Bill, Nature does not Care?! This is a human problem. Mother Earth has been excessively kind thus far. I disagree with even the Dalai Lama to an extent , it IS a spiritual issue. Reverance, care, and responsibility for the life giving Earth needs to become paramount. We have for sometime behaved in a manner disrespectful toward the planet.The planet is quite possibly the Divine that all manner of men have sensed since the Dawn of time Or it is the greatest gift the Divine has given us.
I do not intend to preach, and I will leave it to greater minds than my own to offer solutions, But, our world is shaped more by our minds than our actions. Our actions are dictated by our thoughts and beliefs.
The Western world has been primarily responsible for the pollution of the world since adhering to Francis Bacons Scientific Doctrine.Bacon's beliefs clearly pit us against nature as adversaries and hitched it's wagon to technology, which had been a seperate entity prior . I am not opposed to the practice of science, especially enviromental science, it is the ideology of the belief system I am opposed to. It is a belief system that most adhere to with blind faith, refusing to even acknowledge that it is in fact a belief system. Quantum Physics refutes much of Bacon and Newtons believed and yet everyone is still indoctrinated into a very Newtonian belief system from a young age in our schools.
Change your mind and you will change the world.
