To embrace the Earth as truly alive is a step too far even for many committed environmentalists, writes Charles Eisenstein: worried that others may perceive us as unscientific, childish, woolly-headed and ridiculous. But it's a step we must take: in refusing to recognise the living Gaia that is both our creator and our home, we accept and perpetuate the philosophy of her destroyers.
Do we need big solutions to big problems? Charles Eisenstein challenges the logic of 'bigness' and looks for answers in the principles of 'interbeing'.
Some things are beyond measure and beyond price, writes Charles Eisenstein. No amount of money is enough to compensate for the loss of the sacred or the essential - and to pretend that it is, is to capitulate to the very mentality that is driving the destruction of the biosphere.
Our current approach to climate change is strengthening the ideological substructure that is devouring our planet. Charles Eisenstein urges us to tackle the problem at a fundamental level and to focus on the health of humans and natural systems.
Charles Eisenstein shares his concerns about how pervasive the 'technology will fix it' mentality has become, and proposes an entirely different approach to healing our current ecological and social crises.
