How homo sapiens got mis-aligned with the design, trajectory and will of the Universe. And what we can do about it.

We humans are not very well "aligned" with the flow of the Cosmos. Here is a summary to start this workbench: This thread will use the metaphor of a misaligned car to illustrate how small deviations in human behavior and societal structures can lead to significant crises. When individuals and societies operate out of alignment with ecological, social, and moral principles, the consequences accumulate, resulting in breakdowns such as wars, environmental degradation, and social inequality. Key issues highlighted include the systemic nature of war as a failure of diplomacy, the exploitation of land leading to biodiversity loss, and climate change's gradual yet profound impacts. Overpopulation and resource mismanagement exacerbate these issues, while societal responses often devolve into blame and hatred, eroding social cohesion. Economic systems that prioritize infinite growth on a finite planet further deepen misalignment. Realignment is proposed through systems thinking, regenerative practices, and equitable resource distribution. Practical examples include community-led conservation efforts, renewable energy transitions, and educational initiatives focused on empathy and responsibility. The article emphasizes that realignment requires collective action, civic engagement, and a willingness to address structural issues. Ultimately, it calls for proactive measures to maintain societal alignment with natural and social systems, likening this to regular vehicle maintenance to prevent catastrophic failures. By recognizing early signs of misalignment, communities can steer towards a sustainable future.

Yes. That is all correct. But the trouble is, until a tire blows out, in the car metaphor, we don't have a personal and/or collective sense that "something is wrong."

All good. My research has shown that a radical shift in identity, relationship and culture will be needed. Moving, collectively, from "me" to "we." People are afraid of losing what they've got. How can the shift, making consciousness first cause, be shows to be essential and good?

Several examples might help here. There was a time when seat belts in cars didn't exist. Then they were voluntary. Finally, legal mandatory. There was a time when fertility was not easily managed, and large families were the norm. Then, through the work of Planned Parenthood humans began to shift to smaller family sizes. How can we use these, and other examples, to see our way forward/

OK. The problem, it seems, is "connecting the dots" where the misalignments of humanity are going to cause the blowouts. Right now, especially is what is called the first world, life is pretty good. How can those who have enough, or more than enough, "see" that we are all interconnected, and that the principle of reciprocal survival will need to be honored.

We sometimes read about the Power of Myth. And there is a website, www.onesharedmyth.com. What is a myth, a "shared myth" that is elegant enough and powerful enough to form the foundation for the realignment we need?

Your answers have always started with "Participants." I did not include this in my original thinking, but now can see why you have brought this in. We ARE, in fact, all "participants."

Can you offer 10 essential steps what we, as "participants" can take individually and another 10 steps for us collectively, if we are to become realigned as participants. I am liking the participants idea a lot.

And 10 steps for us in the collective, as global citizens, and even for our nations, to become globally patriotic. How do we align together?

The organization LoveShift, has proposed a shift in consciousness - making the consciousness of the Cosmos "first cause." Then, the concept of the power available, as shown in the formula e=mc^C, called "Big C" has shows the incredible amount of creative energy available to us when we "wake up". Can you talk about this a bit?

The key piece to the alignment puzzle is that Big C is COLLECTIVE alignment. Mystically aligned.

You got it! I will post this now at www.oneearthonechance.com/alignment.html. Thank you!
