Reseña del libro "Total Reset: Realigning with our timeless holistic blueprint for living (en Inglés)"
In 1991 the author met Lulu, a widely-respected Aboriginal elder and powerful maban (shaman) in the remote Kimberley region of Australia who asked Greg to work with him and the Goolarabooloo people to write one book. Its purpose was clear: enable people to view reality through the lens of original knowledge and apply it for the well-being of one another and our Whole Earth system. Total Reset is the result of the 31-year collaboration.Though many are increasingly concerned about what is happening on our planet as its sixth mass extinction event unfolds (the first driven by people), the focus is usually on the latest cracks in the dam wall and how to fix them. The root cause - the dam's existence in the form of the constructs of post-Neolithic societies - remains unaddressed. As a result, the only change in a multi-millennia trajectory towards the precipice is the speed, which appears to be going exponential. Traditional Indigenous elders such as Lulu maintain that sapiens' original knowledge provided all peoples with a blueprint for living respectfully on Earth. Known by the First Australians as First Law (and by others as Earth Law or Natural Law), it operated from Day One to preserve the balance of all life. No ordinary blueprint, it is a cosmic pattern showing the elements of the whole system and their connectedness; a holistic model able to be fully embraced by all peoplePart 1 of Total Reset considers how humanity's present predicament arose, provides an evidence-backed summation of our world's endangered state and then contrasts modern socio-economic settings with those of traditional Indigenous peoples. Interwoven through information-rich chapters are stories from the author's life illustrating how opening to the oneness reality positively impacts individuals and society. Part 2 explores sapiens' original knowledge of unified modes of living and being on Earth, pointing to commonalities of the structures, systems and ways of the many different societies of our world's oldest continuous cultures, those of the First Peoples of Australia. It is enriched by stories of the author's experiences with Lulu and his people. Part 3 begins with a classic illustration of the exploitative nature of modern societies by describing the 2005-13 Battle for Walmadany when some of the world's largest corporations joined with governments to industrialise sacred land. Their failure to overcome the Goolarabooloo's inspired defence brought into focus life-affirming alternatives to exploitative mindsets and practices. When anyone looks at reality through the lens of original knowledge such as that shared in Total Reset, it opens boundless opportunities for innovative solutions to remove threats to the continuity of all life and drive a return to balance. Accordingly, Part 3 outlines some of many possible strategies - at the global, national, regional/local and individual levels. They include the regeneration of autonomous, interdependent local communities anchored by holistic worldviews where custodial care of a toxic-free natural world is demonstrated, non-financial values prevail and notions of kinship and self are expanded. At this critical time in the human saga, the real solution is not a further expansion of globalist rule under the guise of The Great Reset, it is a rapid evolutionary adaptation in the form of a Total Reset of how people live on Earth, propelling the re-emergence of societies free of wars of conquest and control, whose people live in a non-disruptive balanced relationship with the natural world and experience meaningful, empowered lives of dignity and freedom. After all, the evidence suggests it is how the First Peoples lived for not less than 2,600 generations.
