> [@patanswer](#): > > “Would that I were a false prophet…” Well…at least you won’t have to reproach yourself for saying nothing about these important matters! Actually . . . next to nothing was said in Karel Husa’s “Apotheosis of this Earth” . . . thanks for this Earth Day 're-release" TJ! Let your life speak. Actions speak louder than words. “What’s it really going to take for this perspective to ground a new world-relationship?” I think a solid musical score stirs up many a human soul . . . a Soulrise. Phillip Glass did the score for KOYAANISQATSI. This one woke me up to the accelerationist human drive and the ease at which we make our life and all life around us out of balance. > The title is a Hopi Indian word meaning “life out of balance.” Created between 1975 and 1982, the film is an apocalyptic vision of the collision of two different worlds – urban life and technology versus the environment. The musical score was composed by Philip Glass. > From website - [Koyaanisqatsi- Life out of Balance](https://www.koyaanisqatsi.org/films/koyaanisqatsi.php) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/i4MXPIpj5sA/hqdefault.jpg "Koyaanisqatsi part 1/9") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4MXPIpj5sA) * * * > [@patanswer](#): > > _What’s it really going to take_ for this perspective to “ground a new world-relationship”?

Is that what it will take? “I was hoping we would at least travel 300 miles in this thing, Betsy… good Heavens! I could have spent my quarter million on that movie theater we talked about…then we could really see this stuff in VR 5-D!” “Sorry Tom…this has been a major disappointment…yes, the theater.” … the Earthrise image hasn’t shone its species-enlightening glory-light into all our eyes. Or changed the rotation of the earth happenings since it’s capture.
