Pan 15 - Thoughts.....Conversations......Aha's

Will it change the world as we know it ?

As analogy I read somewhere that the way we know time as 'Before Christ' and 'After Christ'.....it will now be 'Before Carona' and 'After Carona'. As big as that.

At an individual level, while Covid has pushed a lot of us back to basics....into the 'life of detail', it has done a lot more.

At an individual level, the space and time to be with ones own thoughts, feelings, sensations.

I've heard people talk of taking up personal level vipassana, people who are delving deeper into meditation, conscious reevaluation, stretching imagination.....

And there's also the collective level. That's even more new.  No single thing has impacted the whole world as covid has.

Collective energy is powerful.

While regular conversations are throwing up words like 'apocalyptic' 'dystopic' 'disruptive'........what's underlying maybe fear of a virus and of death.....there's also no one immune to the fact that the world needed something like this.

I read somewhere how 'ego' is being pushed to be replaced by 'eco'. As subtle and as sweeping as that.

Conversations are also throwing up the deeper stuff. Folks saying this will reveal some truths for a lot of us.....what do our lives stand for..... what do our relationships mean..... what does success mean....what does work mean.

While these questions have always existed, they've always sat on the outer eco system for most, on the fringe for some.....and now it's like the tipping point....it's walked right into the doors for many.

We are being shown the mirror. 

Do we have the courage to see it....at the collective, as also the individual levels.
