New Thinking

New Thinking

At the core of ALL humanity’s problems is our thinking. Many can see that. Dawn seeks to provide a platform for the emergence of a new way of thinking. A new way of being. We must do much more than simply repackage, our thinking. It is a redefining of our very understanding of what it means to be human.


Consciousness gives birth to mindset.
Mindset gives birth to culture.
Culture gives birth to our identity.


By joining Dawn, you are contributing to bringing greater visibilty to the most important issues of our time. We need new politics and a new story. Below are a series of soundbytes that offer powerful ideas for an emergent, new, self governed system. Please add to this below.



"A large percentage of the world could decide to do something different out of a collective inspiration. We cannot underestimate the human potential when it comes to this power of awakening. What allows a group of people to at one point to say, enough! And create a revolution. We are not thinking of 'revolution' any more as violence, we are thinking of revolution as a POWER OF AGREEMENT, that a group of people can one day say, 'This is what we prefer to have', and then create that." Orland Bishop

“The challenge becomes what can we do, that honours and respects every single individual that lives on this land, their history, their identity and their narratives and at the same time with this respect to their narratives, create a future that they will look at, and they will say ‘I don’t just easily fit into this I want to be part of this', and my own personal identity and belief system will be even enhanced to a greater extent by buying into this new story, this new belief system.

To build a future that again respects that identity, respects an individual’s choice of belief, but creates a future that has a sense of independency from that ethnic past. And that’s where the challenge comes, in creating this new global identity. An identity that encompasses everyone and has no value in it of being against anything else or anyone else."

“We have systems and structures that condone aggression and violence as long as it is sanctioned by the state, and by the government. We have systems and structures that create and engender, further and further, deeper and deeper separation and give it some sort of platform for being reasonable - rather than engendering and supporting deeper and deeper mutuality and oneness.

And so until those systems and structures are also undermined and pulled apart, we will only see small change, small shifts in change, but not transformation. Until those systems and structures themselves are no longer able to support those social sensibilities that are damaging to humanity, we will not be transformed as a society. And those systems and structures were created and are kept in place by individuals so it’s a cycle that loops back on itself.” Angel Kyodo Williams

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage." Alexander Tyler on the fall of the Athenian Republic
