We live in difficult times: domestic violence, terrorism, gross exploitation by various governments and financial institutions, ecological destruction, global warming.........the list goes on.We now know from major advances in developmental neuroscience that if there is significant abuse or neglect in the first three years of life, the results can be catastrophic.If we could only get those first three years of life right, a huge range of negative behavioural consequences would be reduced to more manageable levels......less violence, less terrorism, more empathy and compassion, more energy to apply to positive ends.Compared with other health problems, the burden of child maltreatment is substantial, indicating the importance of prevention efforts to address this high prevalence.How can we ease and amend all this? What we need are programs to nurture the nurturers.When I was being mentored by my Aboriginal elders in Central Australia, we had to exchange dreams. I dreamt about a Dreamtime ancestor whose task was to nurture the nurturers. But his domain extended to the entire planet.Wati Kanyilpai begins his global journey from Central Australia, looking after all the nurturers, especially the mothers, human and animal, that nurture their infants. But his nurturance extends to anyone or anything that cares for other beings.What we need are Ministries in Early Childhood Nurturance, departments that can identify mothers/fathers at risk and in stress, and programmes that protect and nurture them.This capacity to nurture the nurturers, to look after all the beings who already look after other beings, is a vital task if we are to save this suffering Planet.

This study traces western humanity's physical and mythological evolution from its earliest known origins to the present day. Signposts of this evolution are the taming of fire, the creation of weapons, clothing and housing to the great civilisations of ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome and religious expressions of early Judaism, Christianity and the less known Gnosticism and Alchemy.It explores the idea of unity in the disciplines of Philosophy, Psychology and Physics and its expression in Matter, Vegetation, Animals and Humans. The study also shows how the idea has bearing on decision-making of contemporary issues and how societies structure themselves based on projected ideas and inner characters. It emphasises the importance of knowing the difference between unconscious contents and the physical world to avoid possession by either side.The final chapters offer methods of forming a relationship between the physical world and the inner world of ideas and characters, and shows how the symbolic language of dreams, ideas, fantasies and synchronicities are interpreted through association, amplification and objectivity. It endeavours to categorise and describe the components of synchronicity using examples from individuals. Finally, it shows how to perceive, understand and integrate the Idea of Unity and how it supports, guides and gives meaning to our everyday lives.
