3. Change begins at home Use less, consume less, waste less. Produce and circulate less garbage. This simple moral imperative shows the way to deeper liberation. Learning - and most importantly, teaching our children - how to discriminate modest reality from drunken manipulation is the highest art. Communications technology is the singlemost trend worth keeping up to date with, because this is more than just service consumption but an education in itself. Work less, earn less, buy less, and win back your own lifetime. And your family - have them value you, and not what you own. Have them consequently value themselves, and their minds, ahead of material goods and poisons and the physical force that wins them. Basic principle: 'until all the world can informedly access it, we should be prepared to refuse it.' |
Green Future offers a practical programme for connecting the Green politics of today with a salvaged, surviveable ecosystem of the near Future. Self-belief springs internal, where abstracted being is but the most common delusion. Many will suffer this as pain when the credit bubble inevitably bursts. Many will lose their homes, their jobs, their external security, their psychological framework, their emotional base. Now is the time to prepare the alternate society, rebuilding community networks as the proven insurance against devastating economic depression. To consume is to be consumed - remember that above all. We are not things, and objects are not us. Hone the inner and outer consciousness. Accumulate wisdom - shared spiritual value - instead of material goods. |
