Spiritual (R)evolution
Acceleration is accelerating which means more people than ever are unable to keep up. With anything.
Take technology, one of the top things people are unable to keep up with. You could spend all your waking hours frantically keeping up with today’s latest technology, and when you were finished, it would already be obsolete. So that’s a waste of time.
News occurs at Twitter pace now—the new life span of a news cycle—but by the time you’ve caught up with all the Twittering, a trillion other news cycles have come and gone and technology has advanced so much that Twitter is obsolete.
It’s too hard to keep up with outside things. What we all need to do is accelerate from within. There is infinite space and time in the present moment. You can never have enough from the outside. You’d have to eat the world. Rush Limbaugh already tried that.
The massive crisis we are in is exactly what we need. Ultimately, hopefully, it will be our great strict teacher. The next revolution will not technological but spiritual. Our president gets that. As much as he has taken on—economy, war, health care, education—he has also taken on the task of trying to make us more enlightened human beings in general. That’s where humanity is ultimately headed and circumstances will become as challenging as they need to be in order for us to morph to the next level.
The way to work though this crisis is from the inside out; if humanity can become more human, it will create all sorts of abundance.
