LL] And a final thought from you, Brother Spirit, then.
[BS] Thank you, I think, uhm, one of the things that I can tap into at any moment is my sense of connectedness. So we all get interdependent, right? Interdependence, now, I think is well-understood especially in the climate movement. If you've studied any kind of, you know, science, you know that we're all completely inextricably interconnected. But what I'd like to propose is that we start to find practical ways to take that from a kind of intellectual "Yes, I get it" to a felt experience of deep interconnection and what we would call "non-self", or more than self. So despite the fact that we get it intellectually, I think we're still operating within a paradigm of separation If we stay in that paradigm, we're just gonna reproduce the same kind of system that's giving rise to the current crisis. So this is critical for us. So to give an example, like I'm sitting here but I'm not alone. What you see here is just the, sort of, it's like the fruit body of mycelial network. You just see the mushroom, but underneath there's a vast network. So for me I can connect instantly with my brothers & sisters back home, hundreds of them. Uh you know, we're just the tip of the branch and behind us is the tree, the roots, the rhizome, and the ancestors. So that's in space, with all of the natural systems that support us. I'm not just human. I'm the trees. I'm the living biosphere. And we all are. So that's in space. But also in time. In the axis of time, I can connect and ask for support from my parents. You know they're here with me now. I can ask for support from all my ancestors, all the way back through the lineage, human and non-human. I can ask for support from my teacher, and from his teachers, and the whole lineage of practitioners who have cultivated love and wisdom of over thousands of years. And that's actually what permits us to be here and to keep our freshness, and to keep our love and to help us when it gets hard. And we can tap into that, anybody can tap into that, it's not difficult. But we need to think about how we can spread that knowledge. Spread that, share that technology. Like Melatti was saying, we could have a hour a day mandated for every school child of environmental awareness education, but maybe five or ten minutes of that hour should be how to take care of yourself. How to take care of your feelings. How to take care of each other. Because we can't do this alone. We have to be a community. And that community has to be a meaningful community where we can really offer each other the kind of support that we need. [LL] Thank you brothers, thank you for being here with us tonight and thank you for being present at COP26 and for all that you're doing.
