Medicine For Your Spirit

It takes  a hell of a lot to get me cranky but this morning, not only did I choose to be cranky, I got totally annoyed to the point of being pinged off…

I walk every morning, well most mornings, along the river or beach and every time, I choose, and I do choose to, pick up any rubbish that I see lying around. I have taken a level of self-responsibility and instead of complaining and whinging about the state of the world, I am actively engaging in doing what I can in my little part of it. This morning, on my walk a car whizzed past me and tossed an empty can and an empty packet of chips out the window……..I was totally gobsmacked, in the midst of the disasters that the earth is gifting us with, to have people so ignorant that they are still expecting  ‘someone’ else to pick up after them. Or perhaps they really don’t care

When any one of us has given all that we can and in return have been ignored, devalued, abused, defiled, and disregarded, we have every right to feel that “enough is enough”. The earth mother is telling us that right now.

I don’t believe she is enraged, or  angry, as they are human emotions, However I do believe that she is shaking us to say WAKE UP….She has given us many gentle taps, reminders and wisdoms passed through the ages, and now, the time to stand up for herself and for us to stand up for her is here. That is all she has asked of us, to respect, stand up for her and to honour all that she has provided for us.

The snooze button on the alarm clock can’t be activated anymore; the alarm bells are ringing loudly. It is up to us now to wake the rest of humanity up.

Our society and world at large HAS TO WAKE UP NOW……..we have been dumbed down over the years through the media and the way they interpret the news, the ‘real life’ shows, the barrage of images of 'perfect" human bodies, the papers that repost only what they think we should know, often keeping facts hidden, often doing deals to sell stories, keeping truth out of the big picture, belittling those who dare to speak it.

 Over time the medical and pharmaceutical world have created the belief that we cannot heal ourselves unless we are pumped full of chemicals in the form of drugs. The anti-depressants are dumbing and numbing us to a state of not caring. 

Yes the medical world is fabulous at diagnosing illness and dis-ease, however, the human body and the human mind is extraordinary in what it can achieve when given the power to. We have been disempowered with our health, Yes we live longer, but at what cost. The pharmaceutical  companies are raking in billions with the amount of drugs that keep people alive and sick, not to mention the amounts of surgeries done on people in their later years that really are unnecessary…and what are all these chemicals doing to the earth let alone our humanity.

The antiquated education system has been boxing children into ways of being, so their creativity is squashed, and the subjects they are told they have to learn, often really don’t sustain us in life as it is evolving now.

The banking system is not about the helping people to save for their dreams or create the life they envisage; it is all about return of investments for their stockholders and creating more wealth for the institutions

The political system……what a joke, we all know the politicians use lies and bent truths to achieve their seats, and to stay in power. Once they hold office, they happily and with complete disregard for the people who have trusted and voted for them, do what they want.

Then we look at how we have treated the planet, the greed that has been obvious, the drilling, the taking of minerals and ore beyond what is acceptable or needed, the stockpiling of oil, the wars created to OWN the resources, or to have the rights to own them.  All the nuclear testing done off French Polynesian islands and other places that went deep into the earth, the pollution we have injected into the atmosphere, the chemicals that we spray over crops and food that we eat, the genetic engineering that has been happening all over the planet to create grains that grow faster, produce more yield, are more resistant to pests, yet the allergy rates to theses ‘common’ staples around the world have reached epidemic proportions.

Our rates for infertility are through the roof, once again creating a money making industry for the medical world, and the clinics supporting these 'breakthroughs in fertility", are making it all seem normal.
 
The completely obscene way of slaughtering  whales, for scientific research, the harvesting of dolphins, the clubbing of baby seals purely for the purity of their fur, the animals used in laboratories for product testing. We look at the number of animal species that have left our planet, now totally extinct, the illegal hunting of wildlife around the world described as sport, the disgusting way we dump household pets that once loved us because they have become too hard, too expensive or too problematic.

As a mother, if I saw a child of mine doing all of this, it would break me…….the earth is our mother, she has gifted us with a paradise to live in, and  through greed, ego, violence, lack of self-control and self discipline by us in general,  she has been brought to her knees.

Any parent would want to shake their child to wake them up…….Any parent who loved their child unconditionally would, by this stage exercise tough love……..

What more can she, our earth, our home do?…..As a mother I want to see my kids excel, I want to see them love what they have, appreciate what has been put in place, to share, to look after another, to respect the life that pulses on their planet.. whether it walks on 2 legs, 4 legs, swims, flies, crawls or grows in the earth, we teach them not to be greedy, that there is always enough, we just have to take a small portion and leave the rest for others who come after us.

When we see our children fighting, we try to teach them about getting along with each other, to see the others point of view…………so why do we have WARS

When we see our children being bullies or picking on others we try to explain that we need to be kind, we need to embrace others, no matter how different they appear………..so why do we have racial bias, bigotry and hatred

We teach our children to share,..... so why do we have thieving, greed and possessiveness, control, and crime

We love our children and offer that in many ways… so how do they become full of hatred,

We teach our children about respect… so why do we have violence, pollution, gaols bursting at the seams

Maybe I live in a Pollyanna world……….I choose to think good of all situations, I want to see others excel and shine, I want to share from my heart, I want to live in harmony with my neighbours, humanity and the earth.

I choose to hold my light and visions of a world that is possible, a world that we are being given the chance to create NOW. I am choosing to see the positivity and align with the earth and the cycle she is going through. I choose compassion for those who are suffering and on some level, even if we haven’t fully understood it, we are feeling the pain and frustration of this world. I choose to respect the land I walk on every day, the ancestors gone before me and the generations to come.

Change is here, we are in it right now, and the earth is not finished, there is more to come. All we can do is stay focused on what we can do and choose to do in our part of this world, how we can offer hope, healing, light and prayers to the whole planet, all the inhabitants, and all of life. We have to find that point of balance in ourselves and keep that space. We need to allow others to be in their own journey and accept that only we can change what is happeningand how we feel and respond in ourselves.

We must stay positive, find the highest thought, the most loving feeling , the more compassionate way to understand the changes in any given moment. We have to be absolutely true to our hearts wisdom and truth and bring that into our world. If each of us choose to do those few things for ourselves, the world will change all around us. The ancients and prophets spoke of this, the indigenous cultures speak of this, and now we cannot deny what we have been guided to embrace, we just have to begin it, right now.

How we think today, is creating the world we live in tomorrow. The prophecies of the ancients are staring us in the face, we have to choose how we want to move through all of this. To be conscious of every thought, every feeling, to keep choosing something more positive no matter how dark things seem to be is all we can do. We are the ones we have been waiting for, we are the ones to lead this world into a new way of being, we just have to get everyone to awaken in these times and it starts with each of us, NOW.
