growth

I believe that in order for us to start moving in the direction of sustainibility we need to define the way we grow as a civilization. instead of growing materially we need to start growing with our thoughts and experiences.Every civilization has its cap on what it can do and how it can think. If we dont think outside of the cap we have created then we cant grow as a civilization. So if our society is so bent on economic growth why cant we put the energy we expend on growing economically to growing mentally. If we all grew mentally then materialistic ideals would not be as important making it easier to give up our paridigm we have created today. Then we can grow with the grains of the earth instead of growing against them making our planet a more hospitable place to live. In washington D.C a big group of people meditated to try and reduce the crime rate by 25%. The police commissiner said it was imposible but it actually happened the crime rate was reduced by 25%.One can only imagine if everybody gave off good vibes like that there would be no crime. This is the way we need to grow with our thoughts.
