50 / 1.

Again, New Orleans filmmaker Benjamin Reece blows me away with his vision. This is a segment of his Fifty People, One Question project, recently taken to the streets of London. I've always found film to be quite possibly the most powerful medium for movement. There's something woven deep within this piece that instills sensitivity, and even compassion, for lives quite different than your own. Which truly, is what it's all about; learning to love all people, all things. We're lucky to have tools like this one to assist us along that journey...

Paradigm Shift.

What Would It Look Like?

What if the world embodied our highest potential? What would it look like? As the structures of modern society crumble, is it enough to respond with the same tired solutions? Or are we being called to question a set of unexamined assumptions that form the very basis of our civilization?

This 25-minute retrospective asks us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves, and to listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation. - excerpt from the Global Oneness website

Be a catalyst for peace, respect, unity and transformation. Spend just 25 minutes today wisely : http://www.globalonenessproject.org/videos/whatwoulditlooklike
