History of Resources and Activities Up to the Present

In 1996 The Concordia Foundation's resources and activities were:

	One and a half million dollars in assets were linked to a Venture Capital Portfolio whose principle project was the installation of large-scale telecommunications in China. This was being supervised by The Foundation's financial officer at the time, Greg Sarkissian.(For present status see below)
	Television programs on Manhattan Neighborhood Network, under the banner of "New Realities" and "Farther Down the Rabbit Hole", currently consisting of a growing library with over 600 interviews of cutting edge paradigm shifting leaders. These productions are still overseen by The Foundation's Media Director, Alan Steinfeld who today is recognized as New York's "Point Man" for all events Spiritual and Holistic (see Alan's website: newrealities.com)
	Theatrical productions merging science and spirit, including the play "Quintessence: A Vision for the New Millennium" as well as the presentation of children stories and articles. This was headed by our Artistic Director, Marc Maislen who presently is working on the West Coast but still assists Concordia as an advisor.
	Our Health Awareness Director, Paula Gloria Tsaconas (AKA Tsakona) had acontributing relationship with The AIMS Hospital in southern India, which is involved in innovative AIDS research. Paula continues to be involved in AIDS awareness and often invites guests on her present daily TV show "Farther Down the Rabbit Hole", which deals with politics and spirituality, all methods leading to better social and personal health.
	Documentary video "The Song of the Flowers" about Judy Griffin, herbalist, chemist and researcher on flower essences as cancer therapy. This was the beginning of an on-going series of profiles on important healing therapists produced by Paula Gloria Tsaconas. Today Paula continues this work with several thousand "hits" daily on her YouTube account as well as a newly launched daily video streaming on rabbitholecentral.tv which she often does with Harold Channer, the world's longest standing Public Access TV producer.
	Bill Cote and BC Video was our Director in charge of The Foundation's post-production facilities. Today he continues to work on material that extends the momentum gained from his smash success with an Emmy Award winning documentary "Mystery of the Sphinx"
	John Anthony West is consultant to The Foundation's Ancient Wisdom Fund. An example of the range of his thinking can be gained from an interview by Alan Steinfeld with John Anthony West and Webster Tarpley about the rise and fall of civilization. John West was the star on "The Mystery of the Sphinx" which won an Emmy for Best Research in 1993 dealing with the water erosion on the Sphinx which puts the beginning of human civilization back possibly thousands of years. Webster Tarpley, author of 9/11 Synthetic Terror - Made in USA has been a guest on Paula's show often. Over 35 shows with Webster can be seen at RabbitHoleCentral.tv Webster Tarpley playlist.

Sustainable Media

The Foundation's financial support was lost when the telecommunication investment in China lost support. By tracking down the investment Paula Gloria (as she is know to her viewers) discovered 9/11 Truth which lent tremendous dynamism to her (up until then solely) spiritual shows on TV. Today she is very enthused about alternative media that can be created by the mass's access to extended technological ability. Her concern is that the viewer should not be overwhelmed or out of balance with the rest of the society, those who depend and believe in the information piped in from mainstream media (as opposed to an interactive platform). Viewers can become truly more empowered with accurate knowledge and more effective in their personal life and social obligations as long as knowledge is constantly on-going. In this way powerful nations, made up of powerful (informed) people can come out of denial about the horror of war, racism, violence and all other expressions of poor personal and social health, and DEAL MORE effectively and accurately with creating new realities.


Rabbit Hole Central

Some have called the casual Gramercy Park studio in which Paula shoots many of her shows an "Electronic Salon", a term calling to mind this area's past outstanding interaction between social, artistic and literary leaders such as Madam Blavatsky, O'Henry, Peter Cooper, Edwin Booth (to name just a very few). While in the past it was considered a great priviledge to be included in such gatherings today the intimacy and education can be extended to many, allowing unlimited numbers to have access to the most profound thinking of scholars, thinkers and healers. The importance of this is particularly evident in a time when as Harold Channer says "punctuated equlibrium" and "qualitative transformation" means the old institutions are failing. It is critical in times where the most important thinking for technological advancement and human survival may be locked-out of peer reviewed journals simply because vested interests might loose a short term profit, concerned only with the benefit of a few at the expense of the many, missing the urgent importance of including all.

Want to Become a Sponsor? Or Just Leave a Tip....?

Following the interest in the Internet Concordia wants to take the next step to create and manifest institutions in line with what people are watching and wanting. The first step of manifestation is interactivity, the internet has been taken, people leave comments. The next step is to exchange energy on a physical level with money or services to create solid platforms where the power of old, out-dated systems can be superceded as a result of applied knowledge and thus the greater numbers of people can their power, faith and responsibility to life. To say thank you to life.

	Powerful Possibilities for Your Donations
	Applying Nonviolent Communication skills for conflict resolution between sincere researchers
	Sponsor conferences on topics missed by vested interests-based charities
	Develop a Web Based Royalty System to Distribute "Tips" (pledges of donations made through the Internet) so that those guests most appreciated by the viewer can be compensated accordingly. Today those providing the content on the Internet are lowest on the food chain and most inclined to give up or be bought out. Unless a gift orientation is developed and the concept of charity become vibrant and meaningful, the usual corporate mentality will overtake the freedom now on the internet.
	Regular Physical Meeting Spaces. Meeting on the Internet is powerful but physical encounters and physical group focus imperative.
	Productions of enlightened theatrical pieces. Such artistic concepts can move and shift mainstream's grasp of what is possible
	Networking public access cable television stations across the country to promote a more broad based communication. In particular the reality that material scarcity has been transcended has not been given enough attention, nor the tremendous importance of technology, better understood (not just used), to enhance our culture and civilization.
	Develop more programing that empowers the viewer to participate more in life, not just stare at a computer screen. Could be meditation procedures, cooking skills, health insights, any new abilites learned to make life more rewarding and democracy more effective.

In seeking ways to "Out Think the Think Tanks" Concordia hopes to address the limitations usual Think Tanks have. These inevitable limitations (due to funding ultimately by a weapons industry or a "we are better" philosophy) distract us from realities of new technological ability to create and provide for all.

Through the cynical use of "benevolent" institutions, hidden agendas distract, pull our attention and waste our energy so that we do not notice how much is spent developing weapons from the very technology that could launch us into new realities instead species annihilation.

Your donations help change this trend. Your donations help launch a new reality where our artists can become the dynamic shapers of society and our benefactors the new visionaries.
