Earth Gazer

One of the issues that I'm exploring and reading about currently, is what would someone do when presented with a fact or concept that they totally accepted, but in doing so, it then exposes a hypocrasy within their current way of life? In other words, what is a person's 'tipping point'? In a previous article, I included a video showing Julia Butterfly Hill talking about Disposability Consciousness , and since then, I've discovered that for 738 days between December 10, 1997 and December 18, 1999, Julia Butterfly Hill lived in the canopy of an ancient redwood tree, called Luna, to help make the world aware of the plight of ancient forests and deforestation. Luna was over 1,000 years old and 200 ft tall. “When I entered the majestic cathedral of the redwood forest for the first time, my spirit knew it had found what it was searching for.

Great and passionate video of Julia Butterfly Hill . She talks about 'separation syndrome' as in we are able to think of ourselves as separate from nature, separate from where resources are taken from and separate from where we dump our 'waste', creating a 'Disposability Consciousness'. She spoke with many native tribes and asked whether they had any native words for 'waste, disposable or trash' - they did not, because all traditional knowledge knows that there is no such thing. Some key quotes that I got from the video are: "When you say you are going to throw something 'away' , where is 'away' ?" "It's only called waste if you're not using it properly"  "We cannot have peace on the earth, unless we also have peace with the earth"  "Our disposability consciousness is a weapon of mass destruction"
