The Sacred Land's Wisdom

Ancestral peoples believed that the land itself contained deep wisdom that could be accessed and passed on by respectful, attentive human beings. My own experience is that today the land, creatures, and plants, as well as the spiritual beings of Nature, are more interested than ever in communicating with us if we slow down and listen. I’m working on perfecting my listening skills, and I hope you are too!

Sacred Heart, Sacred Earth

December 8, 2020 by Fowler

The heart is sacred. Gaia’s lands and waters and plants and creatures are sacred. We are sacred. All existence on all dimensions shares a connection with the sacred, vital life of Mother Earth, of Gaia. This truth is deeply embedded in our hearts.

The heart has many levels. It is, of course, a crucial physical organ that pumps blood around our body. On the spiritual level, the heart chakra, typically considered to be green, is our energetic center; it harmonizes and anchors our non-material essence as a dynamic, vibrating network of light.

Our Thirst for Gaia

A week ago Sunday, I drove a ways up into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near my house. I stopped by a normally rushing mountain stream, now down to a tiny trickle, and hiked up from the dusty jeep road into the parched forest. I could feel how the land up here is so thirsty, so dry, prostrate from relentless heat and no rain. I sat on a rock for a while, and here is what the land communicated to me:

Yes, the land here and now is thirsty. But every human is thirsty, always. Even the humans in places where they are getting flooded, getting drowned, their houses and cars swept away, even they’re thirsty. Everyone is thirsty for they don’t know what. It’s the connection with Gaia that they thirst for. It’s to know themselves as part of, as lush and full and connected, not arid, removed and separate. This is the worst thirst, and it can’t be quenched any other way than to leave your allegiance to the human-centered world and come back to Gaia. [Read more…] about Our Thirst for Gaia
