social and emotional intelligence

Being tapped into the spiritual and emotional root of a circumstance is vital to true contribution.

Being tapped into the spiritual and emotional root of a circumstance is vital to true contribution. There is literally an image-lineage behind everything you touch in the physical realm. This is no less true in the social realm. The human imagination sources from a seemingly endless, relatively invisible realm. Creatives populate screens with their translations of this realm. A fabulous result of the increasing transparency taking place IS the revealing of humanity’s spiritual and emotional eco-system. This same environment has yielded all of our inventions. The chronicling of movement has reached the minutest of shades. Every single step is now visualized and then re-mashed into a multitude of configurations.

One might ask, What is humanity up to right now? Our old paradigm is in shambles, yet at the same time so many new channels have opened up that, at least in some communities, no-one seems to mind. Concepts critical to the previous infrastructure have disappeared overnight, quickly replaced by fabulous new methods of relating to and communicating with one another. So what are we up to? In the face of crisis, we are huddling together, circling together, bonding with one another and seeing one another (in some cases for the first time). Virtual nations have been birthed within weeks, virtual economies have flowered within months, virtual relationship is a red-hot experience and commodity. Humanity is tapping into its greatest resource: It’s heart.
