A GAIAN PARADIGM
Jun 20 2008, 3:34 PM EDT This book in progress creates a social paradigm basedon on the Gaia theory. I speculates that Gaia (theEarth and all of is live forms) is a unit and evolves as a unity. Every part, including every humans, is linked to a interdepending with every other part. This suggest cultures radically different from the current EuroAmerican world domineering culture.

A Gaia Creed
Jun 27 2008, 7:39 AM EDT A GAIAN CREED ALL THAT IS -- IS WEBS OF BEING We belong to the Webs-of-being - - to the Cosmos - - to Earth - to Gaia. Belonging is the protovalue from which all other values derive. We belong to the physiophere, to the biosphere, to the ideosphere. We belong to Gaia. As the aborigines said it ““we are the ownees of the land, not the owners of the land.” As Chief Seattle said it, “ We can not own the land, we are part of the land. ” We belong to and are inseparable from our culture-- from one another --from Earth -- from Gaia. We are interdependent with all that is. Belonging is scientific fact; and, belonging is more than scientific fact. Belonging is not merely “being a member of”, but it is being subject to- being in partnership with - - being responsible for. We belong to -- are responsible for --- the webs -of-being -- the universe -- the Earth -- Gaia. Belonging to-Gaia means recognizing that we are enmeshed in the webs-of-being and that our well-being is dependent on the well-being of Gaia. If we destroy Gaia, we destroy ourselves.
