Sacred Earth
This is part of the story of separation, how matter and spirit became separate, and finally how life on Earth became exile, our spiritual home reached only after death. And it is true that there is this dimension of pure light and love to which we return after death, but it is also present here, hidden in the world around us, and in our own soul in each and every breath. Banishing the Divine to heaven was a denial of our deepest earth wisdom, a painful censorship of our memory of when we walked together with the Divine in this world. That is why a simple awareness of these moments of pure presence, whether held in the beauty of a sunrise, or watching a hummingbird drinking nectar, or in the simple act of breathing, is so healing. Once again we know the Earth as our sacred home.
And now our whole planet stands at the doorway between the worlds, the outer world that we are systematically poisoning and the inner world of the soul and the world soul, whose existence we have forgotten. As mediator between the worlds our human presence and practice are a vital life force; our awareness of breath and its spiritual dimension is healing both for our individual self and the world around us. At this pivotal moment in our shared destiny the world of light needs to be consciously connected to the physical world, and we are this connection.”
