02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMI came up with this idea independently when smoking a doobie a few years back before I’d even heard about Gaia theory. Where’s my Nobel prize

02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMI love the idea that the earth is alive. I like to think of earth like a giant plasma ball, as we step on her a line of plasma connects us to her core which allows data to flow between us, energizing us both. I believe its this separation that's causing so many health problems. The less we connect with earth the more disconnected we feel, which makes us over indulge in the things we enjoy, drinking, smoking, gambling, fucking, gaming, porn, sleeping pills, pain killers. nothing can replace the simple act of connecting with yo Mumma. Do it.
And go vegan, you'll love yourself for it, the animals you don't eat will love you for it, and most of all Gaia will love you for it.

02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMShe, Gaia, is a living, breathing organism! I have no doubt about that. Anyone who has spent time at contemplation in the wilderness can experience that first hand. She is alive and talking to us!🌏💚 I call her "The Mother of mothers"

02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMTruth in plain sight! Revelation 12
🦁If you calculate this year 2022 minus the year the 1st Mona Lisa died 1542=480 years, the same amount of time from Exodus to the rebuild of the new temple in the bible. She has started the rebuild. The 2nd Mona Lisa is the Bride of Christ, the Holy Spirit, the root of David, Queen of Heaven and Earth.
🦁the initials in her eye is her name initials
🦁the V & 5 sceneries are the 5 places the 2nd Lisa has lived in after marriage. 🦁The 12 pins firstly in a shape of a cup represents her surname
🦁secondly around her head in X-ray represents 12 stars just like in Revelation signifying her holiness. She was the 1st human female
🦁Triangle =The true trinity is Mother/Father God, Son Jesus & Daughter Lisa. Lisa meaning is God’s Promise.
🦁The right hand over the left signifies she is the right hand of God.
🦁The number under the bridge 75 is the year son of God was born in human form.
🦁His other paintings link the Mona Lisa to them as well, the crab sketch represents her star sign Cancer.
🦁The ferret and lady represents what the 2nd Mona Lisa was called as a child.
🦁Portrait of a woman represents her eldest daughter. Her youngest daughter is painted as saint Anne
🦁The last supper shows the Mona Lisa incarnation of Mary and the cup as her to be surname.
🦁The twist in her fabric on her shoulder represents Gods humour & twist to the biblical story, savior is female this time. Why? Coz the female was suppressed from day 1.
🔥the bible is corrupted but to salvation is follow in Jesus’s footsteps of goodness and spirituality. He didn’t agree on religion because it causes separation which is of evil. They want unity collectively no matter what race gender sexual orientation or colour❤️🦁

02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMI usually don't leave comments, good or bad, but I have to. The music here is too loud, compared with James' voice. It is really hard to listen to him sometimes. Too bad 🙁
Kensington TV should do better.

@HimanshuSharma-oy9ss
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMOK, so, this is the first time that I have come to know about this particular hypothesis. But I believe most of us have articulated the same idea and have reached the same conclusion with school level knowledge of ecology, the idea just seems too generic and conspicuous to be presented in scientific writing.
And when it comes to the convincebility of the idea. It's sad that there are well educated people that are not supporting the idea. It is certainly not a science fiction.
Earth might be lucky to have just the right mixture of life sustaining conditions, but their regulation is equally important, and it will not be very offensive to think that life does it on its own.

@eileenkeher4923
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMWonderful conception. Sad that the music must be so loud as to detract from the voice sound.
@seanpablocarpintero8572
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMWe need ☀️ sunlight so means Gaia theory applies to our solar system.galaxy and the whole universe
@seanpablocarpintero8572
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMNative Americans from North America knows and knew this but maybe they didn’t called it Gaia…. exemple :around 60 millions buffalos were running free and togheter before europeans :
@ayodhyadissanayake5216

02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMHow is this different from a religion?
It isn't.
@larrybooth1771
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMToday 4/25/2020. The World is in lockdown due to the COVID 19 VIRUS. I wonder how the Gaia hypothesis will come into play? Will the weather change? Where we are today, is a good thing. But how we got here is a disaster.

02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMThis is my favorite video to introduce my design students to sustainable design, integrated design process and systems thinking. It is a paradigm shift for many, certainly it was for me! Thank you David Suzuki and James Lovelock
@ChrisAldridge
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMIn many ways, science is catching up with the ancient beliefs. I don't agree with Lovelock on everything, but he is certainly right about the Earth.
@mathewmho
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMSerious question: Is this not a concept that everyone just naturally grasps? More or less an innate understanding?
@KODstyles23
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMIts because people lost thé greek religion that they are now rediscovering what ait obvious, how Gaia on of the primordials gods , operate.
@eleanornelson3772
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMIt's a pity more people in this world aren't ruled by their heart a little more often. This is beautiful. Does everything have to be condensed into molecular composition to be heralded of benefit and usefulness? I have just written a song and uploaded it to You Tube called Tears of Gaia. (From England) Sometimes you just have to go with your gut !!!! Isnt it obvious that we are destroying our planet and desecrating mother earths fragile balance? If we are all so aware of the connection with other life forms and have been for centuries why oh why are we on this fiery road to self destruction along with all other life forms on this planet?
@tonyontaonet
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMThanks Paloma for your reply. You're correct. Point well taken. My heart got ahead of my head. Your remark helped be get both back in alignment with one another. Yes, the USA is only a portion of the Americas. Yes, this is a complex issue that deserved more than my brief surface reply. At the same time, there are SOME Native cultures on the planet that precedes James Lovelock and deserves to be acknowledged. If you study Native cultures within the continent of Africa, the Americas, and other parts of the world you will find that the concept of Earth as a living organism is not new. Nevertheless, thank you for your comment. It's truly appreciated.
@myfavoritesongs12345
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMOn a side note the people who disrespect the great earth mother they tend to be unhealthy to which is a big one in my opinion, and again deception is the name of the game for the system
@myfavoritesongs12345
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMBy now we should already know that there is a hidden agenda involved here that is trying to destroy the balance, why they are doing it is a different topic, we know they attempt to control everything from media to academia and especially the sciences. So the next time you think you know what the hell your talking about think about this word DISINFORMATION
@myfavoritesongs12345
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMIt is simple, those who disrespect the planetary mother do so out of the fact that they are disconnected from her, these people usually have things in common such as lack of creativity, left brain out of balance and so on
@bryanhall8595
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PManthony glenn miller milleri completely agree. This is a basic belief native americans have always had. One reason the gaia hypothesis I think is so popular is because credit is only only given to those who show at least minimal scientific data, present it, and are white. Native americans didnt present this idea to anyone because its just a belief. You dont need to attach a title to it and write a fucking book.
@anthonyglennmiller9275
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMNative people knew this from ancient times. This is not new. It's like Columbus discovering America. It's not real until an Anglo/Euro person documents it? Really? Natives in America shared this love and understanding of Gaia before European settles visited genocide upon 6 million of them. Native people in the USA are now less than 1 million. Honor Native people. They knew and know that the planet is a living being that is held in balance that "has deep roots in human tradition". That's the close we'll get in this video as a nod to Native people. Honor the truth. Honor Native people and their wisdom.
@The_Accuser
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMI think now I can give you a better example of what I meant. Two months ago, I came to the conclusion that words and arguments won't show you what my eyes can see.
I think now you can see Gaia with your own eyes: 'Space Oddity ISS'. Countless people are touched and shook by the power of those 5 minutes.
Chris Hadfield talks about this himself in his video 'Captain Kirk Chats Up Countryman on Station' at about 17:14

@Magician12345
02/20/2025 - 7:05 PMwow, it sounds like this is the begining of a new religion. just like old religions were created from people observations during times of lesser technologies, now we have new beliefs being formed based off of observations from greater technologies.
