Reverence for Earth

The mystical essence of awakening into the Divine Feminine is the radical re-orientation from the image of "God" as an old man in the sky with long flowing white hair and beard -- otherwise known as the theory of duality -- into the even more ancient remembrance of the Universe and the Earth, as Mother... with the resultant surety that the essence of divinity is present in every single thing. The non-duality of the Divine Feminine is perhaps the most important foundational spirituality necessary for the saving of this precious blue Planet and all the life that it sustains. In essence, the mystic principle of non-duality is the stunning realization that there is "Only One Reality" -- more intimate within us and with everything than the blood that flows within our bodies -- or the atoms that give structure to matter: and further, that "that" Only One is the "One Love Consciousness": neither masculine nor feminine alone, but "something / one" entirely different: manifesting as "Mother" birthing all creation within every breath through the "will" of the Seed of the "Father". But again: "Not Two, Only One" for this is a mystery experienced in the heart, not in the mind, which naturally seeks to understand through separation... 

If you approach reality through the appearance of separation then that essential perspective of duality will influence every aspect of your life: God -- Self, Good -- Bad, Beautiful -- Ugly, Useful -- Expendable, Worthy -- Unworthy, Saved -- Unsaved... and on and on: a useful practice, but no more to the point than teen-age rebellion to establish one's possible, or momentarily preferred, self-identity. One sees this played out in every possible way in politics, in religion, in economics, in culture. and in every single social institution: "division" is practiced as theology, and has been for thousands of years, with practical ramifications for all and every society. But the ancients, before the advent of the Dominator Paradigm, tended instead to witness creation and life from the deeper wisdom of Unity, of Oneness: the Mother in-filled everyone and all creation with a pan-sacramental relationship with "things" and "life", differentiating only to the degree necessary for elemental communication: the Divine does not "begin" at some "point" as if from the "outside", but exists in each and every existent... The wisdom of the Divine Feminine is this: everything is pervaded by the Divine: not as in "I" -- "Thou": but instead as, "Only One" -- "One Love"...

This liberated feminine perspective is essential for true reverence for the Earth. Only true reverence will be capable of altering the fouling powers of the Dominator Paradigm which asserts that "heaven" is "up there" and so we are officially authorized to exploit and oppress this Earth to our mind's addictive delight. Only the realization that this precious blue Planet is Alive as our Mother and always worthy of veneration and our just stewardship will usher in a new era of reconciliation with Nature, with one another, and with the deepest yearnings of every human heart: the transcendent and the imminent are One... and that One is present in the Love that we will to unleash from our hearts...  

Enlivened by the One Love Consciousness of the Divine Feminine, we awaken into the illuminating perspective of every so-called mundane activity having within it the seeds of the Divine: the Earth and every life that it sustains is holy: we may, through the practice of reverence, adoration, justice, care, and compassion directly experience the Sophia, the Wisdom, of the Divine... and fulfill our destiny of re-creating the Garden of Eternal Delight about this entire precious blue Planet...
