Humanity Grows Wise

Humanity is changing. Actually, humanity is evolving to become something far more wise, kind and honourable than we have ever been. We can do this. We are, in fact, doing this now.

Because of our internet technology, we are becoming more and more aware of ourselves as a global community. We are becoming therefore, more politically aware and more compassionate.

We have integrated the wisdom traditions of people all over the world, from the Eastern philosophies and religions to the paradigm of the native peoples of the Americas. We have integrated the wisdom of the indigenous peoples of Africa and the Australian continent as well.

We are evolving our ability to hold two opposing viewpoints at the same time. We are literally growing our brains, beginning to use the front of our brains as never before. See the work of Joseph Chilton Pearce for more information about this.

We have an ever-growing environmental awareness, which sometimes causes us to feel distress at the state of our world's environment and biological systems, ecological systems today. The same is true of our growing awareness of animal rights. We are exploring right action on a global scale. We are deciding together, as a collective human society, what kind of world we choose to live in.

This is tied irrevocably to the growing understanding among us that we make the world, and that we are the agents of change that we have been looking for. Thus do we develop our sense of stewardship and responsibility.

We have the Declaration of Human Rights. We have a global anti-war movement. And in fact, we have less war in the world now than at any time in the past 1000 years or more. This is something to think about profoundly as we move through our days now.

We've never before been who and what and how we are now. This time is unprecedented. So breathe deeply, and as you breathe, cast away from yourself all of your pre-conceived notions of what we are as a world and of what we are capable. The image of our planet seen from space totally changed us and we have continued to change and will continue to change since then.

People say that the world is in crisis. Crisis is both danger and opportunity. In many ways, we are a world in crisis, surrounded by danger, surrounded by opportunity. And this is global. For the first time in human history, we can and MUST do this together. And we are together now, through the internet, through technology, we are together.

We are continuously deepening our awareness, our knowledge and our consciousness. Our awareness has been broadened WAY beyond the awareness of people thirty or forty years ago. Most of our problems - political and environmental - originated in the late 1700's and through the 1800's. We don't think that way anymore. We can and will transcend those problems. Racism, religious intolerance, competition for resources, exploitation of lands and peoples. We are doing this now, albeit slowly and beginning here and there. This change in our world is happening daily now.

We are, individually, becoming wise in our personal choices, wise in our communal lives, open-minded, tolerant of differences, non-judgmental. We are becoming wise in our development of political structures that truly serve our highest selves. We move from the small to the large and we do this organically and through our emerging wisdom. All that we envision for our planet will come as we realize our ability to make this world as we will have it be.

Everywhere I look, all over the internet, all over the planet, in all the hearts and minds, I see humanity grow wise.

And thus do we change the world and create it anew.
