IcerocketDuring, or after, your reading of the link below - if you read it - I think it would be useful to consider where one sees one's self in the essay, as well as where one does not see one's self in it.
It's all right here, right now, if you choose to see it. Where does the new paradigm begin? In me. Or in you. Maybe someone else. I think it is erroneous to say it is not. People live free, or they do not. Whether or not any individual is truly free, only the individual can say. We can stand detached and observe and say, 'freedom doesn't look like this or that.' But if it is true, it is only true from the perspective of the one saying it.
What we can all observe is that someone else will have a different perception.
Personally, I feel that is a 'good' thing. It validates every One.
On the off-chance you feel like doing some thing for me, as an individual, think on these things:

...great link - reasons with me at the moment - but where do I see myself - I am not yet sure! I need the kick up the backside - things like this do it step by step for me!

It just seemed very nicely expressed - the urgency, as well as the ease, in which such a change in our world could be implemented.
Peace,

Yet whatever it becomes has not manifested yet. 'It' is up to us. I've been feeling it for quite some time now. My sense of urgency moves me to connect with my neighbors. I feel that the better we can connect as complete beings with our neighbors and all the so-called others, the less and less likely the default vision of armed conflict becomes. Evolver, Transition Towns, community volunteerism, and hosts of new connecting frameworks appropriate to every niche are casting a web of real-life over entrenched illusions in real-time. By awakening en masse to the meaning of archaic truths like "We are all connected," the collective reality matrix is changing, also in realtime. We are so much more powerful than we have been led to believe! Therein lies my hope and the basis of my actions anyway. I guess you could call me a love or die optimist. The other day I picked the following quote out of my datastream because it was so shiny:
“Apocalyptic scenarios of either a devastated planet or an authoritarian world government both disintegrate in the face of neighbors growing food for
one another.”

Thanks Steve, Hello ck! "Urgency and ease," I like that.
