We Are the Earth

We Are The Earth. There is much grief for the ways in which we are destroying the earth and bound up in this grief, anger, and fear I often hear folx say things like: “humans are so bad for the earth” or “the earth needs less humans”. And yet, WE ARE THE EARTH.

S/he created Us. The root of our mistreatment of Gaia is our mistreatment of ourselves; our relentless self-destruction is a soul sickness. At the root of this sickness lay a twisted knot of our misconceptions. Misconceptions about the nature of reality on the earth plane, our own divine nature, and most especially our misunderstanding of our place within the great weave of life and our purpose here.

Misperceptions like we are somehow separate from or inherently bad for Gaia... these reek of punishment based ideologies like the concept of original sin and foster self-hatred and self-sabotage. Do you notice how capitalism thrives with this belief? Misperceptions like we cannot sustain this many humans when actually it’s our relationship to resources that is so heavily flawed.

Look up the concept of emergence and you will see we actually don’t know just how divinely abundant things could be with proper stewardship. We need to admit: we do not know. We are children. Let us open our eyes of wonder.

Misperceptions like this earth is disposable and we will find another place to sustain life - which is analogous to doing your soul work once things get better/ life slows down /things are easier/ you have the right yoga clothes.

We are creating this life from the inside out, and we are destroying ourselves from the inside out.
So where should we go to unravel this mess?

INSIDE.
