Blue Green Cards, part 1: What Are We To Do?
How to be you in time?
The old myths are being retired. The actors gone, there’s only you and me. Before we grow too young, we can find ourselves and find the others, divesting from old, obsolete narratives. Once there, we can story.
Nature:
- Hi, I’m Covid-19!
Humanity:
- Oh noes, our economy!
Blue Green Cards and Paths Made By Joint Sauntering
What are we to do, how can we learn how to be you in time, now that everything have changed?
How can we design for f2f and digital conversations that mind and matter, at scope, sensemaking, behavioral change and societal innovation scale?
Old Paradigm: Oligarch Hellscape
Corporate Socialism, the old obsolete paradigm, now being replaced, is very efficient. Except when it is not.
New Paradigm: To Be Enacted
The new paradigm arrived with the Corona Event.
Covid-19 is helping us with understanding.
In a network, we play to win^n and move from efficiency to resilience.
Are we learning?
Are we redesigning our systems?
Thinks and Things that Mind and Matter
A call to fundamentally shift the way we understand ourselves, our circles, communities and societies, and how our innate value can be characterized, extended, networked, turned into work, play and practice and how thinks and things that matter can be rediscovered, developed and distributed.
New Myths For Our 21C Transition
Story? Yes, we are to story ourselves alive. New myths are constellated, deep inside the beautiful core of our souls. The New Paradigm have sounded a planetwide call:
We made it? What happened? We happened.
We are human seeds, sprouting forth. Throughout history, this is how we happen ourselves human, again and again:
“…there is found a third level of religious experience, even if it is seldom found in a pure form.
I will call it the cosmic religious sense.
This is hard to make clear to those who do not experience it, since it does not involve an anthropomorphic idea of God; the individual feels the vanity of human desires and aims, and the nobility and marvelous order which are revealed in nature and in the world of thought.
He feels the individual destiny as an imprisonment and seeks to experience the totality of existence as a unity full of significance.
Indications of this cosmic religious sense can be found even on earlier levels of development — for example, in the Psalms of David and in the Prophets.
The cosmic element is much stronger in Buddhism, as, in particular, Schopenhauer’s magnificent essays have shown us.
The religious geniuses of all times have been distinguished by this cosmic religious sense, which recognizes neither dogmas nor God made in man’s image.
Consequently there cannot be a church whose chief doctrines are based on the cosmic religious experience.
It comes about, therefore, that we find precisely among the heretics of all ages men who were inspired by this highest religious experience; often they appeared to their contemporaries as atheists, but sometimes also as saints.”
— Albert Einstein
To all of us who are feeling called to proactively respond, anticipating a future where we will be way more resilient and way better able to address Covid-23.
Or whatever profound gifts we will rekindle inside ourselves and in our local communities and how we can cultivate a new sense of community, culture and society, as we rediscover and homestead our Human Garden, on this here Blue Green Corner of the Universe.
A call to fundamentally shift the way we understand ourselves, our circles, communities and societies, and how our innate value can be characterized, extended, networked, turned into work, play and practice and how thinks and things that matter can be rediscovered, developed and distributed.
