I could think of countless reasons why it is important that people take good care of their living environment. Much has been said and written about it and I think everyone already knows it. The problem is not knowing with the mind but knowing with the heart. That is a quite different intelligence.
As the most people are not themselves and are living in a survival mode – frightened by mainstream media and reporting – they therefore are unable to touch the higher levels of their development and thus cannot relate to the whole from their hearts. These higher levels of development seem like a luxury to many, but it is a pure necessity. Only when man lives from his heart and feels that he IS part of the whole, it will become self-evident that he takes good care of his living environment.
That's why I don't just focus on raising money (by selling the book The Light in You and my art) but also on helping people to become themselves. Through my daily work I help highly gifted people to find their way back to themselves. Nature, the original living environment of man is very important, only in nature you can feel yourself. Nature is unconditional. And that is beautiful because society is often very conditional.
I have been following the work of dr. Goodall my whole life and she has inspired me many times with her determination, courage and free spirit. The goal of protecting our beautiful planet, because it is our only habitat is extremely important and I would like to contribute to that by donating the proceeds from the sale of the book, writings, photographs and art exhibited to Dutch section of The Jane Goodall Institute.
"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
