David Korten discusses the guiding stories of our prevailing culture, which has been taken over by propagandists for corporate interests.
Theirs is an Empire myth of prosperity story based on a market economy. This has led to Imperial excesses. 1% of the rich own 51% of the world's assets. 50% of the world population own less than 1% of the world's assets. The Living Planet Index of health has declined 30% since 1970.

We must replace the Imperial Meaning Story with an Earth Community Meaning Story




Address problems at their source, upstream.
1. Environmental collapse ˆ relentless growth and consumption. Killing our mother (earth) and with her, ourselves. No resources for war or extravagance. Invest in human needs rather than wars.
2. Unraveling of the fabric of civilization because of the growing gap between rich and poor; haves and have-nots.


Blessings and prayers
