I learned in college psychology class that to have change you need two things:
—to DESIRE to change
—to see the place you desire to change to
The conditions are in place. We ALL desire change soo badly. Thank you, Summer, for showing the place and shape we all desire to change to. You have laid out my own personal vision; may we reach that place together! (See Gary Snyder’s classic poem For The Children).
I’m reading Joan Halifax’s excellent old The Fruitful Darkness again right now. We may have to traverse the valley of darkness to get to that place, but get there WE WILL. And we will be stronger for it, united together, and will build what you have laid out. Thanks so much! 🙏🏼
Man, I hope so! I know many religions write about this valley of shadow, en route to enlightenment. The mystics and astrologists and even Daniel Pinchbeck says we're on our way...! but the growing pains sure hurt!
I can't help but take note that your notions could all be implemented in the United States if a slightly improved version of the Equal Rights Amendment was ratified ... something like "Congress shall make no law concerning gender." It also sounds like Jefferson's notion of freedom in full bloom - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Another excellent visionary who laid out deep, inclusive plans for restructuring society, way back in the late 80s and 90s, was Father Thomas Berry. See The Dream of the Earth and The Great Work: Our Way into the Future. Superb, early deep visions for Earth.

Hurt they do… I’m 69 and wondering if I’ll EVER grow up!

Utopia indeed...could we just make that leap? Kind of a indigo, retrograde revelation revolution...
Can we harness quantum physics and just portal there and skip the whole valley of darkness thing? lol
I'm in!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Marjie! xo
Beautiful wishes. Positive goals. xx
Yes! Thanks as always, Annie!
