When someone comes along
with an idea or a product that is way outside of what you consider
normal, what is your first response? If you are like most
people, it's something like : "This can't be
true! This guy is crazy! Where did this nut
cake come from."
Well, consider
this:
Almost
every major change on the planet
has come out of the lunatic fringe.
It
came by way of a visionary, a dreamer, a
possibility thinker. It came from a person who was, at one point in his or her creative process,
considered by most of his/her fellow humans as an eccentric, a fool, a lunatic,
or a trouble maker. Look at the extreme opposite
of what is labeled conservative. If
you look closely into what is commonly called “The
Lunatic Fringe,” you'll find the visionaries, the dreamers , the possibility
thinker. You'll also find the future of humanity!
As
historical examples: Einstein was
thrown out of grade school as hopelessly un-teachable.
Louis Pasteur was drummed out of his medical college for proposing that
life forms too small for the human eye to see were the cause of disease.
Galileo was imprisoned for life for
publicly proclaiming
that the Earth was round. And
then there’s the most famous rebel of all time, Jesus of Nazareth.
Each
of these people made major contributions to the future of humanity; yet, when
they
expressed their mastery
into the world, they were looked at as troublemakers, as lunatics, or as fools. **rs2
The
future of humanity is still “out there” in that lunatic fringe.
If you look among the malcontents, the eccentrics, lunatics and the
quasi-criminals, you’ll also find the visionaries, the dreamers, and the
possibility thinkers. You’ll
find the modern-day equivalents of
Galileo, Louis Pasteur,
Robert Fulton, Joseph Smith, Gandhi, Nicola Tesla, or possibly even another
world-renowned, spiritual leader.
Right
now, today, numerous individuals of this caliber are diligently working on
fantastic new ideas while being ignored, condemned, ridiculed, suppressed, or
interfered with by our fellow
humans.

Those who survive the assault of the status quo will each change the face
of this planet forever. Major
changes have always come about this way -- from people who live outside the
mainstream of society, from people who think differently, act differently, and
hold beliefs that are at odds with what is considered normal, correct, or
socially acceptable. It has
always
been that way.
It’s that way now, and there is no evidence it’s about to change.

We have a web page devoted to explaining why humans tend to dismiss that which doesn't fit
into the belief category we
call "normal." You'll find it at:
