Stepping into the new

(16 May 2021)

The new paradigm.
The one following this industrial paradigm
that we so firmly hold on to.
This mechanistic view of society and human beings.
Even though it is hurting us.

The old paradigm.
I hold so much love for you.
The wonders you’ve taken us through.
Making it possible for us to be where we are today.
It is thanks to you that we today have the technology
that could bring prosperity
to all sentient beings around the globe.

For the first time in history,
we have the possibility
to end poverty
and
make this a healthy and thriving planet
for human beings,
animals
and future generations.

But it requires of us
to step into the new paradigm.
A paradigm where we come back to the essence
of what it means to be human.
Where we come back to the meaning of life.
Where we once again come into relation,
with ourselves, each other, and the whole.

The industrial paradigm took us away from that.
It needed to,
to do its job.
Now when the job is done,
when it has accomplished its mission
to industrialize the world,
It is our responsibility
to bring back life to the equation.
To embrace all our earlier paradigms,
take the best from each one of them
and take the next step
as human beings.

When we are in so much power
as we humans are today
it demands of us
to be kind.
To ourselves, each other, and the whole.

We hold the power to change things.
We have all the possibilities today to step into something new.
That is good for all of us.

The new paradigm is not over there.
It is here.
It is in my hands
and yours.
It is a decision.
A decision to start acting from the heart
even when you are working in” the machine”.
The more people we are
acting from the heart
The more likely it is
that the machine will get its own heart
and also start acting from that place.

Imagine what wonders
a societal machine with a heart can accomplish.
And I believe its heart is human.
Your heart is part of this big heart.
It matters what you do and where you act from.

Do you believe in the power of our human hearts?
Do you believe in the power of your own heart?
I do.
I can feel it.
And I will hold it.

Let’s grow stronger together.
Strengthen our collective heartbeat.
That’s all it takes to move into the new paradigm.

Does it scare you?
Don’t worry.
I will go first.
And show that it is possible.
I’ve done so for quite some time already.
I am now fully stepping into the new paradigm.
You are welcome to join me.
You are longed for.
