If we are to help heal the world we need to remember that it is a sacred place. Our actions need to be positive statements, reminders that even in the worst times there is a world worth struggling for.

Go outside and don’t go to a special place. Just go into your neighbourhood and repeatedly, over and over again, open your ears and harvest the sounds all around you. Whether those are tree sounds or car sounds or bird sounds. Without judgment, just be present for the physical experience of sounds flowing into our consciousness. Do that over and over again and the trees will befriend you — or come into your consciousness and teach you some of what they’re saying.

Who would deduce the dragonfly from the larva, the iris from the bud, the lawyer from the infant?…We are all shape-shifters and magical reinventors. Life is really a plural noun, a caravan of selves.

An updated worldview is called for that places life as we know it as in, among and inseparable from Earth itself. Humans, for instance, do not live “on” the planet, they are the planet. The terms animate and inanimate no longer serve when we view earth as a living entity. Following on, planetary psychology accepts that earth as a living planet is conscious and accepts the responsibility to investigate just how human and other than human beings share in that one consciousness.

…we are descendants of fungi. Fungi have been here a lot longer than we have. They are network-based organisms. And we know about how important networks are with the computer, internet, a brain, the brain networks. And so, understanding that our origins come from this wellspring of these fungal networks should give us pause to think about how we can preserve the very foundation of the ecosystems that give us life.

Concerning matter, we have all been wrong. What we have called matter is really energy, whose vibration has been lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter. There is only light and sound.

People with this personality trait are more hopeful and assess their lives more positively:

People who believe in the oneness of everything are happier, research finds. “Oneness” is the idea that everything in the world is interdependent and interconnected. This includes a sense of connectedness to other people, nature and life in general. Beliefs like these are incorporated in many religions. However, whether or not people have a specific faith, they are more satisfied with life when they have a sense of “oneness”.

Empirical studies have begun to demonstrate that many people in advanced industrial cultures resonate deeply with what could be called nature spirituality or nature religion. Some of these people view the world as full of spiritual intelligences with whom one can be in relationship…while others among them perceive the earth to be alive or even divine.
