Something That is Not Here


March 10th, 2018 — Shabat Vayakhel-Pekudei

Rabbi Nate DeGroot

adrienne maree brown lays out in Emergent Strategy how we are living in a society-wide imagination battle, living inside someone else’s creative architecture for how this world should be, how it should work, how power can function, how we relate to resources, each other, and all the rest. She says, “If there is an imagination that created these conditions, then we need to have a radical imagination that moves us through and out of them…We have to be able to see something other than the normative truths of this place, something that is not here.” Exploring futurism, Hollywood, phase cancellation, and how the mishkan can be a model for how to jump paradigms.
