We have been on an interesting journey the past 100 years. If you think of it, we progressed from horse and cart to space travel, and now looking at holiday destinations on Mars. What an incredible journey.
We have seen the pace of advancement increase exponentially in all areas, with life expectancy now set at 200.
The entrepreneurs making headlines are more pioneers of science than the traditional inventors. We have set our sights off planet, organized our lives to be virtual, arranged our convenience to come to us and deployed our technology such that we don’t have to have direct contact with each other.
We embrace new technology that can make us more efficient and can take our exponential growth to quantum growth. We have Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, Digitization and Machine Learning. We are truly galactic beings. Hence technology that can replace us, think for us and make choices for us. Helping us to be less us.
And then “disaster” struck – a virus strain become hostile and started killing. And its biggest killing spree has not been the 500 000 odd lives lost since it was acknowledged – it has been the killer of Humanness – the social being becoming isolated, the “god” living in fear. It resulted in global Human SEPARATION within weeks. A phenomenon never ever seen on such a global scale.
And we REACT…
Our greatest enemy comes to the fore – FEAR. We hide, we reduce contact with others (including family and friends), we spray everything with alcohol, we don’t trust anyone and if a friend sneeze we isolate them / separate ourselves from them / let them suffer alone. We embrace the technology that is designed to keep us separated, we grab onto solutions that will save only us, we promote services that support separation, we feel safe in being alone.
What if…
What if we are the designers of this new killer? What if we wanted this “slow down” / “stop” / “take a breather” to occur? What if in our collective thoughts we always wanted this? What if this is us doing it to ourselves? What if …?
Or are we looking at this from the back and not the front?
What if we need this separation in order to reset? What if this is our time to be still, stop the rat race, go within? What if this is our time to look at what is important and what does not serve? What if this is our time to be the pioneers? What if this is a time of planetary reset?
What if Mother Gaia (mother Earth) just wanted to breath, see the sun, have some quiet time, sigh a sigh of relieve? What if the universe is saying – stop, think, re-inspect (respect) who you are and who you are as humans?
What if this is our “snooze-button” to take the 8 minutes before getting up and embracing the new morning? – as Cat Stevens starts “Morning has broken, like the first morning …” and then he ends “… Praise every morning, G-Ds recreation of the new day”
What if we have been looking at this with our old eyes? We still try to use our same old methods, hang on to our believes and ways of working. We still punt what sold yesterday and try and rebrand it to sell today and tomorrow.
What if we cannot continue as we have done? Everyone talks of the new beginning / the new world / bringing Shambala / … What if this is it? What if the time is now?
Are we ready? Are we brave enough to take it on? Are we ready to step into our accountability and responsibility that G-D gave us when we were created – Genesis 1:26 “GOD said, let Us (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) make mankind in Our image, after Our Likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts, and over all of the creeps upon the earth”
Are you ready?
Are you ready to wake up, stand up and really act as the responsible human, tasked to take care of ourselves, others and everything this earth offers and have to offer?
Are you willing to think, act and love differently?
What if this is your chance to remember who you are, what you are, where you come from, where you are going and what your purpose is?
What if …?
