What Would It Look Like?

The Global Oneness Project is exploring how the radically simple notion of interconnectedness can be lived in our increasingly complex world. They travel the globe gathering stories from creative and courageous people who base their lives and work on the understanding that we bear great responsibility for each other and our shared world.

They hope that by showing the diverse ways oneness is expressed—in the fields of sustainability, conflict resolution, spirituality, art, economics, indigenous culture, and social justice—others will be inspired to create solutions to personal and community challenges from their own lived understanding of oneness.

Sorry, I get melodramatic whenever I see a montage of senseless human carnage.

Nice concept but it's hard to see how such a vague focus could be made workable.

My favorite part of the video was the rotund man with the USA t-shirt and a shopping cart full of goodies.

Global oneness? Color me skeptical, since oneness goes against everything I've learned about human nature.

So do these guys want us to become a hive culture or adopt the one world government? If it's the former, I'd like to be a drone, please. If the latter, SATAN!

actually, upon closer inspection, it seems all they really want is for us to all become models for National Geographic.
