“It is the delusion that the self is so separate and fragile that we must delineate and defend its boundaries; that it is so small and so needy that we must endlessly acquire and endlessly consume; and that as individuals, corporations, nation-states, or a species, we can be immune to what we do to other beings.”

~ Joanna Macy

“The crisis that threatens our planet, whether seen in its military, ecological, or social aspect, derives from a dysfunctional and pathological notion of the self. It derives from a mistake about our place in the order of things.” 1/2

“Robert Bellah calls for a moral ecology. ‘We have to treat others as part of who we are,’ he says, ‘rather than as a ‘them’ with whom we are in constant competition.

“To Robert Bellah, I respond, ‘It is happening.’ It is happening because of three converging developments.”

“First, the conventional small self, or ego-self, is being psychologically and spiritually challenged by confrontation with dangers of mass annihilation.

The second force working to dismantle the ego-self is a way of seeing that has arisen out of science. From living systems theory and systems cybernetics emerges a process view of the self as inseparable from the web of relationships that sustain it.

The third force is the resurgence in our time of nondualistic spiritualities.”

~ Joanna Macy

An #asstodon sunset. Wishing y’all some peace and good company.

Juries are starting to refuse to return guilty verdicts for climate protestors charged with tiny offenses against the property of fossil fuel companies. The reason? The jurors acknowledge that these companies have been torching the whole biosphere with impunity and reject the claim to property damage by the protestors. https://juststopoil.org/2024/06/05/jury-finds-just-stop-oil-supporters-not-guilty-in-petrol-pump-case/

The do-donk-a-hedron is their second favorite toy… after the traffic cone.

“I found this attached to the barn and was doing a bit of tidying up so I removed it for you.”

Arturo: Aaargh let me go see the human and receive his love-scratches.

Manuel: <barricading> Ha, if anyone is getting love-scratches it’s going to be me.

Me: If you guys like being scratched so much have you considered not rolling in the mud at every opportunity?

Good morning, all. And welcome to #asstodon

Ever ready to lend a helping hoof, the burritos are now doing their best to rake up the manure. #asstodon #silentsunday

Dissatisfied with the lack of progress on the cleanup job, Arturo the burro is now trying to show Manuel the correct way to use the rake. #asstodon
