...that we have been living on a planet whose resources are not actually infinite as earlier thought and whose receptacles for waste have not been infinite, either.
.
. There was worldwide realization that Humankind has been overloading the planet and overextracting from it. That realization of entire nations came to be reflected in a formal summit meeting of their governments held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and that “Earth Summit” hammered out a big bouquet of earnest resolutions that even got to be translated into serious national laws and programs of action in a good number of the world’s countries.
.
. It was really like Humankind had finally regained its senses and found its unified will for good, to stand in reverence before the rest of the bio-diverse citizens and elements of our living planet Gaia, to take full responsibility for past and present environmental destruction that their scientists had diligently documented. Conscious of the collective desire for ensuring survival and sustained development in Our Common Future, we rediscovered love for Nature and for Life.
.
. But things were not to be seen for long through “green-colored lenses.” The super-conglomeration of corporate conglomerates, in short, the Empire, just had to Strike Back. The years before what could have been the second step to follow that big one in Rio, the Empire of Globalized Greed consolidated its mechanisms for “The Ten Commandments of the Golden Calf,” laid out a system of laws and multilateral agreements, and built up an immensely powerful enslaving entity called Worldwide Trading Organization. That hoped-for second step to be made in Johannesburg was stopped before the summit there could even begin.

. After The Empire Strikes Back, it leaves the Knights of the Force of Life and Oneness shocked and weakened: The gains at Rio had apprently been all but decimated and the direction had been reversed!
.
. Still, The Force of Life and Oneness has remained and is enabling us from within to rebuild the ramparts of the struggle against Globalized Greed, and the populace in each of these countries are awakening to the needed consensus that we can no longer depend on governments to advance and protect our crucial interest for sustainable survival. We are deciding to defend our homes and ourselves We are Reinventing the Will, our will!

. We are gradually deciding to stop our governments from habitually leading us by chains on ourr noses and from grossly misrepresenting our collective will. After these governments failed to Seal the Deal at Copenhagen for a unified workplan to combat climate change, the peoples of the world saw the slow but the sure emergence of a New Seed of hope and inspiration to seal ourr own deal among peoples, not among governments, to mount an Active Defense of the Environment and to do it right in ourr homes and fields and communities.

.
. The Force of Life and Oneness is with us – with you and me and with all who freely, clearly, and firmly decide to be with us. Dare we actively defend the life, dignity and innate wisdom of Humankind and of Nature? Armed with the "New Seed" of inspiration and actions, we might not even need any laser swords for this!
