The earth mirrors our inner consciousness.
To heal the earth we must heal our self.
To heal ourselves is to heal the earth.
The ice caps are melting and the forests are being chopped down. The earth is screaming and groaning and weeping with earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and rains.
Soon, if we do not fundamentally change, the earth will be a waste - it will be a wasteland where no flowers bloom. A scorching desert uninhabitable by Man.
To heal the earth we must heal ourself.
To heal ourselves is to heal the earth.
We must take measures to reduce our external pollution of course, but more essential is the internal pollution. In our consciousness, in our minds and hearts we must cease to create the internal pollution of fear, anger, hate, anxiety, and selfishness.
The pollution of thoughts is much more dangerous than the pollution of factories. For our thoughts are the means by which we create and sustain the external factories of pollution. If inwardly we cease to live in pollution, in ignorance and ugliness then naturally our outward living and our environment will be transformed. It will become ever more and more painful and unbearable to live in an ugly, polluted and unloving world. We will be a beacon of health, love, and light shining forth.
We must sink our roots deep into the moist earth. We must drink deeply from the wells of life. We must re-discover the Garden of Eden
Or else the human experiment will end in wailing and the gnashing of teeth.
Or else the light of human consciousness will be extinguished in the universe.
And in our ignorance and insanity we will have committed collective suicide.
We will learn to live naturally and intelligently(as we have never been taught).
We will learn from life and teach ourselves and our brothers and sisters. We will be an example to our children...of how to Live!
With the earth, on the earth, as the earth.
