The
Earth is our larger body. Modern people are out of touch with both
bodies--the smaller and larger, and are self destructive. We pollute our
bodies with bad food and bad chemicals, pharmaceutical drugs and the
products of industry. The larger body is exploited, trees cut,
mountaintops removed and poisoned with smog, pesticides and the
byproducts of fossil and nuclear energy. We are at war with our self.
Tribal people knew of their direct connection with the Earth but we
have forgotten it. Ironically, even though we identify with the smaller
body, we treat it negligently just as we do the larger body. Even the
thing we identify with and call "me" we don't treat with care. How
strange.
There seems to be an awakening happening. While most
still sleep soundly in the nightmare of separation, some are waking up
to the fact that the way we have been relating to our bodies is insane
and changing that self-destructive pattern. God bless us all and give us
the vision and heart to walk away from a system that is destroying
itself. Grace can happen NOW when the idea of isolation is seen through.
Isolation just simply isn't real on any level. Our fate is that of the
planet. It's time to realize that WE ARE THE EARTH.
