<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span>Thanks to all for the continuing series of insights into saying Yes to the crisis we face and communicating it to others. Thanks Milan and Ellie for the references to Michael Dowd, Jem Bendell and Joanna Macy, and Diann for the interview on “Don’t Look Up”. I watched the movie and as its director suggests, it reflects the world’s inability/unwillingness to hear the bad news. I hope movies like this raises self-awareness and makes people more ready to listen.</span><br></div><div><br></div>

Dowd hosted the acclaimed conversation series, “The Advent of Evolutionary Christianity,” and in June 2011 he and Connie launched a 5-week online course with Evolving Wisdom, titled, “Evolutionize Your Life.”.

<div>I majored in philosophy also and especially Studied Kierkegaard with one of the preeminent American teachers of SK, But can’t say I got much beyond the surface until RS-1. I do think there was more depth to Stoicism as a philosophy than hearing the word elicits in our psyche. But as to offering a way into the question Dharma is raising, I would suggest reading Jem Bendell’s Deep Adaptation paper and if interested getting into the conversation on the Deep Adaptation Forum; secondly, Michael Dowd’s “Post Doom” series of 78 fifty minute interviews on You Tube with all sorts of climate scientists and writers, as well as some of his own videos; third, check out Joanna Macy’s “The Work that Reconnects.” These are some resources we have found helpful to avoid getting stuck in one or more of the philosophy rabbit holes,Stoicism being only one of them.

<div>Thanks everyone for your responses. Some of these touched on what is happening to our planet, which is also what triggered my question. </div>
<div>It is clear that we have pushed our biosphere over the tipping point into a trajectory that will bring mass extinctions, perhaps even that of our species, in its wake. Whatever we do cannot change this, at least till after several decades. So whatever good we do, we won’t be around to see its result.</div>
<div>So the question for me is what does it mean to say Yes to life in this situation and to live out of that stance. To use a metaphor, if we are led to the gallows, can we approach it saying Yes to what our life has been and what is going happen? By “can we”, I mean how do we generate the courage and spirit for this. </div>
<div>A related question, how do we tell others what is in store truthfully and yet not leave them without hope or drive? </div>
<div>If we live like this, could it be described (in a positive way) as Stoicism? I remember we seemed to have reservations about this during our RS1 courses. But I’m not sure whether they were about the popular understanding of Stoicism, as Karen illustrates in her email, or something deeper in that philosophy. </div>

<div>I need help with an idea I’m trying to sort out. If you have the time and inclination, I would love to hear from you on the following: <br clear="none">

</div>
<div>Saying Yes to life and Stoicism. Stoicism seems to be understood as a relationship to life where you keep going on despite the odds. There is also an inuendo that this may not be humanly possible and that internal pressures will eventually cause the person to crash. What I want to know is, was that the Stoicism that Zeno founded or merely a degraded understanding? Why did we as an Order cast it in a negative light? What was our beef with it? Was it a reaction to the degraded form or were we looking at it in its original sense?</div>
