It is crucial for us to understand and act upon the messages of Mother Earth, now. Yes -Mother Earth is bleeding – the oil and gas are her lifeblood. This catastrophe in the Gulf – together with the message from the volcano in Iceland that shut down airspace for so many days – meaning that oil and gas were not burned up in the many takeoffs and landings of airplanes- is a big message to STOP extracting fossil fuels, the blood of Mother Earth at a rate that is greater than Mother Earth can produce. She is protesting. Are we listening?
We are the consumers and we demand this – we are all a part of the problem and as well a part of the solution. How much is your own blood worth? How much is the blood of Mother Earth worth? The answer is there is no monetary value that is enough.
Two weeks ago I saw buses that run on fuel cells in Whistler, BC. The buses only emit water and don’t use fossil fuels for the engine. We have the solutions, the solutions are inside of us. The same creative genius that is destroying our planet can be used to live in alignment with Mother Earth and her cycles. She is waiting for us to figure it out.
What we can do are very practical things:
1. Commit to reducing personal consumption of fossil fuels and review regularly to see what you can additionally do- I have committed to not using my car or other forms of fossil fuel transport 3-4 days/week
2. Use public transport if you have to go somewhere and it is available to you.
3. Ban plastic bags which are made out of oil – they did it in Dharamsala India – why can’t Americans and Canadians (apparently one city in Canada has done that) – therefore lobby local governments to make that happen.
4. Find out how much fossil fuels you are burning up and do carbon offsets/giveback/spur on the reduction of the use of fossil fuels etc. by the following 2 points:
4. Invest in natural energy production technologies that reduce and will ultimately eliminate the burning of fossil fuels.
5. Plant trees, buy acres of forest, rainforest to help protect Mother Earth. Also replenishes in the long term fossil fuels as – Fossil fuels are dead plants and animals under pressure for a long time – so eventually these forests as hard as it might be for us to believe may become fossil fuels. – as we have no idea of Spirit’s designs for this planet. The point is to give back to Mother Earth more than we are taking from her.
6. Walk on the Earth in barefeet and spend lots of time sitting and lying on her and playing as well – so that we can feel her messages and be tuned into both the blatant messages like those that we are being given and the more subtle messages
7. Pray to Spirit for the solutions and then act on your vision and insights received.
8. Whether you are a man or a woman – claim your divine feminine power – there is a crisis with Mother Earth because we are so much in the masculine and not enough in our divine, feminine intuitive power
9. Add to this list and circulate it – so we can learn from each other what actions we are taking and do what needs doing in alignment with Mother Earth and Spirit.
I am listening and I hear her crying. I also hear her love and joy as I spend time in nature, honouring, respecting, and savouring it.
“just because we can doesn’t mean we should” and I believe the people are making changes. Now, if only the corporations and the governments could catch up.
