Where My Thesis Begins

To get to the point there are theories that as an organism, Planet Earth is reacting to human beings as a virus, a plague. And therefore natural disasters are occuring more often and are becoming more and more devastating. Pachamama, Mother Earth, to put it nicely, is quite upset. And as a species, the vast majority only seem to add to her fury, directly or indirectly. Scientists have been giving us the facts for years and yet we continue to turn our backs and choose to live a seemingly blissful life in a bubble where we do not think about or consider what we do not see in front of us. But this life, my loves, will not last forever. There are limits, and consumerism and on a larger scale corpratism and pushing these limits to an alarming and real breaking point. Our ways of life are sucking the life from our planet. We have been complacent to a system that  squanders our resources without thought or consideration to who will inherit this mess after us. So it is my mission to aid in the transition to a life where we are conscious of our actions, our impacts, and especially those we do not see. For we are not as disconnected as we may appear to be, on this big, beautiful planet of ours. We are but one, global community.

¨And now we have to see that the whole world is the community. And we must all take care of each other that way. It´s not just a community of human beings, it´s a community of plants, animals, and elements. And we really must understand that. That´s what´s going to bring us joy too. And pleasure. That´s what´s missing in our lives right now. We can call it spirituality, but the fact of the matter is joy comes from that bliss of connectedness.¨ - Quote from the second Zeitgeist movie series, Addundum.
With that said, a large part of my project- my experiment if you will, is to avoid the transaction of money. Money in the pursuit of self-interest is the single most motivating factor for this ongoing environmental destruction and social unrest around the world. Therefore it has become another part of my mission to avoid the exchange of money as best I can, subsituting it for whatever type of work or gift the good people of the world I encounter will allow for. It may seem impossible due to the fact we live in a monetary based economy where is the key factor in survival, however, I believe it is possible to steer away from it and still live a full if not and even fuller life.
So I wonder, is it possible to revert back to a simpler time? Free from material posessions, free of our egos? Can we adopt and transform to a life where we are not so easily spoiled by convenience? All I know is that we´ll do the best we can, with fervor and persistance. And most importantly forgiveness and healing, to ourselves and our home. All I can hope for is that this project will shed some light on a more conscious way of living so that we all may live a more harmoniously with nature and each other. All of us, for everyone, all together- one love.

With that I bid you good day, and may you feel the sunshine kiss your face and reconnect you to yourself and the universe.
