Creating a World That Works for All with Dr. Shariff Abdullah

Our job is to transform our dysfunctional societies, through a collective shift in human consciousness. Transcending our "Caterpillar Consciousness" is the single most important thing that we must do. It's time to become the butterfly. Collective consciousness is where ALL of the masters and wisdom teachers have been leading us. Now, at this time of global peril, we have the ability to achieve it. We are imagination-impaired. We must re-learn how to DREAM BIG. Through Commonway, we will implement change that is: Humbling... enough to restore the Earth and our place in the Web of Life Bold... enough to match our turbulent times Conscious... enough to heal the human spirit Visionary... enough to propel us into our positive future Creative... enough to spark and feed the human imagination Practical... enough to actually work.
