Absolutely!
The cosmological context of the universe itself, and it’s story of unfolding, is an essential context for the eco-climate-extinction crisis & our transition to an Ecological Era… something I learned from my mentor, Thomas Berry (@EssentialBerry).

No matter how many times I read Thomas Berry’s essay, “The New Story,” it never gets any less stunning.

The Dream of the Earth, by Thomas Berry (@EssentialBerry)
The Trumpet of Conscience, by Martin Luther King Jr. (@mlk_institute)
Essential Berry retweeted
Yes. IMAGINATION. The poetic impulse. The artistic vision. The creative capacity.
These are KEY to social change, cultural transformation, global nonviolent revolution.
As Thomas Berry (@EssentialBerry) said (following Jung), "the dream drives the action.

As Thomas Berry (@EssentialBerry) & Brian Swimme put it, the story of the universe is encoded in the universe itself—in every raindrop, shining leave, quavering atom, layer of stone.
Deep time & the cosmic narrative reveal themselves in every phenomenon of the Earth & universe.

“Virtually all the ceremonial monuments constructed in Britain and Ireland between 3000 and 1500 BC were circles of one kind or another.”
“I would argue that this constant emphasis on the circle reflects a shared perception of the world – a prehistoric #cosmology.”

I started The Human Cosmos, by @JoMarchant last night.
It's really fabulous!
I wonder if she's read any Thomas Berry (@EssentialBerry) or Brian Swimme?

The vision of the Earth as a single sacred organism floating in the graceful embrace of the cosmos is the supreme ethical event of our times.

The reason Climate Change is the #1 issue is because :
"Ecology is not a part of economics
Economics is a part of ecology
Ecology is not a part of religion
Religion is apart of ecology
Ecology is not a part of education
Education is a part of ecology"
