Seeing the Evidence
We all want to see change in our lives/world. And it's IMPORTANT that we see this evidence -- i.e. changes in individual & collective behaviour, and the results in our physical world -- because wishful thinking isn't enough.
However, it's also important to remember three things about change:
Thus when we're looking for signs of change, we need to start with:
Just as we look for the 'signs of Spring' before that Season is actually here, we also need to look for the signs of change around us. And just as in nature, these changes will be at different stages of growth: from seeds, seedlings and shoots to buds and blossoms. Some older or faster growing ones will be more mature, and have grown larger or wider. Yet they too are still changing and growing...
Here are some of the signs of conscious change:

We all want to see change in our lives/world. And it's IMPORTANT that we see this evidence -- i.e. changes in individual & collective behaviour, and the results in our physical world -- because wishful thinking isn't enough.
However, it's also important to remember three things about change:
- it doesn't start with a behaviour; it begins with an idea (i.e. a thought in consciousness)
- it doesn't start in the mainstream; it begins 'at the fringe'
- it takes time for new behaviours & thinking to become mainstream.
Thus when we're looking for signs of change, we need to start with:
- the alternate thinkers, small groups, start-up ventures, small businesses and non-profits
- the entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs
- the forward thinkers and leading edge groups within organizations, businesses and society; and
- the hopes and dreams within all of us - AND the small steps we are taking to 'make them real.'
Just as we look for the 'signs of Spring' before that Season is actually here, we also need to look for the signs of change around us. And just as in nature, these changes will be at different stages of growth: from seeds, seedlings and shoots to buds and blossoms. Some older or faster growing ones will be more mature, and have grown larger or wider. Yet they too are still changing and growing...
Here are some of the signs of conscious change:
- Shifts in thinking, e.g. from
Competition or conflict --> connection, collaboration, harmony
Separate/partial/limited --> integrated/whole thinking
Self interest --> shared interests
Fear/guilt --> love, compassion - Crossing barriers of traditional belief, e.g.
Mind-Body connection
Thought-Behaviour-Performance-Demonstration
Connections between our Inner + Outer world, experience
Science-Consciousness-Spirituality connection - Expressing our deeper truths/challenges (aka 'coming out of the closet')
- Applications of these shifts with practical results.
