The Spirit Movement
~Let~the Spirit~Move You~
All I'm saying is simply this, that all life is interrelated, that somehow we're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
There are countless issues in our world that people wish they could do something about, such as global: poverty, hunger, homelessness, corporate and individual greed, government corruption, environmental degradation, war, animal cruelty, bullying, depression, anger.... What if there is a solution, not for "just one thing", but for all things.
Maybe some of the solutions we need are pretty simple, such as more Balance. Are there ways that perhaps humanity has been living out of balance with our planet? If each of us focus on Healing ourselves, we are doing something for the betterment of All. As we find inner peace, we grow closer to Living in harmony with our planet.
Choosing to Prioritize Planet and People over profits ultimately makes sense. We can ascribe value in healthy ways, understanding that we are One. Rather than continue to choose capitalistic, profit driven, ill-conserved, planetary resource use, we can choose health for the planet and people over profits at any "cost".
One voice, One Planet.
We can no longer ignore how modern industries are consuming non-renewable resources. We cannot continue to use the Earth as though she is a resource to be consumed. She is a Living, Conscious Being ~ deserving of love, respect and reverence.
It is time to reconnect with our deep reverence and love for our planet, Mother Earth. We shall pledge to build sustainable societies, systems and structures. We will prove that humanity can once again live in harmony and balance with our one and only planet, Mother Earth.
Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.
What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.
― Mahatma Gandhi
The Inspiration
The Movement
A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest-- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Nationalism is an infantile sickness. It is the measles of the human race.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.
― Albert Einstein
