Thanks for sharing Anne Therese this very practical example of how you were able to convincingly put the Theory U of Otto Scharmer into practice by meeting the voice of judgement with an open mind, the voice of cynicism with an open heart ❤️, and the voice of fear with an opening will. Inspiring and 👏 well done 👍
I so love your perspective, and your competent presentation of the issues. It is almost as if you are calling us to a practice of wisdom. Keep going!
In support and appreciation of wteng's comment: Paul Hawken poses the question "what if the climate crisis was not happening to us, but happening for us?"
I agree. The climate crisis is also an opportunity--to "reboot" human society. The challenge, of course, is we don't have much time; so, however we do the rebooting, how can it be scaled up quickly enough?
Rebecca Solnit, in her A Paradise Built in Hell, explored what happens in the immediate aftermath of disasters, how survivors, left to themselves, self-organize much more altruistically and collaboratively than what is conventionally assumed and expected. “Disaster reveals what else the world could be like.”
I recently took a BOSS (Boulder Outdoor Survival School; https://www.boss-inc.com/) 14-Day Field Course in the wilderness of southern Utah, U.S. This was a challenging, fun, mind-expanding, and life-changing experience, paralleling in so many ways the stories in Solnit’s book, that also “reveals what else the world could be like.” BOSS courses "reboot" a student's perspective on, and relationship with, nature. And, this connection or reconnection of humans with nature--i.e., humans changing--has, as I'm discovering, a fascinating connection with a more effective climate crisis communication (i.e., that which stirs people to action).
All this, along with the younger generation, makes me more hopeful in the face of this immense problem that often seems intractable and hopeless--that there is a way out of, or at least to mitigate, the climate crisis. Also kind of hopeful, we just need 3.5% of the population to be actively engaged, right? 😃

In all of this mind power around you not one chooses to achieve common sense.
PRAISE GOD BLESS HIM THAT HE SENT ME TO CAPTURE THE DRAGON SATAN!
FOR I HAVE DONE IT!
