Good stuff, this: Ecoshamanisim, a Talk with James Endredy, at Reality Sandwich. I especially like this last part, where interviewer William McGillis asks Endredy if he has any final thoughts:
Our task right now is to get back into the flow of creation. What that means at a practical level is this: Ask yourself throughout your day this question – Is what I’m doing right now flowing with creation or am I involved in perpetuating anti-creation?
We flow with creation when we live lightly, sustainably, and when we use our energy to work at solutions that can help our society transform into flowing with creation. We anti-create when we support in our work or in our purchases the anti-creative actions of taking from the earth at a faster rate than the earth can create. Harvesting trees, oil, and coal at a rate faster than they can be created are a few big examples. Anti-creation is a cornerstone of our modern civilization. But it doesn’t have to be. The most important thing I can share is that the time for blame is over. I believe we humans have developed technologies of anti-creation so that we can now evolve into more kind and caring people. This is our initiation into adulthood. I believe we will pass through it. Do you?
My emphasis above. Strikes a chord, kinda. What follows that may be a little hard for lazy minds to grasp, but it’s worth the attempt.
