When the problem is seen as so big - and as complex as it appears to be - it is no surprise if anyone feels overwhelmed by it. So - with that thought very much in mind - how on earth can this problem be solved?
But thinking practically - there is a way of tackling any problem. It begins simply with finding the path to a solution. And right now, although we don't have a solution, we DO have what is clearly a path to a solution.
It has to be said however - getting to a solution for any problem on this scale hasn't been made easy for us all - given the current constructs of our Societies. Our Societies haven't been built to involve people in solution finding and decision making. Moreover, Societies currently have a control mechanism held over them - held in place by that same small number of decision makers.
As explained in A SPIRITUAL DIMENSION, mechanisms allowing questioning - being the first step to effecting the right change - are absent from our Societies. There is no clear pathway available - firstly to examine and debate the problem and then - to assess the different opportunities existing to address the problem.
Any discussion or debate has effectively been limited to a small number of decision makers - who sit at the top table of governments. In the Old Model, it is those decision makers who Society has looked to as our saviours - the ones we've expected to procure all the solutions needed.
Since they so readily fail at the task - overwhelmed by its size - we have reached the time to formulate a New Model. It is a New Model which involves the whole of Society - or at least, those who can - or wish to - participate.
THE NEW MODEL
What this New Model looks like is not yet known.
The New Model will arise from the drawing board which COWS is inviting YOU to contribute your thoughts and ideas to.
What we can say at this point however is this.
The New Model will involve all of Society in finding the solutions needed and making the decisions about applying them.
If that sounds like a good thing to you - then welcome to the VISION.
​We invite you to JOIN the VISION and be a part of co-creating a NEW MODEL for our Society. What is to be gained is way beyond our ability to measure at this time. We do know, however, that it will be so much better than any of us might reasonably expect.
As already said, we don't yet have the BIG solutions to this particular problem. But we are absolutely sure - that among us all - in the whole of Society - the solutions will be found.
JOIN the VISION and help find those solutions.
The solutions we are referring to here are of course the big solutions. But each of us - from this day onwards - can begin to find our own solutions at our individual and personal level. Take a look at some of the positive contributions we can all make under the heading of...
When enough of us take little ACTIONS
it amounts to all of us taking a BIG ACTION!
