Visionary Counter Culture
Visionary change often requires radical ideas, and can sometimes make us uncomfortable. The biggest leaps of progress across human history have been rebellious, and challenged the mainstream culture.
Pioneers of counter culture are usually visionaries who have had experiences of non-ordinary states of consciousness, and who come back to us with ideas that threaten the status quo and can break us out of broken systems.
