We are already radically remaking our environment, but in chaotic and misdirected ways. As a people we are lost, lacking coherent and positive collective vision. Our civilization's spirituality languishes in the Dark Ages of egocentrism and self service. Spite and greed are taught as virtues in our law and business schools. Science has become so stratified, overspecialized, politically constrained and arid that it repels the masses, leaving us to dwell on such not-so-pithy matters as product diversity and watching other people be athletic. Technological progress seems only to bring us more expensive and complicated medical care and ever more powerful forms of tribal warfare. The mantra of the day is "faster, better, cheaper", and it's delivering us to a collective fate of material intensity and spiritual bankruptcy. We are losing our senses and our humanity at precisely the wrong time: just when we should be rediscovering sincere and meaningful lives by dramatically reconnecting with Nature, ourselves and each other. But there are glimmers of hope. As a community, let's brainstorm about remedial action across the scale: both big and small. How do we visualize and manifest the necessity of reconnecting with Nature in our personal lives? How are we unplugging from the pathological intensity of centripetally controlled civilization and "getting off the grid", both literally and metaphorically? It is our role as Jedi to question everything that comes between us and the Cosmos: more specifically, Nature. How are we finding our own paths back to timeless ways of being?
