There’s a scene in the Dark Knight Rises where Batman is listening to all of the voices of all of the people in the city, trying to make sense of it.
Trying to find the “signal” in the “noise.”
We are all faced with the same challenge on a daily basis (though maybe not at the same scale and without the ethical implications).
Here’s the thinking.
Every person has a spark of the divine in them.
The challenge for each of us is to do the deep work to discover that strong, still voice of G-d within and then bring voice to it.
That, in and of itself, is a big challenge.
But then, each of us, has to have the courage to share that essential truth with others.
And then, as if that’s not difficult enough, the rest of us have to have a way to know when people are giving voice to the divine part of them and when they are just BS’ing us.
However, if you can figure out the kind of people who are in harmony with their inner piece of divinity and have the courage to give it voice, then you can start putting together a “wisdom of the crowds” version of God’s role in the world.
Satoshi Nakamoto, for example, is someone who I think was able to connect with that inner divine and give it a voice (in the form of Bitcoin).
There are plenty of others, of course.
Recognizing that, at least in this part of his life, Satoshi is aligned with the divine, is something that not everyone has done. Of course, there’s the risk that I’m wrong, but at a certain point, you just have to make the call.
I guess that’s why, collectively, we all have slightly different experiences of the divine and why each of us sees a different version of the future.
