Summary

As we confront the challenges of climate change, author James George calls us to wake up and stop our careless treatment of our planet before it's too late. At the same time, he shares his own practice towards waking up-the practice of Presence, known to all spiritual paths and simply and eloquently presented in this book. From The Little Green book on Awakening: "To become aware of the omnipresence of Consciousness may be the next great leap in human evolution and the foundation of the new paradigm in which both science and spirituality can find common ground. For consciousness is the field that connects-not separates-everything with everything, at all levels, and everything with the All, in one Wholeness."
