Its very visible in rural areas especially. everything is advancing, changing, evolving, but I fear as the human population gets out of control, we may ruin what the earth has given to us. everspring, you sound slightly troubled, I believe that life is being able to move forward, to grow, to dream, to feel. I believe the earth is alive because it changes and it reacts to the things that affects it. It is too right !

everspring,

you sound slightly troubled, I believe that life is being able to move forward, to grow, to dream, to feel. I believe the earth is alive because it changes and it reacts to the things that affects it.

We forget the importance of life, and how all the things around us are living. Here's a simple example, how many of us, randomly squash an ant if we see one? although they are little, and can be annoying is that reason enough to just kill them? Or even littering, do all of us always throw or rubbish in the bin or do we happen to conveniently mistakenly 'drop' it on the floor? From the littlest to the biggest things, we need to start talking care of the earth like it is apart of us, because sooner or later we all going to end up planetless if we don't. Thank you for being Yajna Dearest Paulo and friends,

That is so pessimistic.
:-(

what the heck is spirituality & spiritualization

i am having a major attack from the devil.
either that or i am having an attack on me.

conviction is not the same as condemnation. you can be convicted of something but it doesn’t mean you are condemned. to be alive is to be able to Energize. pick yourself up. take a stand make a choice choose. have faith and trust. and enjoy working.

In the book "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson (which is one of the most interesting books I read last year) there is a compasion of the history of the earth with human history: When you spread your arms as wide as you can and this were the time of the existence of our planet, the exitance of mankind is as long as your fingernail is broad. Furthermore it is to expect, that in a million years there will be no more trace at all of man on erath. Thinking about this, I imagine a dialog between the earth, the sun and the moon happening in a million years: Sun: "Hello earth, how are you doing today?" Earth: "Thank you, very much better than last week, when I had this allergy all over my body caused by beings that called themself human. It was really terrible how they were treating me. And worst of all they were believing all the time of their short existence, that they were the center of the universe. Can you imagine?" Moon:"Unbelievable ignorant. They were really mad -think about, they also made plans to live on my suface and wanted to disturb my calm." Sun: "In the end they went the way of every species under me and faded away." Earth (sighing and looking worried): "What will be with the moon and me when you will fade away some day? Sun: "How should I know? I am only a little sun on the edge of an unimportant milky way? My mind is too simple to know the plans of our creator." I love the thought of the earth as a being with a soul.
