The great Gandhi once said- “The western man fills his closet with grocery’s and calls himself self sustainable”
Here are just a few ideas on what we Earth Muffins have been thinking about, and why we are making changes in our own lives.
Life -The more your life is in your own hands, the more it is an experience of liberty and pleasure
vs.
Survival-The more you think you need to survive the harder you work. The more you work the less you live
Play-The more pleasure you take in your activities, the more freely you share the fruits. The more freely you give an receive, the more your life can be a game rather than a struggle
vs.
Work-The more you work, the more you feel the need to be compensated for your sacrifice. The less freely you give and receive, the harder you have to work to provide for yourself
Gift Giving-The more you share with others the more they share with you, and the more thankful you are for one another’s existence. The more you love, the more freely you give.
vs.
Exchange-Force is always present where exchange must be negotiated, where giving is not practiced for its own sake. The more you depend on force, the less you can give and receive freely.
Love-The more you love, the more you trust. The more you trust, the more you can love
vs.
Force-The more you depend on force the more you have to fear. The less you trust the more you depend on force.
Faith-The more you trust the world, the more wonderful things you recognize in it. The more you recognize the treasures life has to offer, the more faith you have in it.
vs.
Fear-The more you fear the world, the less you recognize what it offers. The less you recognize what the world has to offer, the less you trust
Abundance-The more you can recognize the opportunities life offers, the more you can take advantage of them. The more full and free life is, the easier it is to recognize all the opportunities and treasure it has to offer.
vs.
Scarcity-The less you trust the world, the less you see what it has to offer. The less you live, the less you see what the world has to offer
This video here talks a lot about what we are trying to say
