“It is clear that the animals and plants are directly aware that a radical transformation is happening. There isn’t merely ‘another world’ that is the mind of nature, there are almost infinite layers of intelligence in nature that, while still accessible, humans have forgotten ‘the protocols’ for contact with (this is, in part, due to our overwhelming fascinations with representations (i.e. words/images), objects and machines — which replace or cannot participate in these primordial relationships).

Many indigenous ‘traditions’ still contain remnants of some of the methods with which our people were once able to participate directly in relationships with the intelligences of nature. Some few of us have retained various degrees of these abilities and are still able to take part in the old relationships. We can sense something of both the nature and depth of the transformations that are now occurring, and we are not unaware of their origins and purposes.

While there is no need to put too fine a point on it, the humans have not merely broken the ancient agreements with the living world, they have obliterated them with unimaginable hubris. Anyone who has experience with the consequences of such hubris will understand the gravity of the resulting situations.

We long ago passed the point of no return, as a species, and as nations… even though we did not necessarily personally approve of the activities of the collectives.

Now, there will be consequences — and their origins are as certain as their severity.”
