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

By 0 , , Permalink

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. Long hours of work to buy stuff that we really do not need but feel compelled to purchase. This fallacy of consumerism equals ...

Cultural Insanity / Kultureller Wahnsinn / Insanidade Cultural / Locura Cultural

By 0 , Permalink

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. The further science, technology and Human evolution take us the more questions we have about the nature of reality and the role of Consciousness. Is this a hologram or an illusion? Are we dreaming or in a simulation? Do ...

How to stop the War / Wie man den Krieg Beendet / Como parar a Guerra / Cómo parar la Guerra

'War is Over' challenges you: How can you say you hate war and fighting in the World when you permit it, even embrace it,  in your own life. 'War is Over' challenges you to make peace with people: living or dead, present or past. And not just wish for peace or pray for peace: make peace. It is ...

Come home to who you really Are / Komm nach Hause, wer Du wircklich Bist / Venha para casa, para quem Você realemente É / Ven a casa a quien realmente Eres

When who we are and what we do are not in alignment, we suffer and cause the suffering of others. A more beautiful and sustainable World awaits us once we align our actions with what does not cause suffering. Being who you really are is different from what you do, whom you are with or even what ...

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. Fishing quotas mean that fishermen targeting a particular species or size of fish will throw back any ‘non-target’ or ‘too small’ fish that ...

You live on this Rock / Du lebst auf diesem Fels / Você mora nessa Rocha / Vives en esta Roca

The Human mind is simply not capable of understanding the scale of our insignificance. It is magical thinking and delusion to believe that we can. Our minds think linearly, and the only way to come close to conceptualizing the scale of our universe is to use multiple exponential scales. We are not designed to process information ...

More than 90% of all species that arose since life began on Earth 3.8 billion years ago are extinct. Modern Humans arose about 200,000 years ago. We are different from all preceding species in that we are self-consciously intelligent but does that mean that our fate is different to that of the 90% already extinct. Our survival depends ...

As a Human being in the 21st century, the challenge to remain conscious, to obtain and maintain self-Awareness, is greater than at any other time in history.

Case of Naturalism / Fall von Naturalismus / Caso do Naturalismo / Caso del Naturalismo

By 0 , , Permalink

Something we learned by doing science for 400 years is something called Naturalism, the idea that there is only one reality; that there are not separate planes of the natural and the supernatural; that there is only one material existence; that we are part of the universe and do not stand outside of it in any way. ...

What makes us Human / Was macht uns Menschlich / O que nos torna Humanos / Lo que nos hace Humanos

We have an immense capacity for good. At the same time we risk driving our closest relatives to extinction and destroying the only planet we have ever called home. Humans and chimpanzees diverged from a common ancestor more than six million years ago. Fossil evidence points to the way how we have changed. We left the ...

Our Society has definitely become masters at increasing the amount of things we can measure - more and more money, more and more floor space per capita, more and more GDP, and less and less of the things that we can’t measure - how happy we are, levels of intimacy, the authenticity of our communication, ...
