Connectedness

You didn't come into this world.  You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean.  You are not a stranger here. Alan Watts

In the whirlwind of greed and struggle for domination, we have become indoctrinated and enslaved. We have lost our sense of who we really are in relation to everything around us. We are brought up to believe that we are individual and separate from everything else. We are educated to become indentured servants to our own debt.

It's time that we finally open our eyes, and see that the system is broken. We are not merely lone lumps of particles randomly bumping up against other lone lumps. We are inextricably connected to the universe. If the  all the grass on the Earth dies tomorrow, we will all die soon after.

Th time has come to begin progressing toward a new way of life - a new system - a new structure. In order to survive, we must find balance. We must fully understand the all-encompassing co-dependence  of all things.

We are one organism. We are nature, and nature  is us. We must begin finding ways to live without being in constant conflict with nature, and thus without being in constant conflict with ourselves.
