Imagine you were a computer scanning the vast universe. You would see gasses, light, plasma, and matter. But then on this one little planet you would see matter acting in a way it acts (seemingly) nowhere else in the universe. Little clumps of fleshy atoms and cells going against the forces all around it, and arguably against the laws of thermodynamics and entropy. This matter could choose to move. Choose to procreate. Choose to contemplate itself. Choose to imagine. Choose to love or hate. And most amazingly - choose to create.
Yes, the word “divine” strikes fear into the hearts of atheists, and holds sacred flags staked in the ground for different religious banners worldwide. But our imagination - and thus creativity - is divine in a way that requires no faith at all (or lack thereof). It is an obvious divinity. Most of us just can’t see it because we are blinded by the perspective of everyday life, or bad or corrupt systems, or dogma, or social pressures to “keep our head down and get to work.”
Isn’t it true that in nearly all religions God is known as “The Creator” (or something close to that)? Well humans also have the amazing ability to access imagination and be creators. So what does that make us?
This insane idea is too easily brushed away nonchalantly in most cultures. Is there any more profound thing to think about than the very fact that you can access your imagination and mold your own life, and that there are virtually no limits to where this creativity can go? Consciousness, imagination, and creativity are unexplainably awe inspiring concepts. Not in some esoteric or analogous way, but in a very real and tangible sense.
Yet we all seem to forget this and set self-imposed limits that hinder our potential to access these states within.
Why do we do this? Are we afraid? Conditioned?
What if we removed these self-imposed limits? What if instead we started feeding these potentials and making them a focus of childhood development and adult interactions? What type of society could really be possible?
Let’s find new ways to work together and - specifically - put our imaginations together. Technology exists now to make this a brand new frontier for humanity. Let’s be brave enough to stop allowing others to tell us how to live, and find a new way - a better way - to nurture our own divinity.
No matter what religion you adhere to, or what socio-economic status you assign to yourself, we all share this in common. We can all access something unexplainable. Something that can do everything from change our appearance, to change our health, to change our financial situation, to build nations or even change all of humanity.
The infinite possibilities that exist within human consciousness mirror that which can be found in the quantum field. Think about this next time you access your imagination. Maybe imagination is an access to something more powerful and amazing than we have been led to believe by our broken and corrupted society and systems.
Let’s imagine a better system. Better schools. A better society. Let’s imagine a post-scarcity world. A post post-racism, post-war, post totalitarianism, and post-tyranny world. Let’s imagine a truly advanced civilization where the competition against each other is molded into a competition for one another - for greatness, against suffering, and against the entropy of the universe itself.
We can do better. We just need to decide to.
Do you hunger for solutions?
As always the entire purpose of this is to connect with other solutions-minded people like yourself! For 4 billion years on this planet there were only single-celled organisms. Then one day they somehow learned to work together and make complex multi-celled creatures like you and me. Right now we are like those single-celled organisms. Our next evolution is finding how to work together, better (like we wrote about here).

Excellent article.
I see a future where humans thrive on this planet together in unity and divinity. I act and make choices accordingly. I truly believe anything is possible. I witness miracles every single day, despite what is being projected to us through screens.
Our power is within us, each one of us. Don’t let the external world dictate to you what is true and what is real.
First we are not separate from the Universe, we are a part of it. We are also a part of nature, not separate from it. We are endowed with consciousness, ergo, consciousness is an integral part of both nature and the universe. What stops us from our true potential is our most important tool, and also our most terrible master, the self. Until we can set the self aside, so that it works for us as a tool, we only get in our way, separating ourselves from nature and the universe. As Joni Mitchell said, "We are stardust, we are golden", just a bunch of stardust that got up and decided to look at the stars and see and do what we might in our own light, in our own lives, in our own love.
