Everything within existence, bar none, has a beginning, a middle and an end. During this life span relationships are created that promote the health of the ecology or the disfunction of the ecology. All of this happens as a result of dependent origination. From the moment intention meets with the source energy to manifest it, that energy then becomes a form, like a wave of energy. The result is the world you see before you. As Amit Gaswami promotes, "Consciousness is the ground of being."

That these definitions are considered separate, points to the space for this conversation. It is not my intention to co-opt this term away from science and into metaphysic or spiritual realms. Rather to expand the conversation to understand that no matter if we are studying the ecology of a tree or the ecology of politics and finance, as the human race are inherently a part of the study. Not separate or different from that which we study and that we are a part of a larger ecology.

Our ecology has become corrupted by a small cancerous group of cells that is killing us off like a bad cancer turns on it's own body. From time to time in history this cancer shows itself, but has been there influencing how the whole body works since the beginning of civilization. We have not had much direct experience of being full and healthy since. Constant manufacturing of wars and power grabbing has kept us in ill health and has disturbed the very basis for life. We influence the ecology as a whole and we can no longer allow duality to be the basis for our decisions if we wish to persist.

I am not a journalist nor a writer, I am not an academic or even particularly intellectual. I am just a guy who has been seeing materialism blinding the people of this world and suffering increase as we forget our basic goodness.

Great change is already upon us. How we relate to that change as a planetary human ecology will determine if we become that which we long to be but have forgone because of hope and fear.
