Its time to change

You have probably heard this about too many time already, on so many other websites, self-develop ones, minimalist ones, and so on and so forth. I am not here today to tell you again that you can change here and now. 


No, I am telling you that it is time for us to change, for us as a society, for us as a species, for us as individuals.


We are living in an obsolete system, that cannot and will not sustain us for long in this manner, at this rate of distruction. The world today needs a new order, a new model, a new default on which to go on, on which to continue to sustain us.


The good news is that it isn;t the first time, the bad news is that it was never easy. But this time it will be relaxing, joyful, fun and above all, an adventure of evolution, a jurney of change from an individual level up to planetary level.


It happened again and again, all over the world. It is inevitable for something, everything to become obsolete.


Machines become obsolete, technlogy, ideas, societies, even we humans become obsolete, grow older and eventually die. This is the hard truth, and we must accept it as it is part of our life.


Nothing that stays the same for too long survives. Great examples are Roman Empire, British Empire, and all major civilizations, and we may be the next. 


Fire changed our civilization, then the weel, writing, sale ships, steam, oil and so on. Now our own distruction forces us to change.


The best proof I can give you right now, and I realised it right now, is music. I am sure most of you are listening to the commercial music that exists today. I am listening to it also, no harm done here. 


But if you want to better understand the need to change, please listen to the folowing song or any music by Oliver Shanti and other great changers. Watch the TED conferences and see what our great minds are talking about. Everyone talks about the need for change , or how today we life a false life, under false assumptions.


I like this life, I am the last person who would like to change, but we need to evolve, otherwise we will die. We are at a cornerstone in our evolution. Our children will either look at us as the great ones who started the new world, as the ones who saved this planet and everyonw that will ever life here, or as the ones who distroyed it. This is , if we will have ancestors, if they will have where to live and how to live in the future, the future we are building today.


Starting next week, I will post methods of evolving, as individual, as a group, as a society, reasons and explanations why should we evolve, and maybe the most important of all, I will present the current situation, the status quo, and why it is so wrong and obsolete. Not from my inexperienced point of view, but from specilalists in their fields, social, economical, ecological, and many others. 


Because you should never belive me, I am not an expert, not by far. But there are experts, and everyone of them is SHOUTING that we needd to evolve beyond these ideas, these concepts, these habits of distruction and lifeless life.


And in the end I am posting you one great quote from someone nearly unknown, but someone who lived his life by his own rules:


"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear."
