Below are links to sites that have relevance to bluecray vision. They include links to psychology, practical lifestyle, advocacy and metaphysical sites that carry some implications for bluecray philosphy.
The author of bluecray is neither a psychologist nor a philosopher, however, the concepts of understanding, wisdom and love are inherent in bluecray vision, and so, the following links have been included under the general heading of Philosophy Links.

- Peter Vintila at Postkyoto Centre : See some of Peter Vintila’s work here:- ABC Unleashed: “Climate War” 6th November 2009; Post Kyoto Journal . His works show the dichotomies of human acquired learning responses and social adaptive tendencies when, the whole of our beautiful blue planet is at risk from our collective social activities. The tendency to “fight, flight and freeze” – the trauma adaptive qualities of centuries of “threat from outside” are now being acted out en masse by society. These learned adaptive processes, whilst possibly serving us collectively in humanity’s “youth”, are now outdated, and a new, brave form of courage is required. That of a VISION encompassing loving, sharing, forgiveness, acceptance – growing and nurturing “the good” in place of fighting and destroying “the bad“.

Motorcycles, Music and Wisdom in the Land
I dreamt of a billabong, still water clear
a tiny brown platypus sitting so near
hidden by reeds and tall growing sedge
I watched him dive freely away from his ledge.
As he entered the waters all bubbles and glee
I became that dear platypus and he became me
Then waking quite quickly, a smile in my mind
I “knew” what it meant to be one of his kind
A blessing a story a picture a song
this vision stays with me
tho’ the dream is long gone.
al @ bluecray
protected by more than money can buy, our hearts, prayers and loving visions for this beautiful blue planet can help change the world
