It is the premise of Earth Vision that in order for humanity to cherish nature, humanity must first recognize nature as a reflection of the very soul of its own being.
The world of nature, February, 2007. Earth Vision is making its online debut with a forum that reaches beyond environmentalism, while at the same time presenting a resonance with nature that even a confirmed urbanite can delve into.
Can the environmental movement address the issues of the day, or is a deeper perspective needed, given the extraordinary weight of those issues? That a great spiritual awakening is upon us gives hope in the face of this conundrum. Just as spiritual science overtakes material science, as demonstrated by the formidable output of Rudolf Steiner, one of the best kept secrets of the 20th Century, so can spiritual ecology deliver the depth of understanding that material ecology fails to embrace.
The Earth Vision website uses the vehicle of spiritual ecology to explore the interweave between humanity and nature. Through excerpts by Josef Graf, nature author and researcher of Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy, the viewer is enticed to access the wilderness within. The five books comprise:
- a travelogue across North America; - a calendar of nature and soul through the seasons; - a global perspective down through the ages; - a gallery that explores art, color theory, and the nature-soul dynamic; - and a compendium of humor in the biography of Hebert Returns to America.
Humanity's impasse in the face of nature calls for extraordinary resolutions. Earth Vision provides an entry to one of those forums. In the words of Dorothy McLean, noted co-founder of Findhorn, "I read Earth Vision with delight. I appreciate that it was comprehensive and beautiful. . . another thing that delighted me was the emphasis on humans sharing whatever qualities nature has. . . the words, and the spirit that shines through them, cannot but help people to expand their awareness."
