permaculture

[Rain Tenaqiya <raincascadia@yahoo.com>]

Permaculture is a design system for sustainable culture.  Spirituality seems 
to be pretty much a built-in feature of Homo sapiens.  Therefore, we need a 
sustainable spirituality.  We should be able to apply the permaculture 
principles and design methods to create such a spirituality.  Then, we should 
be able to calmly and respectfully debate about which tenets of a 
spirituality or religion lead to a sustainable culture.
   
  Nearly every patriarchal religion or spirituality (and that includes all 
New Age systems I've encountered) believes that the Earth is not our home and 
that at some time we are going to leave it.  This belief is not very good for 
us, or the planet.  I could go on and on, but time is short.  I am personally 
trying to develop my own Earth-based spirituality, which is consistent with 
science, as I believe it is essential for our species.
