Renaissance
After centuries of false notions, the ideal of human power and potentiality was reborn in a period known as the renaissance. Beginning in the 14th century in Italy and spreading throughout most of Europe, this dramatic transformation in the world of art, literature and science spilled into all areas of life and signified a shift in human thinking. The world was no longer flat, and men and women broadened their thinking and explored new ideas as they began to throw off the chains of the past attitudes.
As we reflect on world history we know that periods of renaissance (literally 're-birth') were essentially periods wherein thought, aspiration and expression broke the old molds of being.
Fast-forward to the present day, and the 'Information Age' has placed at our fingertips the ability to find out what is happening anywhere in the world. At the click of a mouse we can discover how to bake a cake or assemble a car; we have ready access to the complex theories of the greatest scholars, to those of new thinkers. We can uncover the history and meaning of words (or apparently even the meaning of life!). The Internet provides us with everything imaginable and in every form possible.
But in this WEB of information we are yet to find our OWN truth and, further, find the time to live it! During the time of the Renaissance, individuals with a medieval mind-set were left behind. Now in the Information and Communication Age, 'medieval' thinkers are threatened with extinction.
And so after many generations of knowledge and information, more of us are answering an inner call to rediscover ourselves and re-new our lives. Old paradigms are crumbling and new ones are appearing in front of us. The message is loud and clear, change or else the world will surely change you.
This 'spiritual' renaissance asks us all to begin an inner journey, one where we take time to absorb all that history tells us about ourselves, and to strive forth with new ways of seeing and hearing. Leonardo da Vinci, polymath and archetypal 'Renaissance man', advanced the notion of 'curiosita' – an insatiably questioning approach to life and an unrelenting quest for discovery and learning. By asking questions and changing the form of the question from time to time, new answers would come. For example, instead of asking the question 'how we can get to water?', he asked, 'how we can get water to come to us?' This may seem obvious to us today, but it was in its way a revolution at the time. His new approach to thinking was a precursor to his many inventions, and this particular question spawned the invention of the underwater pipeline, which changed the way the world works.
So the call of this time of spiritual awakening is for us to question OUR old attitudes, old thinking and old ways of being. The renaissance that is dawning today invites us to the rediscovery and the rebirth of our higher nature, to the re-emergence of the leader within. By questioning the notions about ourselves that may once have shackled us, we can expand our thinking and our horizons.
It's time… to give birth to a spiritual renaissance. Transform old paradigms and make way for the new. Increase 'curiosita' in order to keep learning and growing before you are threatened to extinction!
