Do Unto Earth
Author: Carole Serene Borgens
Publisher: Waterside Productions
ISBN: 9781949001495

Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
"A must-read book for everyone who cares about the future of humanity and our planet." --Dr. Ervin Laszlo, two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, bestselling author of Science and the Akashic Field, founder of the Club of Budapest and the Laszlo Institute "Do Unto Earth is full of empowering messages and mind-bending assertions that you won't find in science or history textbooks." --Mark Gober, author of An End to Upside Down Thinking, director of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the School of Wholeness and Enlightenment Can you imagine receiving answers to your most thought-provoking questions about life on Earth spanning topics such as historical events to present-day environmental issues? That's what happened when author and viralenologist Penelope Jean Hayes communicated with the Divine Wisdom Source whom self-introduced as "Pax," channeled through intuitive Carole Serene Borgens. What ensued was the writing of Do Unto Earth, an urgent message to humanity about planetary healing. We are advised to look to the wisdom of the First Nations peoples for guidance on harmonious living with the natural world, resource management, and the development of our innate intuitive abilities. Further, Pax says that each person's contribution to collective consciousness becomes the global power necessary to affect change for unity, peace, and environmental repair. However, what is perhaps most surprising is the multitude of future technological advancements revealed by Pax, including strong hints at the fuel solution for interstellar travel at lightspeed, the replacement for all plastics and crude oil, and what's to come in communication devices. Exploring further, author Hayes asks about our historical mysteries such as the construction of the Great Pyramids, the movement of the stones at Stonehenge, the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, the cause of magnetic anomalies in the Bermuda Triangle, the truth about Roswell in 1947, the usefulness of Dark Matter in space, and many more longstanding human curiosities--all answered in this extraordinary conversation. The wisdom within these pages is uplifting and inspirational, and it provides tangible recommendations and solutions for the biggest concerns of our time. If you read only one book this decade, let it be this one!

Earth Emotions
Author: Glenn A. Albrecht
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501715240
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
As climate change and development pressures overwhelm the environment, our emotional relationships with Earth are also in crisis. Pessimism and distress are overwhelming people the world over. In this maelstrom of emotion, solastalgia, the homesickness you have when you are still at home, has become, writes Glenn A. Albrecht, one of the defining emotions of the twenty-first century. Earth Emotions examines our positive and negative Earth emotions. It explains the author's concept of solastalgia and other well-known eco-emotions such as biophilia and topophilia. Albrecht introduces us to the many new words needed to describe the full range of our emotional responses to the emergent state of the world. We need this creation of a hopeful vocabulary of positive emotions, argues Albrecht, so that we can extract ourselves out of environmental desolation and reignite our millennia-old biophilia—love of life—for our home planet. To do so, he proposes a dramatic change from the current human-dominated Anthropocene era to one that will be founded, materially, ethically, politically, and spiritually on the revolution in thinking being delivered by contemporary symbiotic science. Albrecht names this period the Symbiocene. With the current and coming generations, "Generation Symbiocene," Albrecht sees reason for optimism. The battle between the forces of destruction and the forces of creation will be won by Generation Symbiocene, and Earth Emotions presents an ethical and emotional odyssey for that victory.
