Right now, the world is starting to have a lot of natural disasters, like the earthquake in Tokyo and Ecuador, both in the same week. Also the volcano in Mexico, and others... We all know, we are not being good with the world in which we live in. We kind of know, sooner or later something big is going to happen, but still we don’t do anything about it.
I recommend you to watch the documentary Aluna. I believe it will make you question why we tend to separate ourselves (humans) from Nature, when we are actually part of it.
¨ALUNA is made by and with the KOGI, a genuine lost civilization hidden on an isolated triangular pyramid mountain in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, nearly five miles high, on the Colombian-Caribbean coast. The Kogi say that without thought, nothing could exist. This is a problem, because we are not just plundering the world, we are dumbing it down, destroying both the physical structure and the thought underpinning existence. The Kogi believe that they live in order to care for the world and keep its natural order functioning, but they recognized some years ago that this task was being made impossible by our mining and deforestation. In 1990 they emerged to work with Alan Ereira, making a 90-minute film for BBC1 in which they dramatically warned of our need to change course. Then they withdrew again.¨
