Ladies & Gentlemen, financial terrorism has been eating away at the global psyche. It is the 1st of October, a new moon, a new month, a new quarter, and a new persepective about our Brave New World in the City is here.
Mind the extra gap again, please. For weeks now the news bombardment and absolutely obvious manipulations of entire global systems has been stewing, waiting to break out, be breaking news. It still is, however, in the meantime, here is an entree to consider, to think about, and hopefully read through.
When treachery is no longer necessary to mobilise humankind towards greater consciousness, what will the world look like?
Once we travel through the past, even semi-consciously, we can then somewhat intelligently view future possibilities. The past is riddled with evidence revealing our persistent, albeit occasionally unconscious movement to expand our consciousness. Consider what is required to become and be great. To be remembered and respected.
Today, what is our history going to look like? Who will shape legacies monumental enough to last generations? It certainly won’t be pathetic publicity-mongers such as Paris Hilton. (I think in about 40 years we’ll read a headline that will say, “Whatever happened to the Hilton Girls?” And there will be a photo of two large blonde women wearing mu-mu’s surrounded by their 12 cats and 6 birds
The 20th century holds a long list of thinkers, doers, innovateurs: Madame Curie, Nikola Tesla, Aldous Huxley, Edward R. Murrow, Lucille Ball, Leonard Bernstein, and The Beatles. I’m going to sound like a Billy Joel or R.E.M. song in a minute. The list gives you an idea. They gave us legacies; they shifted our lives, culturally, socially, and politically. While living through their respective decades, each was an evolutionary leader with vision. They crossed thresholds and barriers which actually shifted human consciousness. Back to the theme of icons for a second. I have to ask. Who are we creating to show tomorrow’s world?
More than ever, tritely addressed too, corporate tentacles reach across the globe, shifting Earth’s face to pillage her in pursuit of oil, zinc, and gold, while mainstream media feeds the empty recesses amongst masses to consume the packaging and contents of what is mined and sold.
One may argue a case of sustainable energy; however, it is more of reversed sustainability. Motivations and intentions are the fuel for our consciousness; cultivation and innovation raise consciousness to propel us along; while greed and lust for control create more toxic pollutants.
Hence, we have our mythic stories from Mr. Lucas and Mr. Spielberg. Art mimicking life, or is it the other way around? Really, I am serious. What about members of The Jedi, those of us non-muggles, and those of us as the masters and apprentices, to know and use The Force.
My generation is upcoming on their fourth eleven, and two decades ago, this point in time seemed so far away. What kind of world do we want to create along our part of journey? What will be our legacy? We are it, those of us in the Bridge Generation, born 1962 to 1969, (Pluto & Uranus conjunction for us all at varying degrees). We entered our lives knowing that landing on the moon was a given, that fax machines, cellphone conference calls, the internet, space travel, pure intention and raising consciousness are motivations to mobilise humankind. Consider that treachery is no longer required.
I know and recognise the fact we have advanced technologically and in ratio, so did our desire for holistic health, fitness, nature, and the ever present desire to meet Yoda & Han Solo on a planet ten million light years away. We seek outwardly. We move in a spiral, the Earth on her elliptic around the Sun, us along the winding path of our DNA’s evolution. The macrocosm and the microcosm.
Earth and Human. The Universe and the Milky Way.
Life as we dare to imagine it.
Now imagine what the world will look like if we take the knowledge acquired along humankind’s spiral ascent of consciousness and utilise the enlightening jolts we received along the way by adept leaders and manipulated machines.
Would advertising actually become educational? Would government actually be separate from the sacred pulpits of corporate boardrooms? Would the population of insightful leaders and knowledgeable consumers help shift the course of corporate bodies and structures?
What will the world look like when business and government are no longer co-dependent, only interdependent? Laws would need to change, those societal boundaries craftily written and overtaking a human’s ability to behave sensibly and just. The purpose of a civilisation is…
Can anyone write me a summary of key points in a paragraph?
Bytes of information, a constant barrage, and it’s changing twice as fast as we learn it.
What does this say about future capacities?
Till soon, W
