With stress, depression and health issues nearly becoming the norm in our 21st century contemporary society - 'there is fortunately another way out.' This is by taking a sacred journey into the very being of nature, where it begins with stepping out of our daily routines, strict plans, work and 'to do' lists, allowing space for the great mystery to be our guide.

Osher River Oriyah is an intuitive healer, author, storyteller, performing artist, and early childhood specialist based on Waiheke Island. Michael Fleck is co-founder of Good Company Pacific Cultural Journeys.

Why do people go on retreats, pilgrimages, hikoi, and sacred journeys? What is it that calls them and beckons them to step onto the sacredness of this path of the natural world and into places for deep healing and inner peace. A safe place, where we recover our essential joy and purpose, and at the same time, activate the healing of our mother planet? Yet more so, that behind the filmiest of screens awaits yet another world, and the question - who are our 'hidden' companions?

Osher who originally comes from Israel in many ways a desert country, went to the US and there met with Native American women who changed her perception about life – from the standpoint of recognising the natural world – where nature was alive! And where nature held a key to her wellbeing, happiness and joy.

That also inside her she became aware of a great teacher that connected with her spiritual unfoldment within the new paradigm of love and unity. This being based on moving away from fear and into love whilst living in a day to day existence.

Michael – originally from the US, previously had taken Hawaiian elders and kahunas to Rarotonga for a Pacifica festival – and that it shaped his wanting to do the same through Aotearoa, by taking people out of the ordinary – beyond our everyday perceptions and intuitively tune into the vastness of natures process. To make a connection to this country and to see the natural beauty as being sacred. In particular, working with the group dynamics of everyone in that group 'having an intention' to want to 'be together' and be in a mindful state - to see and experience the sacred in everything. Thus lifting one's state of being and allow one to 'feel' the subtle energies that most of us miss, that yet have always been embedded in nature's beauty.

That the participants over time during these journeys, in melting into nature, become inevitably transformed in mysterious ways and shifts their awareness to realise a spiritual connection especially to the land and mother earth. Hence they are called sacred journeys. Nurturing us in a supportive group setting – all intent in growing their inner capacity to love and express newly realised joy.

Michael - In setting the field states; there are both man made energy fields and natural fields that surround us and a sacred journey is one where we step into the natural field of energies and for a small window in time, bathe our being in bird songs, insects sound, whispering waters and fragrant blossom scents.He mentions insect sounds like crickets chirping when slowed down to the same correlation of a human life to a cricket's life - time wise – the sounds of those crickets sound like angelic music. Gary Cook's 'soft wired' up trees, emit much melodic like sound, too.

That we are totally surrounded by information 360 degrees and are inundated by the information age too, but we are missing out on the elemental kingdom.

Osher - Talks of her sacred journey into the unseen, that when she removed herself from the day to day basics of ordinary life and stepped over the threshold into the realm of the elemental world. Her journey was one of healing post traumatic stress from her mind to finally enter the heart and it open up a connection to become more at one to nature via the sacredness of this journey. Dropping out of the mundane – all her beliefs that she had - created fell away.

Osher tells of her connection to the elemental kingdom and what the Aotearoan maori call the Patupaiarehe or Tūrehu the fairy folk – listen

Of karakia - prayer, is very important to do when – visiting sacred trees, rivers, power points, situations, views, beaches, portals, and intuitively breaking out into singing spontaneous song.

In the shade of a giant kauri and having reverence for the forest giant Osher said she was told that the reason why the kauri's were dying is because 'the humans species vision is dying' – due to disconnection from the grandeur and magnificence of nature and her exquisite beauty.

Michael - "We can empty ourselves of all that contemporary culture pours into us, and in that emptiness, we recognise the everpresent subtle rhythms and songs of the natural world, bathing us in refreshing innocence and delight."

This is exceptionally important to acknowledge, as we need to soften and allow a warm and curious innocence to take place.

Osher - yes! And open to more play and playfulness – having been born in Israel, with its conflicts – Osher's journey – finally into nature here in NZ softened and healed her heart and it softened to where she is now engaging with natures unfoldment and sharing this awareness with journeys into the natural realm of the forests, rivers and sacred places throughout NZ.

Seriousness has fallen away to be replaced with joy and laughter

Osher tells story of her contact with the elementals in Coromandel and that they save two songs with her - Listen

In today's world intuition has been replaced by thinking – the so called left brain – that is very linear and focused on detail such as measuring and quantifying, where as the intuitive opens us wider to a greater vision plus poetic inspiration …

Osher talks about the healing virtues of nature, of Gaia (Mother Earth) and from her previous challenges coming out of war torn Israel – that if she can through nature and song, heal her being - she openly states - that anyone can – all they need to do is take that journey into the natural realm, into the garden again. We just have to have faith that we can heal our being and once again find our heart and that when caressed by nature's symphony of outrageous beauty – healing can take place for joy to burst forth – we … just need to take that leap!

She mentions her up and coming sacred journey through the Coromandel that people can join. Plus the wisdom from the plant kingdom and plant medicine, that can be learnt along the way.

Come and step out into the unknown ...

Last century, NZ became the first major country to become Nuclear Free. Thanks to the work of dedicated activists supported by thousands of ordinary New Zealanders we are still essentially GE & GMO Free today, too.

Can we quickly mobilise the populace, especially loving mothers, so as to empower all district councils, towns and cities nationwide to enact laws against the rollout of 5 G wireless networks?

The propaganda war is increasing exponentially as financially flush Telcos, like Spark, Vodafone and 2 Degrees - 'spin' the benefits of streaming nonstop media to our smartphones and target our unknowing youth.

All the while they are saturating the environment and us with intensifying frequencies from ubiquitous cell phone towers…Now they are planning to place new more powerful radiation-emitting "small cells" around 250 metres apart in our cities and towns.

Yet, we have not been told of the 'health benefits' - as there are none!

On the contrary, knowledgeable scientists and health professionals have been warning us against this coming technology as the wireless industry has migrated from 1G to 2G to 3G and 4G. https://www.5gappeal.eu/ .

Now "Big Wireless" wants to introduce 5G and flood our neighbourhoods with even more wireless radiation whilst at the same time cancer and ill effects keep escalating countrywide. This is also now slowly overwhelming NZ's 'free' national health system.

No, this is not a scare tactic - do the research yourself.

150 years ago - there was no microwave radiation other than extremely low levels from the sun and an occasional pulsar in space - coming in from millions of light years away.

Now we are metaphorically wading through a jelly of accelerating magnitude of microwaves and other artificial forms of electromagnetic radiation - and the general health and wellbeing of the populace has not been taken into consideration.

Nor has the health of nature, the biota within the biosphere such as animals and especially your pets, your cats and dogs - plus insects, bees and all trees and plants. http://www.5g.org.nz/2018/10/06/like-trees-enjoy-breathing-oxygen-you-should-oppose-5g/

Where is the scientific evidence proving that this latest technology is safe?

It is known (listen to the interview) that the telecommunications industry along with broadcasting - be it TV or radio and in particular the relationship to 'smart' phones – had a huge amount of influence in the development of the current standards in NZ as to what sort of level of microwave and other wireless radiation is acceptable and where cellular phone infrastructure can be sited.

There was negligible input from people who were advocates for 'human health' involved in the process of setting NZ's current standards.

This was an 'inside' job, almost completely focussed on how it would benefit the telecommunications industry and profits. What this means that essentially no consideration to 'due diligence' or 'the precautionary principle' was taken in relation to biological life - meaning we humans!

So how do we relay this information to ordinary New Zealanders when we realise that MSM, mainstream media, the Fourth Estate have reneged on their duties to inform you the public.

Well, just like the many loving mothers and concerned ordinary New Zealanders back in the 1980's who did not want to be targeted in a nuclear war between the USA and the Soviet Union - when we had no say what so ever in the matter other than we were obliged to go and do whatever America decreed.

So thoughtful New Zealanders became activated and banded together over tea and coffee and gatherings or all manner of situations to convince local council, boroughs, towns and eventually city councillors to enact Nuclear Free Zones across the whole country.

That finally when around 105 councils across the nation representing about 76% of the electorate happened, it gave the mandate to David Lange, Prime Minister of the 4th Labour Government to make NZ - 'Nuclear Free NZ.' And be a beacon of peace to the world.

This continues to be followed up in relation to becoming a GE and GMO Free country as well. With Hastings/Napier becoming GE Free, and all of Northland now becoming the largest GE Free area in New Zealand.

However we have arrived at a crunch time.

The previous NZ National Government in realising that people power was still prevalent and that GE Free activists were writing submissions, signing petitions and attending meetings and gatherings to advise and invigorate local Councils - that ordinary citizens did not want this unhealthy biotech in their regions.

The Government took action. They decided to keep 'control' of the narrative by endeavouring to usurp the power of local councils, towns and cities from governing their own local areas and regions. The Government wanted to prohibit councils from passing by-laws banning GE and GMO's. Fortunately the High Courts of the land sided with the Councils.

However, we cannot be at all sure how the present Government will react to such a powerful global technology that is omnipresent and in everyone's lives.

Why? Because (with the exception of putting out a consultation which appears to have been basically intended to elicit feedback from the telecommunications industry) they have remained deathly silent all of this year!

So the game plan is to share this information as much as possible especially texting this to family members and talk about this at the table, when hanging out with friends - because there is an imperative for New Zealanders to come together, share, cooperate and collaborate and start the movement to make NZ a 5G Free Country.

There is a 5G information website for NZ which is www.5G.org.nz

The pivotal story around Transhumanism is between those who believe in a soul or a spiritual connection to those who are essentially atheists and believe that once we die we exist no more. Hence the need for people who do not want to die and cease forever, is that they continue their life by endeavoring to shift their consciousness into a machine or robot.

This interview neatly intersects with last weeks interview with Roy Harlow on Artificial Intelligence - AI - so if you enjoy this interview - you will really get a hit from Roys powerful interview.

This is one version of how Transhumanism is perceived:

The Transhumanist agenda is more than just Artificial Intelligence (AI), or robots taking over human jobs, or transgender restrooms at public facilities to accommodate an ever growing push for uniformity among the masses.

Transhumanism is Posthumanism. It is humanism with the optimism taken out, a movement that advocates for the transformation and the "advancement of humanity through technology" that runs the gamut from nanotechnology to AI. This paradigm is not limited to gadgets and medicine but also molds social, economic, cultural, institutional design, language, and the psyche.

To be clear, Transhumanism is a manufactured endpoint to human evolution…

Rosanne Lindsay, ND

This is the Technocratic viewpoint:

Transhumanism is a way of thinking about the future that is based on the premise that the human species in its current form does not represent the end of our development but rather a comparatively early phase.

Transhumanism is a loosely defined movement that has developed gradually over the past two decades.

Transhumanism is a class of philosophies of life that seek the continuation and acceleration of the evolution of intelligent life beyond its currently human form and human limitations by means of science and technology, guided by life-promoting principles and values.

Max More (1990)

The conjoining of man and machine?

Today's technologies are becoming so much part of our daily life, many futurists and technologists see a time when humans will merge with machines, or is it that machines will merge with humans? We already have heart pacemakers, artificial knees, ear pieces, teeth implants etc, whilst the list becomes longer each year.

So the gulf between "human" and "machine" is closing. Machine learning has enabled virtual reality to feel more "real" than ever before, and AI's replication of processes that were once confined to the human brain is ever-improving. Both are bringing technology into ever-closer proximity with the human body.

Bringing in Balance?

Regarding the human condition, there is a lot of focus placed on basic computational skills of our left frontal lobes - but it needs to be balanced by emotional intelligence which is part of our intelligence and in more common parlance our heads and hearts have to be working together - and that is true intelligence

What is Soul and what is Consciousness?

So, what is soul and what is consciousness? We need to extend this debate - hugely - what is the primacy of consciousness to the extent - is consciousness all there is? That beneath the subatomic realm into the quantum field - does this connect at the deepest level into - consciousness? Sir Arthur Eddington said, 'the stuff of the universe is mind stuff' whilst Sir James Jeans said; 'the universes was one great thought."

Robin mentions that we also need to consider that our intelligence also involves compassion, care and love and it is so important as we embark in this new era of the computerised realm and that we must not lose our humanity - which is hugely important for our survival as a species and our planet's survival as a habitat for biota, but we also have a responsibility of guardianship - as well as for our flora and fauna - and that is only sensible because they look after us.`

'Out of the body" and "near death" experiences confirm that humans have a detachable consciousness. (Soul Travel?)

'Out of the body' and 'near death' experiences are now experienced by more and more people (as the world population expands)

We have to cover the important information of 'near death' and 'out of the body experiences.' as the information that the experiencer relays, after the event is incontrovertible There is now ample data on people from all cultures and all walks of life experiencing looking down at their bodies, be it a sports field, a car crash, a heart attack or stroke or being operated on in a hospital. The question then who is that 'I'?

That from a standpoint of soul or a spiritual body signifies that even the non material or non corporeal body can 'not only see, but remember as well.'

See Dr's Raymond Moody, Kenneth Ring and Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Who have spent their life times researching this astounding subject. Then from the doubters viewpoint - that all people who say such things is that they were hallucinating and that the mind is playing tricks on them. Even though the people who were looking down on their bodies remember very clearly all the very concerned conversations that were happening as the doctors frantically worked at keeping their body alive. Telling them afterwards what exclamations were said and what particular actions and even mistakes were made. That upon 'coming back' - come out of it and they know it was ' Not time for them' - and they also never fear death as being the end.

After experiencing these paranormal events, they become infused with compassion as well as a knowingness that will never allow them to doubt - and that life after death is a certainty.

The 'Precautionary Principle'

If we are going to be 'smart' about all this - we need to be cautious as to how machines 'blend' with humans - if that's the right word says Robin. What about purpose, compassion and intent - what does it feel to be full and feel joy and fulfilment? Do we through our unknowingness allow certain things to filter into our consciousness - our ordinary day awareness - and conversely what are we finding out and also letting in. Are we conduits or walking antennae? Many mystics would agree.

Like when we are asleep or meditating. What are the processes? Like at one end of the colour spectrum we have infrared and the other end - ultraviolet - animals and insects perceive certain colours and hear certain sounds that are of a different frequency - yet we humans cannot.

So as we embark into augmenting what it is to be human into machines - we humans may be so unknowing especially of what is life and the 'feelings' of what it is to live, to have children and to die That this all may be sublimated by the workings of an austere stark, machine intelligence.

The Transhuman Perspective

Covering Ray Kersweil of Google as one of the more out there proponents of Trans humanism - and his statement is about the great coming 'singularity' where computer intelligence will completely leapfrog/bypass human intellect and capabilities.

Breakthroughs in biological engineering are coming so fast we can't predict how they will develop going forward. Crispr, a new type of gene editing technology is transforming our ability to design and edit the genome, was completely unanticipated; experts thought it was impossible ... until it wasn't. Next-generation gene sequencing is decreasing in price, far faster than Moore's Law for processors. In many ways, bioengineering is moving faster than computing. Today most promising of nine broad approaches to mortality and aging are genome stability, telomere extension, epigenetics, proteostasis, caloric restriction, mitochondrial research, cell senescence, stem cell exhaustion, and intercellular communication. So with Silicon Valley awash with ideas and scenarios - especially how to integrate nanotechnology into the human body, you can see the artificial excitement of Transhumanism as tantalising for those who either don't believe in soul, or those that just want to tinker and make fast, big money.

The philosophical ramifications are huge with this current momentum of the fusion of science, technology with biological processes. However, will it be one we sincerely trust that will address societal inequities, the retention of the richness and diversity of our natural systems and indigenous cultures, rather than the somewhat simple and sterile dysfunctional futures depicted by many science fiction writers and futurists. We have to recognise that our navel, our belly button connects us to the magic of the past of spiralling DNA, the family tree and the lineage of species and not only celebrate our diversity within nature - but to honour it and reconnect with the sacred in all of this. All the way back to the accreting gases and cosmic dust to the molten metals of an early forming Mother earth and before that - to stardust and the big bang, the so called 'source of it all.'

5 G the Fifth Generational Wireless and Computer Network Technologies

5 G Wifi comes up again as a major component and enabler to AI and robots by numbers - allied to the internet of all things - working on wavelengths in millimetres - needing antenna and relay stations every 50 metres or so - outside everyone's house - connecting everything to everything - driverless cars totally under control - all ambulances given right of way and it is all under control. But, if you are a suspect - the driverless car could, upon a command, lock all the doors and windows and drive you to the local police station.

However with 5 G as most people have smartphones, we are all tracked and could be 'corrected' remotely - and sadly even our brain waves monitored. Yet, a spin will be put on all this to tell us how very helpful this technology is going to be. First the hand hold phone, then the glasses and the watch - then the body suit and finally the tiny implant under our skin. The ubiquitous use and interface with these technologies is going to be everywhere.

Meanwhile quantum theory entanglement - that every thing in theory is connected within the universal - or background field, is omnipresent yet little understood, is also present.

Back to 5 G - we will have faster download speeds - so that information is streaming in at us from all directions so that we find we are more than triangulated into a frequency storm of microwave data and information. So the health question is what effect is it having on our bodies?

But let's have the discussion - let's open this whole story of trans humanism and 5 G as they are essentially all connected - and bring all the information to the world public.

Transhumanists, virtually all being atheistic - see the total zenith - the hopeful evolutionary capacity - as being held in our heads and our brains. (note that the heart brain and the gut brain are definitely not included in this equation.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdneZ4fIIHE

The Heart's Intuitive Intelligence: A path to personal, social and global coherence

Eastern Philosophies and Acupuncture

Robin talks about the process of emotions etc plus the Eastern philosophies and understanding of the human body - being energetic first and material second - like in acupuncture, that is connected by hidden meridians that Western Science still has huge difficulties with. That through meditation - and getting our brain out of the way - allows our creativity to come through.

That we need to be in a state of peace and compassion

Whereas transhumanists who do not appear to enter deep states of meditation and enter other deeper realms of consciousness - instead think that by marrying up to computer chips etc that by this technology - they will instead not miss out in other 'aspects' of life. There is a wanting of more - before it is too late and they die - to then basically wipe their hard drive and end the program.

Another aspect is that in wanting to get people interested in this tech program is to have people dissatisfied with their life - to want more by way of a computer chip upgrade. And that sets the scene for addictive activities. See last weeks interview with Roy Harlow.

Hence the global encouragement for hand held machines and smart phones so that the youth become wedded to these technologies - so that they will not put them down - that they may pick them up hundreds of times a day - pearing in for a magic formula so as to find happiness and fulfilment.

Then you are convinced that you don't need to hold it in your hand -and have it as glasses - i.e google glass, to Apple Watch on your skin and finally what about a little tiny implant - the size of a rice grain - that can hold huge amounts of information with heaps of up-loadable space - and if you do - you can receive benefits from certain other hi tech corporations - with big discounts to nightclubs and drinks or be able to jump the queue and get into a rock concert before most others. That may morph very quickly to rebates on home rates, no or lower charges for credit cards - all sort of methods to lure the unsuspecting into being chipped and unknowingly becoming like Manchurian candidates for the future.

Addictions

Robin mentions that addictions are born daily out of loneliness and emptiness - we are never satisfied. And it is the younger folk - who have missed out on any understanding of the great religions and spiritual teachings that will be targeted by AI and any compelling story about Transhumanism - the selling point - 'get it while it's hot."

All these scenarios.

The interview also covers Rupert Sheldrake and 'phantom limbs' and 'feelings of being stared at from behind.'

5 G comes up again - many doctors are not satisfied that it is safe - whilst many professionals are relegating it to the field of not being important.

We are not taking a precautionary - 'first do no harm" - stand - primum non nocere

Is the Latin word that Doctors use.

It is the babies that will be the easily affected by 5 G plus Cats and dogs and bees to the bacteria on our skin.

5th Generation networks are a world wide deployment - being done nearly all at once

Cognitive dissidence on a massive scale is happening and an almost cult like behaviour 'en masse' is upon us. That we can impose this technology on our body and TOTALLY improve our lives as a result, is what we are being programmed with.

Robots are now in health systems in the UK talking to patients - devaluing the face to face communications between carer and patient.

Robin talks about 'human inter-relations - as a doctor to a patient - and sharing a commitment to care - empathy. However 5 G does penetrate the skin.

The proponents of 5 G say that it does not penetrate the skin very far - however they have a very poor understanding of the ecosystem off the human body - That our skin with billions of invisible bacteria covering us - and we are being irradiated from telephone towers 24/7 plus it is affecting our fertility.

Mothers Love comes up as well.

1984 and Brave New world - a fusion of these two stories is now taking place.

Have a listen.

This article is not anti atheist per se - My parents were a cross between agnostics and atheists and they were very good, honest, warm, caring people. I have numerous atheistic associates and we by and large see eye to eye on many political, environmental and cultural issues. I interviewed James Lovelock of bringing to us the Gaia Hypothesis many years ago and he said that he was quite happy for his body to return to Mother Earth at the end of his life time, with no expectations of anything else. Tim

Whilst we, somewhat complacent, especially in the so called developed Western world, indulge ourselves in multiple distractions, Roy lays it out. That AI is virtually ubiquitous and is silently in the background data mining and collating our every move.

The concerning thing is that above the seemingly isolated corporations, charging you for your power, telephone and internet, your downloads, mortgage, rent and rates, plus groceries, and the credit card & EFTpos, banking chatter - of travel, hotels, bottle store, petrol and 'incidentals' - what is the 'super computer' above all this, beyond Google and the NSA - that's tapping into it all - into a vast planetary omnipresent - database?

Roy nails it - as we have not been in the loop as to what the corporations have been doing with their technology - especially the Alphabets, plus the British, Chinese, Indians and the Russians.

Computers working in networks for the benefit of the business's has been doing us well - however, when we give computers autonomy and they are programmed to take care of their own agenda - where will this lead to?

With the advent of algorithms and high speed super computing, the Americans have now jumped back into the lead over the Chinese - with computations of 'mega billions' a second - when independent machines can learn to self repair and more.

Registering global volume of calls, clicks and connections - networking on a global scale of all applications linking to a supergrid - the over intelligence - over the top of human knowing - is on its way.

We here at GreenplanetFM.com have made a huge effort to get you this information, however we do not have the manpower or the finance to transcribe this all for you. We urge you to just listen for 10 minutes - after that you will realise that you need to listen to it all and catch up on what you are missing.

Do the goals of the computers have the same goals as humans? This is where the challenge appears.

Note, that we do not know who to trust anymore because the economic machine is now too big to stop.

Look at where they are at in America.

Has the nation become stronger as a result of handing over individual power to an 'outside authority?'

We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy. ~

There is documented evidence into the unpredictability of genetic engineering. Yet there is mounting pressure for new gene technologies to be used with no regulatory supervision.

Gene editing is the genetic alteration of the natural world.

They are a stage after genetic engineering.

Whatever the size of a change made inside a cell, and some scientists like to say they are very small changes, how can messing with DNA be a safe thing to do, when we increasingly realise the connection between living things.

Organisms are self organising complex systems and so how can it be possibly safe to manipulate and mess with our food and animals?

Prominent International AdvocateDr Jonathan Latham is a prominent international advocate for public interest science. He is co-founder and Executive Director of the Bioscience Resource Project and the Editor of Independent Science News and Director of the Poison Papers. He is recently been in New Zealand on a speaking tour.

Dr Latham holds a Masters degree in Crop Genetics and a PhD in Plant Virology. He worked at the Department of Genetics in the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA. He has published scientific papers in disciplines as diverse as plant ecology, plant virology, toxicology, genetics, and genetic engineering.

In this interview find out the difference between Genetic engineering and gene editing. What is CRISPR – (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) – and are there other types of gene editing?

What is the politics of food? How likely are the large corporations to say that gene editing doesn't need to be included in food labelling?

Scientists can now harness gene drive mechanisms to control or alter natural populations. Is this safe?

The US's secretive Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) has become the world's largest funder of "gene drive" research. Why?

Modified mosquitoes with gene drives on board are already being bred and tested in labs and some may have been released.

The Impact of Gene DrivesGiven the profound impact that gene drives could have on species and ecosystems, their use is a highly contentious issue. There are concerns about the ecological safety of the eradication, replacement or enhancement of particular species of animals by means of genetic engineering. Communities and groups have differing beliefs about nature and its conservation or preservation. For those reasons, the rigorous testing and regulation of insects and other animals with gene drive systems is crucial.

With fluoride being a neurotoxin, there is now, in total, around 377,655,000 million people worldwide drinking artificially fluoridated water. This represents 5% of the world's population. Yet, there are more people drinking fluoridated water in the United States than the rest of the world combined, with about one third to three quarters of the population now drinking it daily. Trump that NZ!

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/science/news/article.cfm?c_id=82&objectid=12000030

Today 50% of NZ tap water is fluoridated, a whopping 73% of Ireland and 10% of England and Spain as well.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/magazine/magazine_article/fluoridated-drinking-water/

Science has known for a hundred years that fluoride suppresses thyroid function. Fetuses can be born without a thyroid gland at all but the mother will provide the hormone. The importance of the mother and what she takes into her body is very relevant. Professor PJ Pop in the Netherlands - has a number of papers - and what is noticed is that there is reduced intelligence once the fetus is born.

https://www.nature.com/articles/nrendo.2017.106

Pregnancy, postpartum and the thyroid: isn't it time to offer women optimal care?

Please listen to understand this crucial information.

Note that students studying water management or to become doctors were never told anything about fluoridation in University. So they pass through University, in a state of unknowingness about what is added to the water.

There is very little fluoride research on the human body

Declan - says he first came into the knowingness that something was awry with fluoride in 2006 - when he found that no studies or research had been completed on the human body, other than the effect on teeth and bones. No other organs, or brain tissue or - anything.

Then in the US the National Academies 2006 report on fluoride and drinking water impelled the top committee who were responsible for this report, to bring together their top academics across the USA, from neurology, toxicology and dentistry to assess this data. They then put together a list of close to 70 different areas that they needed studies to be taken, to fill the gaps of lack of knowledge for the effects of fluoride on people's health.

Could Downs Syndrome be a result of exposure to drinking Fluoride in tap water?

Declan goes on to say that Ireland has the highest ratio of Downs Syndrome on earth and these academics also posited the question of the possibility that it was 'biologically plausible that fluoride exposure could result in Downs Syndrome.' This was a shock to Declan.

https://fluoridefree.org.nz/2006-us-national-research-councils-review-fluoride-drinking-water/

Paul Connett talks about 52 IQ studies - the Bashash study funded by the US government - The National Institute of Health - as well as the EPA the Environmental Protection Agency is a watershed moment because all the other studies have come from India Mexico China and Iran - however our arrogant Western scientists just ignore these finding because… you know - they don't make the grade …

http://fluoridealert.org/content/content-bulletin_3-9-18/

And in this major study - all the criticisms of the other 52 studies that have been done over the years were essentially addressed.

Listen: McGill, Harvard, Montreal Universities were all these top universities were involved. Etc etc

Now 50 papers have been produced on other aspects of neurotoxicity on elements like lead, mercury and so on.

A 12 year study by high quality scientists - they covered every single angle and every nook and cranny to prove that fluoride is toxic and has the potential to lower the IQ in children.

So the only thing left is for the politicians, the media etc to work out - what is more important for your Child?!

Healthy Teeth or a Healthy Brain?

Paul Connett, says brush fluoride on your teeth and spit it out - he says he is not anti fluoride just keep it out of your body interior.

Media Blackout?

Declan Waugh when learning of this study, followed it up and wrote to every newspaper in Ireland and radio station too - and did not receive one reply whatsoever - Even though it was a huge study!

There is basically a media blackout, even here in NZ - (we know that) hence GreenplanetFM.com - a.very small voluntary radio program - is filling the gap, essentially by default.

NZ's one media response was that 'Mexico's fluoride levels are not relevant' - (what does that tell you about the communicator of that statement?) That Mexico does not rate as a country?

There was zero response to the rest of the science. Yet, the Canadians in fluoridated areas - just last week made a statement that their levels are exactly the same as Mexico cities.

Listen to the tea drinking of NZ (Dr Mike Godfrey) - And that in Ireland one of the leading tea drinking nations per capita and that tea leaves are loaded with fluoride. That the leaves take up fluoride from the earth.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11885876

Paul Connett talks about how the percentage of people drinking fluoridated water iis affecting babies - listen especially of you are a mother with a loved one.

Drop in IQ in now a certainty.

Note that a drop of 5 IQ points would halve the number of very bright genius's in our society and increase dramatically the mentally impaired.

What came across in this interview is that the NZ Authorities when aware of the dangers took lead out of paint - and discontinued adding lead to petrol - so why do they put fluoride in 50% of NZ's drinking water?

Other information that comes from this interview.

Fluoride in beer - listens to these results !!!

Fluoride tap water to make up baby formula is - a no no.

Green Party of Ireland was anti fluoride.

Over the last 5 or 6 years throughout the length and breadth of Ireland the City Councils - County Councils and Local Authorities - plus their political representatives have voted to stop water fluoridation - from Dublin City to Cork City, to Galway and the Government - still refuses to act.

Yet the first act in Germany's reunification was to stop water fluoridation in East Germany

Informed consent - The need to know.

Informed consent is an imperative - especially in medicine - but NZers are not receiving the latest data - we are being denied the information by our elected representatives.

In medical school the amount of training in toxicology is known to be minimal.

NOTES:

GreenplanetFM.com has two superb previous interviews by Lisa Er - one of Paul Connett & Dr Bill Hirzy on the Danger of Fluoride and another of Paul Connett that give a broad understanding of the issues.

The day I was contacted to do this radio interview - I was in Munich in Germany. Coincidentally I then found out - with a lecturer in water infrastructure in Bavaria. He is interested in our country and was talking up NZ's clean green image to me - when I told him that we chlorinate our metropolitan water as well as actively push fluoridation of our water too - he was shocked! The city of Munich has neither.

Question: Is there fluoride in NZ soda and soft drinks?

There are many myths about solo parents on the 'benefit'. These myths are perceptions that arise from stereotypes generated in public and private conversations.

"Myths often appear highly plausible, and they may even hold a grain of truth. But they far from represent reality and can cause lasting harm.

They allow the government and its welfare policies to be shielded from proper scrutiny and help explain why there is little public outcry as the safety net supporting many families and their children is progressively eroded."

Child Poverty Action Group 2013 https://www.cpag.org.nz/assets/Backgrounders/130402%20CPAG%20Myths%20and%20Facts.pdf

Myths such as 'the benefit' is a lifestyle choice, or sole parents are teenagers who can't be bothered working, are very damaging.In fact the majority of sole parents are between the ages of 25 and 64, and have had jobs, but need to be at home with their children for varying reasons. Just over 12% of sole parents are men.

In 2013 there were 234,000 children growing up in families on benefits and it is estimated that in New Zealand that one in two mothers will have spent some time on the 'benefit' by the time they are 50.

Read more myths and facts at the link above.In 2017 the Labour Government announced a Families Package which has helped beneficiaries a great deal but unless we change the attitude of people generally, there will always be resistance against an empathetic government.Housing is a huge issue for solo parents as Chantelle describes in the interview. Constantly having to move house puts families under stress and if children are constantly having to move schools, it disadvantages their education.Chantelle Campbell grew up in West Auckland, where she still resides with her two sons. Chantelle has been raising her sons as a sole parent and has gained a Bachelor of Social Practice while her boys were younger, and now practices in the community as a social worker and community developer.

Chantelle is passionate about human rights, social justice and easing the challenges that sole parent families face. This has led Chantelle to founding, "Inspire Up Trust", a charitable trust to support sole parents families to reach their full potential.

The e-mail for the trust is [email protected]

Financial support is required to get a web site up and running for the trust. Please e-mail if you can contribute.

The two Facebook pages mentioned in the interview are "NZ Single Parents" and "Separation and Sole Parent Support".

Whereas prior to the year 2000 we did not see such things however, especially since 2009, these trails are becoming far more obvious and this interview attempts to explain - why?

Why here in NZ and who would be involved? We see photographs of these in America, and they have billboards alongside freeways shouting out, "look up, they are chemtrails!" "What are they spraying?" - Yet why here in sleepy little NZ, what is it - that's really going on above our heads?

Malcolm Scott is an experienced and qualified researcher recognised by the NZ Tertiary Education Commission. He has authored several research reports for various organisations and is currently working on a thesis about people's perceptions and experiences of climate change and chemtrails.

In 2015 Malcolm began investigating correspondence with various New Zealand government agencies especially the Ministry for the Environment about the public reporting of alleged high altitude chemical aerosol spraying operations from aircraft in New Zealand. These are commonly referred to by the public as 'chemtrails' and since the late 1990's - chemtrails have become a global phenomenon …

A great many middle aged NZers have been looking up into the usual clear blue NZ skies since they were born and have never seen - what they have been seeing since the early 2000's and especially from 2009 onwards. These 'long white cloud' like extended trails can even go from near on horizon to horizon. They can stay there for a prolonged time before after some while, slowly spread outward to eventually become a cloudy haze.

NZ Authorities Deny All Knowledge

Listen to how Malcolm has since 2015 been corresponding with the Ministry for the Environment, NIWA - the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research, the EPA the Environmental Protection Authority, the CAA, the Civil Aviation Authority and also the New Zealand Defence Force - And in Malcolms words, all of these organisations - one way or another - deny any knowledge or involvement with Geo Engineering - whatsoever in NZ.

Aluminium, Barium and Strontium

Yet all of these organisations have received correspondence from the NZ public - and some of them have received quite detailed evidence - photographic and video evidence. Some have even received analysis of rain water concentrations specifically demonstrating aluminium, barium and strontium and even lithium.

That there is some very good research out of the USA by J Marvin Herndon http://nuclearplanet.com/ published in 2015 - about military craft flying in a grid pattern in California. That these aircraft are specifically modified and designed for aerosol spraying operations - so they fly a grid pattern backward and forward with aerosols that over the course of the day spreads out to in effect, cause a dirty grey sky haze. If you go on line there is a lot of material posted by US residents on what they are seeing in their particular region. Search Geoengineering.

NZ residents are posting to social media

In NZ it is nowhere on the scale that it is in the US, however NZ residents are still posting to social media almost on a daily basis. Also, they are sharing among each other and correlating what they see from different parts of the country and where certain airports are, including departures and arrivals.

Malcolm says that his correspondence with the NZ authorities is to establish what they know - and he said - "they know a lot."

It's about long trails from nearly horizon to horizon that hang there even up to a number of hours and gradually disperse, into a haze what is commonly called chem clouds - these are not simply emissions from jet fuel - there is obviously other chemical components and factors involved in this, where they remain and persist in the atmosphere - that connect directly to the science of 'geo engineering.'

Solar Radiation Management

Note that over the last 3 decades that there has been a massive increase into the research of Geo engineering particularly the notion of 'solar radiation management' - which is the idea of spraying chemicals into the atmosphere to increase atmospheric albedo that reflects solar radiation back into space.

This is to supposedly reflect sunlight back into space so as to alleviate 'global warming.'

This is a huge technology that has been growing out of the USA for the last 2 to 3 decades and apparently is being applied to many other countries around the world.

Malcolm mentions Geoengineeringwatch.org and also writer Elana Freeland and her many books. see https://www.aircrap.org/ - or https://byebyebluesky.com/elana-freeland/

Elana traces back to the early 1990's to a CIA operation called Project Cloverleaf - do an online search. That it was a coordinated military operation since the late 1990's (and in NZ the 2000's) it has appeared to have escalated into a global operation that Malcolm says it has now morphed into complicity with 'civil aviation operators.'

In NZ many ordinary citizens are out and about and are taking photos because they are interested in strange cloud formations etc and are posting them online. It has been noticed that many of the aerosol trails photographed are from commercial aircraft - because people are able to use aircraft tracking platforms to identify aircraft.

Military Involvement

Military Aircraft turning their transponders off. (leaving no signature)

Malcolm has also found that there are some aircraft that are not visible on the - 'on line tracking services' - that identify aircraft. These are presumed to be military aircraft that are operating with their transponders turned off. Therefore they are not identifiable. As the military have their own rules they do not necessarily have to comply with the same regulations and that of certain civil operations.

So military operators use unmarked aircraft - i.e converted aircraft with no military insignia and they are therefore hard to identify, however reports on social media say they have been seen in parts of NZ.

Overseas involvement

In Malcolms video presentation he mentions the US has taken 100 Boeing 757s and converted them for aerosol operations and according to William Thomas in his 2004 book Chemtrails confirmed - he confirms that the military have done this. https://www.willthomasonline.net/chemtrails---confirmed--.pdf

They have bought up old Boeings and refurbished them for aerosol spraying. For possibly a global fleet that is leased out to certain overseas military organisations. However the military in NZ have declined any knowledge of such operations. Even though an Omega AC10 aircraft Ex Dc10 - (with ties to Evergreen International) which is said to be a US military operation, was seen and photographed on the tarmac at Ohakea air force base in Palmerston North many years ago. Payload is 145 tonnes of liquid. What sort of liquid would this aircraft be carrying as jet fuel comes to NZ by ship? https://chemtrailsnorthnz.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/omega-air-aircraft-seen-in-auckland-at-ohakea-air-force-base/

Malcolm approached the NZ Defence Operations and said that as he was an Academic researcher was he able to take time looking at the aircraft that the NZ military have, like checking their log book and routes taken? This way he could confirm that they have nothing to do with aerosol operations and they flatly said No! This was from Gerry Brownlee who was the Minister of Defence for the National government and he in this letter denied any involvement by the NZDF in military aerosol operations in NZ.

The interview covers:

David Parker the present Attorney-General of New Zealand who gave a categorical denial that there was no geo-engineering happening in NZ. He signed a letter stating as such.

We are in a global experiment that is been conducted at altitude and also at 'night time' - to hide the activity of aircraft.

Is it going to produce more global heating or decrease global warming - professor Tim Lenton of Exeter University called this "an uncontrolled experiment."

https://www.globalresearch.ca/top-british-climate-scientist-acknowledges.../5485739

It is being done without 'our' informed consent - and is being executed by unknown faces further up the military industrial system.

It is weaponising the atmosphere - Elana Freeland - writes of weaponising space. https://www.elanafreeland.com/geoengineering-transhumanism

There is no public consultation in NZ

Watch US scientist David Keith - a head tripping geo engineer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxDAa4jaafY - and his infamous 'free-riding on our Grandkids' quote.

Massey University testing to gauge NZers awareness about Geo Engineering.

That though there has been an increase in water/moisture in the atmosphere due to global warming - it cannot be used as an excuse that these 'trails' are a result of far more condensation etc. Because all these aircraft are flying in all climatic zones, seasons, times of day, pressures, altitudes and latitudes.

NOTE: In this interview we did not discuss as to how these spraying operations spray from the aircraft or how the liquids or whatever it is that is emitted from the aircraft - are stored on board. As photoshopping pictures can be too easily perfected. This dispensing subject will be left for a later interview.

Things to do:

Write to the NZ authorities - every email or letter becomes part of the public record - this can be then connected to either a Parliamentary process or a court process - this procedure will be a public record that will substantiate what is taking place in NZ.

This is 'people power' the same kind of people power that enabled NZ to become Nuclear Free.

Geoengineering: An Interview with a US Air Force General ( Richard H. Roellig / interviewed by Dane Wigington ) where US General Charles Jones is also mentioned as being very concerned with what is going on. It is important to note that the US military and all Western military are "compartmentalised" - that they are only given certain information that is directly involved with their present station. They are kept out of the loop with all other operations - hence 'they know nothing' of other (secret) operations. This is standard practice, in all their operations and for that matter in banking too.

This below is Malcolm's excellent slideshow video presentation of 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fJFnl1zTuQ

Yet he humbly focus's his life on a message of care and due diligence and then broadcasts it across the silent airwaves to anyone who wishes to 'tune in.'

The radio wave ecological footprint is zero, but the message is huge - global in fact and Roy has no limits.

Mixing music, facts, anecdotes, humour and irony - RushFM finds a way to infiltrate your focus and enable you, if you want to take an in-breath, to recognise truth from fiction, fact from fake the whys and whats - of … how does a human being live on a planet and in harmony with all life?

Roy has clearly set out goals:

• What is factual, what is encouraging and uplifting
• We need solutions and we need to laugh at ourselves and that differences are OK – it's good to have differences
• Concerns about sameness – the "same swamp of sameness" as if we are all being homogenised – and been put through a blender until all things are the same – with the resulting - "group think!"

Yet RushFM does not focus on politics as such because politics is so fraught with deception and Roy does not want to present anything that is untrue.

As politicians change their mind. Like before elections they say this is there goal - then afterwards they change the goal posts under the pretext that 'we have had to reassess the situation' we have new information … stances are at first Yes – then 6 months later it is NO! Roy wants continuity of stated purpose.

Station Axioms

Truthfulness – fairness – compassion – a positive contribution – these a writ components to life – politics is not.

What do you stand for? – Roy wants thinking individuals – he wants to stimulate the natural inclination with the people.

Roy's observation of people today on 2018 is that there is an underlying level of anxiety that is more predominant now than ever before … listen

He says RushFM says things that catch people 'on the edge' … He wants people to express their feelings – yet as peacefully as they can - he says it takes endeavour to express oneself

Saying - "it's easy to be hard but it is hard to be gentle."

Also - that we have been programmed with being PC. 'Politically Correct' so as to muffle our society. Not to question, be inquisitive and to wonder?

Then he talks Radio and Programs that he broadcasts.

Good high quality food, organic, non GE or GMO's

Covering some of the major challenges of the 5 G Telephone Networks – Fluoride and the mass medication of the community1080 Poison – and the discussion comes around to poisoning of your adversaries – That's what we are doing to the human race.

This ever so subtle poisoning is all being done by minute parts per million – but we are still being poisoned – by poisoning rodents especially possums – but the resulting leachate is ending up in our waterways. Listen

Vaccines that contain mercury and other substances like human cells. He mentions laconically - its cannibalism and has been introduced for years

Roundup and glyphosate sprayed on grass that is turned into silage and the cows are fed it – and then cows are milked that then goes to the factory … for mass consumption at supermarkets - and we ask why more people especially children are unhealthy? Go organic immediately is the only current thing we can do.

Any person from another world looking in at our farmers – would have to find them guilty of poisoning people through the produce that they grow.

Roy's question – How can you be your best as a human? – Especially if you ingest something (food or drink) that reduces your capacity as a human.Even though we know what we are doing is basically insane – how can we just brush it off and pretend that is is not happening?

But. he says - "if these subtle poisons do not kill you - they definitely dumb you down."

Professor Emeritus Paul Connett's name comes up.Who says in an ordinary society there are 5% genius and 5% idiots and the rest of society are in the middle but when we add fluoride to the water – it shifts the spectrum by 5% - which means instead of their being 5% genius's there aren't any - and there are now 10% idiots in our society.

Polluted Water SystemsDOC - the Department of Conservation are dropping 1080 poison into the forests around Lake Taupo and the residue is finding its way via the catchment area into the lake and river system - the Waikato – that flows in the direction of Auckland to then be pumped into the Auckland drinking water supply – and the water is not been tested for any particulates or residue – and we wonder why at another level so many children have allergies? Roy mentions that this 1080 has been filmed entering Lake Taupo. That some 14 communities source their drinking water downstream from its source – being Taupo, the largest city being Hamilton.

Now these 14 communities along this river dispose of their "treated effluent" back into the Waikato River as well!!

Fourteen river bank communities are involved.

Not only this – but antidepressants plus birth control, heart medicine and a whole plethora of different medications are in this waterway – and just before the Waikato flows out to the sea – Auckland Council's Water Care – pumps and pipes water up to Auckland dams to then pipes it to householders in the suburbs. That there are no steps taken to purify (filter) most of these medicinal residues out!

There is also a marked increase of estrogen in the water and Roy gives a tip for men – to take some fresh lemon drops in a glass of water every day – so that it removes the estrogen and makes a man - a man again. Because the men are slowly feminising …

This interview goes on to coverCell phones … hullo? Hypnosis? What's really going on.People farmingCompartmentalism Depopulation

Scalar waves EMF frequency influences on animal brain wave patterns

Telephone towers have 300,000 watts Our mobile phone only uses only 3 or 4 watts

This interview then goes right off the charts …

Listen it is well worth your while ...

Note that Doctors will never speak out against the profligate use of drugs, because the Pharmaceutical Corporations who control the whole industry - will have you struck off!

Dentists will not speak out against fluoride, because the corporate Industry is lock stepped with big Pharma - so Dentist remain silent.

Water Scientists also remain speechless in relationship to 1080 poison - for fear of losing their job, due to pressure from higher up the system.

There is a lockdown on free speech in NZ – the word 'gag' is commonly used to close down free speech and this is becoming predominant.

This interview is of an honest man doing his best to relay the truth

RushFM.co.nz

I have known Gary near on 20 years and he has shared startling information that unveils to us a secret land that stretches back many thousands of years to when other peoples roamed the seas and visited early New Zealand.

The Vegetable Kingdom is Actually Conscious

Recently I was at Gary's home in Katikati where he played live music directly from trees, where he was able to connect up to the leaves and the roots, technology - for these trees to 'sing' various 'songs' that were quite melodic and beautiful. That this new knowingness portends is that trees have a consciousness and that they can feel, see and even share beneath the ground with other trees including in various situations other species of tree.

Tree Blindness

Gary goes on to talk about 'tree blindness' and that it signifies a massive disconnect of the human species from nature and Papatuanuku - Gaia, the earth mother. To the degree that trees are just seen as a backdrop to society - just a background setting - that on a good day, may offer shade from a bright sun and on a bad day gets in the way of your enjoyment or view. Trees are not really seen as living entities in their own right, and to many are just a commodity to grow, as a mono culture and harvest for money and material reward.

However more of humanity are awakening to this lost connection

However the mighty kauri that have stood for 2000 years and are venerated as forest giants like the towering Sequoia Redwoods of America do - when we take the time to sit or lie down on the ground beneath to look up - inspire us of the greatness of these silent beings who have witnessed countless generations of humanity that have come and gone.

The music device that Gary has is put out by the Damanhur Community in Northern Italy - www.damanhur.org however this work goes back 50 odd years to Cleve Backster and using bio feedback - etc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleve_Backster

So the sound of music in plants has evolved over recent years.

Place a contact on the leaf and another contact on the roots - that perfects a circuit and that is then run through a middi system - a computerised midi system and this converts what the tree 'gives us' which is static electricity - or something similar to static electricity. This is then converted into musical note, not raw static and it becomes something that we humans can listen to and that is melodic and enjoyable - there is a flow - the music changes from morning to night on the same plant - and will change its song at different times of the year as well. - Listen

Gary states that there are continuous little bursts of electricity going on inside all living things - from a blade of grass to an animal. That now there are many solo musicians, singers, jazz groups, and even small orchestras around our planet taking up this technology and integrating the sounds into their creative pieces.

Gary sees these collaborations with musicians and trees as a very enlightening way of opening up humanity to our connection to both the plant kingdom but to the natural world as a whole.

Gary then talks about plant consciousness and plant awareness and he uses the term 'Tree Blindness' in that modern society has in many ways forgotten that trees are living beings - sentient beings - and latter day humanity now only see trees as a back drop or part of the background - James Wanders and Elisabeth Schussler 1998 American biologists were the people who coined this unfortunate term. https://commonground.ca/cure-plant-blindness/

What is plant consciousness?

Gary talks to this and mentions:

NZ law protecting mammals as sentient beings - was a world first … https://www.stuff.co.nz/nelson.../new-zealand-legally-recognises-animals-as-sentient-bei...

Back in the 1980's the Japanese government passed law called Shinrin Yoku or Forest Bathing or Forest Therapy - so that people can feel rested and at ease among trees and the local vegetation - and has become a cornerstone in 'preventive medicine' in Japan - they find that it improves ones immune system.

That the Japanese Government really wanted its citizens to make use of its generous wooded areas for healing is a milestone in itself.

The translations is that just by walking through among the trees - you are bathing your whole body and being and also it is said - wiping your aura or energy field clean - as the greenery soaks up any energy that is holding you back and holding you down.

This is now been taken up in other countries as well …

Gary then talks about walking into the 'bush' - the forest - for a total immersion and the quietening of our mind and letting go of our thoughts - and then notice - what we hear, and see and observe what we feel and if possible stay for a good 2 hours and yet you will feel the effects even after a short 20 minutes - so forest bathing is in many ways available to everyone.

That music of the plants is a renewed doorway to the nature kingdom …

The interview then goes on to tell about trees talking and even seeing and recognising their offspring. Listen

This then follows on with the soil connection - the mycelium - a fungus a fine network of fibres finer than the hair on our head - and they can connect tree to tree and or plant to plant - which is a symbiotic relationship

Then we hear about how this all works … plant sugars and sharing between plant root hairs etc

Then introduces the term the 'wood wide web' see Avatar the movie and his Pandora is all interconnected.

Trees are a community - and we humans have lost our connection to this oxygen and life giving community.

Plant & Tree Blindness - is again seen with human housing developments - scraping the earth of its topsoil and cutting down local trees so as to make the subdivision more in keeping with so called 21st century progress.

Trees are seen as a cash crop in forestry to be logged or to be used for building etc etc

Yet trees are the bearers of fruit and nuts as well, but more so, are homes to multitudes of insects, birds etc.

Maori and their Reverence for Nature and the Forest.

Maori - had/have a sacred connection - Karakia or prayer - if wanting a tree. A sacred tree selection for carving or to build a waka - canoe this officiated by a Tohunga - (medicine man) to do the selecting for the tree to be felled.

Papatuanuku Mother Earth - Maori are intuitively plugged in - they know of their connection … whakapapa - their lineage used to be sung to all babies whilst in the arms of their whanau and hapu (family and tribe) - they know about connection.

In The Garden In Nature.

We learn that happiness induced inner chemicals in the human experience especially gardeners, uplift ones being. One doesn't suffer from serious depression - because they are anchoring themselves in the soils and the richness of the earth with all its micro-organisms - the bacteria and fungi. Being barefooted is really good for you.

Getting our hands dirty and soil underneath our fingernails, plus fresh air and sunshine - increases out serotonin levels and joyfulness.

A soil bacteria - mycobaterium vaccae - triggers release of serotonin - and gardening becomes a natural antidepressant.

And Mike O'Donnell has always said - "we are not only gardeners of the soil - but we are gardeners of the soul as well"

https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/mike-odonnell-the-water-man-from-paeroa

Trees have a heart beat - as they pump water up the trunk and that trees can see and make out shape and colour that there are millions of cells on the external surfaces of that tree, leave, branches and trunks that - these cells are exactly the same as the human retina but smaller published in the Nature Journal — listen

Trees go to sleep at night …they have experiments with infrared time lapse cameras and it is noticeable. Shhhhh tip toe on your bush walks eh?
