What is unsaid here is what truly unites these diverse groups: a deep, spiritual awareness that everything is interconnected, that we're all in the same boat, in humans' case, Earth. The corporate greed that is destroying civilization & the planet is a form of spiritual blindness, a lack of awareness that we're all connected. It's "every man for himself," which means the "Cheneys" will destroy each other. Ultimately, those with a unity consciousness will prevail.

It is time indeed to conceive the social phenomenon's fate issue as it is expressed by it's underminers: a question of seriousness to protect wisdom and nature against bad and greed !

Good time from h ttp://journal-ho-net.fr.gd

If you had the opportunity to read the book then you would understand what he meant. I got it from the dollar store and read it, I was stunned. I recently left the US and I had to leave the book behind. It's with Goodwill right now.

Grow up and smell the roses . purest turn in fanatics and this world has no room for fanatics like you. His book hopefully encourage others just like this video, move on or get off the tracks so others can pass by.

Not down with the slight he made against the "male vertebrate". And in his entire speech he never mentioned the Federal Reserve, IMF, and other central banking cartels. He should research more next time he wants to try to insult the "man". All these groups run off of donations. And that means they possibly can be bought, and their agendas can be skewed. So if this nice speech included a specific cabal of exactly the reason these groups need to exist, then I'm down.

[FinnJackson2]

A great video, until the point where you inserted the advertisement for the book.

I was enthused. Now I just feel sold to.

[davehshs]

@Latrat Perhaps, but can you think of any material, scientific "facts" that will convince the greedheads personified by Wall Street bankers that we are all connected? How will you "rationally" convince them that when they take far more than their fair share of Earth's bounty, they are ultimately hurting themselves as well as everyone else?

So, what exactly would we call this movement? I realize he says its an "unnamed" movement, but the description in this video raised more question than it provided answers for...can anyone help? perhaps im simply looking at this from the wrong angle...
