Unfortunately for the species and ecosystems of planet earth there is a wave of inertia called recorded human history that is sweeping us all towards annihilation.  It started about 10 000 years ago when humans transitioned from a hunter/gatherer species working and in balance with the other natural systems to one that depended on agriculture for survival.  Humans started trying to dominate nature rather than work with her.  Since then there has been a need to defend, fight, and slave, in order to maintain and accumulate a perceived need for more and more resources.  Today, this need has mushroomed into an array of variations.  From a culture that says what you own is more important than what you do.  To governments murdering innocent people everyday in the name of security or freedom.  To the multiple forms of advertising that bombard the average person daily telling them they are not good enough they way they are.  When an observer looks at all the ways that we are destroying our habitat and the seemingly overwhelming resistance to change at every step of the way, one can become washed away in hopelessness.

Fortunately for the species and ecosystems of the planet earth, we all have a higher self that knows that the current culture is unsustainable and unnatural.  This self has much more history and inertia behind it.  From the millions of years humans lived within its small niche in the world’s ecosystem.  To the billions of years that life worked in harmony to create the multitude of species we see (and are killing rapidly) today.  We all hear the call from our higher self, some experience it as a soft whisper barely detectable and others as a constant roar throughout their lives.  Some experience it as a longing for something they can’t quite put their finger on.  Some as a feeling of emptiness that they are looking to fill.  Others experience it as a repulsion for their culture and a deep seated desire to distance oneself from it.  All of these urges are messages from the higher self that we need to go back into harmony with the rest of the earth and re-create the balance that was once there.  How we translate and interpret these urges are of utmost importance.  Meditation, creating a quiet space where the higher self can be more easily heard, has helped me personally.  However, I am sure there are countless ways one can interpret the desire of the higher self and put them into action.  However, action is the key, we can not continue to suppress the desire of the higher self with materialism, religion, detrimental substances, or ignorance.  We must become a vessel for the higher self to flow through OR allow the change impeding inertial of the last 10 000 years to push us right off the cliff.

Peace and Love
