Consciousness Beyond Consumerism by Terence Sexton

'This is a profound tool for liberation. It will change the way you think,

but more, much more, it will change the way you feel.'

Ed Mayo, CEO Pilotlight, co-founder of the Fairtrade Mark and former Director of the New Economics Foundation and Secretary General of Co-operatives UK

We still have the consciousness needed to create an Industrial Revolution, not to deal with its aftermath.

Consciousness Beyond Consumerism: A Psychological Path to Sustainability draws on psychology, religion, science, philosophy and economics to demonstrate how our consciousness has been industrialised over centuries, becoming the root of our current sustainability crisis.

Part one will enable you to examine your mind and understand how your consciousness supports and reinforces our unsustainable economy. Part two demonstrates how we can individually and collectively develop a new level of consciousness, to enable sustainable living, and provides practical techniques to support this personal growth.

Here's what you will learn:

• The interrelatedness of our current environmental, social and psychological crises
• How our consciousness causes our environmental, social and psychological crises
• The degree to which your consciousness has been industrialised and how it happened
• How businesses exploit our industrialised consciousness to condition us into being consumers
• The nature of our unsustainable economic system and how it is maintained by consumerism
• How you can develop your consciousness beyond consumerism
• What different aspects of society can do to facilitate the development of our consciousness

By developing a new consciousness, we can create a more sustainable society. If we do not, our consumerism will continue to destroy the environment upon which our lives depend.
