As we look upon the desolation in the world created by cars, trucks, cement, ballistic missiles, and minds that are bent on control and domination, can we see the same desolation in ourselves?
What are the stories we tell ourselves that create this? Don't say, "Well the corporations have us believing in this story, or that story." No, they may tell you to believe it, but you don't have to. How do you challenge it? How can you be part of the creation of a story that will re-enliven the Earth?
Can we tell a new story of love in which we embrace each other in the birth of a new world? Not a new world in the sense of Bush's "New World Order". Nor, on the other hand, the magical kingdom where all is sweetness, love, and light of the new-agers. A vibrant, living world with all the challenges and losses that help us to grow spiritually. Not one ruled by the "undead" vampires of the corporate and government worlds.
In line with this vision, Envision This! Radio has begun a campaign for us to be seminal to change. Indeed, the show on 12/19/2012 has four people creating a story set in the year 2062. The story was jointly authored in round-robin fashion, with each participant picking up where the last one left off and weaving his or her own creative threads and insights into the emergent story. It wasn't a story created by one person, or by all the men, but of all the participants. (In Nature we would be creating the story with everything else. Tribal religions were extremely good at this). The storytellers had different voices that related to and shaped the emerging plot, characters, and themes in a distinctive way. However--through the principles and cooperation involved in co-creation--a story emerged that speaks with the Voice of Wisdom.
The radio show is planning on doing more of these kinds of broadcasts in order to entice people to begin envisioning a different way of living on this planet. If we can imagine a future that is vital, utilizes all our talents and insights, sustains us and our Earth, and is resilient to all changes, then we will be energized to work toward such a future. In this fashion, ultimately, history and herstory will make way to ourstory. And, ourstory will be inclusive of all of Nature, including all creatures, planetary, solar, and cosmic processes.
Dare we all join hands and make a change? We don't have to be dependent upon the "powers-that-be" to create our story. (Lisa Vunk, one of the storytellers, calls them the "powers-that-were"; we can call ourselves the "powers-becoming!") If we allow authority to rest in the hands of the masters of the military-industrial complex, we will continue to live in the chains of history and will be denied ourstory. It is only by re-framing ourselves in a different story that we can tap into our own creativity and develop our own cultures while supporting ourselves in relationship to the rest of the peoples, cultures, creatures, and features of this beautiful blue and green planet, Earth.
