- Our Earth is Alive. It is our body.
- Our true nature is far more ancient and encompassing than the separate self designed by habit and Western Society.
- The Planet as a living system can know and see itself through us, behold its own majesty, tell its own stories and also respond to its own suffering.
- Our experience of moral pain for our world springs from our interconnectedness with all beings – including beings of all human cultures – from which also arise our powers to act on their behalf.
- Unblocking occurs when our pain for the world is not only intellectually validated, but also experienced and expressed.
- When we reconnect with life, by willingly enduring our pain for it, the mind retrieves it natural clarity.
- The experience of reconnection with the Earth community, human and other-than-human, arouses desire to act on its behalf.
