We are the “new telluric force which in power and universality may be compared to the greater forces of earth”. For the first time in human history we have the ability to track the affects we have on our global environment. The video describes a new responsibility toward this planet that must emerge for us to live on Earth in a sustainable way. This piece, commissioned by the Planet Under Pressure conference, does a remarkable job explaining the accelerating forces under our control.

“I’m sorry but I don’t want to be an Emperor, that’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white.

In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone.”

NASA and Star Wars at SpaceUp Houston

The 501st Legion, a worldwide Star Wars costuming group, showed up to SpaceUp Houston and climbed on NASA’s Space Exploration Vehicle. I was amazed at the audience reaction, they commented on the similarities between NASA and Star Wars spacesuits and couldn’t stop talking about “what if” scenarios. Our relationship with space is often one with science fiction and film. In Houston, for a moment, fiction became reality and the possibilities became endless.

This is an interesting short read/listen that appeared on NPR’s Morning Edition about a moment in one person’s journey. From the strategies employed when asking for help to the personal resilience and effort it takes to get where you’re going, there’s a lot to pick up from this piece.

How can we be altering the natural cycle of the this beautiful earth if we ourselves are a natural part of it as well? Thus making anything we do a natural event the only way this could be possible Or to think otherwise is to suggest we are not of this world , An alien to if you will.
That being said makes me wonder. Do you, the makers of this video “seemingly highly intelligent beings I might add” know something about us as humans that we do not .? Did you just unknowingly express that we are not of this world ..Did you just…. let the “proverbial ” cat out of the bag so to speak ? No you’re way to smart to do that
