Lack of concentration and wildly galloping mind is reaping a grim harvest just like Black Death in the Middle Ages. Now the main casualties of being busy are feeling of sufficiency and purpose, and truly creative innovations.

There’s a climate crisis and mass extinction of species going on. This time not caused by a meteorite from space, but by ourselves.

Could it be our short-sightedness, tunnelvision of the savannah monkey, hunter-gatherer’s instinctive greed that are blinding us to the extent that we shop ourselves to death?

We have to rise above ourselves, adopt a broader view, transform into universal sentient beings.

What was born after the Middle Ages and the plague? Renaissance, the breakthrough of art and science, and a New Age – that in turn must now give way to the next Renaissance. Are we ready for that?

Coaching Corner:

  • (reflect alone) What kind of a Renaissance or inner breakthrough do you want for yourself?
  • (start dialogue) Whom do you want to invite to join the movement?
