Thanks for sharing Sahana. I wonder though if we -- i.e. humans -- are the problem (see the The Last Messiah by the late Peter Zapffe https://philosophynow.org/issues/45/The_Last_Messiah). As to the raising of consciousness, I'd be interested in what that looks like for all 7.8 billion people. What then? We'll still need to consume etc. Take care, Julian
I don't know Julian. Honestly, what does raising the consciousness of 7.8 billion look like? Will it ever happen? Very unlikely. What I do believe though is that with enough people holding the space for a different narrative to emerge, a shift will happen. The current civilizational trajectory was decided by a handful of men, and it took the world along. For decades. Centuries actually.
