Monday Book Nook: Bill Moyers’ interview of activist Vandana Shiva
Bill Moyers’ interview of activist Vandana Shiva. I have often mentioned Dr. Shiva in posts, as she greatly inspires me on a personal level, as well as stands at the fore of causes I feel very strongly about. In this interview Dr. Shiva shows several principles of dreaming. First, she points out the story (pshat) of this linear world – the mechanistic, hierarchical, antiquated-science view of life, earth, and human’s role in it. She outlines the patterns (remes). Then, she dreams it anew, giving deeper meaning (drash – there is no separation) and new perspectives, shifting out of the linear into the vertical. And both realities exist simultaneously. This is how it is to start a dreaming revolution – begin to see the alternative that already exists and shift focus and attention to it. I so very highly recommend this short interview. Let’s dream this world anew!
