I’m from a disunited kingdom (formerly known as the U.K.) . It’s a toxic mix of failing system and careless immoral politicians accentuated by austerity policies and the acute damage of Brexit.

If seen through the eyes of those outside (yes that includes me) the situation has fluctuated between sadness, spontaneous laughter, pity and unbelievability.

But we shouldn’t despair. As a lifelong believer in the glass is half full it surely provides an opportunity for difference to emerge. We might yet escape Armageddon and The Age of Khali but we must present progressive alternatives in Britain and around the world. I’m encouraged by three things I’ve recently read or listened to….

Reinventing organisations

Eckhart Tolle’s Awakening and podcast with Oprah

A recent article in the Guardian about a progressive approach to democratising the economy!

More info can be found here, here and here.

All of which point in a similar reinvention direction about both personal, organisational and societal change involving localising and engaging people.

Maybe new age thinking, levels of awareness and consciousness, point to areas where we can change. In my view it’s imperative that we do and challenge the demagogues and extreme right wing shifts.
