How might we evoke curiosity, expand awareness, and raise consciousness about opening our mindsets to redress our meta-crisis of systemic power abuses that sets up our poly-crisis of wicked problems?
I love the lyrics. They are true and profound. I love the music. It's elegant and relaxing. However, the aesthetics of the two together leaves much to be desired. It comes across as New Age blather, when it is really the opposite. More artistry is needed. I would suggest collaborating with musicians from multiple cultures around the world to reinterpret this music for wider audiences.
You have asked all the right questions. When I reflect on them, I think that there we should create an archipelago of little islands that provide a space for generative dialogue, deep learning, are systems thinking for social change over the long run. Some island might address one wicked problem (e.g., climate change) while others would focus on something different (e.g., health inequities and social injustice). The point is that they all would cultivate a new way of being, a new consciousness that facilitates intergenerational deep learning and understanding.
Spot on. The songs are prototypes to inspire the pros to make better protest and advocacy music that are so sorely lacking today. What can we learn from the protest songs in 1971? Music can create movements, but consciousness raising is not enough. How might we use protest songs to engage people in lifelong intergenerational learning process to co-create living books and beloved learning communities. And invite people to write own songs.

People are already doing that. You're just not tuned in.
