Een gezonde relatie met het ecosysteem
Voorwoord
In het eerste video-gedeelte op deze pagina spreekt men over zwaarwegende bezwaren tegen het vercommercialiseren van rituele voorwerpen van de Amerikaanse indianen. De bezwaren zijn gebaseerd op hele oude gebruiken. De uitspraken in deze video’s kunnen wellicht vreemd of zweverig overkomen op de westerse, rationeel/wetenschappelijk georiënteerde mindset.
Ik ga proberen om een brug te slaan.
De verbinding
Door dit soort ‘primitieve’ overtuigingen, gebruiken en rituelen kon er conditionering plaatsvinden die mensen aanleerde om een gezonde relatie aan te gaan met alle deelnemers van het ecosysteem. Voor goede voorbeelden van deze vorm van conditioneren verwijs ik je naar de lezingen van Professor Robin Wall Kimmerer in het tweede video-gedeelte op deze pagina.
Zorgvuldigheid als overlevingsinstinct
Als je zorgvuldig jaagt en handelt dan consumeer je geen massaproduct. Je beseft dat je te maken hebt met een medebewoner van het ecosysteem waar je deel van uitmaakt. Je neemt niet meer dan je nodig hebt. Want alles reageert op elkaar. “Alles is met elkaar verbonden” of “wij zijn één” zijn in essentie geen hippe spirituele kreten.
Iemand die werkelijk begrijpt wat hij/zij zegt met zo’n uitspraak, heeft respect voor, en kennis van het ecosysteem. Door symboliek en rituelen te ontwikkelen rondom alle onderdelen en deelnemers van ons ecosysteem, zowel dierlijke, plantaardige als minerale deelnemers, ontstaat er bewustzijn van relatie.
Wat kan de moderne mens hiermee?
Anno 2020 is de kans klein dat we mensen nog op deze oeroude manier gaan conditioneren; in ieder geval niet op grote schaal. Maar zolang de moderne mens binnen de systemen waarin wij leven de gelegenheid krijgt om plaatselijke ecosystemen te verwoesten en ons globale ecosysteem extreem uit balans te brengen, en niet opgevoed, begrensd en zo nodig gecorrigeerd wordt om een verantwoordelijke en volwassen bewoner van de aarde te worden, zijn we nog niet uitgeleerd van onze ‘primitieve’ voorouders.
Of we het nou op een moderne of ouderwetse manier aanpakken:
Een gezonde relatie met ons ecosysteem is essentieel voor ons overleven.
Of we het nou op een spirituele/religieuze of atheïstische/wetenschappelijke manier aanpakken:
De achterliggende inzichten over die relatie zijn essentieel voor ons overleven.

The Teachings of Plants: Finding Common Ground Between Traditional and Scientific Knowledge
Dr. Robin W. Kimmerer, Distinguished Teaching Professor and Director, Center for Native Peoples and the Environment, SUNY-ESF
In traditional ecological knowledge, plants are regarded not only as persons, but as among our oldest teachers. If plants are our teachers, what are they teaching us, and how can we be better students? In a rich braid of ecological science, indigenous philosophy, and literary reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, Dr. Kimmerer will explore the material and cultural gifts of plants and our responsibilities for reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. -

Robin Wall Kimmerer: "We the People": Expanding the Circle of Citizenship
Current debates on the future of public lands call for a focus on who is included in the ‘public.’ Who is inside the circle and who is not? Whose voices are heard, and whose are silenced? Indigenous people have largely been excluded from decision-making involving public lands—as has their sophisticated environmental philosophy and practice, derived from traditional ecological knowledge. How might the indigenous concepts of the personhood of non-human beings expand our notion of the public good? This talk explores facets of how respectful engagement with indigenous knowledge might re-draw the boundaries of “We, the People” as we consider our relationship to ancestral ‘public’ lands. This was the 2017-18 Clark Lecture.
Oeroude spiritualiteit: wetenschap uit een ander tijdperk
Oude culturen die intensief samenleefden met de natuur waren anders vormgegeven en men leefde primitiever als wij nu doen, maar de mensen waren absoluut niet dom. Ze hebben hun intelligentie anders ontwikkeld als moderne westerse wetenschappers. Hun kennis over ecosystemen is verweven met en verwerkt in hun kunst, hun tradities en hun spiritualiteit.
Als een heilige plaats vernietigd wordt gaat er waardevolle kennis verloren. Steeds meer wetenschappers zijn bezig met de vertaalslag tussen moderne wetenschap en traditionele kennis. Het is niet alleen voor de oorspronkelijke bewoners, maar voor de hele mensheid belangrijk dat deze heilige plekken intact blijven en zorgvuldig bestudeerd worden.

Guardians of the Sacred (2017)
Guardians of the Sacred follows 20 sacred site guardians from around the world as they journey to the Hawaiian island of Kaho‘olawe for shared ceremony and strategic dialogue before attending the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Honolulu in September 2016. Along the way they share heartfelt stories of success and failure as they commit to work together in a worldwide effort to protect sacred places and indigenous land rights.
Instead of traditional protesters, these guardians are “protectors” — they protect their lands and waters for future generations, by addressing both the ecological and the spiritual dimensions of land and water. This new framing of activism emerged into public consciousness at Standing Rock in North Dakota, at the same time we were filming these remarkable leaders articulating this powerful alternative way of seeking social and environmental justice.
Through our footage at the IUCN World Conservation Congress we see that the conservation movement is awakening to the value and importance of indigenous leadership as we all seek a way out of global crisis. Balancing politics and spirituality is an essential element of this new way forward and indigenous guardians of sacred sites are grappling with these issues in a deep and fundamental way that offers new hope.

From the Heart of the World: The Elder Brothers' Warning - Kogi Message to Humanity
This documentary was the world's primary introduction to the Kogi and their crucial message about the serious negative consequences of modern Man's way of existing on this Earth. It was originally released in 1992, and is not currently available online (except on Youtube).
If you watch this video and feel inspired by the Kogi and their message, please know that they have NO interest in people coming to visit them and their sacred lands. This includes visiting La Ciudad Perdida (The Lost City), which for the Kogi was never "lost". Rather, it was purposefully hidden, because it is an incredibly sacred site that even many Kogi are not sanctioned to visit... and certainly not tourists. The Kogi have gone to GREAT lengths, for the past 500+ years to keep their sacred lands free from the energy and unconscious spiritual issues of outsiders. This is something the average "Westerner" might have a hard time understanding. But all we need to understand is that the Kogi DON'T want people visiting their lands, and whether we understand the spiritual reasons for this, or not, is unimportant. Being in their territories uninvited is like walking into a complete stranger's house, uninvited, and walking through the rooms of that house as if it were your own. It is rude and inappropriate. Please take this to HEART and KNOW what it means to violate their wish to NOT have outsiders in their sacred lands.
If you feel—and KNOW within your heart—that you have a genuine calling (not just idle curiosity) to support the Kogi in some way, my only recommendation is that you take a serious and sincere interest in recovering your attention from the great many distractions—most especially "spiritual" distractions—and doing what it takes to come into greater consciousness of who you are as Spirit, where you are from as Spirit, and precisely why you are here, as Spirit. This is hard and, at times, painstaking work.
Most importantly, know that the message of the Kogi is a practical one. That we day-by-day apply ourselves to the deep work of resolving our issues, misconceptions, projections, negative tendencies, etc. And that we do EVERYTHING within our power to stop living a lie (the Modern world) which is quite obviously destructive and out of alignment with LIFE. In simple terms, they are making it clear that the Western world must drastically change its ways, less we go through drastic changes. If you’re reading this, that likely includes you. The Kogi are not simply something interesting for our entertainment or idle curiosity. They do NOT wish to be idolised, for that only marginalises the deep importance of their message, which is, in reality, the Mother's message.
To see the most recent documentary on and by the Kogi, please look online for Aluna The Movie. It can be streamed for a nominal price, and is worth watching. It was released in late 2014.

Satish Kumar on "What is a Sacred Place?"
Satish Kumar brings a Hindu, Buddhist and Jain perspective to the definition of "sacred place." We found his explanation so compelling that we edited a three-minute piece incorporating some of our best b-roll images, asked Jon Herbst to compose a musical score, and we present it here as a teaser of things to come, to give our friends and supporters a taste of the film series we are shaping. Enjoy!
Sacred Land Film Project (SLFP)'s mission is to create and distribute media and educational materials to deepen public understanding of sacred sites, indigenous cultures and environmental justice. A sponsored project of Earth Island Institute in Berkeley, California since 1984, SLFP is a 501(c)3 non-profit funded entirely through grants and individual donations. If you enjoy this clip, please consider making a donation to SLFP. Your contribution will make it possible for us to complete our newest documentary series, Standing on Sacred Ground, which will bring the stories of these indigenous communities to a national television audience. -
Sacred Sites and Biodiversity—Scenes from Standing on Sacred Ground
This clip contains three scenes from Standing on Sacred Ground—in Australia, Papua New Guinea and Ethiopia. We've frequently been asked the question, "What is the tangible value of sacred places?" Our scientific, materialistic culture demands proof. These three film scenes answer the question. According to the World Bank, indigenous people make up 4% of the world's population, control 22% of the Earth's land surface, and on that land is 80% of the remaining biodiversity on the planet. Indigenous people are obviously doing a remarkable job respecting and conserving the diversity of life around them. Within their territories are sacred places that provide the anchor, the center, the cultural values and customary laws that connect native communities to wise ancestors and future generations. These are the reasons that sacred places and indigenous land rights are so important and need to be better respected and protected.
