Quantum social change
On these index pages you'll find stories, video, images and poetry tagged with specific themes. This page is on: Quantum social change
You-I-we determine what we see. We are in intra-action with each other and the world, realising a panoply of possible futures, independently and together. This matters—it affects how you-we-I interpret and act. What we are, were and will be is constraining but not determining.
Seasons: sensing an aroma of change
We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are yet, in our pandemic we’ve been gifted connection to our ever-changing world. It’s a bridge to see beyond how we are.
Breath into February in this post.
We’re connected: why what we do matters so much
A single person matters? For climate answers? That’s a paradox and wisdom from shifting our perspectives, understanding we’re connected helps.
This is a shift to quantum thinking, making the problem bigger to address it.
Change: collective memories
Our shared memories, deep and seemingly historic memories are powerful. In creating positive change more potent, we’re more potent, than we think.
About this content
Our world is changing. Our thinking patterns are shifting. To answer our pressing emergencies and, fortuitously, engaging in this brings an aliveness like nothing else.
We’re a worldwide civilisation now and can consciously engage in creating thriving, just, sustainable futures for everyone. Yet, sometimes, this seems like a very lonely path…
We hope this site helps us all accelerate positive shifts. Amplification, re-storying and sharing awe…

Simple please, not simplistic.
Easily said but hard to do in our complex world. Music, poetry, pictures can all help the narratives. Enjoy these short videos!

We co-produce our present-futures.

Surfing simultaneous states: Beauty, fear, joy and despair
Windows may be opening. Like me, you’ll have experienced joy and despair all at the same time. Maybe our feelings, our emotional states, are all true. All simultaneously present. From torment and unease, to satisfied and joyous, touching blissful and enlightened. What does this look like (and what’s the science)?
sp/ns 2: A story upgrade
We need cut through, insight and scaffolding to explore and enable our potentials.
But simplistic solutions fail with today’s emergencies. What about exploring the sublime? The new and upcoming entangled futures? The archetypes we often miss that frame and guide or thinking?
Simple please, not simplistic no.2 Short videos, playlist and photo gallery. Enjoy!
Attractors: strangely, we keep getting pulled in
We already have all the solutions we need to ensure flourishing, alleviate oceans of suffering for all sentient beings and answer pressing emergencies such as climate. Yet, we act too slowly seemingly beholden to outdated ideas. There’s a strange attraction to our old archetypes. It’s time for an upgrade! What do the new ones look like?
sp/ns: simple please, not simplistic
We need cut through but simplistic solutions fail to answer our climate, equity and empowerment emergencies. How about sp/ns—enjoy the videos, audio and gallery below.

Make haste – slowly, powerfully, minimally
“Hasten slowly” said Augustus. Oh, this is hard. To imagine what can be created, to hold back, to act; to engage means delving into both despair and hope. That’s where we’re challenged to see the powerful in what we do which is always minimal and micro. Feeling adequate in the face of manifest inadequacy. Weaving together the pieces that hasten, slowly and steadily, benevolution.
