Home Sweet Home
After watching last night’s eclipse, I’m reminded that we are all in this together. We’ve got one planet to live on, planetary health and personal health are deeply connected.
I found this in a booklet by Edward Esko, a teacher of macrobiotics. These 7 instructions are derived from the Seven Universal Prinicples of the Infinite Universe described by Michio Kushi in the The Book of Macrobiotics.
1. We all share and are nourished by one planet, the Earth.
2. By changing our diet and lifestyle, we have the power to change the environmental crisis into an opportunity for planetary healing and renewal.
3. The environmental crisis challenges all people to put aside their differences and unite to save the earth.
4. The environmental crisis offers a unique opportunity to establish heaven and peace on a planetary scale.
5. The environmental crisis is the downside to the modern preoccupation with material prosperity, comfort, and convenience, including the modern diet.
6. The greater the threat of environmental destruction, the greater the need for personal reflection and change.
7. The misues of technology has reached its limit; a planetary revolution in consciousness, guided by the desire to live in harmony with the environment, is about to begin.
