SING-OUT 2011: Short Intro for All

The SING-OUT 2011 Global Project

.

Hi! I am Ed Aurelio “Ding” Reyes, initiator of a year-long project dubbed “SING-OUT our LOVE, PEACE, JOY! 2011.” After creating recently a FaceBook account dedicated to this project, I am inviting everyone of you to become a FaceBook Friend of SING-OUT 2011, and to help us spread the word (including updates) on how it is shaping up over the months of this year and to be active participants in this project aiming to contribute the best we can to the evolution of human consciousness to the state of Synergy from Conscious Oneness ("sycone," pronounced as "seek one."). This project as a campaign is an initiative of Sycone-Humanity, a member-organization of the Pamayanang SanibLakas ng Pilipinas (Philippine Synergy Community), in cooperation with various individuals and entities in the Philippines and in other countries.

"SING-OUT 2011" seeks to cause an ever-growing number of family-based and friendship-based groups and circles to create, collate, share and frequently sing out together happy songs on fraternal LOVE, on real lasting PEACE, and on deep JOY, in their homes, schools, parks, offices, etc. in an ever-growing number of localities throughout the world starting in the year 2011.

The timetable for SING-OUT 2011 follows below:

January 1 - April 30: Widest introduction of the "SING-OUT 2011 project" as we can, and as it shapes up, to invite all who are reached to decide to participate in ways and to the extent that they freely choose. Further spreading the word (by forwarding its messages to many friends by various means) is one great way of participating throughout the year. (Note: We will suggest to the environmental conservation movement in the Philippines and in other countries to mobilize their members, communities and families to sing environmental advocacy songs together in their homes, parks, schools, and offices on Earth Day, April 22 (a Friday).

May 1 - June 30: First Period of singing out by all participating groups everywhere, with focus on the value of bringing out our happy voices together, to sing “of good things, not bad; of happy, not sad” not worrying "that it is not good enough for anyone else to hear.” (Note: May 2011 is commemoration month of the 45^th anniversary of the SING-OUT Folk Song Festival staged by the Baguio International Club in May 1966.)

July 1 - August 31: Second Period, with all participating groups to focus on songs with universal human LOVE as theme.

September 1 - October 31: Third Period, with all the participating groups to focus on songs with real, lasting PEACE as theme. (Note: September is the World Peace Consciousness Month as declared by the United Nations.)

November 1 - December 31: Fourth Period, with all participating groups to focus on songs with deep, profound, widely shared JOY as theme.(Note: this period embraces joyful holidays of both the Christian and Muslim communities throughout the word.)
