We, these mammals
known as human…
are neither fleet of foot,
nor strong of limb,
nor sharp of claw,
nor long of fang;
and yet we have
managed to survive,
and NOT only endure
but thrive.
Why is that?
Yes, we have thrived
partly due
to our big ol’ forebrains
BUT mainly because
our midbrains
(replete with anterior gyrate
and a firmament
of mirror neurons)
are wired for EMPATHY
as well as COOPERATION.
and (in teamwork
with our forebrain) wisdom.
These are NOT weaknesses
BUT strengths
as well as being
humanity’s only hope
of avoiding an apocalypse
of our own doing
either at the hands of industry
and climate change
or due to weapons of war
and nuclear winter.
Let us conclude
with a simple
call to action
In the Tibetan tradition Lamas are supported
by those who read their teachings
as such the production of these webinars, and videos, and livestreams,
and podcasts, and blogs, and class materials is supported
by the generosity of viewers, and listeners, and readers
just like you.
