My God, may I ask You. I read an interview with Wouter van Dieren, artist and journalist among others, who is a member of the Club of Rome and co-founder of Milieudefensie, a Dutch protest organization about the state of nature. More than 40 years ago he proclaimed what the world is beginning to realize nowadays that we are seriously destroying nature. Would You like to comment on this, is it not all too late and did mankind listen enough to him and his fellowmen?
My son, he has indeed proved to be “lonely crying in the wilderness” and
his approach to involve large organizations and the business community in
environmental problems has not been sufficiently followed. Wouter van Dieren is
a visionary and rightly seriously concerned about nature and how mankind is dealing
with it. If mankind had listened more to him and his assiciates, the situation
was not that dramatic. But it's never too late. Even though a lot of beauty is going
to be lost now. And mankind is only nowadays slowly realizing how to change, she
could not realize this before. Mankind and nature are facing one of the
greatest transformations in the history of planet earth and this transformation
will be accompanied by extreme crises and destruction.

Well the free will of man is holy to Us, but mother nature pays a very
high price for this. How large is the grief of many, in the spiritual world as
well, about the loss of much natural beauty and the disappearance from earth of
many plant and animal species that have been stayed here for millions of years!
And how long will mankind need to clean up all the mess!
Yet you should comfort yourself with the remark of the anthroposophiste
you once met. And who, after your sighing, how horrible it was that an animal
species died out, very sincerely exclaimed "what are you thinking materialisticly!"
For she articulated how the extinction of an animal species is merely a
shedding of a garment by the spiritual animal species. How matter follows the
mind and not the other way around. How the spiritual world continues on its path
to eternity and is hardly affected when its earthly counterpart disappears.
Think of it as an old piece of clothing that you throw away after you have worn
it, you are throwing it away with a certain sadness but you are done with it,
it is worn out. It is not the whole
story but still it articulates another perspective!
Wouter van Dieren and his associates are blessed. Eventually mankind
will listen to him and his associates, but unwillingly not willingly.
My blessings to you all
