Narratives

Once we recognize the power of the current narrative in our life, we can begin to liberate ourselves from it. We begin to see that this was never us at our core. We witness much of what is going on around us as a form of insanity. As individuals, we are not war-like. As individuals, we know that living in harmony with the environment is well within our means. As conscious beings, we do not want others to live in misery. So, why would this be our collective experience?

The story that has unfolded over the past five or six thousand years is now drawing to a close. It has consumed everything in its path. If we are to survive, we need to consciously create a new one. Our time is limited and there are priorities that will have to be addressed immediately as we are transitioning to a new global perspective. We will begin this process very shortly.

But first, there is building to do. The new world will have four pillars that will provide a strong foundation to create this global framework.

What if there was one principle, one policy that in and of itself eradicated poverty all over the world? What is this same policy insured that everyone whose livelihood was in an industry that was no longer tenable…oil and gas, coal, certain mining industries, all those participating in the military industrial complex…were guaranteed a living wage as they and we all transition to a new concept of work and right livelihood? What if this same policy guaranteed everyone on the globe the right to pursue work that they have always wanted to do – art, music, dance, writing – without any need to be concerned about whether it paid sufficiently or not? What if one policy held the promise of never requiring that a person go through the humiliating experience of being supported by the state? What if one policy eliminated the need for the global aid industry?

Too good to be true? Not at all. The first pillar is called “The Gaia Principle”.
