Is There a Solution for Climate Change? Bayo Akomolafe

For more information visit www.scienceandnonduality.com
In this talk Bayo Akomolafe poses a jarring question: What if the ways we think about the climate crisis is the crisis? More to the point, what if the feverish quest for "solutions" (which characterizes climate justice movements today) is getting in the way of radical transformation? Introducing stories and myths from African tradition, Bayo extends an urgent invitation to notice climate change as the deconstruction of the human, and to approach demise and dying as abundant fields of surprise--a radical discontinuity.

Wow, I have just discovered a new great mythopoetic philosopher, Bayo Akomolafe is amazing! We need to re-invent ourselves, how we think, how we interact with the world, this storytelling is profound.

latinoamerica los llama a despertar de una maldita vez por todas, a ustedes los europeo-norteamericanos estupidos

the most profound wisdom I have ever heard in my 51 years on this planet!

[@daviszollars3356]

That's a good analogy that we are like water being put into a new container. Changing what we perceive as ourselves up until this point in time.

Brilliant. Timely. A truly loving approach to how human evolution works. Historically, evolution happened without our consciousness. Now we can choose it. Or not.

Unbelievable... so much to unpack, so much to let in... Thank you! 💖

[@zazzyz4558]

Don’t think it needs ‘unpacking’. It’s not packed. It’s all there. Let it in.

[@MsAquamarine]

Thank you, what a beautiful being and the way you tell this is entangled as beautifully in love, truth and beauty x

[@TheHappyNisha]

I love this presentation! So authentic and informative and serious and fun too! :D I get the sense that Bayo knew what was to come towards us as part of our collective 'libation' process to include and embody 'water'. He speaks about it in the last 10 minutes of his talk here. What we are calling Corona phase or Covid.... could it be that this is the very necessary change he speaks of?

In Indian languages karuna is a word for compassion. Let's just call our guest karunavirus, because s/he's inviting us to slow down..... ..

Interesting take - no talk of greed, addiction, deception by he fossil-fuel companies... No talk of we have the capacity about technology but not the political will Even so, it has brought out those insane creatures (are they real?) who deny it

The ability to understand spirituality and the ability to comprehend the absorption and re-emission of infrared red radiation by carbon dioxide both require similar levels of consciousness. However, one does not have to comprehend every little thing at all levels to know that each is real. Search: ‘understand spirituality’ Search: ‘understand absorb reemit infrared radiation’

to those getting displaced because of oceans rising, collective suits against those who contribute to the oceans rising, the fossil fuel, coal burning and chemical trials and the usage of HARP to dislodge the jetstreams, I pray the suits are in the billions if not trillions for lose of homes and income.

I suggest a carbon tax. This way, certain powerful people can have a slush fund.
