We Are All Connected

All Connected~All Affected
" You are not just here to fill space or to be a background character in someone elses' movie.
Consider this: nothing would be the same if You did not exist.
Every place You have ever been and everyone You have ever spoken to
would be different without You.
We Are All Connected, and we are all affected by the decisions & even the existence of those around us"~
David Niven
"The greatest discoveries are those that shed light ubto ourselves."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"We Are All Connected.
WeAre All Rediscovering @
A Deeper Level..
Our Connections "With" Each Other, and these Connections are based on energy & information. All of this..has real roots now emerging from physics, the new cosmology, the new biology, and the new research on Consciousness. That Is The Key, to discover that Our Sense of Connection..is not purely imaginary..it's not something to be dismissed.
It Is There~
It Is Real~
It Is To Be Cultivated"
Ervin Laszlo, Ph.D
Transformative social change is a philosophical, practical and strategic process to effect revolutionary change within society. Social Transformation is effectively a systems approach of broad based social change and social justice seeking to integrate personal development & social development as an overarching approach to social change at multiple levels, addressing a wide range of issues, using holistic, nonviolent methods.
Rather than focus on particular issue(s), it seeks to impact the culture of left of center social movement and organizing work. However, by considering the dismantling of and liberation from oppressive systems, including economic, as core to its goal, it defies even definitions put forth for new social movements. As a comprehensive approach to progressive social change, it seeks distinguishes to itself from the "ordinary" change of conventional social change, social justice and their respective organizing practices by placing emphasis on personal, organizational and social systemic change that cannot be undone, or "deep change."
A key premise defining transformative social change is that "the ends of justice can never be served by the means of injustice, and must be inclusive of environmental respect as well as All living creatures of this Earth.
Such a collective approach must be connected to the recognition and needs of All Others;
Respectively including viewpoints, dreams and necessities of Culture for a symbiotic inclusion of The Greater Good of The Whole ~
Because suffering cannot be alleviated by instigating suffering";
And the conditions under which social justice activism and seekers operate within organizationally needs to exemplify the conditions they wish to ultimately see cultivated within society at large. This ideal coincides with the quote often attributed to Gandhi "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
To attain such..We Must Collectively Join Hands Hearts Minds and Souls ToGether in Unification of Purpose..
Seeking A Better Tomorrow
By The Inclusive Respect of EachOther Today
Seeking the Healing of Humanity
Via the realization understanding and acceptance..
That The Whole Wide World..
Is Common Ground
