Excellent read. So clearly articulates the importance of free thought and practice as a critical tool for the evolution of circumstance. Thank you from a practicing visual artist who has been waiting for someone with a following to connect the dots.

Amen and ase! Even Einstein asserted that imagination is more important than knowledge. Now is the time for all creatives to envision a new way forward to a more perfect union that refocuses the notion of civilization or being civilized from having the ability to cause mass destruction through technology to understanding spirituality and spiritual essence as the ultimate technology, leading to crafting a more perfect union through a humane use of all that we create and have.

You nailed it, Eddie Glaude.And not resolving this conflict between who we as a nation say we are and what we actually think and do, could be our nation's downfall. As Malcolm said, the chickens are now coming home to roost. It's just not clear we can function with these contradictions and continue to be a major global power

Beautiful thoughts. Yes, the imagination is our path to God and also our path to our own humanity. If you can dream it you can do it. But dreams take time, patience and fortitude to accomplish. But what else is our gift of Life given to us for, if not to realize the dream of universal freedom , agape and the full expression of the better angels of our beings.
