This essay was a finalist in the How We Saved the World essay contest, where people wrote as if it was 2050 when the world was working, saying how we got there starting with something they did. Here's the intro to this presentation of results, with links to the other finalists and an invitation to make comments about the contest.



What if 26 seconds were sufficient?

By Fabio Balli

Do we need to wait 26 years to build a Paradise, or could we dare to create it within a shorter frame?

Mindset change can happen within seconds. Then, material change can unfold quietly…

So what is the lever?

We need to understand that we create, and perpetuate social and spiritual misery because of the collective narratives we take as “truth”.

For example, the idea that we have to fight to survive in scarcity.

But is there really scarcity?

Any human being can create universes through imagination.

And any human could live decently if we agreed to put ressources in commons, rather than cumulating.

The only question is: are we ready to separate ourselves from a part of our story, of the identity we formed from childhood – learning to fight against peers for recognition from an “authority”, learning to ask permission to do the activities we enjoy, learning to resign from a ideal we do not even dare to dream anymore.

The key is convergence. The ability to listen to one’s heart and the others’, and to agree with them on how we want to live together, despite our different realities. The choice to create knowledges and technologies that other can reuse, improve, repair, reproduce, rather than building excluding ownership and ego.

As we start to release the energy wasted in fighting against ourselves and the other, we may discover that we have more energy than required to build Peace, and Harmony.

If this inspired you, I invite you to listen to your intuition, and see how you can make a simple change in your daily habits, that will contribute to this vision.

This proposal builds on my research-creation “Healing Communities”. www.fabioballi.net/thesis
