As we begin to embody who we are, we become less susceptible to falling for conditioned ideas of success and other meta-narratives. Instead, we begin to impress our unique image onto the collective consciousness. We move from being mere "consumers' to becoming conscious co-creators--using our purchasing decisions to move the marketplace in a more meaningful directions.
When the Truth isn't Profitable
The Truth is profitable for some, and not for others. In a society that runs almost entirely on self-interest / Weaponizing False Information happens because it can. It perpetuates because too many individuals lack sovereignty.

Many are saying that humanity in the 21st century is going through a bit of an identity crisis. Some say that the "old stories" and systems are falling apart so that a new meta-story (and so system) can come into being. Supposing you agree with this sentiment, what do you think the new story should be? What should the new system look like? Supposing you disagree, how would you define the core challenge confronting humanity in 2019?

Sovereign Subjectivity / To possess sovereign subjectivity means to be secure in one's self and aligned in one's purpose, while deeply aware of one's connection to a broader Self. As individuals this means... As mountain-movers in business, it means embodying this awareness in all that you do. Seeing the world as an extension of your self.

This looks like companies getting inspired to change the world with a legacy their children would be proud of.
Don't tell me. Show Me.
While catchphrases aren't going anywhere, all creators and companies must make meaningful impact through deeds. Companies must tackle bigger problems than to earn the attention of the sovereign.

Get over your"self" - Acknowledging that you're more than the story in the head means you don't need to be limited by old stories and beliefs. While the realities of the world are the same, now you don't give your mind's stories too much control. Living creatively means listening to what is deeper than the ego and the intellect.
is the problem you're tackling big enough to be overwhelming? Good. You probably want collaborators.
Self-Realization & Self-Remembering
To realize the Self and to remember the Self are one and the same. They are recognizing the non-physical dimension of yourself and acknowledging that what you are is greater than who you are. Your story is only part of the puzzle. The space your story is unfolding atop is You as well.

I believe a new way of looking at modern Western culture is needed to address the growing complexity of society in the post-information age. Thanks to technology and the division of human attention, we are witnessing _____. I believe to meet the challenges of our time, we need to step back (and see a much bigger picture) and look closer and deeper at what is beneath the surface. I offer this not as the solution to our current challenge, but a bridge toward building one together. This is about bringing more awareness in at every level. And everyone has a part to play.

When I look at the runaway machine that is our society, I believe we need to move deliberately to meet the unique challenges of our age. To meet these challenges, we must bring more wisdom into everything that we do and at all levels. And do it together.
There are a myriad of reasons why the need is urgent. Whether it's global warming or deep need to accelerate change. We need to embrace the full creative power as a singular human civilization. From where I'm sitting, this means opening up deeper levels of dialogue in all dimensions of human experience. It means opening our minds to new possibilities and not waiting for catastrophe to force our hand.
WWIII = WWME
The modern war is the war for human awareness. It's over where you put your attention, spend your time, and spend your money. It's about what stories we get told, shared, and believed. It's about algorithms, sorting, and sense-making.
Where these things go, so goes the world. So, it makes a lot of sense to look closer at where our energy is spent as individuals, organizations, companies, or as a broader society.
With awareness on auto-pilot, we continue on the same course. But by reclaiming our awareness, we guide experience.

With our attention increasingly divided and our sources of information increasingly decentralized , it makes sense that our culture is struggling so deeply with the current
