Many people are asking if overpopulation will break the planet, a fear compounded by the lack of attention given to the issue by elected officials.

Crowd

Panicked discussions of the climate crisis on this stressed planet are often bolstered by background debate on how fast the Earth’s population is growing, and questions of how many people the planet can support. To be sure, a sevenfold increase of the world population over two centuries has stressed the planet to its breaking point.

Compleletely false and totally misleading! It is the destructive mismanagement of our resources that is the source of habitat loss, environmental destruction and lack of ecological sustainability. NOT population growth.

We need to replace the current paradigm with one where the planning and management of our society is not under the control of greedy corporations and bought politicians supplying a self-interested and selfish mass of unthinking purchasers.

This will take a huge change in the ethic level of a large number of people.

Let’s start!

Peace!

Peace!

Wishing you the peace and serenity of the countryside, the patience of nature, the drive of the rivers and oceans and the wisdom to know when to apply each.

A shaman was asked:

What is poison?
– Anything beyond what we need is poison.
It can be power, laziness, food, ego, ambition, vanity, fear, anger, or whatever.

What is fear?
– Non-acceptance of uncertainty.
If we accept uncertainty, it becomes adventure.

What is envy?
– Non-acceptance of good in the other.
If we accept good, it becomes inspiration.

What is anger?
– Non-acceptance of what is beyond our control.
If we accept, it becomes tolerance.

What is hate?
– Non-acceptance of people as they are.
If we accept unconditionally, it becomes love.

Government Is A Failure

Government Is A Failure

This applies equally here in Oz!

Reject raising the GST to 12.5% and reject applying it more broadly. Reject a continuous increase of the tax base, a continuous progression towards a greater degree of slavery and more hiding and less accountability for those who are supposed to work for our best interests!
