Co-creating

Our human culture has become so full of arrogant self-delusion that what we believe has become biased. Take our history books, for instance. Human society flourished in the area of the Earth's surface now called The United States for ( at the very least) thousands of years. Yet we have a statue right here in Pittsburgh that says that Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492. Aside from the absolute (and obvious, when you think about it) absurdity of this claim (which my generation was taught in grade school), research into the ACTUAL history of this country reveals that this man (aside from surely some good things that can be said about him) - when he first encountered native peoples here - wrote about how superior technology (such as metal swords) would allow him and other Europeans to enslave these indigenous peoples.

Our believed histories are also full of other distortions of fact that we were fed in school, such as that Guglielmo Marconi invented radio. In fact, the much more idealistic and conscientious Nikola Tesla was the real inventor of radio, while Marconi stole patents from him. Tesla's name is rarely mentioned in the history of invention, despite the fact that his work was instrumental - wholly or in part - for the creation of: the flourescent light bulb; radar; radio; the electric motor; television; and the electric grid that now covers the planet. Tesla's whole life demonstrates the miracles possible when we human beings align ourselves with higher values. Thomas Alva Edison was also a great good person...sometimes (not so much when he reneged on a verbal promise to pay Tesla $50,000 for some work Tesla did for him).

The fact is, none of us creates anything - we are only inspired by a Higher Power to co-create what comes into our hearts and minds. And every co-creation brings with it responsibilities along with its privileges. An honest recognition of the side effects of our technologies makes it clear that we have to shut down the combustion industry. We have to go to not only carbon-neutral but carbon-NEGATIVE activities such as nurturing photosynthesis. And to using co2 and methane in non-combustion production. And we have to eliminate all financial and legal hindrances to gearing up the better technologies, which have been suppressed on behalf of the status quo for over a hundred years. Tesla was thinking about pollution all those years ago and had an electric car. Why are we only now coming out with an electric car?

Alongside of the exploding quantity of catastrophic things going on now on Earth at this moment in history is an equally explosive amount of constructive scientific application and positive social change. Let's align ourselves further with the REAL power on Earth, the power of Love (with a capital L). This is how we will together co-create the Heaven on Earth we all know in our hearts is possible.
