Reclaiming the Vision of our Future: Living in a Culture of Connection and Creation

There is a disease that is infiltrating our society. It's permeating our imaginations and infiltrating our ideas from every direction via movies, news stories, even video games~ it's the vision of our future. You know what the vision looks like: People have destroyed the planet, we are completely dependent on technology, and we are longing for the natural world (which we destroyed, btw). Ok~ that's fine~ who doesn't love a little science fiction? But where are the stories that counter this possibility? Where are the images, movies, books, and video games made about what a thriving future looks like once we have figured out how to live in a world where we reclaimed our relationship with the natural world, reclaimed our relationship to energy, and reclaimed our relationship to consumerism?

Some might say that we are living on earth during one of the most incredible moments in history, that we are living in a time with the consciousness that we can create (manifest if you use that lexicon), our realities, and that we are inherently responsible for our own happiness. So mix that with the never-ending stories about dooms day, and Houston, we have a problem.
