Oneness

Oneness
for organic food, or risk going out of business. It is the
same for any market.
The consumers determine the markets, not the
producers. If we all demanded that companies practice
sustainable methods of production, and stood firm in our
demands by only buying products from sustainable
producers, all other producers would have to evolve their
production methods or risk the collapse of their company.
Voting with your dollar is a very powerful way to
determine how things are produced in our society, but it is
even more powerful to reduce your need for consumption,
and instead produce your own food by respectfully
working with the earth.
Humanity needs to return to nature. We live in artificial
environments, separated from the earth with concrete,
skyscrapers, and roads. Our physical disconnection from
nature has produced a spiritual disconnection from nature
as well. We no longer see and feel our oneness with the
Earth and all of the life that it supports.
In order to restore our connection with nature, we
need to live closer to nature, and experience firsthand how
nature is our provider; how the Earth is our mother. We
cannot proceed to live such unnatural lifestyles and expect
this not to have an effect on the Earth.
Reconnecting with nature is a step that humanity must
take, but it has to be taken individually, by each one of us. We
cannot preach about the need for sustainability yet continue
to lead unsustainable lives. No matter how many good
thoughts we think, no matter how many good words we say,
no matter how good our intentions may be, ultimately our
actions determine what is to come of our society.
