As the sun rose today I sat contemplating that which makes us more alike than different. That which brings us closer together. That which unifies our hearts.
While I truly appreciate our unique individuality, I, like many of you, also long for a world of unity. A world where understanding and respect reigns true.
A world where we realize that peace begins with respecting our individual contributions and the authentic expression of ourselves that will shape the future our our universe.
How among the chaos of extremism and the toxic state of public discourse and polarity, might we come to understand that we can achieve a unified sense of peace with each other. An essence of tolerance.
I want to believe that we all have the ability to appreciate our deep connectedness to one and other and our potential to contribute to a more sustainable, vibrant future.
The question is – how are we going to use that understanding? How will we interpret this knowledge of our connectedness to shape society for tomorrows to come?
To make visible, what without you, might perhaps never been seen.
– Robert Bresson
The Thinkers
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a French idealist philosopher and Jesuit priest who trained as a paleontologist and geologist and took part in the discovery of Peking Man. He conceived the vitalist idea of the Omega Point, and he developed Vladimir Vernadsky’s concept of noosphere.
The Omega Point is a spiritual belief and a scientific speculation that everything in the universe is fated to spiral towards a final point of divine unification.
Robert Bresson was a French film director. Known for his ascetic approach, Bresson contributed notably to the art of cinema; his non-professional actors, ellipses, and sparse use of scoring have led his works to be regarded as preeminent examples of minimalist film
