When Humanity Comes Together As One

25 November 2019 Leave a Comment

What would the world be like for future generations if humanity united as one, undivided by our ethnicities, our religions, our borders and our cultures? It all begins by spreading our compassion outwards and expanding our circle of “we.” "This virtue, one of the noblest with which man is endowed, seems to arise incidentally from our sympathies becoming more tender and more widely diffused until they are extended to all sentient beings." ~ Charles Darwin In this 8-minute video, Vishen Lakhiani … Watch video

For Citizenship by John O’Donohue

26 September 2019 Leave a Comment

In these times when anger Is turned into anxiety And someone has stolen The horizons and mountains, Our small emperors on parade Never expect our indifference To disturb their nakedness. They keep their heads down And their eyes gleam with reflection From aluminum economic ground, The media wraps everything In a cellophane of sound, And the ghost surface of the virtual Overlays the breathing earth. The industry of distraction Makes us forget That we live in a universe. We have become … Continue reading

Why we need community to live in the new story | Charles Eisenstein

6 August 2019 Leave a Comment

Enlightenment is a group activity. At least that is true for me. How do we keep each other afloat in an emerging story of who we are and how we can be? When the riptide of the existing culture tries to pull us under? That's the theme of this video, which Ian MacKenzie filmed as part of an interview for his new film, Love School. ~ Charles Eisenstein Watch video

What If There Were No Future? Some Overlooked Consequences of Exponential Growth | Peter Russell

4 August 2019 Leave a Comment

Imagine the world thirty years from now. Very likely we'll see quantum computing, nano-tech medicine, 3D-printed organs, artificial intelligence surpassing that of the human brain, possibly fusion power. Advances in molecular biology could be pushing life-expectancy ahead faster than we are ageing. Our bodies, senses, and mental functions may be augmented in ways that seem like science fiction today. These are just a few of the more obvious extrapolations of current trends. Our predictions can, … Continue reading

Reimagine Everything

10 July 2019 Leave a Comment

"The time has come for us to reimagine everything. We have to reimagine work and go away from labor. We have to reimagine revolution and get beyond protest. We have to think not only about change in our institutions, but changes in ourselves. We are at the stage where the people in charge of the government and industry are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. It’s up to us to reimagine the alternatives and not just protest against them and expect them to do better. "We are at … Continue reading

The 3.5% rule: how a small minority can change the world

3 July 2019 Leave a Comment

"Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change. "In each case, civil resistance by ordinary members of the public trumped the political elite to achieve radical change. "There are, of course, many ethical reasons to use nonviolent strategies. But compelling research by Erica Chenoweth, a political scientist at Harvard University, confirms that civil disobedience is not … Continue reading
