    In my opinion the contact with Western civilazation did not benefit the people of Gamo Highlands. It was sad to see that the preachers of the gospel and the Bible failed to se the connection to God the people there already had, expressed in their communion with nature. That there is no contradiction in believing in God and believing and communicating with nature and the Earth,just different ways of expressing your faith. And just the thought of Monsanto, AGRA and other Multi National Companies turning this beatiful example of agriculture in perfect harmony with life and nature into a monoculture (if that´s their desire) breakes my heart! Why destroy something that worked excellent for 10,000 years?! The only benefit of all this, is to hear the wisdom of the elders in the Gamo Highlands, and their insights of all that is happening there, since their experiences are very valuable for the future sustainability of the Earth.

    Regarding A Thousand Suns, beyond thinking about benefits or hindrances, I seek to know how indigenous ways of living, values, spiritual practices, connections with nature, can survive the impact of encroaching industrialization. Is it possible to live in many worlds at the same time, to get the benefits of different knowledge systems without sacrificing one for another? Perhaps in this age, we are better equipped to help foster this through a higher consciousness and a respect for the different ways of living and of reaching oneness with God. Since we are all one in God, and God seeks to know himself through us, maintaining the diversity of expressions of our beingness through all cultures is an important goal. Yet, we learn in the film A Thousand Suns that this is a difficult undertaking. There is not an easy answer. Love and respect for other ways of being seem to be a key.
    As I was typing this, I listened to a rendition of Berlioz’ oratorio from the Childhood of Christ that Omraam mentioned on page 351. As he stated, we can feel the presence of diaphanous beings in this music.

    watched the series -the incredible human journey- a while ago, it is a docu about our origins..yes indeed, we all began in Africa...it is sad with all the evidence we have on the fact that we r all 1, we still r divided in our beliefs...the Earth and the rest of nature has been around much much longer than us humans (about 200,000yrs only for us)....it is so sad that we r so removed from nature...esp in the western world..only viewing nature as a resource....to be exploited for our own advantage (the GMO companies being 1 example), regardless of the effect it has on the plant, the farmers, the consumers and to the rest of nature...it is almost juvenile delinquency to be driven in such a way and to not care about the effects of our cause to please ourselves....In reality..the land , the Earth doesnot belong to us..we r but 1 form of life among the countless forms of life that deserve life, liberty and happiness......Thank God for all the true believers in Gammo and all over the world who r waking up to the truth that nature and the Earth can survive without us but we cannot survive without them....and thank God for all who r practiising and learning about permaculture... it is way of the future and the way to give bac and promote healing instead of harming...
