Havingness is defined as the ability to reach, touch, or direct the disposition of something. A "Scale of Havingness" typically measures a person's or group's ability to comfortably possess or confront their environment.
Low Havingness: A state where a group feels they cannot "reach" or control their future, leading to division and the feeling of being a "divided species."
High Havingness: A state of "fullness" or "contentment" where the group has enough shared reality (ARC - Affinity, Reality, Communication) to "have" a future together.
3. Application to Your Post
Your draft argues that Unity is not "sameness" (which would be a forced "Beingness") but shared orientation. By focusing on the "Be" (the shared orientation), the species gains the "Havingness" (the capacity) to survive its own power. Without that shared "Be," the "Do" (the course of action) becomes scattered and ineffective.
Would you like me to help refine the "course of action" steps in your draft based on these Be-Do-Have principles?
