The Revolution We Expected: Cultivating a New Politics of Consciousness
In his last work as an author, celebrated doctor and psychotherapist Claudio Naranjo uses The Revolution We Expected to make a final call to humanity to awaken to our collective potential and work to transcend our patriarchal past and present. The book presents a map that argues not only for collective individual awakening but a concerted effort to transform our institutions so that our educational and cultural lessons are in service to a better world. The author targets traditional education and our global economic system that increasingly neglect human development and must transform to meet the needs of future social evolution. He stresses the need for education to teach wisdom over knowledge and he suggests meditation and contemplative practices can help us realize new ways to learn. Ultimately, we need to embark on a collective process of re-humanizing our systems and establishing self-awareness as individuals to create the necessary global consciousness to realize a new way forward.

THE REVOLUTION WE EXPECTED by Claudio Naranjo
Wow, 2020 what a year. Going into 2021 I didn’t want to make any concrete goals. My only intention for 2021 is to enjoy the blessing of an ordinary day. Whatever that may entail. I want to be more intuitive with what I consume with my body and my mind. Naranjo’s work is a perfect pair for that. He’s a Chilean-born psychiatrist of Arabic and Jewish descent who integrates psychotherapy and spiritual traditions. This book is so grounding, and giving me strength where I need it most.
It’s about cultivating awareness beyond our ego, inequality, education beyond religion when it comes to a spiritual practice, and the necessary change for the economy and society as a whole. The social commentary on transforming our institutions by first transforming ourselves is one that I have heard before, but the cultural lessons present throughout the book will keep you turning the pages.
2021 - here’s to hoping for re-humanizing our systems and creating a global consciousness to realize a new way forward. Cheers.
