simonthescribe / publications: consciousness, nature and freedom

Simonthescribe, The Earth Keeper: For half a century I’ve been practising non-conformity, sovereign creation & writing visionary fiction. I opt out, build stuff, question systems, stay sovereign. And write about it. For fifty years I have been following the threads of a deep-green relationship with the Earth such as:

Sustainable living
Nature integration
Human and other consciousness
Social change
Creative intelligence
Spiritual welfare

This web site gathers the books, guides, stories and creative works that have emerged along the way. Some are visionary fiction, Some are practical guides, Some are spiritual reflections. All are rooted in love, curiosity and positive action. Most of the content is here in digital format, to save trees and honour the natural world that inspires much of my work. Links on this page open into further information on e-books or Free Resources. Please wander through these creations. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed making them for you.

Section 3: NATURE STORIES & VISIONARY ECOLOGY

Stories are essential to all cultures and form many of our values. They allow us to envision a future and remember a past. A Shaman of the Achuar tribe, met a group of activists from the United States near the Xingu River. They were searching for ways to protect Indigenous Peoples from the oil industry. He told them: “Don’t try to help us here. Go back to your own culture and change the dream of the modern world! It is because of this dream that we are perishing.” Hell, are we suffering in the West from Bad Colonialist Stories. So here is an antidote!

Section 4: SOVEREIGNTY AND CONSCIOUSNESS

If consciousness is the canvas of your awareness, then sovereignty is the executive capacity to direct it. Together, they represent the ability to claim ownership over your own mind, values, and attention, operating from inner authority rather than reacting to external control. The stories below explore such concepts.
