We are the Earth

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.
