A Revolution of
Ideas
When you hear the word
“revolution”, what do you
think
of? Something bloody and
violent? People standing
on
soapboxes and screaming at
a
crowd? A line of angry
people
with picket signs?
That’s not the kind of
revolution
we’re creating. We’re
creating a
revolution of ideas.
The Connection Revolution
isn’t
like the American
Revolution
or the French Revolution.
The
Connection Revolution is
like
the Industrial Revolution,
like the
Renaissance.
No guns.
No violent uprisings.
No protest rallies.
No bullshit.
Just ideas. World-changing ideas.
It has happened before,
and
it can happen again. Think
about the Renaissance.
When
the Renaissance swept
Europe
and then the world, was
there
a violent uprising? Were
any
governments overthrown?
Were any anti-art monarchs
assassinated? No. The
creation
and transmission of
revolutionary
ideas fueled the
revolution. The
ideas swept through the
dominant
paradigm, causing changes
that
continue to ripple through
our
lives.
A revolution of ideas has
two
steps: practice and share.
A world in which everyone talks
about connection but
doesn’t
practice connection doesn’t sound
like a great world to be
in, does it?
So let’s put it into
practice:
Connect with yourself,
connect
with others, connect with
the
world, connect with
Spirit
