The world is the way it is today because of the stories
we have communicated to each other
Every culture has a mythology that answers the basic questions who are you,
what is a human being, what's important in life,
how does change happen in the world. Where do we come from, where are we going.
One of the problems with the old story within western culture is that
it has perpetuated a sense of separation between humans and the planet.
We are putting so much pressure on the environment.
So much pressure on poor people. So much pressure on the atmosphere.
Never before has a mass industrial civilization run on the principles of interconnectedness.
We need the perspectives of different cultures in order to weave
the story for humanity of the future.
Not try to reach a single story, but figure out what are our common values.
#Whatever your political party
#or whatever the colour of your skin
#we are all in this together
#and only together can we do something
The Western world is discovering its role on the co-creation of a new world on this planet.
For real change, not just small changes, but major changes, systemic changes.
We have the collective intelligence to create all the solutions we might need.
It's not just solutions out there, it's solutions in here.
We're not going to get out of this environmental mess
by science and policy alone.
#We are all in this together
#and only together can we do something
We need to build a movement that connects ecology, social justice and cosmology
using the power of dream, the power of story, the power of art and the power of action.
Anything that anybody does that is for life automatically makes you
a revolutionary for our species.
#Well come on now, well it's time,
#it's time to care for Earth
