SEEDS OF CHANGE
You need to spread this video around the net. Its a very important message
Bruce Weaver an independent filmmaker journeys into the dream world to paint a picture of our future. "Seeds Of Change" is a message and a warning from those who have a vision of tomorrow. While seemingly bleek with honesty and truth of what we face it is time to face the reality of the situation. We are facing more than just a Global Warming crisis we are facing a crisis in consciousness. We are truly on the brink and the fruit of our seed is something that is needed more than ever from each and every one of us. We must rise to this occasion now. Our guest speakers include Dr. John Todd, Dr. Brian Natrrass and Dr. Peter Russell who help explain the situation we are in and some solutions to our problems. This tapestry of a visual graffatti art from the dreamworld intertwined with our speakers and a situmlating meditative audio track by reknowned shaman musician Byron Metcalf take us on a complelling journey that looks at our situation from many perspeictives including visionaries such as Chief Arvol Looking Horse and Jesse Wolf Hardin.
What kind of world are we creating?
We as a civilization and a race of human beings are teetering on the edge of the prespice. We must examine our lack of tolerance for others as well as what we are no longer willing to tolerate from those who do not wish to create a truly awakened world that all can live in harmony and peace. Are we so asleep that we do not see the writing on the wall. Just as human beings of differing race, color, and religious belief deserve each other's respect, which at times requires "tolerance," or the act of voluntarily choosing to regard others as ourselves, so-to the earth then, deserves the respect of human beings toward her. At the core of the disharmony we now see on the planet, evidenced by toxic waste being dumped in our water sources, a cocktail of chemical poisons in every breath of air we breath, chemical pesticides sprayed on our food sources, and global warming threatening the balance of the natural world; our home, is the fundamental error in thinking we human beings are separate from earth: Independent, and not interdependent. Its abundantly clear if one is paying attention at all, human beings have "missed the mark." In our hubris we have forgotten the earth is our home, and even our mother, as most tribal cultures consider earth to be, and as such, we must repay our mothers with gratitude, respect, and honor for her gift of life
Tolerance as it is defined, tacitly implies the act of voluntarily choosing to accommodating, or "make room for," the behavior, and/or actions of another which may be different, or in seeming opposition to our own. With this understanding of tolerance, we must also begin to ask ourselves what these images of our planet suffering, at war, and in ill health, reflect to us about ourselves? At what point will we no longer "tolerate" our actions that believe the truth of our interdependence with earth, one another, and all other organisms within our environment. How long will earth bear the burden of our actions, and how long will we go on acting as if we bear no burden?
We must be the change we want to see in the world.

A Convenient Truth
"There is nothing so powerful as truth." - Daniel Webster
I must first address that this interview sequence with Sequoyah Trueblood was recorded in the fall of 2005. Way before the release of Al Gore's "Incovienent Truth". What your about to hear and see is not being produced to harm or tarnish Al Gore nor Molly Olson's image. Its only provided as cultural commentary on what we all could take a look at. Our mistakes, failures and the missed opporunties. We take a look back to the years of 1993-1994 with insight by Sequoyah Trueblood and his visit along with other messengers of the North American Indigenous world. It also points to the seriousness of our situation of which Al Gore is commended on his being an outspoken messenger of our future. Mr. Thomas Berry 91 who by all accounts would be considered the Grandfather of the Eco-Sphere and a great messenger of our future, is included in this doc-short. He is referenced as "Sir Father Thomas Berry". I as a filmmaker took this only liberty to give the title "SIR" to this amazing human being. He is not a knighted individual, but in my book he is more than a Knight he is a Noble. Its unfortunate that his work is not made as popular as such films as an Incovient Truth. My hopes are that you will do your homework on finding our more about Thomas Berry and his great contribution to nature and humanity.
This same day the filmmaker was interviewing Mr. Thomas Berry, in the early summer of 2006, Al Gore appeared that night on Larry Kings CNN. As I sat in the hotel room in North Carolina, I could not help but video document this historic message being delivered by Al Gore. It is provided as an example of our own illusions and deceptions we all have faced as leaders of our own self.
We are facing something much bigger than Global Warming, the indigenous peoples have talked about this day for many thousands of years. While we might take the time to bask in the limelight of our own ego, we are faced with very serious and dire circumstances should we not heed the call of not only Al Gore, Thomas Berry and many others, but the call of all Indigenous peoples all over the world. We must search for an even bigger vision than just Global Warming. Let use not fool ourselves, we are faced with many levels of catastrophic possibilities. We must listen to them and we must use there wisdom now more than ever.
I must put great emphasis on the background sound of what seems to sound like Jets flying overhead and to have those who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear to look at what the Thunder Beings mean to the Native American Peoples. I state with all honesty that these jet type sounds are not overlaid over the video but are in fact recorded live on tape.
"Native American tradition honors the existence of Thunder Beings. These Thunder Beings are understood by Native Americans to be messengers from the powers on high, the Star People (extraterrestrial visitors). The Thunder Beings are a force for both dissolution and re-creation. In the Plains Indian tradition, a person who has a visit by a Thunder Being, in person, in vision or in dream, becomes a heyoka, a "contrary". [4] This heyoka then customarily soon starts behaving in a way opposite to the conventions of the dominant culture. The heyoka does so, precisely in order to wake up society to see that there are other and fresher ways of doing things. Thus, the heyokais the human counterpart of the Thunder Beings, who repeatedly dissolve the existing order and fashion a new arrangement from the pieces"

Catastrophe As Opportunity: from the Ashes at Lama
The world in which we live spins wildly out-of-balanced. From natural resources being near exhaustion, industrial poisons indiscriminately dumped into waterways, chemical pesticides once used as weapons of war, now dumped by the gallons on our food sources and injected into our soils, while global warming gives rise to temperatures significant enough to cause catastrophic fires, hurricanes and the melt of the Polar Ice Cap. With warning signs like these, still most refuse to see the edge of collapse to which we all live perilously close. There are those however, who see this edge in clear view. Travel with us as we visit one such community of seers. Among Americas oldest

Eco-Village Tour with Albert Bates
The Farm www.thefarm.org is a spiritual intentional community in Summertown, Tennessee, based on principles of nonviolence and respect for the Earth. The Farm was founded in 1971 by Stephen Gaskin and 320 San Francisco hippies.
The focus of this eco tour video-pod is on the Ecovillage Training Center, a learning center for sustainability founded by Albert Bates. The Ecovillage Training Center is a living workshop environment where you can learn organic food production, natural building, permaculture and how to create and live in harmony within the means of nature. This video pod is an educated walkthrough intended to create a window into some of these eco methodologies and green technologies as well as thoughts and ideas by Albert regarding the creation of an ecovillage and the need to scale down our wants and needs.
Albert Bates: http://www.thefarm.org/lifestyle/albertbates/akb.html
Director of the Global Village Institute for Appropriate Technology since 1984 and the Ecovillage Training Center at The Farm in Tennessee since 1994, where he has taught sustainable design, natural building, permaculture and restoration ecology to students from more than 50 nations.
