Einstein was right. We cannot solve the problems of today out of the same level of consciousness that created them.
Over these past years the crises facing the planet have intensified, but the economic and political structures that have served to address them since WWII are increasingly ineffective. Just when we need to be creative and imagine new policies and structures, we are locked into a growing polarization fueled by partisan politics. At a time when our thinking needs to be long term and interconnected we operate out of short term electoral politics and a 24/7 news cycle.
What’s really needed is a new kind of consciousness that can hold greater complexity and paradox, one that sees and acts from our interconnectedness and understands that truth is shared among many different worldviews, a consciousness that works to move forward by creating synergy and generating new options for our shared future.
