Al Gore Speaks On His Global Vision In Rolling Stone/Nov.15 Edition

This is a digital edition, so to see the interview you have to go to page 54 by using the controls at the top of the main page. You can click on shortcuts then table of contents and it should be at the top.

And from reading so far it is obvious to me the clear and present danger this planet is now in and how that new level of consciousness he speaks of is where we will find the solutions. He is surely a global leader of vision.

And again, he mentions that the paradigm shift will see people laying down in front of bulldozers to stop coal fired plants from being built. He reportedly also stated through his office that he was considering an invitation from the Rainforest Action Network to do just that. This is what he is talking about regarding activism as stated in The Assault on Reason. This is what that shift will have to contain in order to be successful...US. And it is a consciousness that goes beyond the political to the moral and spiritual essence of our very beings which when reached will simply tell us that and other forms of activism to make those changes are the right things to do now.

The fact that he would now even consider such an invitation clearly illustrates to me the urgency of the crisis we now face and must address in mitigating the damage we are doing to this planet. Even candidates for office will need that paradigm shift to see beyond their own political biases to do what is morally right.

All I know is, that for him to be the leader of this at this time is no coincidence. This is THE issue, and this is the most important position he has ever had in his entire life and is the one I do believe he will be most remembered for. He is an environmentalist above all else, and I respect that. And I am way past ready for that shift.
