Earth Day Reminder to Claim Abundance

People everywhere are celebrating the Earth today. If you want to contemplate your divine nature — that is to find the goddess, or God, or convene with the Spirit as described in various ways across cultures and traditions — consider going outside to say hello to a tree or talk to some plants, while keeping in mind the following points:

• The Sun gets its energy because of its creation as a star in our Universe. We have observed and theorized about the origin of Stars and so far the evidence shows that Stars are wondrous.
• The energy from the Sun streams through space and especially in the form of light provides energy to the trees and plants.  The plants take sunlight and convert it through photosynthesis into substances — oxygen, water, sugars, fiber — without which there would be no life as we know it on Earth. To find God here, know that after thousands of years of modern science, we still have not cracked photosynthesis and all we can say regards the conclusive big picture is that photosynthesis and what plants do is  through mysterious, miraculous, and Divine processes. This is direct evidence. Is there any additional proof needed?
• Take time to pause for a deep breath. You will have just, explicitly in this focus, taken in oxygen from the plants, which is energy from the Universe, from the Sun, that has been converted from one form (sunlight) into another. This energy is a life force - without it, life as we know it would not exist.
• Remember that as each other breathes, we are taking in the same substance - the same life supporting energy - that drives the spark of Divine life we share, that same life force which started in us when our parents united to procreate. We are connecting to the Universe and since everyone is doing it, since everyone is connected to the Sun and through and beyond that to the Universe, by extension we are connected and connecting to each other. Take a breath and find God in that - it is miraculous to consider.

Divine energy is in us, of us, about us, and around us. We are all connected to each other, whether considering that we are human because of the DNA of our species or observing the patterns in Nature (such as the imagery of our connectedness through breathing or propagation of a life force that is the same through billions of people). This is the miracle of Mother Nature and Earth Day is a great time to pause and consider this.

Humans are of the Earth and of each other. We are inextricably linked to form a global family, seen in infinite  patterns that prove we are all the same while we simultaneously exists as unique individuals expressing thousands of shared characteristics (such as eyes for seeing) that are expressed in spectrums (dark brown, hazel, gray, green, blue, golden, and other individual beautiful colors) as we adapt to our place on Earth and the people and environments around us.

On Earth Day, let us celebrate our connections to the Earth and each other!

Finally, let us pause to consider a serious and central point of Earth Day as well - that the Architecture of Fear, which has led to massive pollution and imbalance, is not sustainable and is not right for a magnificent planet. The Earth is abundant. Earth Day is a chance to remind ourselves that the Architecture of Abundance is all about people coming together to protect the Earth and creating a world of unity and prosperity befitting of the glory revealed within.

Happy Earth Day, everyone!
