A nail through my left shoe

Good Morning Mr. Twigsnapper, (at least where I am)
You have asked a simple question that has turned into that hydra of previous discussion somewhere in this forum. I thought I would give you a progress report and perhaps you could clarify your original request a bit after you read where I am at.
Consortium:
1. a combination of financial institutions, capitalists, etc., for carrying into effect some financial operation requiring large resources of capital.
This particular part or definition could describe the "Caroline" but in my opinion it is only in part and more than probably is secondary to the primary goal of the group.
2. any association, partnership, or union.
Now this is more than likely what the "Caroline" is all about. Like minded individuals pursuing a like minded goal. I also must add that I believe a foundation of certain moral, ethical beliefs structure would be in order.
3. Law. the legal right of husband and wife to companionship and conjugal intercourse with each other: In a wrongful death action the surviving spouse commonly seeks damages for loss of consortium.
I am more than fairly certain that this does not apply, if I am wrong, I know you will correct me....and please, no magazines. <g>
Now my dilemma.
You speak of a consortium but the "Caroline" is much different. There are likely individuals that are "Caroline" that don't even know it. In fact, I am now more convinced that perhaps we here in the forum are "Caroline" and don't even realize it. I further believe that the REAL "Caroline" is rather quite condensed and though I would like to say it probably has it's own council of twelve, there are probably a wee bit more. Those individuals have their own connections in the world with different vocations that afford them the opportunity to further those goals of the "Caroline"'s inner sanctum. I believe the foundations of that group are wholly involved in improving the human condition and survival but only by a nudge here and a nudge there. Sort of like a planetary "teach a man to fish" dictum.
Now there is the rub.
In order for me to pick who/whom those 12 individuals are, would require me to know them. I don't know the Dahli Lama or Lisa Randall for that matter. Anyway, I believe that they are aware of the Caroline and that the latter has high odds of being one and that would include her sister as well. Again, I don't know them. I don't know what their inner self is like, what their soul envisions this world to be. Are they Capitalists? Republicans? Democrats? Satanist?......would I trust them with my Soul? and if so, could I trust them with the soul of the planet and all those upon it?
A further view in response to the question would be to answer with the type of individual I would choose. Of primary concern would be that the individuals must put the well being of mankind as primary importance and that decisions made, whether it be tough love or what ever is done with that in mind. Do I know twelve individuals like that? The answer is no. Which now brings me to this.
Am I to choose from individuals I don't even know? Do I choose the Dahli Lama and Lisa Randall? Do I choose from a host of other personalities? Is that what you are asking? And if so, I haven't the foggiest notion of what these people are like and I am to choose based upon what? Their background? It certainly is not upon their spiritual, moral or ethical beliefs unless of course that is the reason the individual is chosen as with the Dahli Lama. What if I chose an individual who has knowledge but is only interested in owning the outcome of the knowledge and wishes to exploit it? How am I to know this of the individual? The prerequisite is that I need to know them.
Do you wish me to choose from the forum based upon the writings that the individuals have posted? I don't think so for I wouldn't know where to start. But if that is the case......I choose everyone.
How about this, individuals who hold the highest respect for humankind and the planet and the universe, in that order would be selected. The twelve individuals would cover everything from the arcane to the concrete of what is known. There would be scientists, scholars and philosophers as well as poets and romantics and most of all, they must be dreamers. They must be able to look upon a field of dandelions and see the beauty but in the same vein look upon the world and recognize the horrors that exist. There would be no genders involved only like minded beings of light.
Well, this is where I am at. No specific names, only questions and no answers.
