Part 4 - John D. Liu at The BirdHouse
In the fourth part of this series, Cameron Miller and John D. Liu discuss how we can ensure that the right people are being rewarded for land restoration. How can we ensure that restoration projects aren't simply increasing the property values of already-wealthy landlords and governments? How might we employ land tenure?
John discusses the need for a new currency, because currency is a belief system. If we reach a critical mass of people believing in this currency and thus recognizing the root of true wealth, real progress can be made. Right now, our economic and education systems are not in alignment with the biological processes of the world. We are determining whether future generations that can continue, and it’s not the Earth that is in danger, it’s human civilization. In indigenous thought, the concept of land ownership is ridiculous. It is corrupt. To hold onto a corrupt concept is basically to lose your soul.
Community land trusts are an option. This is a way to aggregate wealth. A lot of these challenges are interrelated. If we incentivize regeneration, then all of our work will go towards restoring the Earth.

hi
I really appreciate what he says about our arrogance and entitlement to finding the quickest solution to the problem we're facing rather than learning how the problem really came to be. Absolutely love his perspective
Thank you for this wonderful interview. I'm deeply touched, delighted, enlightened, and I feel less alone. Just to be, is enough, is all that's necessary.
Actually really appreciated these videos being in segments.. gives you a moment to stop and reflect after each poetic and devastating blow is dealt to our very cultural infrastructure 😂💜
elder free time. is the enactment of the future of your OUR WISDOM - a SEED PLANTED IN THE VILLAGE OF YOUR SOUL
The generation that comes together to make a difference, will not enjoy the experience if living the difference….. “Now, do you have the stomach for THAT work?” I believe this is what it sounds like when a man or woman tells the truth their own life has taught them, regardless of anyone else’s approval or agreement. Respect. Respect.
“……taking a knee, rather than taking more of what you “need”….” Yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you.
if you dont have a streight edge or bone folder, popsicle stick or even a pencil or Bic style pens can be used to flatten edges.
I moved to Mexico and it is night and day. Elders are honored, respected, loved. Yet another reason which I felt so out of place in N. America. I was raised to respect and hold elders at the highest level. NOTE: In English, it is said "how old are you". That does not exist in Spanish! It is not how "old" are you, it is ¿Cuántos años tienes? Translating to: How many years do you have?
i think he is instrumentalized öile oprah, tolle and so many others, without knowing it because they'd never object to any o what he is saying. it does not look to good for us undergisted regular normal people
Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I am literally blown apart...perhaps I can be put back together with humility. Thank you
it's called MAID, it's already here.
1 in 4 GenXers have decided their parents are to blame for their ills, so they have canceled them. 4 pages of grieving grandparents on FB. Many have not seen AC in years and have never seen their grandchildren.
Randomly occurring free radical
It's so awful and sad. I can't stop crying. Stephen has the gift of long seeing. 1 in 4 Gen Xers have decided their parents are to blame for their problems so they have canceled them. 4 pages of Estranged Grandparents on FB, who have not seen their adult children in years and have grandchildren they have never seen.
Sounds like a case of unaccountability to me.
Is it serendipity that brings someone like Stephen into my orbit?
And yet in Germany the camps are for tourists. Hotel stops for buses to take you.
My favourite kind of trouble too, Stephen.
thanks
I so love this series and the depth at which you speak. Having been at many deaths, not as many as Stephen, everything here rings true to the core. We don't want to admit that the suffering of the dying process has a purpose, although it maybe the only way to weave the healing for those left behind.
The bitter sweetness
I’m currently loving it
Man … wow!
🔥 【p】【r】【o】【m】【o】【s】【m】
The downward arc of viewers across this series is a pretty accurate metric for our willingness to be eldered, to listen to the sometimes troubling reflections of an elder telling it like he sees it. Thank you for your care in the production of these interviews and for sharing them with us.
Euthanasia is an expression of Deathphobia, not its resolution. Sad but true.
Thank you, thank you for this wonderful series with Stephen. So deeply inspiring, wise, and critical for us to come close to understanding our culture in times of turmoil. Elderhood and village mindedness so sadly lost in our world. I am inspired🙏
Read Job in the Bible. Same wisdom.
Wonderful!
What's worse: the hair-brained crackpot economic theories of an anti-capitalist or the "indigenous land acknowledgement" in the opening? Answer: whichever one lasts longer, and that would be the crackpot economic theory.
hello could you explain more about those herb signs - was it painted or printed/pottery on the end of the brick . Arts & Ecology day - what a lovely activity title . I really enjoyed your show and tell.
Hello! We're so glad that you enjoyed! The bricks were all painted white, and then from there it was a mix of writing on the bricks with sharpies, and printing out the labels on paper. All of the bricks were then covered with white glue.
@@atthebirdhouse brilliant. how are they holding up in the weather?
@@worksmith5223 They are doing well! This video was shot when they had already been out in the garden for a while!
He completely failed to substantiate his contention that the establishment of euthanasia would be a perpetuation of death phobia. No reasoning, just a fiat. No, it would not be a perpetuation of death phobia. It would be the most substantial statement possible that there are some things worse than death, such as unbearable, pointless pain that has no reasonable expectation to resolve regardless of any possible intervention, other than euthanasia.
Good point John. One I've thought of too after speaking with Stephen. We could put it back to him that his wintering in Oaxaca as a "respiratory refugee" is also a "deathphobic" move. I don't begrudge him wanting relief from the harsh Ontario winters, but it seems hypocritical following his comments on euthanasia.
Nice to see you on line Cameron , Its Marilyn I took classes with you.
❤️🙏
Wonderful !
Oh WOW! What a fabulous concept! I found myself wondering how we could introduce something similar at our little “village” of Fowler community in Dallas. How can we turn our open spaces into edible gardens! How can we get the whole community singing together! How can we introduce an identity - a true sense of community and togetherness after all the isolation we’ve been living in? How do we do that? Can somebody answer????
Dorian, so good to hear the inspiration in your words. We've considered creating a document of how the BirdHouse got going and what principles guide our work. I'm always happy to discuss. Why don't you become a member and email us to begin a dialog? atthebirdhouse.org/become-a-member/ cheers jonnyA

This is magical 🤗♥️

Thank you! Your instructions were very clear!
I was watching this and thinking, "These are the most powerful words I've heard spoken out loud."
"That combinations of grief-informed willinglyness, turns into the vessel, that holds the wine, the sustains the people, to give them reason, to plant the vines...so that.... It's a entirely redemptive vision, not a vision of..immediately psychic satisfaction in this moment, if you're willing to work on behalf of a better day, you become the better day...not for you, for those that find out you're willing to do it" sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I can't believe what I'm hearing.. Wow. Music to my ears. Someone who knows what they are talking about.
I’ve never looked at my kids and felt sorrow for taking part in their creation and therefor their death. It’s not beyond me that they will die, of course, but I feel zero “sorrow”. The only time I feel sorrow is when I think hypothetically about them not being here, about them never being born or taken from this life early.

I love your interviews and I have a lot of respect for you. One thing I have to say though.....I am German and I am a grandchild of the "nazi generation". I do not remember that part of German history being hidden from me....rather the opposite. We went over it several times in school. I grew up with deep disdain for the deeds of the nazis. Maybe it was part of me leaving Germany in my 20s and moving to the USA, just to find what you are talking about....a fake kind of freedom and as of today a fascist regime. Not fascist like Hitler, but in a way more subtle and maybe even more dangerous. By having listened to you, I start feeling the disconnect from my ancestors....this is hitting me by surprise but you made me cry because this deeply resonates. My family took it hard when I left and I didn't understand back then why. I am now getting a hint of it. I have to admit I start to feel deeply uprooted and lost and I wish I could go back but that is now impossible as I am 51 and have entanglements and Germany has jet again turned totalitarian under Corona. I will continue to listen to your podcasts and interviews....I think a lot about death lately....I need to get aligned. Thank you.
I’d like to come volunteer!
