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

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

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

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

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

Could this local experiment be the start of a national transformation? by George Monbiot

Leave a Comment

"One London borough has been bringing people together to work, socialise and dream. The results are extraordinary. "If there is hope, it lies here, in the most deprived borough in London. Barking and Dagenham has shocking levels of unemployment, homelessness, teenage pregnancy, domestic violence and early death. Until 2010, it was the main stronghold of the British National party. Its population turns over at astonishing speed: every year, about 8% of residents move out. But over the past year … Continue reading

Embracing Radical Change with Pat McCabe, Woman Stands Shining

Leave a Comment

Pat McCabe, Woman Stands Shining, of the Diné nation, joins host Jocelyn Mercado as part of the Embracing Radical Change online event. Pat brings an indigenous perspective to the topical Western narrative, including the illusion of separation, our power-over paradigm, the capitalist system, consent and the 'MeToo' movement, and the intention required to surrender the old paradigm and effect radical change from an ordered, knowledgeable, wise, sacred, prayerful place of opening to a new spectrum … Watch video
