How wonderful!

Your wisdom is ancient, deep, and timeless, Suzanne. A mushroom trip I experience in Yosemite, around the same time as yours, was similarly powerful and life-changing. It showed me that my destiny was not that of the Zen master sitting in seclusion on the mountaintop, but rather here in rough-and-tumble of the marketplace.

I'd think psychedelics in the water supply could wake the world up! With the understanding of non-dual awareness (i.e. enlightenment), that we both are tuned into, being what you help people realize without substance, they can pick up on what you do at your Thursday Zooms: https://jimdreaver.com/.

I loved your description of your cosmic awakening. I had my first experience of that in your living room in the 1980.

With our crazy guru, Barry Tellman, I bet. Now that we can look back we see that it was the era of crazy gurus, and he sure was a mixed bag. Any details about your experience you can deliver?

Dear Suzanne, you might appreciate the concept of the UN Charter for Ecological Justice. https://poemsforparliament.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Charter_07.pdf

This 5 minute animation is an introduction to the Roadmap to Ecological Justice. https://youtu.be/yyEEJGoaLd4

Thanks so much for these presentations. With all the care put into them and all their clarity about the danger we are in, they got me thinking about how well-informed we are now about what's wrong, where everyone knows we are in trouble. What we need is the impetus to change course. That's what to be talking about -- and where adopting the Universe Story would come in!

That goes along with what I think of as the primary position to be in, which is acceptance. Being in the now, whatever it is -- before any action to change things.

The 'do no harm' is nigh on impossible for anyone alive right now. Especially with an ecocidal global economic system dedicated to growth of all three of the I=PAT drivers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_%3D_PAT

I have approached a lawyer today with a view to suing the government for their ecocidal economic model.

This has veered off anything I am focused on and I don't want to continue this rambling. I'll leave this here so people can understand what happened, but If you do any more of it I'll delete this post and our exchanging will have ended.
