Increasing Complexity of Civilization is a Koan

Another fantastic Sunday group meeting! 

Insights and laughter. 

Our local sage, Allyn, was speaking about how the increasing complexity of our civilization was leading to confusion and unrest. 

Yet, this complexity and confusion might just be what is what is needed for us to transcend and include to the next level of societal evolution. 
 
Aha!

It came to me that this complexity is like a Koan. 

The confusion and unrest is just what we need to transcend as a civilization. 

Just as the Koan can help shut down the thinking mind of an individual, the confusion of our complex civilization will shut down the “thinking mind” of the whole. 

Painful? 

Yes!

People will get hurt? 

I am sorry to be witness to that. 

Is it necessary? 

Of course!

What can I do about it? 

All the practices outlined to date in this blog are candidates for your personal evolution. 

Your personal transcendence is all-important.

And, yet, really, not important at all.

Such is the paradox of reality.

You can be at the lead front of change. 

Or, you can be drawn into change kicking and screaming. 

Your personal transcendence will contribute to the transcendence of us all as a society and civilization. 

Get to it!

May you be safe 

            May you be healthy 

                        May you be happy 

                                    May you live with ease
