Overview – Taking on another perspective

When watching this video, I am at awe on what a different perspective this brings me. That somewhere on this planet I am doing and being my work in connecting and inspiring people to see the whole of themselves, others, their context. This video takes it to another level for me. Enjoy!  Welmoed

David Loy (Philosopher)
We see very clearly that when the earth gets sick, we get sick. If the Earth dies, then we’re going to die. People sense that something’s wrong, but they’re still struggling to go back and find out what the real roots of the problem are. And I think what we need to come to is a realization that it’s not just fixing an economical or political system, it’s a basic worldview, a basic understanding of who we are that’s at stake.”

 

Edgar Mitchell (Apollo Astronaut)
And a part of that is to come up with a new story, a new picture,a new way to approach this, and to shift our behaviours in such a way that it leads to a sustainable approach to our civilization as opposed to a destructive approach.” 

“It is a fragile planet, and if we don’t take care of it, and we don’t work together, then we are going to have bigger issue than we have now down the road.”

 

Ron Garon (ISS/Shuttle Astronaut)
“On a grand scale, we’re basically all living in this one ecosystem we call Earth and everything you do on one side of the ecosystem affects the other side and that is a new way of living for most of humanity.”
