The following quotes of Tom Atlee are from Jim Rough‘s interview with Tom Atlee on March 7, 2000:
“We are co-creators… And that’s the stance we need to learn to move into whatever is happening. Even if we are bystanders we are co-creating. It’s like the audience and the theatre co-creates the performance. We are the audience of these historic developments and to the extent we take an active role it will influence what happens.”1
“We are being taught to be consumers of our democracy, rather than creators of our democracy… And that won’t work.”2
