THIS IS OUR WORLD
For the past 12 days that I am working from Mexico City, I cannot help but to admit that the answer to the complex issue of this world, cannot be found in the old way of thinking and doing things. We must do things differently.
I think we must find our personal courage to do something good for the world. This world belongs to all of us.
This is our world.
No matter in which city you are right now, without being aware of it, the toxic impact of the ongoing unrest around the world, violence, crime, and poverty, and even climate change will eventually affect your life even when you are enjoying a life in a super safe advanced country or city-even when your city is ranked at the list of top smart cities, happiest cities around the world.
We live in an interconnected and urbanised world. But, we have never been educated about the implications of this interconnectivity, degree and pace of urbanisation, our shared civic responsibility towards ourselves, our communities and towards other humans and beings.
We live in an interconnected system of life. We must learn to cultivate values that enrich the life of all beings.
I think it is time to stop imagining a peaceful world and start actually building it. And, I am sure we could already have built it if we really wanted to. This is not a sarcasm my friends. This is a loving nudge. I want us to wake up as a global community and look around and find ways we can help making our world a better place even if it is planting a smile on a face of a stranger or a friend.
Kindness, compassion and love are magical exponential resources that can be abundantly found in the seat of our soul and hearts. We are all capable of becoming loving beings.
While in Mexico, I had the honour of visiting our ancestors who have left us with the incredible opportunity studying the ancient intelligence and principles they discovered to have impact on human life. While walking around in this ancient place, I recognised an uncanny resemblance to the underlying pattern of collapse of the Ancient Persia, other great ancient civilisations, and even to the fall of old companies and to the cause of failure of previously powerful individuals. These all have collapsed because of ongoing inner and outer conflicts, selfishness, power seeking, greed, forgetfulness, under investment on communities and last but not least because of inability to learn lessons from their mistakes and move forward differently.
While in Mexico and preparing our second whitepaper, I also want to share with you some good news. The world is changing in good ways, people are waking up, people want better lives, they want peace and are realising that we have more technology than any lived civilisation. Cities are also becoming aware that they need to invest on citizens and find ways to cultivate sustainable growth. The seeds of mindful civilisation is present. It only needs loving cultivation. And, we have enough hard and soft technologies to help transform these seeds to a Mindful Smart Civilisation.
Right now there are more than 6 billion smartphones in the world. Think about it. 6 billion smartphones that could be used for peace-making, mass e-learning and sharing ideas. 6 billion smartphones mindfully utilised to achieve what it seemed impossible: Ending human suffering globally.
We should stop contemplating the fantasy of a peaceful world.
We should start doing something real about peace individually.
My friends, let’s become people of peace, evolutionary humans who cultivate peace in their hearts, revolutionary political leaders whose super power is called peace. We have enough technology, we have advanced science, we have great body of ancient wisdom around the world, we have enough determined people, we only need a global movement to end war and violence in all shape and form once for all.
My company — Tai Therapeutics — has developed an exciting a 7 step process based on ancient insights that help us realise our visions of a peaceful, prosperous world for all. Please visit our website and then join us to make this vision a reality.
