Tokyo: "In order to create the future we must have the power of visualization and be able to dream and imagine everything possible" for humanity on planet Earth. Given a beautiful jewel, a very rare form of manifestation of abundance in any possible form and shape from plant life, animal life to human life. The power of creation is there and given to all of us and we can play an active part in transforming our existence into something magnificent.
How Would Life Look in an Ideal Future?
What would a typical day be like for an individual human being in the future? Here are some key aspects:
- Harmony between nature and human habitats.
- United humanity without nations and borders.
- Abundance of knowledge.
- Away from a transaction-based society to a collaborative and sharing society.
- Infinite mobility.
The Present: A Chaos and Fear-Based Society
Territorial thinking dominates the world today, with humans living in competition with each other. Instead of collaboration, abundantly available resources are regulated by an economic system that artificially enforces scarcity. We are divided by different belief systems, religions, perceptions of status, and many other artificial borders. We create identities that seem impossible to disrupt, given these structures have been propelled for hundreds and thousands of years. Will we forever stay in our limited ecosystem, or will we someday manage to fly off and create something new and meaningful?
The Power of Dreams
What if every single human being has a completely different imagination about this future of "tomorrow's reality"? What if these billions of dreams are not only different but also competing and extremely contradictory to each other? What if dreams could be formulated in a more powerful way to unite the collective consciousness of the "human colossus"?
The present state of our planet and humanity is still on a level of extreme dissonance and disharmony, leading to disconnectedness, conflict, and sometimes war. Opposing streams in human history, depending on geographical area and other factors such as cultural implications called "religion," agriculture, development of technology, and contrasting self-perceptions between races, have led to a very scattered and disconnected age that humanity has repeatedly entered over time.
Can This Be Healed?
How can this finally be healed? Can it ever be healed? And can there be more unity? In this paper, I want to take you, dear reader, on a journey that has the potential to shift your beliefs and make you feel the options of a possible "Connected Future," a transition into an age of a united planet and united "human colossus." Create the collective consciousness for realizing this transition and instigating it.
The Transition: The Shift
Healing the gaps is what happens when dissonance becomes harmony, when disconnectedness is replaced by common understanding and common goals. If ideas are the spark to light a fire that can become a huge destructive and creative force, then how would these ideas be transported into the remote corners of this world? Into the sickest and most twisted brains on this planet?
Connectivity needs a medium. It has been available since the 1980s and is called the "Internet." We are using it in ever more colorful and multiple facets and forms of expression. Since the age of social media has arrived, the individual is empowered to communicate to the crowds. Depending on the availability of technical skills and the power and uniqueness of the idea that this individual possesses, the degree of penetration into the media landscapes of the future would be determined. In fact, narratives and stories with a strong identity and a clearer vision might be more capable of setting off on a viral journey through the depth of the internet jungle and infest human brains in the most remote areas of this globe.
Have we then a narrative or a design so powerful that it can blend into a mutual vision for a united planet and humanity? Can the utmost gaps be bridged and can dissonance be replaced by harmony and peace? Can we finally face all the grand challenges of humanity together and start the creation of a beautiful new age?
Where Is Such a Story to Find?
Where are the dreams embedded into the fabrics of mankind? Who has the means and the power to communicate and transcend into the spaces with visions and dreams for a new world? Here are some possible answers: Artists who paint pictures of a mysterious unknown world unlock powers of imagination. Scientists who endeavor into never-before-uncovered realms and unleash academic controversy. Authors who write stories of a world that does not exist. Architects and designers who create new shapes and forms that serve as transformation of inspirational pieces and bits into a unity. The chef who prepares and composes delicious meals. The musician who transcends spaces with pounding and harmonious vibrations of sound. All those people are creators. The Creators.
The future is created by creators. By the brave. The courageous people who have no fear of making a difference. The ones who do not believe in stale systems but solve the same problems with a way of thinking that never existed before. The ones who think out of the box and make any step beyond the realities of the average school of thought. The ones who might go to prison for fighting for their new school of thoughts.
Planting the Seeds
The Creators, the change-makers, will be instrumental in planting seeds in different areas of the world. These plants will be sparks, and a spark can light a fire so strong that it will spread around and take everything and everybody within. What message can this be? What can be the common traits of these creators? How can they heal the disconnect we have in our modern world today?
Planting seeds will transform them into green seedlings. There have to be messengers who carry these seeds which they will plant into the soil, and the soil needs to nurture the growth and development of these seeds into healthy and beautiful plant life. In our modern world reality, these seeds can have many different facets and manifestations. It can be a new creation such as a new technology, a new painting, a poem, a discussion with friends, or the visit of a museum.
The common point: discovery and opening up of new horizons. Some things we have not understood before become clear to us. Some dark spots we had never touched become lit up. What will be these messages and how can they call us to act? How can these seeds grow healthy and become green instead of just rotting and deceasing? How can the waves be kept rolling, how can they not fall down and subside?
The Creators will guide us and will be the seeds in the different areas of this world. They will set out to plant seeds into the brains and souls of millions and billions of people to create a new awareness that will lead to a planetary culture, a united humanity, and a united planet.
This is exactly the reason and our mission with the Purpose Driven Innovation Ecosystem. Everything done for a greater Purpose will fuel the passion and the energy of the masses. Now, this purpose must not be a cruel force, a brutal energy of destruction. It must be a set of human values with Love and Compassion at its very core. Everything must be driven by a Purpose filled with Love and Compassion, and then it will nurture and spread around. People who work for love and life and purpose will not be easily distracted and are very powerful in taking all the others around them with them on the journey.
Imagine: A Day of Mr. X in a Not So Distant Future
This is your day, Mr. X — your day that you can live and thrive. Abundance is there for you. No limits anymore for whatever you could imagine. Space travel, time travel, mobility without boundaries, endless choices of realities, and pure connectedness. Be connected with everybody in the world anytime and choose the happiness for you that you deserve.
In the future, anything will be possible. There are no nation states anymore, there is no currency to pay for something, as anything you ever desired would be there for you and materialize out of your imagination. There will be no conflict anymore, as anybody would have the keys to everything. The only limits would be your own imagination, your own fantasies.
There will be no diseases, no suffering. Mr. X has an optimized body, and it can be augmented with technology and plugged into the collective consciousness of the CLOUD. In a not so far distant past, a group of brave humans had set the underlying Human Values which have preserved the human being in its original shape. However, the Human Values have left open the possibility for augmentation with technology. There are human beings who chose not to augment, and there are retro retreats in which people will get rid of any technological means in order to feel the ancient form of being human.
Mr. X, what do you want to do today? Visit another galaxy? Meet your beautiful friends in a Virtual Reality scenario to participate in a battlefield during the 30 years war in Europe? Indulge in a fantasy story as a hero who needs to find a light crystal to save humanity? Or do you simply want to have the retro experience of a pub scene with some friends to get drunk? Do you want to study? Do you want to connect to the knowledge of humanity?
Mr. X, do not worry! Anything you want is there for you! And anything you will do will be ruled by the Human Values which some people in the past have set for you. Your human race has mastered almost all the riddles of the universe and has preserved its history and its human dreams over the times. The world is united and connected. People thrive with love and compassion. No judgment, no crime, no money, no fears, no boundaries, no hate. The societies which once had been divided have become one. The thought patterns which had separated us are now examples of ancient human history, and you, Mr. X, can choose any VR experience of the past to see how bad this imperfect world had been in the past.
Mr. X, today is your day! A new day with millions of things that can happen to us. You can create it, you can choose what to do with your life. You can travel to visit places beyond imagination, you can connect to anybody in the world. The day is yours! Use your time wisely!
