Breaking the interconnectedness of life

Destruction of the pattern that connects
Extreme disturbance of the web of life

Nature

Chinese and Ayurvedic cosmologies define disease as a breaking of the interconnectedness of life, including the balance between mind and body as themselves linked to community, environment and the universe.

Claim

The environmental crisis is rooted in the extreme disturbance of the web of life that is part of human consciousness.

Humans are psychologically affected by the overall loss of biological and cultural diversity. Indigenous peoples express their profound concerns at this disturbance in cultural and spiritual terms precisely because they recognize the deep-rootedness of the disturbance.
