And the seed planted 20 years ago has manifested as OpenSource and github, the social networks, BurningMan, and in our sphere, #altWWDC, groups like Cocoa Heads and the collaborative group I founded in Albuquerque 5 years ago, Cocoa Conspiracy. We openly share ideas and contracting work, provide code whispering and freely teach iOS.
We are co-creating reality - where you put your energy and love will determine what becomes real for you and for others. If you are a cog in a giant corporate machine, you are upholding that vision of reality and perhaps creating the Borg outcome for humanity. If you are an indie following your heart, your passion and your dreams, then a world of individual sovereignty, collaboration and interdependence becomes possible.
So what will the future bring? Will we let technology empower the oligarchy and crush our cognitive freedom or will we use the technology to set ourselves free?
Can humankind evolve from war as the answer? I'm pretty sure the answer relies on the plus one of you and me each making the decision to live in the quantum world together with the awareness that we are all part and parcel of a huge, infinitely exquisite Machine - a universe of possibilities when we each come from a place of We instead of I.
I'll end with a short story:
An elder was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me.. it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."
"This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too", he added.
The Grandchildren thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "But Grandfather, Which wolf will win?"
The old wise man simply replied... "The one you feed."
