CSM: Ideas For A Better World In 2011

I thought you might enjoy this article from The Christian Science Monitor. Don't sneer. The CSM has a reputation for it's high standard of journalistic excellence.

Some of these ideas are interesting, others are just stooo-pid, like the need to eliminate "doping" in professional sports. Really? I never knew that stopping athletes from taking drugs was going to make the world a better place. I'm sure my life would be changed immeasurably. (More like UN-measurably, if that was a word.)

Still, an idea that purports to be something good for the world deserves to be heard regardless of my personal feelings. I hope you discover an idea that inspires you. Click on the title.

2012: A Time For Change

A few months ago, when I was still in Seattle, I saw a movie by Daniel Pinchbeck called "2012: A Time For Change" which introduced a sliver of hope into my life regarding the evolution of human consciousness and the future of the Earth. This isn't a movie that will be readily accepted by the mainstream masses because he promotes many things that are currently rejected wholesale by our culture. However, if you know where he is coming from, it's a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend seeing this if it comes to your town.

Daniel has his own blog. You can get there by following the link in his name. There is also the website called "Evolver", which may interest you. "Evolver" is more about connecting people that have these similar interests in alternative energy, environmentalism, shamanism, and many, many more subjects. It may sound like a mish-mash but I guarantee that these movements have more in common than even most of their followers may realize.
