In the beginning, there was a blackness.
Only the sea.
In the beginning there was no sun, no moon, no people.
In the beginning there were no animals, no plants.
Only the sea.
The sea was the Mother. The Mother was not people, she was not anything.
Nothing at all.
She was when she was, darkly.
She was memory and potential.
She was aluna.
~Kogi creation story from The Elder Brothers by Alan Ereira

According to the Kogi, the reason we now experience increasing earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear meltdowns, floods and other natural and manmade cataclysms across the world is ultimately spiritual. Industrial waste is a result of our low level of spiritual development; pollution reflects our lack of awareness of our interdependence with nature and cosmos. The world is in turmoil because we have failed to maintain a sacred, reciprocal relationship with Mother Earth: we lost our way. The nihilism of our culture reflects this.
Quote from the book how soon as now of Daniel pinchbeck

Magdalena, Colombia
A residential hut of the Kogi Indians. Ciudad Perdida. The ruined city is located about 40 km southeast of Santa Marta in the middle of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in the upper valley of the Río Buritaca. It covers an area of about 2 km² and consists of about 200 oval and round terraces, which are connected partly by steep and partly by flat stone paths, whereby the difference in height of the individual terraces is up to twelve meters. The part of the city that is exposed today lies between 900 and 1200 meters above sea level.

Kogi was about five days away from going bankrupt because, with the pandemic, we lost everything. I could have fallen into the trap of all that word salad stuff — by cutting jobs and basically trying to get the water out with a bucket — or I could have doubled down and said, fuck it, if we’re going down, let’s go down the way we started. Let’s feed as many people as possible and give everything away. And by doing that, it saved Kogi. There’s currency and value in caring for each other.
Roy Choi with a thought appropriate for Thanksgiving
