#SoilHealth is essential for life on land. When I was born that included about 3 billion human lives, and we thought we could control the soil. Now we are over 7 billion people, we need to recognise we are partners not controllers & we need to adopt a #regenerative approach.

It is vitally important that #EconomicsEducation changes from saying "This is #Economics, learn it, apply & live with it" to:

"These are the currently applied Economic systems, they have good points but also many very serious problems - understand & urgently help improve them!"

[Nadine Storey @NadineJStorey]

Highly recommend this book - this RSA article gives a flavour of it.

[Gary King @Kingo1gk]

Excellent article from Terence, as usual. hitting the nail on the head - "We urgently need to develop our consciousness beyond consumerism so we can embrace a regenerative lifestyle" - developing the consciousness of leaders is crucial to responding to the climate crisis

[Dorian Furlonger @qolfabook]

The important #RegenerativeFutures paper by @theRSAorg includes a consideration of how we need to “Rethink Leadership” – Here Terence Sexton explores further on why that is needed and what that means....

“Leadership towards Regenerative Lifestyles”

"Humanity has reached a point where two paths lie ahead, one degenerative, the other regenerative." @ConsciousGrowt2

If you want to explore ideas for stepping onto the #Regenerative path, then here is a starting point for you to consider....

The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.
Lao Tzu

[Christian Wolf @whitespacewolf]

"Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.
George Orwell, 1984

[Dorian Furlonger @qolfabook]

Competition has its place but it is now such a dominant ideology that it is driving us to degenerate our lives psychologically, socially & environmentally.

It’s time to use a balanced combination of co-operation, co-ordination & competition for our sustainable #mutualwellbeing.

"Consciousness now needs to develop faster than the problems it creates” - Terence Sexton

We face many obvious challenges, some not-so-obvious. Time to prioritise one of the not-so-obvious, accelerating the development of our consciousness, after all..👇#Einstein #consciousness

[Dorian Furlonger @qolfabook]

Consciousness now needs to develop faster than the problems
it creates”

This quote from Terence Sexton, Author of #ConsciousnessBeyondConsumerism prompts me to ask myself:

In what ways is my #Consciousness narrow or shallow in its development and how might I change that?

[The MurmurationProject @MurmurationP]

@ConsciousnessB3 - inspired by your work in this #field of #consciousness - thanks for your quote on page 43 https://t.co/3HzdAkGyVb

[Dorian Furlonger @qolfabook]

Has your mind become consumed with the idea that you can achieve long-term #happiness through #consumerism?

Then welcome to the Hedonic Treadmill 😞

Alternatively why not explore @ConsciousGrowt2?

[Conscious Growth Collective @ConsciousGrowt2]

In our LinkedIn Group, a member of the community asked: "What does post consumerist consciousness look like?" What is your view?

[Dorian Furlonger @qolfabook]

It’s time to let go of the ideas 1) that we can conquer nature and 2) that we and nature are ultimately "red in tooth and claw".

It’s time to understand ourselves as a potentially beautiful expression of existence and start to act accordingly.

So this👇is more than interesting.

[Dorian Furlonger @qolfabook]

Just as one looks back at #overconsumption of food & drink at a meal as not just harmful to health, but even revolting & shameful, it is time to see that the commercially reinforced mantra that “never-ending growth in consumption is good” is equally harmful revolting & shameful.

New beginnings are an opportunity to reflect on the past and consider how we want to live in the future. Do you want to continue consuming the planet? If not, take a look at the Conscious Growth Collective https://t.co/gCGlkDOdtb #NewYear2022
