This post was inspired by two articles that I recently posted on Shattered Reality Podcast‘s fan page on Facebook.
The first article comes from the BBC and is entitled: Earth ‘entering new extinction phase’-US study. This article, frankly, makes all other news reports irrelevant and unimportant by comparison. You should click the link and read it for yourself, but briefly it outlines a Stanford, Princeton, and Berkeley study that states that Earth has begun the sixth mass extinction which will put an end to human kind and all large mammals, most birds and amphibians, due to human overpopulation, destruction of ecosystems and global warming. The loss of bees is particularly important. It is a very bleak picture indeed.
It is articles like this and being bombarded with news stories of humans perpetrating unconscionable acts on other humans, companion animals and the ecosystem that makes me frequently disgusted with, disappointed in, and wanting no part of the species to which I apparently belong. This is obviously not a good state of mind to be in, especially since it is most healthy to exist in a mental space of unconditional love. I spend much of my focused meditation time on projecting unconditional love to Our Planet Earth and the Sun and to numerous animal and plant species.
The second article: Evidence Group Consciousness May Have a Physical Effect on the World gives a little hope. Referencing the Roger Nelson’s PEAR (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research) studies with Random Event Generators, this article points out that individuals can have a physical effect on the generators, couples exert a larger effect and groups of cohesive individuals can have the biggest effect recorded. Please read this excellent article by Daniel Lew to better understand Random Number Generators and Random Event Generators.
The idea that we as a group could have a tangible effect on physical reality may be mind boggling to some, but it is also the predictible flowering of the fruit of quantum mechanics. Though the PEAR lab at Princeton closed a few years ago, Roger Nelson has continued with his work now called The Global Consciousness Project. This may be the most important consciousness research going on in the world right now and our last best hope to save ourselves. I personally want to learn more about it and so should you.
Addendum: This article in no way means to imply that every human on Earth should not do her and his best to be as ecologically aware as possible to preserve our environment the Earth.

I’ve been following the pollinator situation for a long time. I noticed a number of years ago, there were ever fewer moths and butterflies, and even common wildflowers, such as milkweed or Queen Anne’s Lace, had become difficult to find. The bees are primarily being killed by the use of neonics, which has been banned in many countries. This year, bee keepers lost something like 60% of their hives and many have gone out of business as it’s too expensive to replace half your hives every year. If you are a gardener, you can still grow plants native to the Americas, which often do not require the honeybee for pollination. However, all pollinators are dying off, not just the honeybees.

Thanks for the comment Rox. I know of bee keepers who have folded too. Sad state of affairs for sure. Do you have any solutions? Shut down Monsanto/Sygenta? How?

I think it will require a world-wide religious movement. Nothing less would provide the devotion that will be required in order to make massive changes in every sphere of our lives. This may actually occur, between the Pope rousing Catholics out of their sleep, and the efforts of Vandana Shiva, among others.
“If governments won’t solve the climate, hunger, health, and democracy crises, then the people will.” – Dr.Vandana Shiva, speaking at the founding meeting of Regeneration International, La Fortuna de San Carlos, Costa Rica, June 8, 2015
Roundup may be banned or, at least, restricted now it’s been declared a carcinogen, but don’t cheer yet. It’s being replaced by 2-4-d (Agent Orange).

Whatever it takes, it better happen quickly! Thanks for the thoughtful comment.

That is a powerfully accurate statement, and a feeling i certainly share. I wrote once in a post:
There’s an absurdity in calling oneself a humanist. The hat, which I’m proud to wear, solicits polarised emotions that are not easily reconciled. Here’s the rub: I loathe humanity, but at the same time I am also her greatest cheerleader. I’d build, without even a moment’s hesitation, an entire museum around a single human hand, and right next door I’d erect a mausoleum to house its pair. My heart beats faster every time I watch a space launch, and it breaks in two every time I turn on the News. I am at once amazed and horrified by our species

It is a classic love/hate relationship, is it not? Thanks, my good man, for the comment.

It is, regretfully. We can affect our little circles, and spread the good virus though, right? 🙂

Well we can try. So far it has been an uphill battle against the mass media which seeks to capture our minds with the present day version of bread and circuses. 😉
