What if we agreed as an American people to only respond to a blue alert? What would a blue alert look like? I’m thinking a societal mood that is cool, smooth, refreshing, renewing and cleansing. Wouldn’t that be terrific?
I can tell you, the Whisperer voice within each of us would just love blue alerts. Time to wake up to possibility thinking. I wonder, though if we would know how to handle that.
With the great industrial age, came educational systems designed to have Americans fit neatly into assembly lines and, later, corporate cubicles. So, we have been trained from early childhood to reference the world around us for our view of reality, our motivation, and our sense of approval.
In the industrial age, such education was appropriate as people migrated from farm work to factory work. We chose to conform in order to progress, but America is no longer an industrial nation and fast devolving as a corporate nation, as increasingly, cubicles are emptied here and filled over seas. Having lost the spirit of individualism that once had us following our dreams of freedom across oceans and prairies, we don’t seem to know who we are as a people and that is largely because we no longer know who we are, nor what we want, as individuals.
So what might we discover in the wild blue yonder blue alert state of possibility thinking?
You’ve finished your article with an intriguing question. I’ll have to give it some thought. I like the idea of a blue alert!
Amanya, I would love to know any answers that come to you. We’ll look deeper in the next few blogs. Thanks for commenting!
