"Never be afraid of seeming radical. All the best...
The word radical, like the word radish, derives from rad, meaning “root.” A radical is someone who attempts to dig to the root of a situation. Effective change can occur only if you change a course of action from the causal point. Failure to understand this is why so many “liberating” revolutions of the past never elicited long-lasting, positive change. They dealt only with...

Ahimsa →
The “disease of disconnection” plagues the human condition. As a species, we are not at ease with ourselves - with our bodies, with our minds or with our feelings. We are not at ease with others - with other human beings as well as other animals. We can be nervous, competitive, fearful and worried; we crave respect and approval while simultaneously seeking dominance and power. We...

Regarding our violence against other beings: … humans have participated in wars and committed many atrocities against humans and nonhumans for thousands of years. Does looking back on our past evolution dictate our future evolution? What is the highest consciousness we can rise to? Could there be a better way?

We Are The Living Graves of Murdered Beasts -...
We are the living graves of murdered beasts, Slaughtered to satisfy our appetites. We never pause to wonder at our feasts, If animals, like men, can possibly have rights. We pray on Sundays that we may have light, To guide our footsteps on the path we tread. We’re sick of War, we do not want to fight – The thought of it now fills our hearts with dread, And yet – we gorge ourselves...
