Sustainability and the Sacred
Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Sufi teacher and author, implores us to change
our present global predicament by changing our consciousness. Our
current mindset sees Earth as a resource. He argues that this worldview
creates a sense of separation and one in which we have forgotten the
sacred nature of the Earth. If we embrace the sacred in all of life, we
will remember our primal relationship to the Earth, reconnect with an
ancient knowing and respond from a place of balance. This is the nature
of real sustainability and what we need to avoid ecological disaster.
