Thich Nhat Hanh said "The next Buddha will be a sangha."
I keep coming back to this.
The American rugged individualist thing? It worked for a while. But now it's literally making us sick.
The Lone Wolf. The Self-Made Success. The Guru who has all the answers.
We're still clinging to these stories, and they're not serving us anymore.
Indigenous cultures always knew we're woven together.
The era of the savior is over. Communities are what's next.
Not the pretty, curated version of community. The real kind. Where we show up incomplete and figure it out together.
Maybe that's where the actual intelligence lives... in the space between us, not just inside our individual heads.
Collective Intelligence
You weren't meant to have all the answers alone.
