SOMETHING BETTER IS COMING

Recently I came across a book published in 1978, The Silent Pulse by George B. Leonard, who, by the way also wrote Education and Ecstasy, the amazing book that led me into all of this.  Leonard was an editor of Look magazine who wrote about the human potential,  and was far ahead of his time, visualizing things that required our current level of technology to implement.  Nonetheless, he provided visions of the future that were electrifying and brilliant.

I was delighted to find this paragraph that so well expresses the outcome of my vision, once the proper learning environments are available to all.

“A world of connectedness, potential, and evolution turns us toward a vivid sense of community along with the acceptance of personal responsibility; toward a de-emphasis on competing and winning along with a re-emphasis on participating and experiencing; from aggression toward gentleness and enjoyment; from dominance of nature to blending with nature; from exponential growth in production and consumption to a more moderate, more ecological standard of living along with a powerful intentionality; toward social justice throughout the world.”
