No, I'd agree with some of it, like "We are all in this together," and "We grow and thrive at our own pace," and "We are all equal," but the general tone of it strikes me as mystic nonsense.

I'm not, in general, I'm attacking what strikes me as sloppy thinking rooted in a magical world view that has no basis in reality.
And maybe rigid thinking is what got the planet into this mess.

Rigidity? Maybe, but I strongly doubt it. Stupidity, ignorance, selfishness, short sightedness, and greed, offer much more plausible explanations for whatever mess you see.

All things that are very human.

I'd say the problem with the world is humans being humans.

Based on you're analyze of the situation.

If we could get all humans to stop acting like humans, that would solve many issues of this world.

Hm... I modified my post at the same time you were quoting it. Can't disagree with your point though. Foresight and clear critical thinking are not skills most people have. They're learned skills, not innate, and they're very hard to master.

What we need to do is use our human imperfections to our advantage. Accept our imperfections. Find ways to channel them positively.

You can't make humans stop being humans, But you can channel our imperfections in a positive direction, for the common good.

There is no doubt that we are in the middle of a spiritual revolution.
Perhaps not spiritual in a sense of ghosts and so but spirituality in a sense of really caring for each other
If you read the first five chapters of Oliver Twist (see reflection:Reflections by Hans: Reflection 120 (Twist)) you will see how fast the world is changing. Dickinson gives quite a realistic picture of how it was only 200 years ago. Compare with how it is now. No denying the world is improving extremely fast. All misery is nowadays magnified by the media. This does not take away that we are rapidly moving to a better world.

I would like to call it wisdom revolution rather than spiritual revolution

(Note:Oliver Twist is feely available to read on the internet)

A revolution in consciousness would be even better. Spiritual seems to mean a lot of different things to different people. Mine is probably way out there compared to most.

Turn down the data input volume by 10% until stable then pop it into hyper until desired input is achieved and then back off by 10%. Happy sailing.

Are you saying I'm overwhelming my potential audience?

Or perhaps that your input is interfering with your output, stifling your flashes in the pan.

Yes that sourds like something I'd do.

It's time consuming reading and understanding what others are saying
