OUR MOTHER

I wish I could write with the grace of a poet. I would like to be able to describe the feeling, of knowing, you are one with Earth. Walking on the Earth and knowing you are an integral part of it.

In the Spring, when we are down on our hands and knees with our hands in the soil, we can know it. I can picture myself squeezing a handful of Earth, smelling it, rubbing it between my hands, being tempted to taste it; filled with the notion that everything sprang from it. Our bodies came from the Earth, they are indistinguishable from the Earth.

We all know those feelings. We have called the Earth, Mother, from the beginning. How is it that we don't treat her like a Mother? Have we ever treated her like our Mother? Some people think the pagans did. There most be pockets of people that do; living apart from what we call civilization. In our recorded history there is little evidence of respect for Mother Earth. Sure, before we had our present technology, we didn't do as much damage; but we tried.

With modern technology, we turned our back on the Earth and treated her as an asset to be exploited in any way possible for our individual and collective separation. Look at all the tons of material goods that were made only to show how one person or class was superior to another. And look at warfare. How is it possible we attempt to destroy each other and our Mother in the bargain. Remember Agent Orange? How about Depleted Uranium?

How would it be different if we knew the Earth was activated by energy, like we are? A spirit or Soul, an energized whole with consciousness. What if we knew we were one in Spirit with the Earth the same as we are one in body? How would we be? What if we said Mother and really meant it?

We have a secret. We always knew all of this. We buried the knowledge deep in our unconscious mind so we could pursue separateness with a fervor. We have done that. It is over.

We have another secret. We know that we are rising in consciousness and we, both our Mother and her denizens, are going to evolve out of this lowly state and experience the golden glow of unconditional love.

Yes it is going to happen. There is only a thin veneer of negativity holding us down. The dark has almost dissipated. We need to help. Keep your mind free of negativity. Focus on the love and beauty you want in your life. Exercise forgiveness for every little irritation in your life and send back love.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
