As far as the eye can see, the entire field of sage works together as a single plant. Each plant is joined through an interwoven root system beyond our view. The entire field is one family of sage. As with any family, the experience of one member is linked, to some degree, to all others.
Not only are the sage plants along the Rio Grande Gorge connected, but they possess a power together, far greater than a single plant could. A single shrub along the gorge influences only the small area that surrounds it. However, put thousands together, and they change the pH of the soil in a way that assures their survival.
The human species believes that it is separate from one another; that it is separate from nature. The antithesis of the sage plant, of the snow geese (who migrate 5 million strong), and all other species that work together for their common good; the actions of the human species is ensuring it's demise. In other words, we're laying the groundwork to our own extinction.
In the last century, we've attained power via technology that is unprecedented in human history.
The late astrophysicist Carl Sagan observed the uniqueness of our time by coining the phrase, "technological adolescence."
What he meant by that was, on the one hand we have gained access to the fundamental forces of creation but are still grappling with the necessary maturity to know how to use technology wisely.
Sagan also stated (and it's applicable here), "The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five."
We are dreadfully close to WWIII - and if we get another Bush in the White House (Jeb Bush), or heaven-forbid, Donald Trump, we may very well see the third world war.
A war of such magnitude would end the lives of millions of ordinary citizens like you and me and our offspring. And it won't have anything to do with terrorist, or Al-Qaeda, or ISIS (the new imaginary enemy created by the U.S.) but will have everything to do with the greed of a few families that control sitting presidents and standing armies - The Rockefeller's, Rothchild's, Morgan's, the Bush family and a few other insidious human beings.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild, German banker and founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty (believed to be the wealthiest family in human history), stated in the early 1700's, "Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws."
This is why the U.S. Federal Reserve (privately owned by the way) meets furtively, even the President of the U.S. can't sit in on a meeting. President John F. Kennedy tried to usurp the power of the Feds by issuing $4,292,893,825 worth of debt and interest-free "Silver Certificates." He was assassinated, the silver certificates were immediately taken out of circulation.
President Abraham Lincoln tried to take the power of the money supply out of the hands of the Central Banks of his time; Lincoln issued $449,338,902 worth of "Greenbacks." He was assassinated, the debt-free currency was promptly eliminated.

"There's a great irony in our time and history. While all this amazing technology exist on the one hand, that gives us direct access to the forces of nature; on the other hand we're still witness to war, famine, and hate on unprecedented levels in our world today. Conditions you would think we could change with our modern technology."
"The last 100 years we have become a species defined by our differences. Differences we've used to separate us, rather than bring us together as a family; differences in religion, skin color, wealth, and beliefs."
"Technology has given new meaning to these differences. Between 1900 and 1999 [20th century] more humans lost their lives at the hands of other humans just because they were different, than at any other time in recorded history."
Historians now refer to the 20th Century as the "most murderous century in recorded human history, bar none."
Over 80 million people lost their lives based on genocidal wars propagated by greed, politics, and religion (the Bible/Christianity and the Qur'an/Islam).
We're now in the 15th year of the 21st century and the same thinking that led to mass genocide is more prevalent today, especially given the aggregate following of televangelist and their 'believers' across the globe.
At the rate we are going, if we do not find a way to come together as one, there won't be a 22nd century. We're all aware of this fact (at least you should be) but because of our inherent narcissistic traits, we really don't care about our grand-children or great-grand-children, we only care about ourselves, and that's a shame!
"There is a field of intelligent energy that carries feelings of unity or separation. It is a tightly woven web that makes up the fabric underlying all of creation. It's an intelligent field that responds to human emotion."
