StarHawk's Manifesto - Alice's Rabbit Whole

StarHawk's Manifesto for the 21st. century

"The earth is a living conscious being.
In company with cultures of many different times & places,
we name these things sacred: air, fire, water & earth.
Whether we see them as the breath, energy, blood & body of the mother, or as the blessed gifts of a creator, or as symbols of the interconnected systems that sustain life,
we know that nothing can live without them.
To call these things sacred is to say that they have a value
beyond their usefulness for human ends, that they themselves become the standards by which our acts, our economics, our laws,
& our purposes must be judged.
No one has the right to appropriate them or profit from
them at the expense of others.
Any government that fails to protect them forfeits its legitimacy."

"All people, all living things, are part of the Earth life & so Sacred.
No one of us stands higher or lower than any other.
Only justice can assure balance.
Only ecological balance can sustain freedom.
Only in freedom can the fifth sacred thing we call "spirit"
flourish in its full diversity.
To honor the sacred is to create conditions in which nourishment, sustenance, habitat, knowledge, freedom, and beauty can thrive.
To honor the sacred is to make love possible.
To this we dedicate our curiosity, our will, our courage,
our silences, & our voices.

To this we dedicate our lives."
