Everyone no matter how ‘evil’ they appear has the seed of an epiphany inside them. If we can find that seed, we can nurture it until it is so strong it just has to burst out.
When that seed bursts out it is an epiphany.
Have you seen the film Ironman? If u have you’ll get this, and if not here’s a brief story…
The Ironman Epiphany Metaphor
Tony Stark, zillionaire arms manufacturer and techno-electronic genius is an evil, self-centered powermonger. On a sales trip to the middle east he’s captured by terrorists, using his own weapons, and put to work to build them a weapon.
Instead Stark builds the Ironman suit, breaks out of his prison and returns to the world, determined to use his wealth and power to right the wrongs he perpetrated.
Tony Stark is a kind of ‘whistleblower’ except that he’s one of those who blows the whistle on himself and thus all his shady colleagues. There are real ‘Tony Starks’
Iron Man (Ultimate Two-Disc Edition + BD Live)
John Perkins who wrote ‘Confessions of an Economic Hitman’ is another self whistle blower who in the process reveals some very ugly things..after having had an epiphany and devoted his life to shamanic teachings and helping peruvian jungle tribes survive and thrive.
John Newton was a powerful slave ship captain who recognizing the folly of his ways becomes a humbly living preacher and from the agonies of his own darkness he creates one of the world’s most stirring pieces of music ‘Amazing Grace’
We know there’s a Tony Stark [or few] out there waiting for his or her epiphany. And that’s where Epiphany comes in.
Epiphany – an experiment in seeds, genes and memes
It’s a game of creativity, imagination and people readiing skills. It’s designed to spread around the world, with everyone coming up with creative epiphany and post epiphany stories for real people who need to have an epiphany.
Here’s how ‘Epiphany’ works
Take one celebrity, politician, industrialist or any really rich and powerful person in today’s arena or in your own community.
Taking into account their fundamental skills and abilities, create a new role for them in which they fight the evil forces using their power where they can make the most impact for the greater good.
Who would you like to see have an epiphany and howcould they use their power to make an extraordinary difference. Take the board of directors of NonAmo Satan – what could they do to feed the world? What about someone like the most famous bad ass celebrity/politician or the head of an Imafa syndicate or the equivalent of Homer Simpson’s Burns in your community. [Change names if you need to!!]
How could they turn into superhero es/ines?
or
Who do you think is right on the edge and how could they be persuaded to take the leap..?
Richard Branson could be on the edge.. he’s reaching out.. but he’s not there yet. What could he do with his island, his planes, his money busines to really change the world? You have your own examples of ‘on-the-edge’ celebrities, politicians, who are all doing something but could do masses more..
You can begin to create the future now by doing what we call ‘holding the space for someone to emerge’….
Please share your epiphanies in the comments…
and please pass this on to someone you know.. imagine if we all start thinking of how people can be turned.. and put it out there.. they won’t be able to ignore it..it will niggle at them little by little..
