Book cover for A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
Whatever behavior the ego manifests, the hidden motivating force is always the same: the need to stand out, be special, be in control; the need for power, for attention, for more. And, of course, the need to feel a sense of separation, that ...more

“Most people in the world do not fly in airplanes. 2˚C and mitigation are not about population. It is about US, the biggest consumers, reducing our consumption and emissions immediately.”
Dean Walker, The Impossible Conversation: Choosing Reconnection and Resilience at the End of Business as Usual

Audre Lorde
“You do not have to be me in order for us to fight alongside each other. I do not have to be you to recognize that our wars are the same. What we must do is commit ourselves to some future that can include each other and to work toward that future with the particular strengths of our individual identities. And in order for us to do this, we must allow each other our differences at the same time as we recognize our sameness.”
Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

“We have been led to identify ourselves with our destructive side - and that which we have become identified, we overvalue and empower. This has been happening for many generations, reinforcing this harmful image of ourselves.”
Arkan Lushwala, The Time of the Black Jaguar: An Offering of Indigenous Wisdom for the Continuity of Life on Earth

“This is the work that we all have done everything in our power to avoid.”
Dean Walker, The Impossible Conversation: Choosing Reconnection and Resilience at the End of Business as Usual

“The definition of “power” we have embraced as a result of our enculturation in an industrial growth society serves only to destroy us and the Earth community. When we are willing to mine the dark gold of the personal shadow, our definition of power is transformed by love. When we can come to love what the ego considers the worst in us, we become mercifully and skillfully equipped to love what appears unlovable and intolerable in our world.”
Carolyn Baker, Dark Gold: The Human Shadow and the Global Crisis
