“Honor thy father and thy mother . . . that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. — Deuteronomy 5:16.

IT ISN’T GOING SO WELL WITH US these days. This fourth of the Ten Commandments given to the children of Israel through Moses in the desert thousands of years ago has been narrowly applied to familial and parental relationships. I would broaden its application to encompass our relationship with our Heavenly Father and our beloved Earth Mother, particularly with our Earth Mother.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., referring to the “climate crisis,” recently offered a larger perspective: “The carbon orthodoxy has focused our love of the environment on one target: reducing carbon, and carbon sequestration. But there are better ways to protect the environment.” Essentially he counsels that we do what is right for our planet “out of love not out of fear.”

There is fear in the hearts of human beings. But what are we afraid of? In my previous post, “Are We Guilty . . . or Have We Been Swindled?”, I asked another question: Why do you think we’re so ready to accept blame for climate change? The changes in temperature of the climate of the earth are largely driven by the sun, our Star. Human activity does drive some of those changes, contributing to the “greenhouse effect” with our release of gases and carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere that trap in the heat generated by the sunrays, as well as preventing the radiant heat of the planet from escaping its surface.

We are guilty, however, of ignoring the Natural Laws by which our Earth Mother is joyfully governed. We are royally guilty of poisoning our water before we use and drink it, polluting our air before we breath it, and depleting our earth’s soil before we plant and harvest our food . . . which we poison as well. Are we insane, or what?!

FIRE IS A CREATIVE FORCE

What we can’t poison or pollute, however, is the fourth Creative Force, FIRE, although we use fire to burn off our industrial waste that poisons our air with toxic chemicals . . . and the fire has returned to bite us and burn our mind-made world . . . in order to make room for a new world governed by love and generosity, not by fear and greed.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT ENTIRELY OUR DOING

But that is exactly what we’re being told and have been led to believe . . . and we go right along with what we’re told without question it. I’ll restate my questions: Why do you think that is so? Why do you think we’re so ready to accept blame for climate change? I’m no psychologist, but neither am I without a critically thinking and reasoning intellect. I know that there’s a hidden reason underneath it all, perhaps a karmic burden buried deep in the collective race memory of past cataclysmic trauma, cemented there by our Judeo-Christian mythology that has taught us to believe that we are guilty of some “Original Sin” and are born with its mark on our souls . . . which even Baptism apparently doesn’t dissolve. We’re still ridden with guilt and see natural disasters as punitive events for our sinful ways, past and present.

But I suspect it goes deeper than that to the biblical myth that we are responsible for the loss of Paradise — and we desperately want and need to be forgiven . . . by a wrathful god whom we’ve created in our own image and likeness. More than that, we want to return to our original state of innocence in the presence of the LORD God “walking in the Garden in the cool of the day.” And we expect to be punished for our “Original Sin”— the sin of separation from our Creator. After all, we are burdened with the loss of the original Paradise and are bent on destroying this one.

But I will not go down that rabbit hole in this post. Perhaps in the next one. What I wish to share with you my readers at this time is something most enlightening and beautiful that came into my awareness via one of my beloved sons up in Ashland, Oregon. Leo has been following Dr. Zach Bush for some time and resonates with his spirit-frequency to the point of ecstatic gratitude and joy. But, that’s just the way Leo lives twenty-four-seven in exuberant gratitude for life and for his creative journey on the planet. Here is what he sent me a few days ago.

“Wake the Fake Up! — Reawakening Humanity’s Role in the Dance of Nature “

If you’re looking for hope and inspiration in this world of seeming hopelessness and discouragement, then listen to this interview, especially the last thirty minutes where Dr. Bush demonstrates how the CO2 and water cycle is essential to all forms of life on earth, and by sequestering CO2 out of the climate and pumping it into the ground, we will shut down a vital ingredient of life in the Natural World, and it will die . . . with us.

As Dr. Bush points out in the interview, humans breathe CO2 along with a little oxygen (about 20 percent). Every cell in the body breathes CO2. The amount of oxygen determines how fast carbon is used up in generating energy. This showed up in the Covid-19 epidemic when patients were given lots of oxygen via respirators and they died within hours. The oxygen exhausted their CO2 and their cells’ mitochondria could not produce enough energy to keep them alive. Listen to the interview and learn from this brilliant doctor.

When you have an hour and some to spend in quiet space, view this interview of Dr. Zach Bush . . . and be informed, enlightened and motivated. (View the video here.)

“I CHOOSE LOVE OVER FEAR”

I’ll leave you with this beautiful poem by my dear friend and attunement colleague Tricia Heriz-Smith.

“I choose Love over fear”

I choose to expand 

my heart and awareness 

beyond the bounds 

of my small self. 

I feel the unrest in the storms

that rage across the lands,

flooding and fires, 

anger in the cyclones.

I feel the chasmic divide 

that grows between peoples, 

religious and political,

self-righteous indignations.

I feel the pains of starvation 

as children scratch in the dirt, 

covered in sores, 

neath a burning sun. 

I feel the rumble of tanks, 

the whistle of bombs, 

as the walls crumble 

and there’s nowhere to hide. 

I feel all this and more, 

as the cancers grow, 

the pandemics spread, 

and fear poisons the river. 

Yet, I choose Love over fear, 

for I have but one purpose, 

to put aside my judgements 

and the shackles of ego. 

For I am not my ego, but love,

Love that can transform 

all that fear has warped 

if I will only let it 

flow out from me.

For I am called to let 

a clear stream of Love flow

from the sanctuary of my heart .

By Tricia Heriz-Smith 

Our Mother Earth continually provides sanctuary for all Her inhabitants, not the least Her ordained lords and ladies . . . who were given dominion over Her Creation. She will continue to nourish us with her bounty . . . and she needs us to honor her Natural Laws and care for her — not out of fear but out of love.

I welcome any thoughts and insights you wish to share, either in the “Comment” feature or by email. Until my next post,

Be love. Be loved.
