The interdependency of humankind, the relevance of relationship, the sacredness
of creation is ancient, ancient wisdom.

The indigenous understanding has its basis of spirituality in a recognition of
the interconnectedness and interdependence of all living things, a holistic and
balanced view of the world. All things are bound together. All things connect.
What happens to the Earth happens to the children of the earth. Humankind has
not woven the web of life; we are but one thread. Whatever we do to the web, we
do to ourselves.

In
a society where all are related, simple decisions require the approval of nearly
everyone in that society. It is society as a whole, not merely a part of it, that
must survive. This is the indigenous understanding. It is the understanding in
a global sense. We are all indigenous people on this planet, and we have to reorganize
to get along. -- Rebecca

“SixDegrees.org is about using the idea that we are all connected to accomplish
something good. It is my hope that Six Degrees will soon be something more than
a game or a gimmick. It will also be a force for good, by bringing a social conscience
to social networking.”

The
life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another,
until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be
felt.
-- Frederick Buechner
The
person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers
if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the
echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration

 | A
diverse ecosystem will also be resilient, because it contains many species with
overlapping ecological functions that can partially replace one another. When
a particular species is destroyed by a severe disturbance so that a link in the
network is broken, a diverse community will be able to survive and reorganize
itself... In other words, the more complex the network is, the more complex its
pattern of interconnections, the more resilient it will be.
-- Fritjof

No
part of the human community can live entirely on its own planet, with its own
laws of motion and cut off from the rest of humanity.
-- Hugo Chavez
