Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment

Dear Group Members,

I want to share my article with you. This is about the link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues. The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature.

type here, press the ʻenterʼ
key so loudly i can barely
hear the voices
screaming into mobile phones
(no one cares that dinnerʼs at
seven sharp and that heʼs
late again, that cad)

rip the phone
from your ear
and throw it
into an espresso machine.

7 Namaste

The gesture Namaste represents the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us. An acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another.This piece is a spiral of growth. Branches rotate from the centre gathering more and more leaves before pulsating out into the clouds and spreading over the earth. The central spiral is an ammonite fossil which were abundant 175 million to 65 m

8 Ah, white man, have you any sacred sites?

Ah, white man, I am searching for the sites, sacred to you,
Where you walk, in silent worship, and you whisper poems too,
Where you tread, like me, in wonder, and your eyes are filled with tears,
And you see the tracks you’ve travelled down your fifty thousand years.

itʼs not a great main street
in fact itʼs awful
KFC, Mackers, Safeway, Banks, Smoko Shops,
Bakerʼs Delight, Pokie Pubs
the usual array of muck.

somebody called me a faggot yesterday
as I walked down the main street.
