Roadmap to the Future: Part One
Get the story straight.
Here’s my story. I was a whiz at college. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude from NYU. I am good at figuring things out. And I have Inside the Intelligence, a communication from the unseen world that tells me tells me what I am supposed to figure out. It involves getting this world moving. Here we are, warring with ourselves and between nations, and not dealing with the danger we are in from nature’s ravages. How to get into forward motion? With our interconnected world vulnerable to system-wide upheavals, which could include humanity’s extinction, this is a body of ideas for speeding up our evolutionary process to act as one interconnected humanity.
This roadmap to the future is in three parts.
PART ONE
Change who we think we are. Go from wanting the most money to wanting the most good. Every culture has a creation story that clues people into what is expected of them. Adam and Eve is about humanity being born to suffer. Now, even science shows us we are born good, here to flourish. In a lineage from Pierre de Chardin to Thomas Berry to Brian Swimme, my #1 storyteller, we get the Universe Story. If humanity makes it, that story will underlie reality. We’re riding the horse in the direction it’s going. The most important and most basic thing to do is to teach that story to everyone now. It will get people feeling good about being human and wanting the best for everyone. That would get us creating the world we’d like to be in.
To impress you with how important a creation story is:
One way for telling humanity the Universe Story is in a film. There is a script of Brian Swimme excerpts from talks he has given and an animator ready to start working at the beginning of September!
Part 2 next week. How to organize ourselves for we-the-people to act. And I’m always looking for thinkers to think with.

Thank you, Suzanne! You are a truly wise and loving soul who has never wavered from her commitment - which I share - to save the world!
Hello Suzanne and everyone else on this list. I just found your Substack and I am reading along. I hope I am not going to be the dissonant tone along all this positive thinking but I don't think that you can get to your idealist fantasy of a loving world if you don't engage the poor people, the lower classes, the working classes, the dispossessed, and with only loving language and beautiful utopias you won't. We need to think realistic because when you have a bunch of frustrated and hungry people all your loving ideals will not be enough to convince people to join you. I am also looking for thinkers to think with and I appreciate this ideas and others I have been seeing appearing online, forums, etc, to try to save the world, I too write about it, but I feel like a lot of this talk comes from the top,highly educated or well off economic classes, and there's an absence of representation and vision from the lower classes, the masses, which I am part of, low income self employed piano teacher. I don't see how we, tired workers running around to pay rent and bills, can be part of a future plan or present solution. I don't know, all this utopian thinking seems to be reserved to the elites, and we can't ignore the rest. Sorry to be the party pooper. I wish I also had a better idea myself for a better future for all but I don't.
