Belonging to a place

Welcome spring! Some thoughts on belonging to a place and what that means in the context of our human needs. Mentions: "The word irreality in this book is not intended to signify what is usually meant by unreal, not real, or ethereal. Irreality is used to denote the very common strange and unfortunate collective condition whereby an utterly unhealthy, non-same, unnatural, totally synthetic, technologically choreographed environment with no awareness or regard for the Holy in Nature becomes the cultural environment of a people, who without questioning it, live in its trance, accepting it all as perfectly normal. This is not unreal because it most certainly tangibly exists, but this neurotic human-centred mess is irreal because its “reality” is man-made and of no use to the organic human soul: it is an irreality." —Martín Prechtel, The Unlikely Peace at Cuchumaquic: The Parallel Lives of People as Plants: Keeping the Seeds Alive (2012) If you have comments about this episode or topics you'd like me to explore in future episodes, please submit them here:   https://www.rachellelamb.com/contact-rachelle
