ideas.

We teach. We paint. We act. We

become public speakers. We make

movies. We sculpt. We make music.

We write books, we write blogs, and

we write manifestos.

We create art that awakens the mind,

moves the heart, and stirs the soul.

In today’s world, anyone can

be famous! Anyone can create

something great that moves

millions of people. Take a book, for

instance. How long would it take

you to write 400 words? (That’s

about one page of this manifesto.)

Maybe an hour for a first draft?

Then do that a hundred times and

you have 40,000 words - the first

draft of your first novel. If you spent

just one hour a day working on your

book, you could be finished with

the first draft in three and a half

months, edit it for a few months,

then self-publish using print-ondemand

technology. You could

write, edit, and publish your book in

less than a year from today!

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
