Prayer that has roots, seed and wings

"The way we see the world shapes
the way we treat it.

If a mountain
is a deity, not a pile of ore;

if a river is one of the veins of the
land, not potential irrigation water;

if a forest is a sacred grove, not timber;

if other species are our
biological kin, not resources;

or if the planet is our mother,
not an opportunity - then we will
treat each one with greater respect.

That is the challenge, to look at the world from a different perspective."

- David Suzuki

“I’m no longer interested in any forms of spirituality, self mastery programs, success mentors, coaches, healers, spiritual thinkers, or activists that don’t ultimately lead their communities back to responsible association to tending the Earth.

The never ending quest for self-realisation, personal brand mastery, self-success “soul”-preneurship all strike me as bypasses that have only served to keep us disassociated from what’s actually going on here.

Which requires us to exit the cult of individual success, whether seen through foggy spiritualized goggles or not, and get our hands dirty in the immediacy of our grounded environmental issues around us.

The world dies while we buy in to yet another charismatic voice telling us how to heal some yet unmastered part of ourselves even more deeply into narcissistic individual “success.”

The world dies while charismatics make millions on their self help platforms. Sure.. and for that matter. Please: do your personal healing.

But if my healing only keeps looping back to myself, and doesn’t ultimately lead to reassociation with the Earth and my work to be part of it, then I’m just a casualty of healing-themed consumerism. And still contributing to the problems that are destroying the planet.”

An interesting podcast on how 'narrative' therapy works

We all tell stories about ourselves, often without realizing we’re doing so. How we frame those stories can profoundly shape our lives. In the kickoff episode to our monthlong series on healing, psychologist Jonathan Adler shares how to tell our stories in ways that enhance our wellbeing.
