The World has devolved into a culture of dissociation, where we as a people have become estranged from our natural World, from community, from our bodies, from our creativity, from the mystery. You are hurrying through your life, receiving information and entertainment mediated by electronics, driving past each other to get home, eating mass-produced food grown ...
What I am involves what you Are / Was ich bin beinhaltet was du Bist / O que eu sou envolve o que você É / Lo que soy implica lo que Eres
The Earth is not a big rock, infested with living organisms, any more than your skeleton is bones infested with cells. The Earth is geological, yes, but this geological entity grows people. And our existence on the Earth is a symptom of the solar system and its balances as much as the solar system in turn ...
Waiting for the right Time / Auf die richtige Zeit Warten / Esperando a hora Certa / Esperando el momento Adecuado
Stop longing for something better to happen, to have more than you own or to be someone else, somewhere else. There is never a perfect time for you to take action. There is never a perfect time for you to launch that project, to spend time with your family, to write a book, change your ...
Your life is your Making / Dein Leben ist Deine Schöpfung / Sua vida é sua Criação / Tu vida es tu Creación
This is your life. No one is forcing you to do anything that you do not want to do. No one is forcing you to live a lie. No one is making you go and do a job that you do not want to do. You have the choice to live life on your own terms. You seem to ...
2011-12-15 Houston, USA / God is not Great / Gott is nicht Grossartig / Deus não é Grande / Dios no es Bueno
Religion comes from the period of Human prehistory where nobody had the smallest idea what was going on.

Today the least educated children know much more about the natural order than any of the founders of ...

The system is our Enemy / Das System ist unser Feind / O sistema é nosso inimigo / El sistema es nuestro Enemigo
Capitalism is the worst enemy of humanity and if we do not change the model, if we do not change the system, then our presence here on Earth, our debate about change, our exchange of ideas, and the proposals that we make for a more sustainable World will be totally in vain. Capitalism has twins, the ...
Rich people are poor people with Money / Reiche sind arme Leute mit Geld / Ricos são pobres com Dinheiro / Ricos son pobres con dinero
Some of the most miserable people are worth hundreds of millions. They perpetuate toxicity, narcissism, and a sense of lack that makes it difficult to spend any meaningful time with them or connect on a human level. They focus on maintaining or growing their wealth not on expressing gratitude for what they have, or considering ways to ...

Create the reality in which you Live / Erschaffe die Realität in der Du lebst / Crie a realidade em que você Vive / Crea la realidad en la que Vives
Subatomic particles are potentially everything and nothing at the same time until they are observed. They exist both everywhere and nowhere until they are observed. Therefore, everything in our physical reality exists as pure potential. If they can exist simultaneously in an infinity of possible places, we are potentially able to unfold into an infinity of possible ...
Freedom from Consumerism / Freiheit vom Konsum / Liberdade do Consumismo / Libertad del Consumismo
The collective unconsciousness of mankind itself is sick. We exist in a World wherein a negative biofeedback loop broadcasts in constancy; we have created a culture which in itself is sick enough to infect generations which have not yet been born. So, how to begin an approach toward an illness so effective, so evasive, modern Society has ...

Sustainable Happiness / Nachhaltiges Glück / Felicidade Sustentavel / Felicidad Sostenible
We seem to have lost our way where happiness is concerned. Over the last hundred years, we have become confused about how to create happines in our lives and we are miserable for it.

Cultural Insanity / Kultureller Wahnsinn / Insanidade Cultural / Locura Cultural
While cultural norms are by definition ‘normal’, they are by no means always sane and healthy. The term ‘cultural insanity’ refers to normative templates that have become so counter-productive and self-defeating, or so misaligned to our basic Human needs, that they stand to undo Society or its life supports. In fact, normality can be the deadliest of ...
Question Reality / Realität in Frage Stellen / Questionando Realidade / Cuestionando Realidad
Physics and philosophy have changed our perspective on the nature of the universe, matter, and mind over time.

More equal than Others / Mehr gleich als Andere / Mais igual que os Outros / Más igual que Otros
The consumption of meat increases, the animals are transported for days or weeks to death, meat remains cheap, the meat mafia goes richer. Many say that is capitalism. But in the countries of the so-called real socialism, there has also been mass animal husbandry under dire conditions. Carelessness and cruelty seem to be the basic moral ...
The last Memory / Die letzte Erinnerung / A última Memória / La última Memoria
Wherever there is fishing, there is bycatch. Globally, it is estimated that a quarter of what is caught is wasted – thrown back into the sea dead because it has no commercial value.
