Do you dislike all the emphasis in modern culture on success and “making it,” on getting and spending, on wealth and luxury goods?

With more people living their lives with purpose and significance, we are going to see a massive shift in the way our world operates for the better. Essential reading for understanding the converging forces for profound social change in the coming decades.Ray and Sherry Anderson created a questionnaire to identify "Cultural Creatives" in Western society. Since 2000, she has also been a teacher of inner work that is, as you might have guessed, devoted to asking deep questions (the Diamond Approach to Spiritual Development®). There is no way to overestimate the contribution that Ray and Anderson have made to our understanding of the times in which we live. They don’t get into power games, don’t give campaign contributions, and often don’t vote, because there isn’t one politician in a thousand who pushes a cultural creative agenda. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Atlantic City, New Jersey, she was a curious kid, staggering home from the library with towers of books in her arms.

The Cultural Creatives are those who have woken up to the social, economic and environmental problems of the last few decades of the twentieth century and who are sufficiently motivated to do something positive about rectifying the situation in one or more of these areas.

The evidence is not only in the numbers from our survey questionnaires but in the everyday lives of the people behind those numbers. Because Cultural Creatives are not yet aware of themselves as a collective body, they do not recognize how powerful their voices could be. The cultural creatives were described as a demographic which cared about the environment and purchased according to their values and impact their decision would have on the planet.According to a Huffington Post article, “ Cultural Creatives Are Changing the World ,” updated on Dec 6, 2017, it was estimated that Cultural Creatives could now make up over half of the American population. Just knowing who we are, having a name as it were, gives Cultural Creatives more power to affect the world.
