Dear Friends, At 06:56 AM 12/8/2002, you wrote:
Here is a Seth quote which resonates with much of what has been said on this subject so far:It was Goethe who said that the problems or weaknesses of an age exist only for the faint-hearted. Today we stand on a threshold. People like Wendell Berry, Steiner, Rodale, Pfeiffer, Albrecht, Balliett have provided humanity with incredible inspiration. To hear a swansong from Berry is sad. It is the media that oppresses the good work that is going on. Yes, the media owned by corporate scum, having their way yet again. There exists a huge movement of people caring for the Earth Mother, putting back more than they take. Somebody please tell Wendell all is as it should be. In the end the people will win. The corporate military industrial complex is dying, almost dead. The Earth will go on in a new paradigm, it will become a star in the cosmos and a model for the cosmic environment. Social-Economic- Cultural economy is waiting in the wings with the kind of ethics that will make Wendells heart swell in his chest. We will go on, the corporate economy is on its death bed...sstorch
First of all, as a race, in the context of normal usage, you have considered yourselves as apart from the rest of nature and consciousness.
Your own survival as a species was your main concern. You considered other species only in the light of their use to you. You did not have any true conception of the great sacredness of all consciousness, nor of your relationship within it. You were losing your grasp of that great truth.
In the present circumstances you are carrying that idea forward--of racial survival regardless of the consequences, the idea of changing the environment to suit your own purposes; and this has led you to a disregard of spiritual truths.
In physical reality, therefore, you are seeing the results. Now those personalities who are returning are doing so for various reasons. Some of them are drawn to physical life again because of these attitudes. They are those who in the past, in your terms, strove for physical existence without consideration for the rights of other species. They are driven to return because of their own desires.
The race must learn the value of the individual man. The race is also learning its dependence upon other species, and beginning to comprehend its part in the whole framework in physical reality.
Now: Some individuals are being reborn at this time simply to help you understand. They are forcing the issue, and forcing the crisis, for you still have time to change your ways. You are working on two main problems, but both involve the sacredness of the individual, and the individual's relationship with others and with all physically oriented consciousness.
The problem of war will sooner or later teach you that when you kill another man, basically you will end up killing yourself. The over-population problem will teach you that if you do not have a loving concern for the environment in which you dwell, it will no longer sustain you--you will not be worthy of it. You will not be destroying the planet, you see. You will not be destroying the birds or the flowers, or the grain or the animals. You will not be worthy of them, and they will be destroying you.
You have set up the problem for yourselves within the framework of your reference. You will not understand your part within the framework of nature until you actually see yourselves in danger of tearing it apart. You will not destroy consciousness. You will not annihilate the consciousness of even one leaf, but in your context, if the problem were not solved, these would fade from your experience.
The crisis is a kind of therapy, however. It is a teaching method that you have set up for yourselves because you need it. And you need it now, before your race embarks upon journeys to other physical realities. You must learn your lessons now in your own backyard before you travel to other worlds. So you have brought this upon yourself for that purpose and you will learn.

"What you think upon grows. Whatever you allow to occupy your mind you magnify in your life. Whether the subject of your thought be good or bad, the law works and the condition grows. Any subject that you keep out of your mind tends to diminish in your life, because what you do not use atrophies. The more you think of grievances, the more such trials you will continue to receive; the more you think of the good fortune you have had, the more good fortune will come to you."
