“Sometime in the last 50,000 years, before 12,000 years ago, a kind of paradise came into existence. A situation in which men and women, parents and children, people and animals, human institutions and the land all were in dynamic balance and not in any primitive sense at all. Language was fully developed, poetry may have been at its climax, dance, magic, poetics, altruism, philosophy. There's no reason to think that these things were not practiced as adroitly as we practice them today and it was under the boundary dissolving influence of psilocybin.” PeopleThinkingMenYearsHumansKindMayChildrenHas BeensReasonPhilosophyTodayLastsLanguageParentAnimalExistenceSituationPracticeMagicInfluenceLandBalanceMen And WomenYears AgoInstitutionsBoundariesParadiseNo ReasonPrimitiveAltruismChildren And ParentsClimaxDissolvingPsilocybin Author:Terence McKenna

“Saudi Arabia is the most fragile of all Arab states, though we're not saying so. And, unfortunately, bin Laden puts his finger on the other longstanding injustices in the Arab world: the continued occupation of Palestinian land by the Israelis; the enormous, constant Arab anger with the tens of thousands of Iraqi children who are dying under sanctions; the feelings of humiliation of millions of Arabs living under petty dictators, almost all of whom are propped up by the West.” WorldChildrenStatesFeelingsMillionsLandDyingConstantWestFingersInjusticeEnormousOccupationFragilePalestinianDictatorHumiliationPettyBin LadenSanctionsArabiaSaudi ArabiaSaudisArab World Author:Robert Fisk

“Children should have the joy of living in far lands, in other persons, in other times - a delightful double existence; and this joy they will find, for the most part, in their story books. Their lessons, too, history and geography, should cultivate their conceptive powers. If the children do not live in the times of his history lesson, be not at home in the climate his geography book describes, why, these lessons will fail of their purpose.” IfsShouldChildrenPersonsBookStoriesHomeJoyPurposeExistenceFailingLandLessonsShould HaveClimateDelightfulGeographyJoy Of LivingStory Book Author:Charlotte Mason
“Have you seen Cowspiracy? It takes a lot more land to feed a meat eater than to feed a vegan or a vegetarian. It's something I'd love to get into but it's very hard to persuade people to stop things they've been doing for a long time. So maybe it needs to start with the next generation. Everyone needs to raise their children with a bit more responsibility.” PeopleNeedsChildrenLongHardNextBitsResponsibilityGenerationsLandLong TimeRaisesMeatVegetarianVeganNext Generation Author:Douglas Booth
“My relationship with God developed at an early age. I was raised on a remote little ranch, where I had for company and for the fullness of my life three other humans and an enormous amount of animals and land and sky and wind. As a child, my experience of God included everything-a love of the whole beauty around me. And the country was so beautiful: mountains that ended in aspen groves and streams, thick with wild animals and game of all kinds. One time I said to my mother, "You know, I think heaven is just like this, only the animals would speak to us; they wouldn't be afraid of us."” ThinkingKnowsHumansKindChildrenLittlesSaidCountryWholeGodAgeBeautifulMotherThreeGamesSpeakHeavenAnimalCompanySkyLandWindAmountMountainRaisedEnormousAll KindsStreamsOne TimeThickFullnessRelationship With GodWild AnimalGroveAspens Author:Brooke Medicine Eagle

“I believe, the NAACP began to try to organize parents of Negro children to file petitions with the boards of education regarding the integration of the school system. You had some very severe economic reprisals against people in Mississippi and in South Carolina. So, in order to try to help to meet some of the physical needs and the economic needs of people in Clarendon County [SC] who had been displaced from the land, and otherwise, and in certain sections of Mississippi, we organized in New York City something called "In Friendship".” PeopleNeedsTryingBelieveChildrenHelpingSchoolCertainOrderI BelieveParentCitiesEconomicLandNew YorkSouthBoardsOrganizedNew York CityOrganizeSevereIntegrationSectionsFilesCountyMississippiCarolinaPetitionsSchool SystemSouth CarolinaReprisalNaacpBoard Of Education Author:Ella Baker
