As a result of that event, what I had learned earlier became clear. I knew that my demise, the public resistance to solar energy, and a host of environmental and many other types of problems were all a result of a much bigger, deeper and older problem. I stepped back to think about what had happened to me after the energy show, and with a little introspection quickly reaffirmed what I had always known, that the state of this man's consciousness, represented the problem—his actions were one miniscule manifestation of a collective error in consciousness.
The destruction of the environment is a result of how man sees himself—the way he conceptualizes his relationship with reality and the earth. A handful of core beliefs each person adopts through enculturation produce ideas which lead to criminal or selfish actions on the part of millions. Beliefs, thoughts and emotions determine a person's actions in life. It's the state of humanity's consciousness that is responsible for and produces the greed and the rape of the earth and thus our children. Good learning that goes deep will solve the problem, especially when youth are the recipients of the education being offered. What we need is a shift in consciousness whereby our current way of thinking about the world changes. Einstein once said, “The problems that face us cannot be solved at the same level of consciousness that created them.” What we need is a shift in consciousness. The younger one is, the easier it is to achieve.
Luckily I knew these truths as a boy, and so after the aforementioned theft of my solarium business at the Hartford energy show I set my sights higher, to solve a more fundamental problem of huge proportions. This was an issue of our basic conscious makeup as is passed down through norms and enculturation, the resolution of which would cure far more than just environmental destruction.
I didn't at first succeed here either, however, because prior to publication my manuscript and back-up disks for my book YOUR FUTURE, on how to solve all of humanity's problems and bring about an ideal future was stolen by agents of law enforcement and government.
