1.2 Lucid, quick, agile, wise, humble and cautious action !

Our collective challenge is to give progressive and emancipatory meaning to the developing transition. The type of transition that we must prioritize requires us to be humble in our wants, to have realistic expectations and clear actions. These qualities are essential in guaranteeing as much the survival of humanity as the sustainability of the planet’s natural ‘ecosystems’. As such, this Manifesto lists the key elements of the transition process, which, depending on the path it takes, will mobilize past, present, and future emancipatory proposals for a redemptive utopia¹Here we are referring to the utopic gardens presented in the blog for the book-movie Paths Through Utopias by Isabelle Fremeaux and John Jordan : https://lessentiersdelutopie.wordpress.com/..

We have created the Manifesto of the Awakening as a collective, evolving, written document about the key points to consider in conceiving of and enacting actions and thoughts for mitigating the global and planetary crisis. The Manifesto recognizes the legitimacy and the relevance of any approaches, processes or social dynamics that aim to transition away from the hegemony of the institutionalized social order, represented as much by the modern era as by ‘capitalism’.
