Happy Earth Day, folks!
Sunday, April 22, 2007

Those who have known me for a long time know that I have been preaching an Earth gospel since I was a child, often being responded to with laugher and excuses. One pattern that I have noticed about life is that when people neglect to take notice of pressing issues, the issue grows bigger and bigger until it reaches a critical point. Sometimes it is the-point-of-no-return. With this in mind, I bring up, global warming-- the cool new trend in political issues.

I am happy that mass media is finally picking up on the fact that our environment is screaming, and we have been ignoring. The problem with the media portrayal of global warming is that it perpetuates one-demensional fear. I prefer a more cosmic perception.

We are reaching a point in the developement of human consciousness where ancient wisdom is being renewed and reinterpreted. Like the god of the Greeks, Romans, and many Aborigional nations, I view natural forces as if they are messengers. One can view global warming as such. For example, one may choose to see global warming as a vengefull warrior taking back what is theirs; I prefer the view it as a loving force asking PLEASE for our attention, like a kind parent, guiding their child to safety. Why do people not listen?

Humans seem like children in the the grand scheme of the universe (particularily in politically rich nations). We have been too nieve to listen; too self absorbed to care. We are like teenages, rebelling against our parents, in spite of their love and wisdom. When are we going to grow up and start to think of our earthly community? I have great compassion for those of you who don't understand. At the same time I am humbly angry.

Grow up! It is no sacrifice of the self to act with reverance toward life! It, in fact, fuels the soul and makes one greater and more powerful. Anyone who neglects the Earth, also neglects to recognize their foolishness. I'm not the freakish, tree-hugging hippy that I have been accused of. My head is not in the clouds!!! I possess great wisdom, by virtue of my understanding of simple truths. We need not feel powerless in the face of natures course.

We must have the agency to speak to global warming, who is no less than the voice of God, quietly teaching humanity how to understand. If we do, nature will support us. I know this, because I heard the voice for all of my life.

LOVE,
