The Importance of Holistic Consciousness “There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with people. Given a story to enact that puts them in accord with the world, they will live in accord with the world. But given a story to enact that puts them at odds with the world, as yours does, they will live at odds with the world. Given a story to enact in which they are the lords of the world, they will act as the lords of the world. And, given a story to enact in which the world is a foe to be conquered, they will conquer it like a foe, and one day, inevitably, their foe will lie bleeding to death at their feet, as the world is now.” –Daniel Quinn’s Ishmael Have you been seduced into screwing everyone else on the planet? Is the story you’re enacting one of conquer-control-consume-repeat? Is the cultural myth you’ve swallowed your entire life at odds with nature and the world? –Tough questions, certainly, but important questions to ask nonetheless. The story we have been enacting so far as a culture is one of human supremacy over nature. We believe that we are the pinnacle of evolution, imagining that nature was put here somehow for us to conquer and rule over. This cultural myth is parochially driven and egocentric, and has led to the degradation of the environment and the exploitation of people. We imagine that our supremacy will eventually lead to complete control of nature, at which point we will be able to bring about a utopian paradise. We continue to fail, however, because we are a flawed and fallible species –not to mention an exceedingly insecure one. And so our “paradise” eludes us, and we are instead left with a burnt-out husk for a planet, due to the violation of certain immutable laws. Indeed, there are immutable laws that, if broken, have dire consequences. As a culture we have broken many of these immutable laws, and we are beginning to see the consequences, such as endangered or extinct species, global warming, and modern mental health issues. Immoderate and fundamentally unsustainable, civilized societies are failing the world. Human supremacy is nothing more than a cultural myth. We have forgotten that we are not independent creatures. We are, in all ways, interdependent creatures. When we enact the myth of independence from nature, or dominance over nature, we are breaking an immutable law. It is time we got back to an intimate understanding of our place within the biosphere, a Great Re-wilding. It is time we let go of the myth of control and gain a more holistic consciousness in regard to our relationship with the natural world. In his novel, Ishmael, Daniel Quinn explains two types of people: the Leavers and the Takers. According to Quinn, “The premise of the Takers’ story is ‘The world belongs to man.’ The premise of the Leavers’ story is ‘Man belongs to the world.’” Let’s face it: our culture is a Taker culture. As Takers, we must be willing to transform ourselves into Leavers, or at least begin practicing Leaver strategies, if we want to live sustainably on a finite planet. We must be willing to progress, not regress, into rewriting the story as ‘Man is interdependent with the world.’” This is the essence of holistic consciousness. We and the biosphere are mutually dependent, inter-reliant. To the extent that it seems we are separate is an illusion. This is the epitome of deep ecology. And there is no reason why we cannot improve upon Quinn’s Takers/Leavers dichotomy and add a third type: Makers. Makers will create from nature in moderation, taking what they need to progress sustainably, while creating sustainable technologies that help both the human and the biotic community progress and flourish. Makers will be eco-centric, as opposed to ego-centric (Takers), and proactive, as opposed to passive (Leavers). They will be the ones to sound the horn for a new way of going about doing things, a call to sustainable arms. They will merge the modern world with the natural world, uniting the conscious aspect with the primitive. Unlike Leavers they won’t be docile and submissive; they will be courageous and proactive. Unlike Takers they won’t be hoarding and plundering; they will be creative and healing. They won’t be inert consumers, they will be heroic rebels. Like Rollo May wrote, “Recall how often in human history the saint and the rebel have been the same person” Indeed, Makers will be both saints and rebels. It is only in accordance with immutable laws that human evolution can achieve a balance with nature. The combination of creating sustainable technologies (Makers) and living in accordance with nature (Leavers) should allow us to evolve past the unsustainable methods of modern civilizations (Takers). And who knows, with enough time, and enough eco-centric Makers practicing holistic consciousness and deep ecology, we may yet achieve a state of paradise. One thing is for certain, it won’t be achieved if we are enacting a story that is at odds with the world. Image source: Comments Great article! Let’s all be eco warriors and raise the absolute amazing Project Venus (design by Jacque Fresco), finally making that reality, finally ending this monetary system! Because we cannot be ”ecocentrists” based on profit. I love this site! I thought the “wrong, right” picture was an example of a food chain, then I noticed there was man on top, then female below. I understand now that this is talking about equality. But lets go back in my mind when I was ignorant thinking it was a food chain. When I thought it was that, I assumed the one to the right was a food circle… I would love to see a tree eat a whale..just saying. Namaste!

Važnost Holistički Svijesti "Nema ništa bitno nije u redu s ljudima. S obzirom na priču da donesu da ih stavlja u skladu sa svijetom, oni će živjeti u skladu sa svijetom. No, s obzirom da donosi priču koja ih stavlja u sukobu sa svijetom, kao tvoj ne, oni će živjeti u sukobu sa svijetom. S obzirom na priču da se donese u kojoj su gospodari svijeta, oni će djelovati kao gospodara svijeta. I, s obzirom da donosi priču u kojoj je svijet neprijatelj treba osvojiti, oni će ga osvojiti kao neprijatelja, i jedan dan, neizbježno, njihov neprijatelj će ležati krvarenje do smrti na svojim nogama, kao svijet je sada. "-Daniel Quinn Ishmael Jeste li bili zavedeni u vijak svi drugi na planeti? Je li priča koju donošenje jedan od osvajanje-kontrole-konzumiramo-repeat? Je li kulturni mit ste progutali cijeli svoj život u sukobu s prirodom i svijetu? -teška pitanja, sigurno, ali važna pitanja pitati svejedno. Priča mi smo bili donošenja do sada kao kulture jedna je od ljudske nadmoći nad prirodom. Vjerujemo da smo vrhunac evolucije, zamišljajući da je priroda staviti ovdje nekako za nas osvojiti i vladati. Ovaj kulturni mit parochially je odvezao i egocentričan, i dovela do degradacije okoliša i eksploatacije ljudi. Mi zamisliti da svoju nadmoć će na kraju dovesti do potpune kontrole nad prirodom, na kojem trenutku ćemo moći donijeti utopijski raj. Mi i dalje ne uspijevaju, međutim, jer smo manjkav i pogrešive vrsta-da ne spominjem izuzetno nesigurno jedan. I tako naš "raj" nam izmiče, a mi umjesto da se ostavi sa izgorjela mahuna za planet, zbog kršenja određenih nepromjenjivi zakona. Doista, postoje nepromjenjivi zakoni koji, ako je slomljena, imati strašne posljedice. Kao kulture smo razbijena su mnogi od tih nepromjenjivi zakona, i mi smo počeli uviđati posljedice, kao što su ugrožene ili izumrle vrste, globalno zatopljenje, i moderne mentalno zdravlje pitanja. Neumjeren i fundamentalno neodrživ, civiliziranim društvima ne uspijevaju na svijet. Ljudska supremacija nije ništa više od kulturnog mita. Zaboravili smo da nismo neovisna bića. Mi smo, na sve načine, međuovisnih stvorenja. Kad smo donijeti mit o neovisnosti iz prirode, ili dominacija nad prirodom, mi smo razbijanje nepromijenjivi zakon. Vrijeme je da smo se vratili u intimnom razumijevanju našeg mjesta unutar biosfere, a Veliki povratak divljini. Vrijeme je da pustiš mita o kontroli i dobiti cjelovitiju svijest u odnosu na naš odnos s prirodnom svijetu. U svom romanu, Ishmael, Daniel Quinn objašnjava dvije vrste ljudi: da će odustati i Uzimalac. Prema Quinn, "Premisa Takers’ Priča je 'svijet pripada čovjeku. " …Premisa ispadaju’ Priča je 'čovjek pripada svijetu.' "Budimo realni: naša kultura je Izvođač kulture. Kao Takers, moramo biti spremni da se pretvori u ispadaju, ili barem početak prakticiranja Leaver strategije, ako želimo živjeti održivo na ograničenoj planeti. Moramo biti spremni za napredak, Ne regres, u prepisivanjem priču kao "Čovjek je međuovisna sa svijetom. '" To je suština holističke svijesti. Mi i biosfera međusobno ovisni, inter-oslanja. U mjeri u kojoj se čini da smo odvojeno je iluzija. To je simbol duboke ekologije. I nema razloga zašto ne bi mogli poboljšati nakon Quinn Uzimalac / ispadaju dihotomije i dodati treću vrstu: Makers. Odluka će stvoriti iz prirode u umjerenim količinama, uzimajući ono što im je potrebno za napredak održivo, dok je stvaranje održivih tehnologija koje pomažu i čovjeka i biotički napredak zajednice i procvat. Odluka će biti eko-centric, za razliku od ego-acentricni (Uzimalac), i proaktivno, za razliku od pasivnog (Članovi koji će odustati). Oni će biti ti koji će se oglasiti rog za novi način ide oko radiš stvari, Poziv na održive rukama. Oni će se spojiti s modernim svijetom s prirodnim svijetom, ujedinjujući svjesni aspekt s primitivnim. Za razliku od ispadaju oni neće biti poslušan i pokoran; oni će biti odvažni i proaktivno. Za razliku od Takers oni neće biti privremena ograda i pljačkanju; oni će biti kreativni i ozdravljenja. Oni neće biti inertni potrošači, oni će biti junački pobunjenika. Kao i Rollo May pisao, "Sjetite se koliko se često u ljudskoj povijesti svetac i pobunjenika su ista osoba" Doista, Odluka će biti svetaca i pobunjenika. To je samo u skladu s nepromjenjivi zakona da se ljudska evolucija može postići ravnotežu s prirodom. Kombinacija stvaranju održivih tehnologija (Makers) i živjeti u skladu s prirodom (Članovi koji će odustati) treba nam omogućiti da se razvije prošlosti neodržive metodama moderne civilizacije (Uzimalac). A tko zna, s dovoljno vremena, i dovoljno eko-centric Makers trenirao holistički svijest i duboko ekologiju, Mi još uvijek može postići stanje raja. Jedna stvar je sigurna, to se ne može postići ako se donošenjem priču koja je u sukobu sa svijetom. Izvor slike: Komentari Izvrstan članak!
