Self-Reflexive Consciousness
This is the most amazing time to be a human in planet Earth;
right now, right now this time we're living
Joanna Macy - San Francisco-, California, Eco-philosopher and Activist
because there are activities that we have unleashed--
forces that are having such an impact on the living systems,
biological systems, ecosystems, of our planet.
And we can either let them proceed unchecked
or we can turn and bring in our creativity
and our passion for life.
And we can see that life goes on on this exquisite, unrepeatable planet.
But we have that opportunity with that amazing gift we have
to choose where we put our mind.
That's called self-reflexive consciousness.
But at any rate, we do have that.
And we can take part in an amazing adventure
that even our ancestors couldn't have foreseen.
There are different names for it. It's a revolution.
Some say it's the third revolution of our human story,
as big in scope and magnitude as the agricultural revolution,
as huge in its effect as the industrial revolution.
Now in just these few years we have to create and facilitate a transition
to a life-sustaining society as the forces of the industrial growth society
go out of control.
So, what a time to be alive.
And each of us has something incredible to bring to that.
I am convinced of that.
