Are we collectively creating this reality?
I dare you to dream a different one... let's dive.
Being blown away on the beach by a crazy ass eastern wind, I feel it's time for a change.
And I dare you to dream with me. A change is gonna come, we all feel it, what we don't feel all the time, is that we are in control of it.
A few years back a talk I saw on IAM unconference from Monika Bielskyte, sparked something in me, which has been called "imagination activism" by @PhoebeTickell. She spoke powerful words:
Whoever owns the fantasy, controls the future - Monika Bielskyte
This was 2018, and since then I have a hard time watching new movies and series. A future seems to be painted for us to believe in. Most of movies and series showing the same scene: dark urban distopian societies. Apocalypse is the returning theme, and humans are always in conflict or suppressed in some way. underground living conditions, hiding.. Even the word Apocalypse is now associated with catastrophe, while in fact is means something else* .
The other day I went with the train, that passed by vast underground open spaces. And my daughter 9 years old thought it would be "so cool" to live out there.
I froze.
Are we collectively creating this reality?
In that case, maybe we would like to choose a different image of a different movie to live towards and believe in. We need to plant a new seed that can grow in our unconscious and flourish and be created.
So I am looking for stories, images and movies of hope, of a future we feel great about. Stories that are the base for dreams, and recognition of that gut feeling that we all have. And yes at this stage, especially at this stage we should not limit dreams. Dream like never before, dream in feelings and after the feeling go into the details that make up this feeling.
One story that I found is actually rooted in science, and has facts that inspire to dream. It is the work and experiences of Steven Greer *. He is most known for documenting proof and stories about UFO and alien encounters. But before I lost you here... bear with me. The side of the story that I want to highlight is not about aliens. It's about 2 core elements of his knowledge and experiences and personal life story that for me serve as a base and inspiration to dream another future scenario.
Steven Greer at the Joe Rogan Experience
The first core concept is Stevens explanation of how he connected and communicated with other worldy beings. And he explains in great detail. (in a Joe Rogan podcast) that through highly focussed mediation, direct energy communication channels are open. That his mind (and so everyone else's) was and is capable of high telepathic skills. There is no time and space, just focussed directed thought.
The second core concept is the proof of free unlimited energy. And I am not talking about solar panels or windturbines here. No, I am talking about mathematically calibrated energy devices that when started don't stop and provide unlimited energy. Much like (the scientist) Tesla invented 100 years ago. Many different corners of the world and many different hands have been building such devices. They are easy small non toxic and no batteries.
So there starts the seed of a dream. Another future scenario. And I dare you to imagine and paint a picture around the question:
"What would the world look like with free unlimited energy, and humans that can telepathically communicate with eachother. And beyond?"
That would change the 2 fundamental problems that we have been taught are key to all our pre-imagned futures.
Imagine: No oil, no coal, no solar, no wind, no monopoly. Energy is free and accessible to every single human. And the knowledge of how to generate free energy is known by each person on this planet.
And everybody would be able to communicate not through language barriers. But transmit our feelings and heart desires and love to eachother. What would that look like? If we are in control of our deep connections with eachother?
Nowadays these 2 problems are the root of everything. Wars are basically a fight over resources or bad communication and disconnect.
I could go on with what these fundamental changes could look like in my imagined world. But my world has many elements that are inspired by an amazing group of individuals and communities that are actively building the future that we see, today.
But guess what, so is everybody. We are consciously and unconsciously creating our future, every minute. And collectively we make it a reality.
So I will not paint you my picture. Paint yours, and share it! Because for changing reality it takes a lot of us to dream, imagine and act. But it all starts with believing in something.
William Wallace was just 1 man, but Scotland became free, because many believed they could be.
This post would not be complete without gathering examples of amazing stories and iniciatives that are inspiring for us to visualize our futures.
