thank you, what a lovely watch. i really appreciated the mention about creating a women’s network and using facebook groups to do so. i really feel like we need to make things tangible for people because building community is so foreign to us as it’s been actively discouraged (such as loss of third spaces) much love ❤
As someone who is also autistic thank you Gail Bradbrook for coming out to where we belong and always have been as many other writers and thinkers work has been shown to be. ☮
@@SRCX.ClimateResearchWhat are your beliefs on our ecological overshoot predicament? Of course I was referring to the base use of hydrocarbon as the foundation of our modern techno industrial civilization as the energetic reality, not some quantum space/time thingy. It seems to be the externalities of burning hydrocarbons are causing the chemistry of our troposphere to change enough to hold more heat causing instabilities to the climate. Would you agree or disagree with that observation?
As one who's been to thousands of AA 12 Step meetings over the decades, I find this to be a normal meeting of people. And what to talk about, basically, the truth. Including personal truths. I guess not for most people, but fun fact, there's likely a local AA Open (anyone welcome) meeting near you.
Hopelessness is the path to transformation and new kinds of presence and action. According to the Buddha. So, maybe allow your feeling of hopelessness to transform you.
“In ancient Greece, Phoenix mythology was a set of legends that surrounded the Phoenix, a mythical bird known for its ability to be reborn from its own ashes.” In the same way we all know that our birth signaled our coming death and yet we did not refuse to live because of this knowledge.
The future is hopeless, so you're not wrong with those feelings. I was able to move beyond hopelessness by accepting it. That freed me from the constant nagging effects of it. I was freed to re-prioritize my life, and focus on what I truly found important in life, and able to feel the joy of working on those important things. We all handle adversity differently, but I find these stories by this panel inspiring in my own journey of enjoying living while knowing I'll eventually die, maybe sooner than expected.
oh my god at 0:50. I would be cringing. I'm glad I'm not up on that stage! lol "the science is corrupt"...that's actually what the global warming deniers base all their beliefs on and its so self-defeating :(
sad these circles never include people who speak other languages... The green party itself serves green colored technology and energy and expects everyone else to do so.
Somewhat presumptious. How do you know they do not? Speaking multiple languages in one group can exclude people. Language barriers can also be an obstacle to effective communication. What is the purpose of the criticism? Are there not spaces in other languages you can explore? What languages do you prefer?
@@noizydanRachel and Amisha are fluent in other languages. I'm learning Bahasa. Gail and Indra are fluent in pagan traditions.. but that's another story! 😂
@@noizydan Written language is rather recent development and just 3000 years old in our 250,000 year span of being Homo sapien sapien. The phonetic alphabet an even more recent development in linguistics has its own pitfalls in bringing and understanding that may be outside of any language.
OK, ignore the UN, but follow the data at C3S, who just published "Hottest May on record spurs call for climate action", which includes a data set: 0.75 degC global temp increase over the 3 1/2 yrs. from the baseline 1991-2020, the ave. of which is 0.214 degC per annum, so a 1 degC global temp increase may be expected at this rate of 2 degC by 2027, 3 degC by 2032, 4 degC by 2037, 5 degC by 2042, and endtime 6 degC by 2047. All the rest is just BS. Anybody hear an alarm bell? No? What a surprise. Still want to have another child, who, at 23, will live to join the many millions (billions?) dying and rue the day you gave him/her a life in a dying world? Hmmmm?
That child could also be raised with a generous spirit, to put others first, to try to make the world a better place, a more peaceable kingdom, and to help people handle difficulty and adapt to challenging circumstances. God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change... Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.
@@emilymiller1792 You do not need to be a retired psychiatrist having spent 42 yrs. trying to help suffering souls who were emotionally/physically abandoned by their parent(s) to know the damage so many Americans have suffered in their childhoods and the mental health problems that result. So, celebrate parenthood in a time of climate and social collapse, if you must, but cut the crap on how wonderfully fortunate any child born today will be to turn 23 when the global average temp has risen 6 degC. Remember, the Serenity Prayer was written by a Lutheran minister who fled Nazi Germany and was trying to forgive himself for the murdered millions he left behind, Reinhold Neighbor.
@StressRUs You are putting words in my mouth, sir. "Cut the crap on how wonderfully fortunate any child born today will be to turn 23 when..." is your misinterpretation of what I said. I did NOT say "how wonderfully fortunate" they'd be. A child born today could be resentful of being born or simply shoulder the difficulties and try to make the world a better place. It is not right to assume kids born today will be resentful and rue the day they were born because of the future may be difficult. That is an unfair assumption to make about anyone but especially about a baby! Life is difficult. Corrie ten Boom did not rue the day she was born; she shouldered the difficulties and tried to find the courage to change those things she could.
@@emilymiller1792 Your willful ignorance of the speed of climate collapse is breathtaking. Go to C3S and see for yourself or just keep painting rosy fantasies of what's coming shortly. It's the unborn children I'm praying for, that their wouldbe mindless selfish parents run out of IVF money ($45K) before the damage is done.
It might be a better solution for each of us to unite within each of ourselves the feminine and masculine, the anima and animus as Carl Jung wrote about.

Thank you, Jem!
Amazing Panel!
Wishing you the best with your farming.
Thank you all. Bringing together folks from your own town/neighborhood is one of the best ways to work for change. We should all do this.
Thank you for your truth and sharing your time with us.
This is a great assembly of wise people on stage and audience. Thank you so much. More please.
Shared suffering creates growth, suffering alone creates trauma.
So complicated. Thanks for talking about it, y'all.
Our pleasure!
@@jembendell Jem, you are a gem!
@@SRCX.ClimateResearch Maybe, if you want to talk about ecological and biospheric overshoot.
@@SRCX.ClimateResearch Do you believe that orthodox economics is suffering from a disconnect from energetic reality?

I think we need to hear from more people who speak languages from the indigenous peoples who lived in a pre-modernity times.
