Capers Precisely Cut Laszlo forsees this trend of societal systems beginning to interlock. Via the Mind we are approaching global convergence that could either spawn societal interdependence or a situation where one societal system dominates over all the others. More immediately, Laszlo realizes that these global changes in societal systems propagate a "dislocation of the cognitive maps of individuals." Our belief systems, our images and rituals and routines, even our values are no longer routinely accepted. Laszlo seriously contends there is a desperate need for new "systems of belief and action." from Consciousness In The Cosmos: Perspective of Mind: Ervin Laszlo Beatrix Murrell

Unfortunately, the narratives in this documentary, which weave 36 themes to outpicture the employment situation, are by no means dated or obsolete, though a new generation of voices has arisen. The good news is that there is indeed tremendous good news, if we look in the right direction-- and there has been for decades now.

Long Trail Of Short Cuts Sorcery utilizes language to control and dominate reality, to limit human potential (like the pharmaceutical companies turning people into helpless victims by creating new chronic syndromes which they then medicate through new chemical potions), while shamanism provides the liberating act of breaking up certainties and returning reality to the status of mysterious perhapsness and infinite possibility.
