HARMONY

In today’s world our daily existence is pervaded by a consciousness of separation and disconnection. To be disconnected is to be powerless, much like a lamp that is not plugged in will never produce light.

This tragic sense of disconnection from the world around us is the result of numerous historical trends. For example: 

• the philosophy of humanism, which puts humans at the center of the universe;

• the Darwinian theory of evolution, which places humans above the rest of Nature;

• the scientific worldview, which considers something as real only if it is perceived via the five senses and verified through repeatable experimentation;

• the rise of industrialism and commercialism, which treats everything (including ourselves) as fodder for economic benefit and growth.

As a result of our profound sense of separation and disconnection, we are simply ‘out of tune’ with the rest of the cosmos. Unlike our ancient ancestors (as well as not-so-ancient cultures, such as the Native Americans), we no longer live in harmony with the stars, nor with Earth and its inhabitants—the animals, plants and minerals. And as a result, we no longer live in harmony with ourselves. This lack of harmony prevents us from possessing the personal power that enables us to create the life we desire—the life we know to be possible because it is actually our heritage as human beings.

The topics to the right represent some of the many ways to reconnect and reestablish a sense of harmony with the cosmos and within ourselves. Within each link you will find resources such as audio files, books, videos and websites.
