Revolution is called for.

The word "Earth" needs to be always capitalized, in recognition of the fact that it cannot be divided into parts. It is one functioning whole. Not capitalizing the word implies the philosophical mistake that humans can own things. New science confirms the ancient recognition that all things are unbreakably connected.

Unless we wake up to the fact that all life is one, God (or the Universe, or The Force or whatever you want to call It) will cause the economy to collapse - via environmental changes not being considered in most financial analyses - in order to return us to our connectedness. We need a declaration of Jubilee to return the money system to square one - everyone equal. Do ye not hear the very stones cry out?

It will require courageous and imaginative changes to how we measure economic success, organize our financial system, even the very way we create money...
