Be the Change Limited is a not for profit organisation dedicated to inspire ordinary people to take responsibility for our shared global future
Our Purpose
- To get the right people talking about the right issues
- To cross fertilise ideas and experience
- To change the way we think about issues that are not being solved at the current level of thinking
- To explore the means of achieving effective systems change
- To inspire us all to make it happen!
Why?
It now clear that continuing to think and act as we have in the past won't provide global political and environmental security!
What is required is an entirely different order of thinking, One using a whole systems approach based on collaboration with each other and with nature.
It is very painful to hold the complexity of interlocking systems in your mind, while searching for complex answers to overwhelming questions.
We have not been trained for this...
...and we can hardly bear it, so we paper over our fear with increasingly trivial reality TV, quality of life, home improvements, antidepressants and a fixation on food and wine.
The Be the Change events in London May 2004 & 2005 and the movement it has now triggered here in Australia, is intended to bring this awareness to a much wider public, to evoke the next level of democracy and to inspire ordinary people to take far greater responsibility for the human condition and our shared future. We can no longer depend on old leadership styles and old thinking. We must evoke our own individual inner leadership and train ourselves to be part of a new capacity.
The Be the Change initiative is educational, inspirational and action orientated. Not only a talkfest, it invites collaboration, values diversity and acknowledges the emergence of the spiritual impulse within all of life from which we make sense and derive meaning and purpose. It is a message of optimism, of love and of trust in a world beset by fear, by apathy and by the belief of scarcity.
The transition of the nation state into a global structure, the answer to hunger, the dissolution of terrorism as the preferred expression of disagreement, are all issues up for debate against the compelling backdrop of clear and present environmental danger. Only by engaging fully in these debates can we insert them into the heart of our nation's democracy, from which they are entirely missing. The most recent national elections failed to engage with these issues at a level from which a solution might emerge.
