Some Inspirational Goodies to get you “fired up” for your working of the Grid
Here's
some nice "Goddess Gaia" Artwork, to hopefully help get you all
“fired up” for your working of the Grid today. Please just enjoy the artwork
and ignore the background that needs to be re-formatted to scroll properly

Often,
before one understands that one is on a path of destruction, that one is not
moving in the greatest direction of growth, one must become ill in order to
receive and to re-evaluate and to heal. The Earth sphere - Terra, could be
cleaned up quite quickly by entities from the stars. But, the Earth sphere -
Terra is your responsibility. You can, and you will at some point, receive
great assistance. But your challenge is to understand that the work that is to
be done is not primarily done with hammers and nails. The work would be
primarily done with thought. And when you learn to come together in groupings
and respect one another, and to recognize that indeed you can achieve
tremendous steps forward when you focus on manipulating the energy to allow it
to grow and manifest and bring in great light, then indeed, you will be
creating this. (The Pleiadians through Barbara Marciniak, from the book,
Bringers of the Dawn) - www.pleiadians.
------------
…never
forget the debt that you owe to Mother Earth. She has carried you along and
provided for you for millions of years. Now comes the time when you can return
the favor and help her to complete the cleansing that has already started. What
you see as the physical affects of cleansing are rooted in the need to purify
the Earth. It is both polluted by your poisons on one level, and negative
energies on the other one. If you think on a personal basis, you can see and
feel how negative energies can be disrupting and cause an imbalance. Mother
Earth is affected the same way, and in throwing off those energies, physical
changes are brought about.
The
greatest service you can carry out to help lessen the affect of cleansing, is
to be a channel for the incoming Light and ground it upon Earth. Indeed, this
will help all around to bring calmness and a steadying influence that will
benefit everyone. Every little helps, and never feel that your contribution is
too small, as by the Law of Attraction like energies are drawn together and
they become a power to be reckoned with. The mass consciousness also benefits
from the energy by being uplifted. You really do have much more power than you
realize. (St Germain through Mike Quinsey) - www.treeofthegolden
------------
Thank
and honor your Mother Earth for the great sacrifices she has made for all of
you over the many ages. Affirm and decree that you will join others in a
campaign to heal your planet and return it to its lush, pristine beauty.
(Archangel Michael through Ronna Herman) - www.RonnaStar.

...you
are human lightning rods, grounding the higher light into the core of the
planet. This light is a cleansing light, and is aiding the planet in shedding
all those thoughtforms that she has absorbed over the course of her history as
the host for all of the lifeforms that have come forth upon her surface. As the
planet rises through the frequency bands, all of those thoughtforms that she
contains will be cast off, largely through the force of the light being beamed
down into the planet from the higher realms - through your sun, through the
galactic core, and through each of you.
You
are each supporting the cleansing of the planet, and the scenes you witness
[such as 9-11] are the outpicturing of those thoughforms that are being flushed
to the surface - pictures of hatred for others to such a degree it seeks to
annihilate them and cause them every conceivable harm - personal, economic,
humiliation, and so forth...
Those
of you who are embodied on the planet's surface are the point of entry for the
forces of Love and Grace that are being showered down by those in the higher
realms. The core of the Andromeda Galaxy (which overlights your galaxy), the
Great Central Sun of your galaxy, and your own sun are all acting as lenses to
step down the Light from Source and to make it available to those of you who
serve on the planet's surface at this time, in amounts and "packets"
that you can handle without being destroyed by their intensity and power. So
your task is to allow yourselves to receive these energies and to let them flow
through you unimpeded into the planet's core. The more you can surrender your
own resistance to the process and simply allow yourselves to become like hollow
tubes through which the flow can pass, the more you can contribute to this
process. This will also allow you to remain calm, serene, and centered while
all around you is in chaos. If you allow yourselves to be used in this way, you
will be promoting the highest good for ALL involved - all of the players in all
of the dramas, and most of all, the beloved planet herself. (Operation Terra) -

Imagine
that you are a tree and that your roots are growing and reaching down into the
fertile soils of Gaia's essence. Ground yourself in this. Feed yourself with
her love and light. Feed her with your love and light. Give joyful thanks for
this sacred partnership. (The Masters of Light through Daniele DeVoe) -

------------
…you
will come to understand, that each of you contributes, with every thought,
word, deed, to the matrix, or what is commonly known as the overmastermind
energy. However, it is not so commonly understood on your world, that this
shared reality, is also the consciousness of Gaia - not the whole of it, but a
great influence upon it. She struggles with the weight of the fear,
anger, despair and so on. But most of all, she struggles with the sense
of separation, of disconnection, from her Love.
The
indigenous peoples understood their close connection to Gaia: they worshipped
her as the Mother, the giver of Life, and also, death, for the two are ever
inter-twined. It is needed now, for this reverence, the honoring, of the
beauty of Gaia, of the Earth, to become part of the matrix once more, and to
this end, I ask you now, to close your eyes, and simply greet and send Love to
Gaia. That is all it takes - a moment or two, each day, from each of you, and
the difference will be profound. And as you choose to come together in
groups, to honor and convey your Love to Gaia, to Mother Earth, it matters not
what you call her; we support you in every possible way, to convey this Love to
where it is needed the most on the Earth plane.
Even
as you choose to travel to the Web of Love that surrounds the Earth on the Etheric
Plane, connecting yourself into this Web or grid of Love vibration, to connect
to others like yourselves, the Guides, the Angelic Kingdoms, the Wales, the
Dolphins - all are represented here - you are performing a huge healing for
Gaia, as you send your Love to her from this Web. Try it in your own
meditations, for those of you who understand the importance of aligning your
Light in this form of connection to Spirit; and we urge you to use it in your
group meditations whenever possible. The energy from groups, coming together in
Love, to convey this energy, and that of Peace, is beyond your knowing; and we
are in celebration, as we look out from the Etheric Light, now, and see all of
the ever increasing numbers of small groups that are beginning to come
together, to do this now. (Sadiyaa) - www.tikele.com.
------------
All
humanities, out of their love for Mother Earth, feel a need to change, to save
the Earth. When you understand that it is not a solid mass of being that you
are working with, you are already one step on the board of the game. When you
understand completely that thought manifestation is what creates the world,
then you understand how important your thought manifestation is. Your doing,
your activity is secondary. You can do all you want, but if you don't believe
that your doing is any good, and that you are one powerless individual, then
you will not help the shift of the world...
Honor
Mother Earth. Whatever portion of Mother Earth that you occupy, that you own,
that you walk upon - send it loving thoughts. Align yourself with the Earth,
and the Earth energy and do what you feel is necessary for your own personal
growth. Again, the greatest work will be done with your thoughts. Do not allow
yourselves to buy into the idea that your Earth is doomed. For we guarantee you
that it is absolutely not. (The Pleiadians through Barbara Marciniak, from the
book, Bringers of the Dawn) - www.pleiadians.

Throughout
the world at this time there are many groups of humans who are gathering
together participating in many levels of meditation work. The beginning
meditation groups are learning how to connect to the light of their inner
beings, their guides and guardians. Other groups are learning to draw in healing
energies through breath and then learning to project them to a person, place or
thing. Other groups are becoming very creative, working with water beings and
fire beings to be co-creators with them in stabilization efforts. Other groups
are becoming highly interactive with what you might call space beings coming
and going from many crafts. Other groups are accessing vaults of information
and receiving blueprints for new modalities of technologies to be implemented
in the near future. Each of these meditation groups is critical to the overall
well-being of Mother Earth, Lady Gaia, and her many levels of life forms,
whether within the Earth, upon the Earth, or encompassing the Earth. From a
holographic standpoint, all of these life forms are interactive and all of
those life forms still capable of receiving from the sources of light and truth
in any way move forward in unison. (Lady Kadjina) - www.citiesoflight.

The
greatest danger we humans pose to the world around us is not greed, it is
thoughlessness and indifference. (Abby Willowroot)

Imagine
Earth restored to her regal beauty. Stately trees seem to brush the deep blue
sky, and clouds billow to form majestic peaks. The songs of the birds fill the
air, creating symphony upon symphony, each one orchestrated for the moment.
Learn to feel alive. Discover meaning to your life as you explore your aspects
that are stored away as your subconscious self. Send a taproot like a serpent
into Earth’s records and call back to your mind a majestic Earth as a home for
you, the rightful dweller in this place…
Feel
Earth as your home and act on making it a better place. Acknowledge that you,
as a biological being, have the emotions and intuitional knowledge that connect
you to Earth. Your biology establishes roots that keep you connected with who
you truly are. As you learn to tune into Earth you will feel the changes
transpiring. Earth is providing you with an opportunity to extend the knowledge
of your roots and to connect to the very essence of life… The vitality of Earth
is waiting to be discovered by you. She can provide you with a greater
abundance in life if you can respect who she is. She can be thought of as the
Mother Goddess – as an aspect of existence that provides, nurtures, feeds, and
nestles you. She is your home and your mother, the source from which you have
come. (The Pleiadians through Barbara Marciniak, from the book, Earth:
Pleiadian Keys to the Living Library) - www.pleiadians.
------------
...the
world can in a twinkling be rejuvenated, in harmony and completed - all healed,
pristine and evolving in a new direction. You know about spontaneous remission
in dis-ease. You know about miracles in which humans are healed in an instant
with no trace of whatever the disease and symptomotology was in the beginning.
Well, this is also possible with Mother Earth and her shifting into a New
Paradigm. All that is required is for 1% of the earth’s population to change
their mind or thinking patterns from that of illness or a sick world needing
healing - this keeps the old in power and keeps the illness happening and in
everyone’s psyche, senses and observation; this keeps the pattern
"real" here in this dimension - to that of a world already set in
motion that is operating from a paradigm of Unconditional Love for all the
species upon Her, an honouring of all said species; a co-creative attitude
amongst all the species with the Source of the planet; a working together on
behalf of All towards the same goals and an Integrity amongst All so that All
the Beings are fulfilled in the Now!! I realize this seems like Utopia to some
but this is what the Earth now has the possibility of realizing.
Your
Earth has been a "Living Library" for humans and other species who
have come to learn, play and experience anything their hearts and minds desired
- ANYTHING!! You have had total permission to experience it all - except for
one thing - the ability to experience Unconditional Love in such a pure state
that you would forget the will to separate from your Essence and not know
duality. Well, that experiment is over now! Now, Mother Earth and those who
decide to stay on for the long haul, are ready to remember and recreate through
sacred geometric thought patterns, the original blueprint and plan for Herself.
She has grown enough and is now conscious enough to take Her growth into Her
own Hands as it were and move forward on her own agenda which is to become the
Perfection she already knows She is - and is capable of Being. All of the earth
changes happening now are Her moves to right the confusion and
misinterpretations that humans have lived out of, and created from, in their
separation from their "Ground of Being!" Mother Earth is now putting
things right for Herself.
Those
of you who are Her "Caretakers, and who have been so in times long
past," feel the urgency and the cruciality of Her need for you to be there
at Her "beck and call", so that all can move as smoothly through this
transition as possible. Due to the consciousness of the planet Herself, and due
to the growing consciousness level of millions of Her inhabitants, the worst
for the planet is over. Do not get me wrong - there are many Beings out there
who will still experience negativity, pain and suffering because they are not
yet ready to let go of that drama - but the planet, due to this Consciousness
rising does not have to flip poles as has been done in the past. She has had
the possibility of doing this act internally rather than externally. What needs
to happen now is for all of the Humans on the Planet to heal themselves fully
and then decide to work by choice with Mother Earth giving Her the reigns and allowing
Her by Choice to take the lead, offering to follow Her Lead, letting Her guide
through the next steps of the Journey... in order to enable Mother Earth the
most; the best thing any human can do, is to get in touch with your guidance -
learn to hear more clearly than ever before; through practice, practice,
practice - and follow your heart into the task the Mother asks of you!!
The
earth needs the replenishment of the mineral content. There are ways to do this
other than a flip of the axis. There are now ways and means of returning the
minerals to the earth through the waters flowing upon and through the earth
itself. There are also ways now in which the
All
is now available when and if the Humans decide to work together and in
conjunction with the earth with new ways of communication. The air needs to be
cleaned. From the dualistic point of view this is almost impossible. However,
the answers are already all here. Pollution in the air does not need to be a
problem; there are already ways and means to clean and clear the air. We need
however, for the earth’s humans to work together on wanting the same thing for
all of the air surrounding this globe. When this happens plans can be put into
place that will clear all of it immediately. (Amaterasu through Chrystyanna) -

The
earth is here to provide our every need. All that we could ever want is
contained on and within the earth. She is the blue jewel, the keeper of all,
and the doorway to other dimensions. (Karen Bishop, from the book, The

Treat
the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you
by your children. (Ancient Indian Proverb)
------------
People
all over the world are realizing the need to refocus the direction of global
attention toward one of honesty and integration, where valuing peace and
respectfully honoring and caring for Earth and all her creatures are of primary
intent. As the vibration of mass consciousness expands and matures, greater
momentum and focus will be gained. The Earth feels these changes. An evaluated
state of awareness in the collective consciousness of humankind triggers the
Earth to unlock and release more of the complete story of time stored within
her being. (The Pleiadians through Barbara Marciniak, from the book, Path of
Empowerment) - www.pleiadians.
------------
...many
have a view of Planet Earth as an inanimate object which we may exploit and
abuse at our pleasure. The 'Higher Wisdom' however gives us a view which is now
gaining increasingly wide acceptance on Earth: that Mother/Goddess Earth is a
living sentient being, to whom we owe not just our respect, but the privilege
of being permitted to reside and evolve upon Her surface.
Goddess
Earth, or Gaia, as she is also known, is indeed a very High Being belonging to
an earlier wave of Creative Light Beings. She is correctly referred to in the
female as she has retained a certain predominant female characteristic. Having
originally completed her own first Great Cycle of Evolution and returned to the
Godhead, she was then given 'Higher Service', a chance to become a
"Planetary Being" through 'ensouling' the body of Planet Earth. She
was also given the assistance of a 'Planetary Logos', a highly evolved soul who
maintains contact between Her and all the evolving sentient lifeforms within
and on Her surface. This has up to now been the Lord Sanat Kumara, originally
trained for this position on Planet Venus. It is he who has provided the vital
link between Mother Earth and the Mineral, Plant, Animal and
------------
The
divine plan was perfected and the groundwork was laid long ago for what is
taking place on Earth at this time. Just as these great beings came to prepare
humanity for the multiple cycles of mass awakening and ascension back into the
realms of enlightenment, within the core of its being the Earth was encoded
with the vibrational frequencies, keys and codes that would activate its own
awakening and also accelerate the awakening process within humanity as well.
(Archangel Michael through Ronna Herman) - www.RonnaStar.
------------
That
Being whom you know as Mother Earth, the Goddess Gaia is a very powerful Being,
possessing profound wisdom and power. By the invocation of a single word she
can transform the whole nature of her being. Although she has released partial
dominion on her surface to Humanity as Planetary Guardians of the mineral,
plant and animal life so that Humanity may learn therefrom, ultimately Gaia
controls the planet and the nature of what manifests on its surface. Nature is
her nature.
This
planet is now approaching a time in its evolutionary cycle when it will change
dramatically, rather like a snake throwing off its old skin. Every so many
thousands of years, no matter whether Humanity is incarnated on Earth or not,
this planet goes through a metamorphic change as part of its natural cycle. As
our physical bodies replace themselves every seven years, so does the planet's
body. This is essential for the planet in order to preserve the creative, the
reproductive nature of its being. So at its appointed time the planet goes
through a cycle of transformation. This necessarily involves major movement of
the planet's landmasses, movement of the waters, and the restructuring of the
matter of the Earth. (The Master ZEN TAO, channeled by the Ramala Centre,
------------
The
Earth needs your assistance as well. It's not as though because, relative to
hers, your "size" is so tiny that you can't possible do anything to
help her. She is profoundly aware of every one of you who sends her healing.
The reason it is so critical for you to send the Earth healing is that it
accelerates the process, it buffers, so that the energies can be released less
"harmfully."
------------
The
idea that Mother Earth has a consciousness is a strange concept to many of you.
Perhaps it will be more understood by remembering that all creations have a
consciousness, down to the simple cell. (Atmos through Mike Quinsey) -

With
the earth being such a higher vibrating entity, we could greatly benefit if we
stayed continually connected to her. Studies have shown that just lying on her
daily, immensely improves one's health, and even heals, as well as supporting a
continual state of peace and calmness. If I do not have a daily connection with
the earth, I get very wiggy and off-balance. Telling most of everyone, no
matter what their spiritual orientation, that "The earth is my
church," always brings a nod of agreement.
The
earth has much to tell us now. She is ready to reveal her long hidden secrets.
If you have chosen this page, know that your ascension process can be greatly
supported through re-connecting with the earth. This powerful, sometimes
overlooked, and highly vibrating Source is there for us to utilize right now.
The earth is our doorway to ascension. It is through her, that we can continue
to be in alignment with the higher realms. By choosing this page, you are being
encouraged to connect to the earth. Try and turn off your TV, computer and
phones. Spend more time with your feet directly upon her, eat organic, go
camping or hiking, work in your garden, take a daily walk in nature, become
involved with sustainability, or simply partake in anything made from the
earth. (Karen Bishop, from the book, The Ascension Companion - A Book of
Comfort for Challenging Times) - www.whatsuponplanet
------------
I
ask you each to take the time to connect with me. Perhaps as you look at
the trees, smell the flowers, walk upon the earth, look at the ocean; how so
ever you choose, be aware that I am here in support of you and I appreciate all
the ways that you are supporting me. (Lady Gaia through Shelly Dressel) -

As
you open to it, the beauty of life will be revealed to you. There are days,
moments, when life opens to you all her beauty and wonder. Moments when the
roses seem to unfold before you, when a drop of dew on the petal contains the
entire universe of love and wonder. There are moments when the leaf in your
hand reveals to you all her intricate patterns and each bird that flies across
the sky has a message which is sung out for you. And all you need to do is open
to the world, learn to grow quiet and be receptive to her beauty and her
messages, her wonder and glory. You are a part of it, connected to it. And as
you consciously open to it, the beauty of life will be revealed to you. Each
day, look for moments of peace and beauty. Look for a way to walk from here to
there that takes you by the flowers, the grass, under a spreading tree. Look up
at the sky and watch the clouds. Pay attention to the birds. Spend little
moments here and there, even in walking across the parking lot, in which you
consciously become one with the beauty of the world. These little moments will
be little drops of water into your well of peace. They will add up, drop by
drop, building your center of peace and wonder and will be there for you when
you need to be the source of light.
Here is a little prayer
for you today
Today,
may I open to the wonder and glory that is life. May her beauty pour down upon
me and bless me, moment by moment, throughout my day. Today, may I walk in
beauty and wonder, feeling my connection with all that is, in every step, in
every glance. May I know that I am a part of all that is, a part of the sky, a
part of the clouds, a part of each blade of grass. And may all of this bring me
peace in my heart and in my center. I am one with all that is. I am deeply
connected. I am. (Quado through Carrie Hart) - www.quado.com

And
forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to
play with your hair. (Kahlil Gibran)
------------
The
animals and plants will be your wayshowers to the devic and elemental kingdoms,
the natural kingdoms that are governed by those forces whose reality is
unrecognized by yours. Take time to find intelligence in the chrysanthemums,
the grasshoppers, the ants – in all these things. The experience will implode
everywhere, for anyone who wants to become connected to the Earth. The healing
of Earth will come about because of the conversing and exchanging with all of
Earth’s occupants. (The Pleiadians through Barbara Marciniak - From the book,
Earth: Pleiadian Keys to the Living Library) - www.pleiadians.
------------
On
Earth, the divinity of nature presides at the core of all life, and a sense of
its precise planning and impeccable order can be easily recognized by the
mathematical eloquence embedded in nature's designs. Far earlier than the last
massive global upheavals almost 12,000 years ago, people lived with respect for
nature's order and used it to further their understanding of her mystical
technology. At various times throughout the ages, Earth was honored as an ancient
ancestor of creation, and when she was recognized as a living being, her
conscious awareness of all that transpired within and beyond her domain was
shared with her numerous inhabitants. The most important aspect of this shared
knowledge was that the precision of nature connected the smallest part to the
grandest of cosmic schemes. (The Pleiadians through Barbara Marciniak, from the
book, Path of Empowerment) - www.pleiadians.
------------
When
you make the transition, dearest ones, you will reconnect with the Sacred Earth
and its power. You will understand, as your ancestors did before you, that the
Earth is a living, sentient and sacred being, and that it provides for all who
live on it. Your ancestors knew how to connect with the Earth in sacred rituals
and meditations, and how to work with Spirit to call to them all that was
needed for survival. The Earth provides and the supply is infinite. There never
was or will be a shortage of resources, only a population that has forgotten
how to access the nurturing and providing of the Earth itself and how to share
this abundance.
And so, dearest ones, as you cross over and discern how ancient and sacred the
Earth is in its wisdom and love, you will once again access the sacred mystery
of life on planet Earth. Not all can be known. Not all needs to be known.
Miracles arise in the acceptance of Mystery and the Unknown.
The keys to this way of life are Respect, Honor and Sharing. Respect for all
sentient and non-sentient beings. Respect for those who have wisdom and
experience, and respect for those who have youth and strength as their gifts.
Honor the gift of life and all that is given, and share what you have with
those who have less. (Archangel Michael through Celia Fenn) -

So
unconscious the human species has become they no longer retain awareness of the
dreamtime realms in which spirit is in constant communication with all species

his circle of compassion to all living things, man himself will not find peace.
(Albert Schweitzer)
------------
Is
it not sad that you live on such a beautiful planet yet it is treated with
little love or respect. It is a living entity, and even if you cannot
understand that, you must admit that Mother Earth supplies all of your needs
and has done so for eons of time. You are on your home which is your ship,
speeding through space as you orbit your Sun and yet many of you seem to care
little for her. Much of this comes from a lack of understanding, and when we
arrive we have so many subjects to discuss with you. For us the most important
aspect is that you realize the dependence of all life forms upon each other.
You have been informed many times that you are One, and your life must be led
with an appreciation of the place all others forms have with you. The balance of
nature has been disturbed and this is also an area that requires urgent
attention. ( SaLuSa through Mike Quinsey) - www.treeofthegolden

Mother
Earth's emotional body is comprised of the emotional body of every living
person on earth. As we clear ours, she clears hers. Since our physical ailments
are manifestations of our emotional blocks, as we clear our blocks, our
physical ailments disappear. The same occurs in Mother Earth. Her physical
ailments manifest as tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, erupting
volcanoes, firestorms, etc. So as we clear our emotional stuff, the earthquakes
become small tremors, the floods are downsized to rains of short duration.
(Jelaila Starr) - www.nibiruancouncil
------------
Earth
agreed to this joint learning with man and had a deep understanding of the
various possibilities that could happen. This Being operates from a place of
love and does not feel she is a “victim” or feels anger about the apparent
destruction of areas upon her form. Everything in the universe is done by
agreement - everything. She watches with love and perceives the struggle within
man to overcome all the barriers he has set himself. (Sandy Stevenson) -
www.nvisible.
------------
If
sufficient light is taken (via lightworkers) to help this transmutation, Gaia
does not then need to correct the energy imbalance in a geophysical manner,
such as through earthquakes, floods, etc. In her love and compassion for all
life upon Earth and for her own comfort, she would naturally prefer to have a
pain and trauma free transition. As we know most mothers would choose the
gentlest birth possible. She is no exception and doesn�t enjoy the pain
of cracks and upheavals in her structure or the added trauma of human
suffering. (Sandy Stevenson) - www.nvisible.
------------
As
you go into the higher dimensions everything becomes more refined and
beautiful. Even now in your minds you are lifting the vibration upon Earth, and
you will see how it will be restored to its full beauty. The ugliness and
despoiling of it will disappear as such low vibrations will be unable to exist
in the new ones that are manifesting upon Earth now. (Ela through Mike Quinsey)

Treat the Earth Well
by Mary Mageau
km3highnote@
Several
years ago one of our free to air television stations hosted a program series
entitled, 'Third Rock from the Sun.' The story line explored some very
entertaining exploits of extraterrestrials visiting and living on planet earth.
Yet many people complained about the series' title because it described our
planet as a dead rock, covered by only a thin layer of air, water, soil and
biological life. Thankfully this mistaken 'dead rock' idea is losing ground, as
modern science and humanity rediscovers the fact that planet Earth is a living,
conscious and self-regulating organism. And in these current times of rising
community awareness with our present focus on global warming and climate
change, a new Gaia hypothesis is also slowly gaining ground.
The
author of the Gaia Hypothesis, Dr James Lovelock, is an independent scientist,
author, researcher and environmentalist. Born in 1919 he now resides in
The
Gaia hypothesis proposes that our planet functions as a single conscious
organism that maintains conditions necessary for its survival. Long ago the
Greeks gave Earth the name of Gaia and its abbreviation, Ge. In our early
history science and religion were unified, but with the passing of time this
relationship faded and was replaced by separation through academic and
professional rigidity. The life sciences were no longer concerned with life and
instead fell to classifying dead things and even to vivisection. Ge was stolen
from theology and was no longer acknowledged as the root from which the
disciplines of geography and geology were named. The prevailing materialism of
that time considered that everything physical was simply an object whereas the
spiritual approach always seeks to discover the life force in all things.
Fortunately there are signs emerging which suggest that science is becoming
holistic once again and theology too, moved by ecumenical forces, is slowly
beginning to acknowledge that Gaia is not simply a label for an inanimate
entity. Despite the fact that the Gaia hypothesis is steadily growing in the
West, it has always been accepted by many Asians and by all of the indigenous
people world-wide.
Contemporary
scientific study and research is also supporting this concept. Rupert
Sheldrake, an English biologist and Matthew Fox, a lecturer in science and
spirituality both agree that in our current millennium we need a fresh vision -
that of a new animism. Animism is the belief that the entire universe itself
and all natural objects within it contain some form of a soul, therefore
everything manifests some degree of consciousness. This new idea is sweeping
our world, together with its accompanying sense of the holistic unity and
grandeur of all creation. A new theory is also being developed that will unite
science and religion with the sacredness of material creation. It is their
present separation that underlies our current crisis of ecological deprivation
with its long history of destructive pollution and the total waste of all
natural resources. Humanity must now begin urgently and seriously to assume
full responsibility as caretakers and stewards of this beautiful planet. The
time has arrived to stop viewing the Earth as a vast resource to be continually
exploited for commercial gain, or used solely for the achievement of one's
short-term political goals. With the present acknowledgement of extreme climate
change, global warming and rainforest destruction, our very survival now
depends on this important and serious issue.
Indigenous
people are the true and traditional keepers of the planet and their long
history of conservation and respectful Earth care is deeply inspirational. As
we continue to abuse the land and sell its non-sustainable resources, their
despair and disempowerment continues to increase. Our natal home planet has
often been referred to as 'Mother Earth,' because she continuously provides so
much abundance and beauty through which to sustain us. Since time immemorial
Mother Earth has offered her body to humanity as a platform on which we have
all experienced and lived out our many life's lessons. Despite our lack of
loving care for her, she bestows her gifts freely and unfailingly as any loving
mother does. But the time has finally arrived for all her populations to lift
their consciousness and respond to her by assuming a long overdue stewardship
role, a sincere cherishing and a genuine appreciation for her.

Nature's Bounty
Gardening
offers a wonderful opportunity to work with Earth's energies. Even a sunny
balcony or a back step can hold several potted plants or flowering shrubs. A
pot or two, a small bag of potting mix and a few seedlings can get you started.
Leaf lettuce, herbs and tomatoes are all easy to grow and can be nurtured and
then harvested for the sheer enjoyment of eating something you produced.
Working directly with nature is very conducive to prayer and meditation.
Gardening is the slowest and most peaceful of the performing arts.
If
you have an open, sunny garden space, why not plant a tree. Invite a friend or
two to join you thereby creating a simple ritual to mark the event. Eat many
healthy live foods (fresh fruits and vegetables), and drink plenty of clean
water. Enjoy preparing and eating these basic foods noticing their rich colours,
tastes and textures. By eating slowly and mindfully we deepen our sense of
gratitude and our appreciation for Earth's bounty.
Earth
Silence Meditation
One
can also experiment by occasionally meditating out of doors. Sitting in a
comfortable space while listening to the sound of the wind and the singing of
birds can be a beautiful and relaxing experience. Enjoying Mother Nature's
silence sensitizes you and develops inner peace. Even our Aboriginal
Australians practice the way of the Dadirri, in which they are taught to live
with nature's quietness, in a deep inner listening and a still awareness. Make
a decision today to actively begin to treasure and enjoy our planet more
deeply. Let us all treat the Earth well.
