Environmental/ Mother Earth

This is the great lie of our separation from the collective, from the earth mother. We think we will be judged as individuals and not as a collective. Though there may be a judgment for the individual, make no mistake there will be a judgment for collectives. Races will be judged as races, nations as nations, tribes as tribes, religions as religions, societies as societies. If your are a member to one of these whether you want to be or not, and you have to be a member of at least one, then you, as a member of that collective will be judged. Your collective will be judged and you will be a part of it, no escape.

You may say, "Hey look, I just go to work everyday and do my part. I take care of my family, I do not harm anyone and I try to be of service to my friends and my community, what’s the beef?" The beef is this, when you go to work you drive your car. When you are at work you are making money for yourself and for the company. You may be involved in the making of a product, lets say its baby rattles. Ask yourself, "Are these ‘normal activities’ destructive?" We all know what this destruction is: the rain forest, the perpetuation of child sweat shops, dirty air, corrupt governments, crime, child abuse, weakening family life, loss of resources & so on.

So, when you drive your car to work you are emitting poisons into the air that is causing the oceans to rise and people to not be able to breathe. When you are working for money for yourself and your company you are participating in an economy that perpetuates in destruction just by its mere existence. The making of baby rattles promotes the use of petroleum based products that further promotes a petroleum based economy which is the root cause the decay of our earth mother. Not to add that our economic system promotes and preserves the isolation of the collective by its TV’s, mass communications, intangible mobility or the use of cars which put us inside a cubical and away from contact with the earth when we travel. Don’t get me started! Besides, we all know this already.

You may feel as though you are detached from the destruction our economy causes. But you are most certainly not, you buy the products that make the economy sustain itself, you are a functioning unit in its existence. You can not escape the responsibility because you buy and use the products that people in third world countries are dying from the production of. Of course, your excuse is, "Well, I have to make a living, I have to eat, I have to clothe myself, you know, how else can I survive?" But hey dude, you are doing way more than surviving! You watch a TV, you eat McDonalds, you drive two cars, you have a computer, you have three coats, ten pairs of shoes, and three suits. You have a complete dining room set and two sets of bedroom furniture. You have 60 CD’s and three places to play them. And you know what, you are lower middle class!

And guess what, every thing mentioned above was made at the cost of the earth, and some poor native in a foreign land. Just so you can survive? You are not detached, you are very much a part of a destructive force called the modern society, and guess what, you are not innocent.

I do not know where we exactly crossed the line. Was it the ability to grow our own

Thirdly, maybe reading ‘The Nature of Personal Reality’ a Seth Book by Jane Roberts will add to more understanding of the above concepts. You will find this at http://spiritual-endeavors.org/
bookstore/Seth-books/
  or your local bookstore. Maybe in some way this will help. It is just so wonderful to question these concepts the way you are doing. It can only propagate your own Truth, as well as, Growth whether you want that or not. And that is All There Is.

Hello there. Understand you do some "channeling". Do you have any books, etc.. you could refer me to ? Thanks so much. Ken
***********************************response

Dear Ken,

I can suggest only from my personal experience but there are many out there. The  one that was great for me and got me on my way safely was "Opening to Channel" by Sanaya Roman & Duane Packer. Another is "Channeling, How to Reach Out to Your Spirit Guides" by Kathryn Ridall and there’s a study of Channeling done by Authur Hastings (not a How To) called "With the Tongues of Men & Angels. Hope this helps.

Honoring your path, , SE Corporate Program Coordinator

Your Letter in NB 
Date:
Sat, 7 Apr 2001

This letter is in response to Simon Hunts’ comments (italics below) written in a letter to Maria which can be found on page 8 at http://www.spiritual-endeavors.org/nb/
01/1april-may/index.html
 

Mr. Hunt: Your statement in the letter which you posted in New Beginnings is perhaps the best explanation I have ever read regarding why "reality" is an illusion. To whit:

     "Reality is relative thing. We all exist within our own individual reality, and group realities, or mass consciousness exist by agreement. Even so, 14 people together in a room are experiencing 14 different rooms... realities... and there are common elements that are agreed to on various levels, so there is a common experience /generally similar... but each uniquely different - if one were to deeply analyze the experience of the 14 individuals.
     This difference is not normally noticed by anyone, and some would even disagree with the statement strongly... because we are not normally ‘aware’ of much at all.... and least of all ourselves, and how we are creating our reality. "

Beautiful. Simply put. In that lies the beauty. Jon C. Gilbert - Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God. <>
