Healing Tones

Behold the vast Pacific and Atlantic Oceans stretching as far as the eye can see. Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, stand out in brilliant detail. And there, in the distant backdrop, the mysterious silhouette of the moon adds an extra layer of cosmic wonder!

Earth’s Atmospheric Boundary*

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO I spoke of boundaries, putting out a call through a song that I wrote years ago in celebration of Earth Day:  “Who will stand with me in the midst of the fullness thereof and put a hand of care on the boundaries of the fullness thereof. The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.” How can anyone look upon this picture and behold the relatively thin atmosphere of our planet Earth and not feel a deep sense of care for Her boundary of connection with the Universe, particularly with Her origin Star and solar system? (Learn about the five layers of the atmosphere here.)

Boundaries both separate and connect.  Their purpose is to contain and protect what’s on the inside from being adulterated and confused with what’s on the outside. All things are connected, but not without boundaries. This seems a contradiction, but it’s the way of oneness and coherence . . . so that energy can flow between the parts that make up the whole and through the whole.

BIOLOGICAL BOUNDARIES

To elucidate, all the cells of our bodies have skin, as do our bodies themselves. Skin provides a boundary between what is on the inside of our bodies and what is on the outside.  That skin includes the membrane that lines the inside of our intestines, keeping the food we eat separate from the body as it is processed and broken down then assimilated.  During assimilation, selective nutrients are allowed through the membrane boundary and into the bloodstream to be distributed throughout the body with the assistance of the lymphatic system.  What is not used is simply eliminated from the body, again with the assistance of the lymphatic system and the organs of elimination. 

With the introduction of the systemic herbicide glyphosate (used in the herbicide Round Up) into our foods via commercial agriculture, we are destroying the tight junction between the cells that comprise this lining, creating what has come to be known as “leaky gut syndrome.”  With the widening of the gaps between the cells of the lining in the intestinal wall, larger particles, such as undigested proteins, pass through the wall and make their way into the bloodstream, where they are immediately attacked by the body’s immune system and tagged for elimination.  The elimination process involves, among other things, the production of mucous, lots of mucous, especially in the lungs.  Sometimes hives break out in the skin, which is an organ of elimination itself. This is known as anaphylaxis syndrome, aka allergic reaction.  Thus, the prevalence today of food sensitivities and allergies.  The boundary between inside and outside, between what is “self” and what is “non-self” is breached.  The solution is to consume only organically grown fruits and vegetables.  Obviously, the ultimate solution is to discontinue the use of herbicides and pesticides in commercial farming altogether.

THE MINERAL BOUNDARIES

One of the boundaries that connects us with the planet and protects it from isolation is the mineral kingdom . . . a boundary that human industrial enterprise is disrupting and destroying at an increasingly fast rate.  The “veins” of mineral deposits that run through the surface of the earth — along with the ley lines that run between and connect “sacred sites” — make up the electric grid of the planet as well as its communication network with the solar system.  Earth is a “Sacred City” and living being. To breach that circuitry and boundary is to compromise the connection of our planet with the solar system and thereby isolate it from its cosmic context.

Here’s how Dr. Zach Bush describes and explains this disruption and its consequences in an interview on Chervin Jafarieh’s podcast Wake The Fake Up entitled “Reawakening Humanity’s Role in the Dance of Nature:

“How did we cut ourselves off so fast and accelerate our extractive destructive activity? And I think that we’ve actually not only disrupted human biology [referencing the damaging effects of glyphosate to our intestines) . . . on the planetary side we started extracting minerals critical to the information stream around the planet . . . . You start mining all the lithium out of all the strands running around the planet — as though it were wired to carry electricity — and the strands of gold and copper, along with the cobalt mines in Africa, you will disrupt the electrical potential of the planet.

We use cobalt in cell phones because it’s a potent organizer of electromagnetic fields that allows us to create an enormous amount of consolidated information streams. The cobalt was at that exact point in the earth because it was a critical acupuncture point within a meridian system that allowed electricity to flow at a global level . . . and allowed earth to become a womb that would birth all life. [He is referring to Africa as the cradle of all life on earth.]  And, ironically, the vaginal canal or the uterus, if you will, or the womb of this planet seems to run in a single electrical strip right up Africa. So it streams from Durbin, South Africa, up to Egypt . . . where the Sinai deserts are . . . but also extends up to the next continent, all the way up to Northern Europe, England . . . all the way up to the Celts, and before that the Vikings.

And so you have this history of human ingenuity, human behavior. And then you start to dig down and find that . . . archeologists and anthropologists are showing us that all of life arose out of that one line. All biodiversity burst out of this meridian, and the famous Rift Valley in Ethiopia.  Trees, plants, everything we’ve talked about — bacteria, fungi, viruses — all came springing out of this one meridian.

The planet has a generative source of life because it’s an electrical being, and it can organize energy in a constructive, centropic way. [I think he means negentropic, or orderly]. Entropy is the measure of chaos, and centropy (negentropy) is the measure of order. So, the measure of order out of chaos is really a description of a witnessed universe — [A quantum physics term that alludes to reality as observer-dependent].

The second law of Thermodynamics is: any system left in isolation increases its entropy.  It’s the most proven law in physics.  Any human left in isolation increases its chaos. Any culture left in isolation increases its chaos.  If you isolate an atom you will increase its chaos.  All the way down to the very fabric of nature, isolation increases chaos.

A planet that is bringing stardust into the beauty of life is centropic.  If we have a centropic system on this planet that’s increasing biodiversity and intelligent life every eon that goes by, then we’re not alone. So, if we’re not alone, what does that say about the connectivity of the planet?

This planet was uniquely designed to cycle carbon and water, and in so doing capture energy at an enormous rate.  And so our planet, with all its cobalt, lithium and all its deep ore systems, are like hot spots on a line that runs all the way around the earth.  We have this electrical grid — basically an intelligent computer system — that we’re tearing apart through mining, through [hydraulic] fracking, through all this methodology, we’re disrupting the very communication network of our planet . . . and we’re seeing instability of our planet now at the ecological level that we’ve never witnessed before.  We are destroying the intelligence communication of our planet through the disruption of her circuitry.

There are all these young Silicon Valley billionaires and millionaires working together to solve the problems of the planet; and the solution that one of these young guys was telling me about over drinks by the pool, in his own words was, “I’m so excited because I’ve just developed a company and we’re going into the jungles to discover the next lithium mines.”  So here are some of the most educated, most intelligent people within a country who have said: “The planet’s dying and we should all drive electric cars because carbon is the demon. Well, in that construct, the obvious solution is to go find lithium so we can all drive electric cars.

So, there is this kid running around destroying the Rain Forest to find the next lithium mine . . . so we can all have electric cars . . . so that we don’t let carbon, which is a currency for life, into the atmosphere.

So it’s by the demonization of CO2, the very matrix of life on earth, that we have come to accelerate our demise.  Our conservation message over the last three decades is that CO2 in the atmosphere is the enemy that’s causing “climate warming.”  From the beginning CO2 is the generative force of life.  Every cell breathes CO2 for energy.

There’s an old adage that humans breathe in oxygen and exhale CO2 as waste, and that plants breathe in CO2 and give off oxygen. We now know — and have known for over a hundred years — that human cells have to breathe CO2 to function, and that is proven in every cell-biology lab in the world. Everyone that wants to grow a cell of any species or multi-cellular species — dog, cat, earthworm, human — in a petri dish, knows that you have to put it in an incubator at body temperature, sealed away from the atmosphere we breathe . . . and the only gas that you have to pump into that sealed environment so that the cells can live is CO2. If you pump in oxygen, you kill the cells immediately.

Human cells do not breathe oxygen.  Human cells breathe CO2.  Oxygen’s role is to be the accelerator of the speed at which we use up the carbon; but it’s not the fuel – and it’s certainly not the driver of energy.  We need just a little bit of oxygen in our atmosphere – about 20%, which is what our current oxygen level is.  If it were 80% we would die instantly.

And this is what was happening in ICU’s.  If you put somebody on 80% oxygen through a respirator or a breathing device, you will kill them in hours. You completely run them out of CO2, and now they just die from a lack of energy.  We reached 88% mortality in the recent pandemic in ICU’s because we gave them 80% oxygen because they showed up blue . . . not from a lack of oxygen, but for a lack of their ability to cycle carbon and oxygen.  The carbon cycle was broken, so they showed up blue, and we slammed the accelerator down with oxygen and they were dead within hours; and we did that to millions of people globally. This is not new science.  It’s as old as cell biology.

None of this is revolutionary information I’m giving out to the world.  I’m just asking us to take a pause as scientists — whether biologists in the lab or planetary existentialists — we need to re-evaluate how this planet runs . . . and the answer is the same as the single human cell.  It runs on carbon and water cycles; not carbon and water, but carbon and water cycles. It’s the movement of the currency of energy on the planet that allows life to occur.

The whole idea of carbon offsets, abstract economy which is now more than 40 trillion dollars pledged in carbon offsets, is a completely abstract market that has absolutely nothing to do with how biology works.  Tragically, those trillions of dollars are being funneled into pumping CO2 out of the atmosphere and deep into the earth, where it can’t be breathed by plant or human cells.

We will set the planet’s recovery from this extinction event back millions of years [more like thousands] if we start pumping all of the CO2 out of the atmosphere and into the earth’s core where it becomes unavailable to biology. We would starve out the carbon-water cycle of all plant and animal life on earth. 

* * *

HIS POINT is well taken. However, we will never pump all of the CO2 out of the atmosphere.  Even if we could, over a considerable number of millennia, the oceans would fill the atmosphere with its balanced quota of CO2 after an extinction event. 

Just for accuracy and perspective, although oxygen is crucial for life on Earth, it is not the primary component of our atmosphere. According to education site Vision Learning Earth’s atmosphere is composed of approximately 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, 0.93 percent Argon, 0.04 percent carbon dioxide as well as trace amounts of neon, helium, methane, krypton, ozone and hydrogen and water vapor. The dominant gas Nitrogen gives us a blue sky.

The balance and ratios of atmospheric gases is, of course, vital to life on earth. Carbon dioxide plays an integral part in the greenhouse effect, the carbon cycle, photosynthesis and the oceanic carbon cycle.  The current global average concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is 421 ppm as of May 2022 (0.04%). This is an increase of 50% since the start of the Industrial Revolution, up from 280 ppm during the 10,000 years prior to the mid-18^th Century. The increase is due to human activity — which includes fossil fuel and biomass burning, cement production and deforestation.  (Wikipedia)

ELECTRIC CARS NOT THE ANSWER

To the point of electric vehicles as a solution to climate warming: automobiles contribute less than 30% of the CO2 atmospheric burden.  The major contributors are air and rail travel, as well as shipping. Then there’s Industry’s considerable contribution.  An editorial in our local newspaper recently put things in perspective: “Electric vehicles should be considered a nice, promising addition to the variety of the car market not a quasi-holy obligation to be pursued at all costs.”

Again, to the issue of electric vehicles and other battery operated equipment like computers and cell phones: the mining of lithium, copper, and cobalt uses a lot of energy and water and creates a highly toxic spillover into the environment, and especially onto the sacred soil, poisoning rivers and lakes with cancer-causing chemicals. So, let’s get realistic in our thinking about solutions to climate change. The mining of lithium and cobalt along with the amount of coal-generated energy just in manufacturing the batteries for wind turbines, and Tesla and a host of other electric cars, is counterproductive in reducing atmospheric pollution and warming. Let’s get real and “Wake the Fake up!”

We may take some comfort in the awareness that the Creator is in touch with and in charge of His/Her Creation, and say glibly “All is well.” But the bottom line is WE NEED TO CHANGE the way we live on this planet.

The psalmist was right: “The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein. For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods”— and it awaits our caring hands, and our loving and conscious stewardship.

Until my next post . . .

Be love. Be loved
