Louis Michael: Getting the right balance
In this current world we are forced to focus on our own worlds. Our family, our friends, our job, our life becomes our focus, and anything outside of our immediate world is put at a distance. This means that working on projects for the betterment of humanity both locally and globally is far more difficult because mobilising and collaborating is limited to a small familiar circle. But as creatures capable of collaboration our collective power is an overwhelming force. We have the ability to alter the reality of the entire globe if properly coordinated. Humans are responsible for the entire modern technological world as we know it today. If we redirect that power into more ethical, sustainable, and ecologically integrated innovations we can redesign the world with ingenious technologies that work with our planet and our best interest rather than against it.
The key is to unify the mental consciousness of all of humanity. Until we are unified as one collective body we will be unable to bring proper harmony to our entire planet. Humans must return to the balance of the natural and spiritual world and realign itself with nature. One part of this is recognising ourselves as humans and earthlings. We have forgotten a time before nationality, gender, sexuality, and the cruel irony is that we are consumed by identification in an age of identity crisis and we wonder why that is without realising that it is simply because we are divided rather than unified as a whole.
The beginning of the agricultural revolution took humanity away from the heart of nature and we stopped being able to hear the song of Mother Earth and the universe. But we are beginning to hear again. The signs are everywhere: the dramatic rise in veganism and the resistance against mass animal genocide, the explosion of attention to new age spirituality, the incredibly exciting new union of science and spirituality occurring in countless overlapping fields of studying. Humanity has been astray in a deep and intense stretch of apathy and invention, now we return to our true selves, empathy and intuition.
