One of the biggest challenges and greatest opportunities that face humanity today is that we have lost touch with our Oceans, ultimately Earth. We have become so accustomed to living in modern society that we barely know where our own food comes from, and we are not talking about the store. This continual separation from source to output has put us at risk for unknowingly supporting procedures and processes that might not be serving our long term goals, like living on a healthy planet.
Even considering where your water comes from. Do you happen to know? If you do, great! If you don’t, how would you find out? This new appreciation for understanding the system allows each of us to stop and re-connect back to where WE MATTER in the overall picture. This is the KEY to our continued success as a species: the evolution of knowing what provides for our current way of living and what it would take to sustain our lifestyle at this level. Consider how much Mother Earth has provided us unconditionally. Now it is time to give back to her.
Our focus at ECC and our greatest Mission is to act as a catalyst for becoming reconnected to our Oceans and our Earth. When we connect with nature, we also connect back to the deeper part of ourselves. This deeper connection then serves as a vehicle for transformation and benefits the whole!! In short, it is a path to peace, a feeling of unity with others, with our Oceans, with our planet, with our shared home. This is the ‘Elemental Key’, the GIFT of the New Decade upon us. It is something we will continue to strive for in our own interactions as humans, leaders and co-creators.
The ‘Gyre Cleanup Project’ offers us that doorway into the evolutionary process by connecting US together with a common VISION of a Healthy Planet. The first step however is to make that connection back to SELF, before we can give to others. This is what we continually put into question; how we can be sure to care for our own wholeness and our individual impact on this planet? Starting with our own actions helps us to take ownership of our impact and recognize that by making even small changes, we can make a difference. Have you noticed that it is easier to point fingers or blame than to take positive action? Well, we would like to make taking inspired action for a bigger Vision the norm!! Know that we here at the ECC, Gyre Cleanup Project, push ourselves into a new paradigm of connectedness and oneness in every interaction: first with ourselves, then with others and ULTIMATELY our planet! Will you join our mission to transform our view of Self within the Whole? Will you make the shift from blame to taking ownership of that which we can influence?
As you can see we view 2010 with 20/20 vision and know that the time is NOW to embark on the Journey of Oneness, to open the Elemental Key and to take responsibility for our actions.
