A New Level Of Consciousness by John Perkins

John Perkins, co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance, discusses the prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor, an indigenous prophecy told by first peoples all

John Perkins, co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance, discusses the prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor, an indigenous prophecy told by first peoples all over the world about a time dominated by an intellectual, masculine, mind-driven consciousness, which is followed by an opportunity for balance between that consciousness and one that is heart-driven, intuitive and feminine. It is a call for a shift in humanity's relationship to the Earth and our relationship to each other. According to the prophecy, that time is now.

The prophecy only mentions the opportunity for this balance, making it a call for a shift in humanity's relationship to the Earth and our relationship to each other. It's up to us to bring forth this new level of consciousness by raising awareness and taking action for the planet and all life on Earth. We must live everyday as if it was Earth Day.

At #COP28 in Dubai, Raya Salter and Carlos Garcia host a panel of experts to examine the impact of #MilitaryOperations on the climate. At a time when humanity needs to focus on the restoration of land and water, wars around the planet are destroying cities, lives and ecosystems. Peace is essential for keeping the climate system from catastrophic failure. Tamara Lorincz tells us the amount of money that flows to military operations, and its resource extraction, is over two trillion dollars annually. While Dr. Amara Eniya explains how debt, compunded by droughts and floods that are the direct result of the #ClimateCrisis, is crippling many nations who struggle to provide for the basic needs of their people. John D. Liu is the voice of Commonland, the restoration efforts that are being accomplished around the world, bringing back land and hydrological cycles.

COP has shown that endlessly discussing how to mitigate and adapt to human induced climate change is a failed process. Instead we need to effectively act as a species on a planetary scale to restore natural ecological function. With over 80 large restoration projects around the world, John D. Liu is working with thousands of people to do just that. Nick Breeze, author of COPOUT, and John explore dynamic possibilities for protecting earth’s vital systems. An inspiring clip from the film, The Flourishing Path, with #JaneGoodall is included in this program from COP29 in Baku.

In this lyrical exploration, John Todd shares the essential principles of ecological design and reveals how mimicking nature’s forms and processes can lead to breakthrough design. He reveals the design secrets behind his award-winning eco-industrial park in Burlington, Vermont, and his strategies to clean up bodies of water from the marshes around Lake Champlain to the canals of Venice and South China. The main allies in his natural sewage treatment systems are native plants that help grow and feed bacteria, break down carcinogens, and sequester metals to produce clean water. His job is not to find a simple solution, but to evolve a technological and social framework that functions like a symphonic movement.

This talk was given at the 2002 Bioneers National Conference and is part of the Ecological Design Collection, Vol. 1. 

Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.

Governments, locked in global competition, are disabled by the paradigm of economic growth, as they vie to entice corporations and industries with low taxes and subsidies. How can this fear of taking the right action, and being at a disadvantage, be overcome? John Bunzl offers The SIMPOL pledge to be signed by citizens who agree to vote for those politicians who have themselves signed the pledge to act simultaneously when enough nations are on board. Executives of corporations can also sign on, and commit to lowering their emissions. Together with NIck Duffell, he co authored The SIMPOL Solution, which explores the psychology, as well as the political and economic traps, that have prevented us from dealing with the #ClimateCrisis. To find out more and to take the pledge (citizens and politicians) https://simpol.org/ Businesses: https://www.theclimatepledge.com/us/en/join The book, #TheSimpolSolution is available at: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-simpol-solution-john-bunzl/1126997626 and on Amazon Host, Dale Walkonen Edited by Mike Coe For more information on the state of our planet, visit the FacingFuture Library at https://facingfuture.earth/library.
