​

The progress of Civilization is exponentially destroying the natural world as it continues to advance.

We, humans, are too many, are everywhere, and are dangerously smart.

We don't know what we are doing.

 

Long ago domesticated, we have been conditioned to obey, enable, believe, comply, follow, to keep going. Lethargic, confused, disoriented, yet eager and utterly frivolous we have forgotten who we are and why we are here. Without direction, without questioning we don't know where we are going. We are lost.

 

Our greed has alienated us from Nature, from the very flow of life. Our marvelous minds, disconnected from our consciousness, are frantically running this world in automatic mode without a purpose. Intelligence has overridden wisdom. We can't grasp the true meaning of the word Love. In the name of science, religion, economy and political beliefs we continuously carry out abhorrent acts of violence against all of Nature, ourselves included. Worshipers of money and slaves of our own technology we think we have the right to do whatever pleases us. Our recklessness has left a path of desolation and misery, just look around; we torture animals in laboratories with calculated cruelty, devastate forests, pollute the atmosphere and the ocean, turn jungles into lipstick, interrupt the course of rivers, dig and obliterate the earth, murder animals for recreation, leave our garbage everywhere, we already have plans to mine the Moon and Mars, all for our own selfish interests; survival, profit, power, comfort and amusement. Not to mention the horrors of war. Instead of understanding, loving and let be, we conquer, classify and control. With galactic arrogance, we consider ourselves superior; the masters and managers of this planet and beyond, we see everything as a commodity, our ignorance has no limits. We are blind.

 

Now is the time to wake up. Before we irreversibly damage the planet, a new state of individual consciousness needs to arise, so that true collective transformation becomes possible and a new era of living in harmony with The Earth begins.

This planet is Eden and we, children of the Universe, are part of it.

Life, as we know it, can be very different: simple, wondrous.

 

Nakedsouls was born in 2005 as an intention to steer the world in the opposite direction of destruction.

 

By removing our clothes in Nature and dropping our incessant articulated thinking, we dissolve and a portal opens through which the river of life flows simultaneously in two directions permeating the entire world with perfect peace; we become Nature and Nature becomes us, access is granted into a realm from which the resplendent vastness of life is perceived in real time with pristine clarity.

 

The luminous women portrayed here represent this unity, the awakening of human consciousness; pure, innocent, free and beautiful.

To them, my heart and endless gratitude.
