The "Death of Birth" and Losing Nature
We are less human if we forget to nurture our nature connection.
|
|
The species apocalypse taking place now is not so disturbing if you have been trained over and over to perceive many insects and animals as “pests” to be exterminated rather than treated as partners in the ecosystem. Pouring toxins on gardens and yards seems reasonable in this “us-against-nature”
worldview
The IPBES report notes that humanity’s current practices are eroding the very foundations of human economies, food security, livelihoods, health, and quality of life all over the world. In every neighborhood, “transformative changes” are needed to restore and protect nature.

The Path to Healing
By
Ariel Niforatos
...the destructive and isolating tendencies of a self-protective mindset can be overcome through learning developmental ethical ecological practice (DEEP). By having a balance of self-initiative and at least one supportive mentor to guide one’s progress to moral healing, DEEP can be achieved. What this means is that not only should we ask for help when we find ourselves falling into self-protective tendencies but it also means that we need to be constantly aware of how our actions affect other people and be willing to be that mentor to someone who wants to shift her/his mindset.

Indigenous Sustainable Wisdom
First-Nation Know-How for Global Flourishing
Edited By Darcia Narvaez, Four Arrows (Don Trent Jacobs), Eugene Halton, Brian S Collier and Georges Enderle
Contributors describe ways of being in the world that reflect a worldview that guided humanity for 99% of human history: They describe the practical traditional wisdom that stems from Nature-based relational cultures that were or are guided by this worldview. Such cultures did not cause the kinds of anti-Nature and de-humanizing or inequitable policies and practices that now pervade our world. Far from romanticizing Indigenous histories, Indigenous Sustainable Wisdom offers facts about how human beings, with our potential for good and evil behaviors, can live in relative harmony again. Contributions cover views from anthropology, psychology, sociology, leadership, native science, native history, and native art.
