Capability of Collective Consciousness

The imagination was giddy with fervent anticipation

A beautifully comforting breeze

soothed the mind from every conceivable direction

while also invigorating the playfulness associated with imminent invention


Another day provides additional time

for the creation and nourishment of an idea

Another opportunity to relentlessly explore

previously unvisited dimensions of consciousness

And not only to explore them

with an approach solely confined to basic curiosity

But also to understand,  experience and ultimately

integrate the information into a system

in dire need of transformation


There is,  within the collective imagination,

the capacity to forever alter the world

in ways that enhance the human condition


The existence of a social paradigm

that empowers the impoverished is NOT a fiction

It always has been and always will be

a possible manifestation of the collective consciousness---

so long as that consciousness develops the fortitude and dedication

to combat the systematic degradation of much of humanity
