better way of harvesting, managing, and distributing natural<br />
resources, a better way of communicating with one another<br />
and treating our fellow human beings, a better way of living<br />
as humans on this beautiful planet that is our home.<br />
The Earth is suffering, and this suffering needs to stop.<br />
But we cannot heal the world without first healing<br />
ourselves. We are not separate from the Earth, and the<br />
way that we interact with the Earth determines whether<br />
the Earth will thrive or deteriorate.<br />
This change is urgent, and the longer we take to evolve<br />
our perception, the more destruction our current<br />
perception will produce. There is no more room for war,<br />
oppression, injustice, slavery, pollution, or destruction.<br />
Humanity needs to evolve our way of life, and begin living<br />
a life led by love, community, kindness, and stewardship<br />
for the Earth. We are responsible for the state of the<br />
world, and we are the only ones that can heal the world.<br />
We cannot heal the planet without healing our<br />
damaged society, and we cannot heal our damaged society<br />
without first healing ourselves. Each of us needs to undo<br />
the conditioning that has shaped our behavior, and<br />
recondition ourselves to live life in a more peaceful way.<br />
Change will never come from thinking, wishing, or<br />
dreaming. Change will come from acting, doing, and living.<br />
Change will come when we realize that we have no choice<br />
but to evolve our way of life, or produce our own<br />
destruction. Change is not a process of staying the same while<br />
altering the world around us. Change is a process of personal<br />
effort and transformation. Change is something that we need<br />
to accomplish within ourselves—within our own minds, our<br />
own thoughts, and our own way of behaving with the world.<br />
Change is a process of letting go of the past and embracing<br />
the present. Real change will only happen when we realize<br />
how connected we are to one another, when we realize that<br />
“I” and the “other” are not separate, and that we are all in this<br />
together. Real change will only come when we awaken from<br />
the illusion of separation, and realize our oneness.<br />
