“Human
beings and the natural world are on a collision course. Human activities
inflict harsh and often irreversible damage on the environment and on critical resources.
If not checked, many of our current practices put at serious risk the future
that we wish for human society and the plant and animal kingdoms, and may so
alter the living world that it will be unable to sustain life in the manner
that we know.”
("World Scientists” Warning
to Humanity, 1992)
There is an eccentric connotation that we (humans) are
inferior to the plant world. Yet—we ingest her daily to stay healthy and alive.
Nearly all foods that we consume are plant based, right?—That bowl of cereal
you eat in the morning-plant, that apple you eat at break-plant, those beans
and rice you eat at lunch-plants, that pizza you eat at dinner-(mostly) plant:
crust-plant based, sauce-plant based, the toppings-plant based (minus the
cheese, if you are cheese eater, or even the meat) but otherwise—we consume and
digest so much of Mother Earth’s gifts. And how good are they? Not only do they
taste incredible on our pallets, they also benefit our internal bodies and
souls keeping us strong and healthy. Every time I consume food—I am beyond
appreciative. At breakfast this morning while I was eating my papaya, I was in
awe by its amazing taste and all its powerful healing qualities it has on my
internal body. Papaya and all fruits, I believe, are way more powerful than us.
They grow from the sun’s energy and have the ability to keep us humans free of
disease. Without fruit –our bodies would be a wreck, same with vegetables, grains,
legumes, seeds and nuts—POWER foods that give us energy to continue on our
journey. All these edible plants and inedible plants all have SOULS and are
able to communicate, feel and experience the same as us.
If you listen, they will speak. I am starting to hear them more
clearly. And they are suffering right now. Humans have done this to them. We
have lost our connection to them—we have lost respect for them, we have been
causing them pain. We feel we are separate from them, more powerful then them. Yet,
they do not hold grudges or make judgment. Mother Nature is not giving up yet,
but I believe if we do not start respecting her and listening, she will
eventually fall ill and no longer be able to give us these wonderful gifts of
pure health and happiness.
We have made a lot of mistakes all over the Earth because we
do not have the consciousness to know how to live in harmony with our own body,
Mother Earth. We have caused very severe damage to: Our Oceans (we cannot live
without oceans. Plankton, which comes from the sea, and at the bottom of the
food chain is needed for our survival—if they go, we go.), Ozone Layer (the
chlorine monoxide is currently 500 times over normal—causing a skin-cancer
epidemic), The Green House Ice Age (if we continue chopping down all the trees that
absorb carbon dioxide, we will create another Ice Age), and Lastly, Underground
Atomic Bombs and CFC’s (which dose not need much explanation). WAKE UP PEOPLE.
Please, wake up! Listen, give thanks, and give back! She only wants what is
good for you – she is crying out. Pay attention and you will hear. It’s a balance—of
give and take.
In addition, every living thing on planet earth is a direct
representative of the divine spark of God. Therefore, every animal, plant,
crystal and human is God. We must respect each of these. Now, I am not saying
you should not eat meat, although I choose to not ingest animal or animal
products, contrary if you do choose to eat meat or the byproducts please show
respect and appreciation. For these animals are also gifts of Mother Earth.
Unfortunately, people are forgetting. We are losing contact with the Earth—and
once we lose the contact with Earth, we lose contact with ourselves. As the
Taoist say ‘The way to do is to be,’ meaning, we need to change our current state
of mind where we realize the situation and begin to take it seriously and work in
a way where we can make some real changes in our consciousness.
Furthermore, humans who lose connection with themselves form
a feral, riotous inner war zone—and once the cells begin not recognizing one
another—they battle against the other, resulting in disease and cancer. We have
lost connection, each of us is God, and each of us is our own shaman. We need
to go within, understand ourselves and reflect on what needs ‘work’ and rather
than putting the blame on others or just repressing these feelings-One should
embrace, and respect themselves, just as they should for all living organisms
on Earth. So stop hiding from the world and yourself. NOW is the time. We ARE
children of nature-We ARE One.
