Four Paths From The Art Of Green Path EXPERIENCE

Emotional, Social And Ecological Intelligence

When it comes to happiness and success in life, EQ matters more than IQ, as Daniel Goleman argues in his book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ.

People who develop emotional intelligence increase their abilities to understand and manage their own and others' feelings. That helps them in everyday life and work situations when they need to use this knowledge to build emotional, productive, and positive connections.

If you are clear about what you are feeling and thinking at any given moment, it guides you to understand what to want and need and what others want and need. So you can be a better partner, colleague, parent and human.

"Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict. Emotional intelligence helps you build stronger relationships, succeed at school and work, and achieve your career and personal goals. It can also help you to connect with your feelings, turn intention into action, and make informed decisions about what matters most to you." Source: HelpGuide

There are two more dimensions than EQ, called social and ecological intelligence. Daniel Goleman is the coauthor of ECOLITERATE: How Educators Are Cultivating Emotional, Social, and Ecological Intelligence. ‘Ecoliterate’ refers to the ability to understand the interactions between human systems – transportation, energy, building, commerce and industry and natural systems.

We need new types of solutions to get through our ecological crisis. Educating new generations is crucial. They are now forming mental models and habits they will keep lifelong. If we teach them about importance of eco footprints and handprints tracking we can completely change how they behave in the future. If today’s young people are ecoliterate, they will understand what products and behaviors has better impact on our future. They will make connections between environmental issues in the world and how they live collectively. 

We can summarize the importance of ecological intelligence through these four examples:

> When we think, feel, act and care in a wholesome way that supports not just ourselves and our children but also other people and nature as a living organism, we show our emotional ecological intelligence.

> When we unite our healthy choices for our healthy future, we live our next evolutionary step.

> We become visionary humans when we choose work we love and create something good through it.

> When we protect the nature we depend on and transform our lives to reconnect people with nature, we create our art of life.

Clearly, each of us can grow tremendously in personal and professional space if we increase our self-awareness and social awareness, as we learn how to reduce our negative impact on natural systems.

Personal And Social Transformations

The overwhelming capitalistic system feeds on illusive deceptions and emotional void. The labyrinth of chaos and destruction grows from inequality and the extraction of value from people and nature. It is entirely controlled by political and corporate elites and ultimately depends on people's ignorance and weaknesses. Overconsumption and greed destroy people and our life-supporting environments by pushing limitless growth and desires for immediate but short-lived satisfaction. Many people don't care about being enslaved to meaningless jobs by trading their time for money and then for things they don't really need. Such ignorance causes modern illnesses, anxieties, everpresent fear, loneliness and lack of purpose.

Change starts within each self-aware individual who becomes curious about the possibilities of happy, healthy, and responsible living. Self-reflection leads to conscious changes and new unconventional choices that feed personal transformation. Growing emotional intelligence means understanding and controlling our feelings and impact on other people and doing everything possible against conflicts, misery and exploitation. Our state of happiness depends on our curiosity and ability to recognize the beauty of life and be willing to share it with others. In our Art Of Green Path world, we call this journey the Path Of Awareness.

When we observe and experience the world around us, we connect with its wonders and virtues. We develop our sense of belonging and our sincere gratitude for all privileges we have in our life. As we learn not to support different negative energies and choices, we recognize natural patterns of interdependence and abundance, opposite to false realities of fear and scarcity. Our social-ecological awareness wides our reach into new realms of innovation and love. Our dance of togetherness with all creatures moves us into the journey to the unknown and beautiful, and we call it the Path Of Exploration.

Our emotionally intelligent consciousness leads us to new creative actions that make a difference in the world we all share. Personal transformation is enlarged through supporting communities, which means being part of something we believe in. While greedy and dogmatic forces divide people, desires for understanding and cooperation elevate people. The culture of positive contribution happens where our work creates goodness for all without crushing our freedom or killing our ecological aliveness. The social-ecological economy that directly serves positive human needs is made not for profit, debt and inequality increase but for life quality, human well-being, justice, genuine goodness and civilization prosperity inside planetary boundaries. Our virtues are multiplied in this journey of the Path Of Invention.

In this visionary mindset of freedom and well-being for all, the current exploiting global paradigm - imperialism, neo-capitalism, virtual money through debt, war machine, media lies, an illusion of democracy, ecocides and inequality - is not a politically viable option anymore. People recognize its destructive sick distortion and demand its opposite - creative and healthy clarity. The social transformation goes beyond that toward a sustainable, inclusive, resilient, and ecological society. More and more people are starting to actively care about improving our world through loving relationships between people and nature. We lead our collective evolution through the Path Of Fulfillment.

Our Vision

There are many personal and social transformations each of us as individuals and groups can do to stop the destruction and start creating something beautiful, valuable and meaningful. Are you curious to see how I came up with the Art of Green Path? It wasn't easy or straightforward or obvious. But it is in many ways related to all four Paths created.

Through all four Paths, the mosaic of transformative behaviours becomes alive. Curiosity, connection, creation and care can evolve supportive world culture and our interconnected healthy future. Are you ready for the Art Of Green Path EXPERIENCE to really change your life?
