SOME NEW YEARS WISHES

It is another cool Morning, a couple degrees below zero F. The Sun just arose and it is shining brilliantly. All and all it is a beautiful Morning here on Laughing Water Farm.

I have a wish or a dream that the peoples of the Earth discover their oneness with Her. That we just stop what we are doing and look around and ask ourselves, "What are we doing here?" Can we see the Earth as a living organism in its own right? Can we see the Earth the way we are trying to understand ourselves? Most of us understand ourselves as an intelligent energy {soul, spirit} that has a body. We are beginning to understand ourselves, and identify ourselves, as the energy or spirit and not our bodies. Could we see the Earth in the same way, as the body of a spiritual being?

I wish we could see ourselves as guest of this Earth Being. We live on her, she takes care of us, she meets all our needs. I wish we would honor Her as our loving Mother. I wish we could see how we have mistreated her, wounded her and disregarded her. I wish we could see how we could help heal the wounds we have created. I wish we could see how to restore her to her pristine state.

I wish we could find our natural place as part of this Earth. I wish we could quit fighting Earth's Nature. I wish we could quit fighting Her and trying to dominate and control. I wish we could find a way to accept the place that is here for us. A place of oneness with our surroundings. A place of joyous, peaceful existence.

I wish we could honestly ask some basic questions about our existence. Who are we? What is our purpose? Are we suppose to be learning something; what? Where did we come from? Why do we feel [or act] like aliens on this beautiful Earth? We have mulled over these questions for thousands of years. Where has our religions and philosophies gotten us? Why are we still insane?

I wish we could ask these questions with fresh minds, without preconceived ideas from dead religions and philosophies. I wish we could ask these questions without thinking we know the answers. I wish we could ask these questions and listen for the answer from our heart and not our ego-tortured minds.

I wish we could realize that the world, we see, is our creation and as good or bad as it is, it is ours. We can have the world we want. I wish that, at this very moment, we would all decide we wanted a world created by our decisions to love. It is that simple: choose Love.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Love and Peace,  Gregg
