Questioning the fundamentals: Perspective
Don’t tune out, tune in & turn up!
Tabitha Cooper
We live in challenging and what can feel like disturbing times. Times where the assumed status quo of the past, was a kind of predictable continuity (itself far from perfect), but which has now been augmented in the potential of threat, by several somewhat existential global factors: A global pandemic, human caused climate change & more quietly in the background Digitalisation.
A global pandemic which has brought some economies around the world to a near standstill, with the looming threat of inflation, all of which has served to further accentuate the gap between those who have, and those who do not.
This is accompanied by a reluctant realisation of the reality of human caused climate change, and a seeming overwhelming complexity around how to solve these collective impacts, with the tempo of that metaphorical clock continuing to tick at the back of our minds
Digitalization of services and ways of working and living, that has by stealth, altered and disrupted not just political and economic systems, but personal relationships between each other and with ourselves. As the excitement of digital peaked, the results now play themselves out in real time as we watch, apparently helplessly, from the sidelines, perhaps sometimes wondering whether we still have any agency over the outcome.
The reactive effects of 24/7 news and (accurately or otherwise) polarising perspectives and beliefs espoused, embraced and adopted on social media dont help; and all of which increases the volume of a sense of volatility, ambiguity, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). This uncertainty has and is challenging industries and political systems to such an extent, that we search and hope for solutions to somehow remove the collective anxiety triggered by these seemingly intractable global phenomena.
But what if there was a simple solution and has everything to do with questioning the momentum of a collective perspective run riot? What if the solution was within our power to enable? What if existentialism the existentialist assertion (that the individual has a unique position as a self-determining agent responsible for making meaningful, authentic choices, but the context for this, was in a universe seen as purposeless or irrational, that the world in which it exists is purposeless and has no meaning) was misguided?
We at Singing Sphere believe that successful, impactful, sustainable solutions and possibility lie in directly addressing our perspective:
We see that this very theoretical separation created between ourselves, the earth and surrounding universe has created an alarming world reality, which is on a direct collision course with itself and its own beliefs.
When we relax long enough to simply sit in the connection we already know, everything becomes possible, it’s all a matter of perspective!
