A call for evolution

“Crises are harbingers of evolution.” – Bruce Lipton

Whether it is at an individual or collective level, experience has taught us that challenges are always great opportunities to evolve, and the bigger is the challenge, the bigger is the potential for evolution. Therefore, we can take the global crisis that we are facing as a great opportunity to look at the dysfunctional part of our society and culture and therefore at ourselves and our way of thinking. Since it is very likely that we will face resistance both inside and outside ourselves while doing this introspective task, it is also really important to identify what is holding us back, by looking at the roots of the primitive and compulsive behaviors that are taking us slowly and inexorably toward self-destruction.

We can put serious concern on the rationality of an intelligent species that would self-destruct as a result of its inability to transform itself and the society that it has created. A society that seems to have been built with parameters disconnected from reality, based on capital as a means to achieve position of dominance, control over people and ownership of resources.

Taking a step and looking at it from a wider perspective, this dramatic scenario condemning ourselves to create a global catastrophic future and potentially self-destruct out of irrationality is a grace given opportunity for a collective evolution of consciousness, intelligence and reason. In fact, this could be the best reason to start to learn to use our power to collectively co-create our future. But before we jump into this, we would look at the type of futures we could be heading toward based on our individual and collective choices.
