There are people who get caught up in this who seem to want to take us back to hunter-gatherer societies which is not going to happen . No, we're way beyond that. What we need to do is figure out ways which I believe are totally possible to work in cooperation with the earth to maintain and even enhance the quality of life we've attained by raping it. There are projects that are being carried out right now in South America that are really mind-blowing in terms of crop yield and recycled fertilization of the earth. I think some of the people who are representing the shamanic path are able to tap directly into what are thought of as nature spirits . . .
People think the planet is nearly dead.
That's not really the case. It's very alive, thank you. It was here way before us and will be here way after we're gone. As has been said by so many people, it's quite capable to shaking us off like a bad case of fleas if it needs to. Yet we do have some problems that I believe by working in cooperation with the planet, with nature spirits, could be cleaned up a lot easier than people tend to think.
