The book I’m reading (see previous blog post) is bringing me back to my awareness of the greatness and aliveness of this planet, and how we need to accept our place within her. We are not outside of Earth, we’re in her, like microbes in a body, and we have a role to play and it’s time we started playing it. Or perhaps, we need to accept that we ARE playing it, whatever we might think is happening, but in any case, to stop trying to detach, separate, elevate ourselves above and outside our matrix. We are of Earth, made of Earth, and we depend on her for everything. Everything.

All that we believe, think, understand, perceive comes to us through the medium of our senses, emotions, neuronal synapses firing. It’s all her. That doesn’t mean it’s not transcendent and spiritual. But it’s through her that we are that, too. Our transcendence is only possible because we are a part of her. As great, spiritual and amazing as we might be, she is more so, and she is what makes it possible.

In other words, we need to freakin’ get OVER ourselves and get inside the planet. And stop thinking of it, as her, as a buncha rock, wood and stuff. There. That’s my preach.
