Belonging

Belonging, Oneness, Diversity


By Brian Smith

A friend sent over a wonderful resource in Quantum Shift TV.  Here's an intro to one video:
Mathis Wackernagel - Our Collective Survival
The Global Oneness Project was created to discover and document the diverse ways in which the emerging consciousness of oneness is impacting people's lives. We are traveling worldwide with a small camera crew, asking for the insights about oneness.

Mathis Wackernagel, co-creator of the Ecological Footprint, explains how industrial society treats land as something that belongs to us, and asks, how can we shift back to “belonging to the land”? Despite the economic pressures of our current system, he says, we need to reframe the way we work with the ecological world so that we can benefit life as a whole.


And another good video:
Peaceworker Rabia Elizabeth Roberts explains how the idea of oneness does not lessen diversity, but rather expands one's viewpoint. From this vantage point, Rabia asks, do we really have as many enemies as we think we do?
