If I look clearly at my own experience, although I have been deeply conditioned through language to believe otherwise, I do not find this 'awareness' that is the universal constant or watcher, that is upstream or beyond my thought. Instead there is a happening, an event, that is made up of many sensations, feelings, thoughts, sounds, sights and smells. There is an ever present happening which includes all that I am, and all that is, in one seamless expression. 

It's all immediate, just as it is, there is no little Renaee inside my head sitting at the dashboard pulling the levers making things happen or watching things happen.

The construction of my brain is not contained in the concept Alan Watts, and the concept Alan Watts does not contain the inseparable relationships which I have with all the rest of the universe.

And therefore that concept is a FRAUD. And when it's mistaken for the real me, there's a confusion because if somebody says to me, Alan Watts, do something about it, the concept, Alan Watts can't do anything.

In other words, because it's only a concept, you can't make it lift a weight, just as 3 is a concept. Three, the number three, you can't make just plain three do anything.

So, also you can't wrap up parcels with the equator. It's a useful imaginary line, but it can't do anything.

The city of Manningham declared a Climate Emergency back in January 2020 and are currently working toward review of their Draft Emergency Climate Action plan. MARG has submitted feedback to be included in the review process of this document, and hopes that this may broaden the scope of the existing plan and invite us into discussions on how to focus on Resilience and Adaptation to the Climate Crisis, rather than assuming that there is a solution to the Predicament we now face. 

Here is the link to the submission. 

In late 2018 the IPCC reported that we had until 2030 to change course and avert the worst outcomes of global warming. They stated that in order to do this we had to achieve a 7.5% cut in emissions per year for 10 consecutive years.

To give you an idea of the rate of change this would require, see this graph below. The black line shows how much emissions have risen historically, while the green and blue lines represent how much emissions would need to fall to stay under the 1.5% target.

What would this actually look like in our daily lived experience?
