The materialist worldview which dominated 20th century western culture isn’t fit for purpose in the 21st.
If we’re being honest many changes we would have considered impossible a month ago have already occurred.
Thanks to the Web our brains are tuning in to a universal field of consciousness, rather than generating a separate personal awareness for each one of us.
Materialist, separation thinking has been obscuring the reality that everything and everyone is connected to everything and everyone else, and we’re all meshed into one whole human organism, all of us connected into all life on our planet.
Our view of reality or worldview, shaped as it is by our preconceptions and assumptions, provides a largely unconscious prism through which we see the world.
Take the need to tackle Climate Change.
We won’t vote for politicians who offer to rapidly de-carbonize our economies, unless we’ve moved on from our us-and-them separation thinking, and begun to see the whole planet as a small place requiring all of us to act together.
Fundamental change in our materialist worldview of separation from each other and the world isn’t only possible, it’s essential if we’re to really slow down global warming and the rapid rise in global sea levels and emergence of lethal wild-fires associated with temperature rise.
We may be caught up in seeing the world through the lens of what we’re used to, our usual and conventional construction of reality, our worldview, but the current global crisis is showing us how fast we can change all this when we need to.
I will start this post by encouraging us to begin the process of letting go of a conventional worldview that we inherit from the past and haven’t yet updated.
From the fundamental and undeniable truth that we’re all going to die, which means that our time, energy and attention on this earth is limited and the burden of spending that time, energy and attention is solely on you and no one else.

Where are we?
Look at the world we are in now.
A Donald Trump world where scandal is no longer a scandal is high light by then list of names connected to the EPSTEIN is mind boggling.
It begs the question just what is the nature of the world we live in.
A world cow-tailing to the rich.
Politics is now ( with the revelation of the Epstine files) a very murky game, as it has always been.
At the centre of this world is that we are now we are being hood winked by a network of influencers who are looked upon as the privileged minority with faceless platforms and algorithms manipulating governments financial markets, as victimised predators.
As we transform from an organic species to half human half Artificial Intelligence the need for accountability is now more than ever needed to ensure that not just power, wealth etc is not used for personal gain, ( that everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. ) or the accumulation of corporate profits are transparent.
We left with the question as to how we protect.
Political, parties. leaders, politicians should not be able to accept any gifts no matter what size they are or what form they take. Whether they are offered by individuals of wealth or power.
We cannot let what is left of Democracy drown in money.
Take the financing of REFORM the new party in the uk. The list of donors is an eye opener. ( see below)
Every thing we have seen in the last week clearly shows that money is as it always does corrupt democracy, with a two – tier justice.
I think it’s pretty clear that Political parties should not be funded by the wealthy but by fixed contributions from the tax payers.
Reduce the number of MP’s at the same time increase their salary to counter the temptation to corrupt practices.
Combing this to regulate rules within government, barring any serving politician on leaving government been able to take up a job for three years without government approval.
While the media comment on the latest provocation, fundamental policy measures go unnoticed.
While the opposition exhausts itself reacting to the scandal of the day,
This constant acceleration prevents coherent and organized responses. The time for democratic debate – for reflection, argument, compromise – is thus short-circuited by the immediacy of emotional shock.
All human comments appreciate. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
