Community Of Beings

Alejandro Garcia

“Treat a stone like a plant, a plant like an animal, and an animal like a human.”

— Choctaw saying

“Speaking in creation’s tongues, hearing creation’s voices, the boundary of our soul expands. Earth has many, many voices. Those who understand that Earth is a living being know this because they have translated themselves to the humble grasses and old trees. They know that Earth is a community that is constantly talking to itself, a communicating universe and whether we know it or not, we are participating in the web of this community.”

— The Fruitful Darkness

To heal means to “make whole,” and when we feel whole we are in touch with the whole world. When in touch with our underlying soul, we are naturally in touch with nature and the Soul of the World. We are the missing ingredient in the solutions needed for all that ails us, if we but awaken to the nature of our own souls.”

- Michael Meade, “Awakening the Soul”

“Culture is for the convenience of various institutions, churches, companies, and tax collection schemes. It is not your friend. It insults you. It disempowers you. It uses and abuses you. None of us are well-treated by culture.”
