The collective primitive ego-consciousness of humanity has created the fragile and dangerous civil, social, and economic structures that now threaten the future of human civilization. The collapse of those structures are all but certain in the future, and the creation of self-reliant local communities and local economies is the best option for the viable long-term survival of our younger generations.
We Need Self-reliant Communities Now
Waiting is Not an Option
The world is changing in significant ways. The future isn’t what it used to be. Life-altering changes are coming to our world. What will it mean to live the “good life” in the world that is coming? The “good life” will require all of us to focus on simplicity, sustainability, and developing clarity on what is really important in our lives: health, clean water, warmth, food, safety, community, acceptance, belonging, love, and embracing a deep sense of purpose, meaning, and wellbeing. What is truly important to us as we work to create the sustainable new world we need? These questions will require all of us to think carefully about what we need to let go of, and even more importantly what we need to keep.
