We humans are all intimately interconnected. How we treat each other matters to the health and well being, perhaps even the survival, of all of us as a species, not in some vague future, but in this very moment. Kindness is the natural response to recognizing interconnectedness. And in that kindness is true wisdom.

I pledge allegiance to the Earth,
and to the flora, fauna, and human life that it supports,
one planet indivisible,
with safe air, water and soil,
economic justice, equal rights,
and peace for all.

Redeveloping the capacity for heart-centered cognition can help each of us reclaim personal perception of the living and sacred intelligence within the world, within each particular thing.

… the first step is to acknowledge that the world is a spiritual being, just as you acknowledge for yourself that you are a spiritual being. And the next is to recognize the mysterious relationship between the individual and the world, known traditionally as microcosm and macrocosm, in which every human being is the microcosm of the whole.

Animal communicators have most likely existed for a long time, probably in every single culture in the world. It is only in our modern Western materialistic culture, which has been influenced by mainstream institutions of religion and science based on perceiving a reality of separateness, that such a possibility seems so outlandish. However…animal communication, also known as interspecies communication, is a very real phenomenon.

The inclusion of indigenous peoples in environmental management presents an important opportunity to learn from generations of careful observation while simultaneously reinforcing the right of indigenous peoples to use, access and act as stewards of their traditional lands. Environmental governance is strengthened by a growing number of collaborative initiatives aiming to include the perspectives and knowledge of indigenous peoples to improve environmental conservation and management.

When we come to consider the possibility that a mysterious energy of infinite wisdom, patience, and compassion is operating in, as, and through us and everyone else, we open doors to a new experience of life; when we realize this level of trust, our life changes forever.

This is perhaps one of the most important things I learned during this investigation: We see what we believe, and not just the contrary; and to change what we see, it is sometimes necessary to change what we believe.

When we know nature as the mother’s body and everything in nature as utterly sacred then, and then only, will we do everything in our power to preserve, honor and protect nature.

Compassion is a power with its own sphere of influence, a realm engaged by fine energy patterns that play out as behaviors, such as aspiration, empathy, and the fulfillment of a need to heal…

…one cannot enter into a felt rapport with another entity if one assumes that that other is entirely inanimate. It is difficult, if not impossible, to empathize with an inert object. One cannot feel or suss out the intention of another creature if one denies that that creature has intentions; one cannot anticipate the shifting mood of a winter sky if one denies that the sky has moods, if one begrudges things their own inherent spontaneity and openness.

We are undergoing a species level [rite] of passage and it is time to come home into the community of life, not to exert ‘power-over’, but to enable ‘power-with’. We can co-create a world of shared abundance rather than competitive scarcity, but to do so it is time to become mature members of the community of life. We need to redesign the human presence and impact on Earth from being exploitative and degenerative to being regenerative and healing. What’s more, we need to do this within the lifetimes of those alive today.

Toxic subtle energies are every bit as dangerous as toxic water or soil, and they contribute to human suffering. Standing in a loving wholeness radiates a cleansing, purifying effect that can complement any and all work done to alleviate suffering on a physical level.

Subtle Activism is about using consciousness-based practices for collective transformation, while a spiritual activist means “working to create a loving, just, sacred, and sustainable world through means that are also loving, just, sacred, and sustainable.”
