"You are not a separate being. You belong to the living body of Earth. You are the Earth, becoming conscious of itself."
-Joanna Macy (1929 - 2025)

"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make”

Musings and Meditations

A series of blog posts with short and sometimes somewhat longer reflections, musings, and all sorts of ideas, with an emphasis on hope and the possibility of a better world.

"The most radical thing any of us can do at this time is to be fully present to what is happening in the world."
- Joanna Macy (1929 - 2025)

"No problem can be solved from the consciousness that created that problem."
- Albert Einstein

Walkie-Talkies

A series of short videos in which I talk while walking in nature, without a script, about all kinds of topics covered in A Biosphere Project, with an emphasis on new ways of looking at reality and ourselves.

"It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey."
- Wendell Berry

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

- Margaret Mead

Two-hour presentation by Nate Hagens on the meta-crisis, the coming Great Simplification, and possible paths to a better world. A fascinating lecture by one of the world's leading experts on the ecological crisis, energy, the financial system, and the other systems that keep our global technological “superorganism” running.

From the post 'The Great Simplification - A Biosphere Project Blog'

“We can however still change direction. But the only way that I can see of our effectively changing direction is through a

transformation of the feeling that we have of our own existence

and of what we mean by the word ‘I’. “

-Alan Watts

 “And since new ideas will not come if their entry into the mind is subject to conformity with our old ones and with what we call common sense, this demands of the reader - as it demanded of the author - a willing suspension of common sense.”
-Norman O. Brown

"Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror."
- Kahlin Gibran

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.”
-Chief Seattle
​

"We are beginning to see the entire universe as a holographically interlinked network of energy and information, organically whole and self referential at all scales of its existence. We, and all things in the universe, are non-locally connected with each other and with all other things in ways that are unfettered by the hitherto known limitations of space and time." 
-Ervin Laszlo
