Barbara Marx Hubbard: Visions of a Universal Humanity

You have to start becoming a pioneering soul.  For people who are in the United States, we have parents and grandparents and ancestors that somehow wouldn’t put up with something and came over here with no guarantees, and most of them without support.  My grandmother was one of them.  At 16 she arrived in New York with $1 in her pocket, which wasn’t enough money to get off the boat. However, she was a good talker and she talked herself off the boat. Somehow these people had the impulse that were going to go and try something new, attracted by the idea that all people are created equal, where in the Old World they were not created equal.

Another thing, like in the movie “Visions”, if we say that our vision is that all people are born creative, and that we are at a threshold of a creative society where that creativity is going to be expressed and connected through everyone, you actually get a vision here.  Then what happens is that you tune into your own creativity.  Let’s say that the people reading this each one has some deeper calling, some vocation, something that attracts us to do and give and be.  Well, that is the impulse of evolution within us.  And in order to do something right today, everyone of us needs to tune in and see what is the most deep impulse in us to express and create and say yes to it, even if you just say yes internally.  What I always say is, “Give me some more guidance”.  That impulse has direction and intuition about you. You’re going to find yourself if you say yes.  Just know that the impulse often feels like depression or lostness, or ‘I’m not sure what to do’.  Just say, “Oh, my depression is an evolutionary driver towards more to be expressed through me.  What is it?”
