For the last sixty years, the application of development policies mirrored this colonialism in a direct economic

THICH NHAT HANH’S CODE OF GLOBAL ETHICS Thich Nhat Hanh’s Code of Global Ethics. Editor’s note | At the turning of the Millennium, the United Nations chose Thich Nhat Hanh’s code of global ethics, the Five Mindfulness Trainings, as the foundation for a non-sectarian ethical path for humanity. Along with several Nobel Peace Prize laureates, he helped to create Unesco’s THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples RETURNING TO INDIGENOUS WORLDVIEW The Indigenous perspective understands that fear is the opposite of love, and fearlessness is about trusting the universe.

SEEING WETIKO: ON CAPITALISM, MIND VIRUSES, AND ANTIDOTES Global GDP in 2014 (the last full year of data) was roughly USD $78 trillion.16 We grew that pie by 2.4% in 2015, which resulted in the commodification and subsequent consumption of roughly another $2 trillion in human labor and natural resources.
