In the context of Human Communications protocol ; and factoring in the HUMAN SETTLEMENT ISSUES that are to be probed very carefully ; what emerges is the questions that everyone — young and old — needs to ask !!!
The question that one Author asked very clearly . His name Richard Florida. And in the Book that asked WHO IS MY CITY ? .. touched on the question of WHO IS MY COMMUNITY …? , WHO IS MY FAMILLY ? ( Who is my Brother and Sister )… And realizing the ever shrinking World , as what one Canadian Communications oriented scholar identified as THE GLOBAL VILLAGE , and the ELECTRIC TRIBE , that he ( Marshall McLuhan ) could see us becoming ; tells me that in the search for our Humanity and the very SPIRIT of it all , tells me , as I was saying ,that we but need to gather our feelings and thinking into what can only be called a consolidation of not only past wisdom and knowledge ; but also capture the swirling current of transformation , of change all around us ; leading to what one other Author spoke of being THE FUTURE SHOCK !!!!
Which I believe this particular Article describes very clearly , as He hits the nail right on the head ….. swirling in his descriptions and riding the Current of time and mind . ( reflecting and describing what effects this particular ride is having on his creative soul … and our collective Soul as well ) being very brave in exposing the vulnerable state of it all ; as well as showing the way to deal with this TRANSFORMATIVE VISIONING EXPERIENCE….
Thank you for sharing your deepest probe of the collective psyche of the TRIBE OF LIGHT … ( TRIBE OF LIFE also ) ; needing for us all to pick up on where this current leads , so as to Ride the wave ….. Surfing is what it was called in it’s first incarnation ; for indeed , INFORMATION and COMMUNICATIONS itself , defining the NEWOLD* dynamics and dimentions that will provide the ROADMAP , for the next centuries to come….. as we once again fully realize the very LIMITS of every TOOL we’ve ever engineered , fabricated and in E technology parlance , TOOLS that have made us blind in so many ways to the NATURAL WORLD all around us , that clearly can show us the way out of this impasse that you describe…
And is why the NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN brings to all of us , the very SPIRIT of EXPLORATION and DISCOVERY of the NATURAL KNOWLEDGE ; THAT IS SO NEEDED !!!!
LET US LISTEN TO WHAT NATURE HAS TO SAY ABOUT ALL OF THIS …
AND SLOW DOWN TO THE SPEED OF LIFE , ( AND LIGHT ) … WE ARE MADE OF BOTH …
