Send us Fan MailDo you ever have the experience of suggesting a restorative, healing, or otherwise helpful idea and hearing someone tell you it sounds good but isn’t practical?We don’t need to let our sense of what’s practical limit our creation of solutions to the problems people and planet are facing.We are in a position right now on planet Earth where solutions are badly needed.If you care about bringing  solutions into being, it’s important to not let yourself feel shut down when others meet your ideas with the statement that they don’t sound practical. People are probably mistaken when they discount a visionary idea as ‘impractical.’Inspiration is valid: one of the main points of spirituality is to inspire us to bring into existence that which we value most highly. If you feel a spark of inspiration, don’t feel discouraged if others don’t understand your brilliance and claim you’re not being practical. Inventors, visionaries, changemakers, humanitarians, geniuses, and the quiet local-scale contributors and leaders who make things better in the world around them are NOT practical first and foremost. They are visionary and inspired first, and then they seek the ways to bring their inspired vision into practical existence.We’re living in a time that needs YOUR inspired contributions. Believe in your inspiration and share your vision with those who are open to believing it with you.  Kindly leave us a review so more people can discover the show, and SUBSCRIBE to receive quick access to new episodes.Follow The Alight Institute on Instagram at @alight.institute https://www.instagram.com/alight.institute/ We're happy to hear your thoughts at  [email protected]

We record the sermons from our informal service, "Alight". Aristopia: A Romance-History of the New World by Castello Newton Holford (1844 - 1905) LibriVox Aristopia (published 1895) is truly an alternative history. It is an imagination of how the continent of North America might have developed if one man with the vision, altruism and determination to build a state for the benefit of all its people had been in the happy position of having wealth enough to make his dream a reality.It is an interesting book which deserves its place in literary history largely for being the first novel-length example of its genre. It is written, not as a novel, but as unvarnished history. Only a few passages seem really to catch alight with the idealistic passion of the country's founder, Ralph Morton. Those that do, however, are powerful.Borrowing heavily from actual documents of the period such as Captain John Smith's Journal, and also from More's Utopia, Newton appears to use his book to show how the vast natural resources of the new continent could, with the vision and wealth of a man like Morton, have improved the lives
