Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth says, “The collective egoic mind is the most dangerously insane and destructive entity to ever inhabit this planet.”
I believe he is right. Einstein says that we are under a kind of optical delusion that makes us think we are separate individuals when we are really part of the whole. Einstein also says that we can't solve a problem with the same consciousness that created it. Changing consciousness is deeper than changing your mind. You sense it in your whole being.
Cutting back on energy to cut greenhouse gas emissions will give a whole new meaning to the word sharing. How do we go from competing to sharing? I think Tolle's books or CDs are a great place to start. Tolle has also written The Power of Now. I highly
recommend both.
