If it is, it is only that because we do not feel nor act like an integrated part of the planet. Of course then, in both body and mind we become apart from it. Like cancer. But unlike cancer, we can change our nature. We can understand and in the understanding is healing. Both ours and the planets. Our ideologies, our thoughts are counter to life. We are today a force for destruction and death.

We can change that.

We say we are born into the world.

We never say we grow out of it.

Yet, it's the latter phrase that is actually true. Like apples on an apple tree, the Earth itself create us. We simply put, feel apart from the Earth. That is at the root of our problems. Perhaps, because of religion which tells us we are created not by Earth, but by a "something or other" which is not here.

Naturally then as a consequence, we do not feel like we belong.

And in the "not belonging" we develop cancerous tendencies.
