I AM EARTH

                 I AM EARTH

 Introduction


Let me introduce myself.  You encounter me on a daily basis, but I find it necessary at this time that you get to know me deeply and respectfully. Not all of me at once, but just on a larger and more relatable scale than you have been willing to in general attempt.  Your survival depends upon it.  Hopefully I have now engaged your full attention.

I am very old, ancient.  My age is about 4 billion years and since your age is less than about 100,000 years,  you must admit that  I have incurred wisdom far greater and deeper than yours.  Your scientists who study me at great depth for understanding and to know the Truth of me are the greatest allies of the human family.  The dedicated scientists as opposed to those digging for recognition and dollars to promote their projects and therefore themselves are not particularly your friend or mine. The hallmark of my being is change, and I will decide whether to move towards another ice age or grow warmer, not your pseudo-scientists and celebrity promotors and politicians.  But just a hint:  your numbers are growing and crowding out other species, you have wars and out of control commerce and technology, so common sense and a slight bit of introspection can put two and two together.

My history is vast, interesting and dynamic.  I have evolved slowly over the eons of time since I was known as “primordial soup”.    The one important lesson for the human mind to grasp is that change is the only constant.  You can learn from me alone, as I hold all the answers you may seek, though few get beyond ego to truly seek.  As yourself, an ordinary person,  where would you be without the few extraordinary who seek, discover, contribute, and invent?  Most of you are ordinary.  Don’t take it personally.

The cataclysm of events that was the start of me, you can compare in your smaller mind to the egg and sperm that joined up and started you..though complex as you are, especially the marvel of your mostly unused brain, I am more complex, storied and ancient.  As you learn about your own beginnings, don’t leave me out as I am the true Mother of your being.  My mysteries and wisdom go far deeper and beyond what any human, even the most dedicated among you can uncover in a lifetime.  I hold the answers.  You hold the questions.  Don’t take it personally.

If my age can be compared to one year, your age can be compared to a minute before midnight on December 31st.  Humility is my essence.  I do what I do. am what I am,  for what reason I am not sure; whether it be random or of Divine cause is not my discipline.  The discipline of inquiry is your challenge, a challenge that even if you as an individual do not take seriously, a few do, and will generously pass on the information;  much of which smaller minds will dispute in ignorance and ego, then finally following along  accept as the machine of True knowledge grinds forward.

And knowledge does grind forward in the human mind, though not as a glacier would, shaping and controlling all in its path,  but moving ahead and then backward through ignorance of forgetting history and repeating it.  I never do that. I move forward with the Universe and atmosphere and a sense of the Infinite, creating as I go and learning from my mistakes quickly, fomenting miracles as I progress.  I don’t fall in despair at my error or challenges. My essence is working toward solutions. This is a great lesson.  I am brave, conservative, truthful, vibrant, beautiful in my cause.  You can learn so much from me, and as a race of humans, you have.  But in your midst, you have allowed tyranny, cruelty, sloth, greed, among the many misfortunes that your brain gets lost in.  I don’t do this.  I have no ego, just  a rule book instructing blind progress and vast determination according to a seeming mysterious plan.  I don’t do drugs, lie, blame, exploit, murder, gossip or deceive for my own singular purpose and aggrandizement.  I am Earth.  Get to know me and don’t take your own shortcomings personally.  Just use me as an example and work through them.  Grow and know that I offer lessons for you to gain from.

TIMELESS CHEMISTRY

I started out like you, in simple form.  I have vast patience and fortitude.  I worked through elements and molecules to formulate simple life forms.  What was before me is part of the mystery.  Where the elements formed and how are contained in the Universal Secret is always waiting for illumination. It seems to me I am being propelled by some inexplicable force, though I cannot identify it by name, I trust it as it molds me.

The living creatures evolved through and with my constant transformations. They also are moving with the force, though unconsciously and live according to instinct and DNA. One celled bacteria, fungi, crustaceans, reptiles, mammals and humans; all are forms the mysterious, dynamic, ever changing system.  Your brain is my most complex master piece and you are capable of much more than you allow yourselves.  The reason for that is you associate and listen too much to other small minds, ignoring me and the Greater Mystery.

Understand that I will do what I will do and you haven’t the power over me that you in this present day think you have.  I will have my way.  If you dishonor your home, and make life unlivable, I will survive after you have destroyed yourselves.  You listen to those who say they are interested in “loving the planet”, but your ego transcends other species while you focus on yourselves decreasing biodiversity as your numbers grow.  Your solutions tend towards one note and you listen to those who talk without knowing me.  The True agenda is greater than finite man and a finite earth.  I too have a limited life as does my energy star, the Sun.  When it dwarfs as all stars do, my existence will cease.

My letter here to you is to get your brain to thinking with inquiry and logic, rather than with the small voices you hear all around.  Look into a child’s eyes, walk on my unpaved nakedness, look up at the stars.  If you start to inquire, you will start on the larger journey of Wonder.   Then you will look for deeper answers and you must keep digging though you will never know all.  Just learn to be humble and know your smaller place in the Great Mystery.  You will then know vibrant life IS, just as I do.

THE EASY WAY TO UNDERSTAND NATURAL LAW

Natural Law must be taught to be understood.  Modern society is a plugged in society removed from Nature and its laws  and systems.  It is a society that is producing talking heads that need constantly to regurgitate unfiltered thoughts.  Most of  what is expressed has little value other than to download useless information that would best be put in the back of the brain for re-evaluation or to be dreamed out through the brain digestion process, a process similar to the way we digest our food.  We eliminate what is not needed.  Our modern society has to learn again to quiet down.

Natural Law must be taught in the educational system formulated by the state as financed by its citizens because it is true law, understood only through the study of Natural history.  The discoveries constantly delivered by true inquiry into natural science along with the discussion of philosophical mysteries it provokes to an active mind,  must be explored.

Every thing is in place for Natural Law to be taught and to be understood. How it has played in evolution and how it was studied and divined by the framers of the American Constitution, (before they had the abundant information of today) to attempt a clear guideline for a truly civil and moral society must be deeply re-explored.  It worked for a couple of hundred years as the individual was unleashed with the choice to do their best. And many did, unconsciously accepting the gift given and often taken for granted.  The Natural Right of freedom though can be easily be taken away if we do not understand its foundation and simplicity.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.   ~Ronald Reagan

With each generation, Natural Law has demonstrated increasing evidence of its foundation in reality.  The “theory” of Evolution was put forth and denied by its contemporaries.  Now hardly a theory, it is still questioned despite the mountain of evidence supporting it.  Its proponent, Charles Darwin who predicted through his genius and observations what contemporary science is now proving through technology and further research gave us one of the most understandable and visual concepts evidencing Natural Law.  Species evolve and adapt to changes and the fittest survive to live another day.  The only true governing laws come from Nature,  and Nature assures no entitlements, only the opportunity to share the elements of Source from which we have evolved. 

It is up to a society or culture educated in Natural Law to evolve consciously with respect to the reality of Nature as Source,  and to develop guided by logic and reason.  With rights come responsibilities. Entitlements are derived out of the human brain with or without consciousness, and if not tested against Natural Law theory,  chaos is the result. History and current events prove this to be true.

Those dedicated ones who uncovered the Natural Science mysteries of Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Biology and their language, Mathematics expose astounding evidence that most earth citizens have bare understanding of never mind any education in. Therefore we are programmed and seduced by politicians and pundits who ignorantly make things up and propagandize until the lie becomes the accepted truth.  It takes a willingness and a dedication to look for what is true, but if education fails here, progress becomes slow or reversed.  And this is what seems ironically to be happening though we have more opportunity to do research at the push of a search button than ever was possible.  Inquiry, putting belief to the hard test though is too difficult a task for the average mind.  More the reason why the pursuit of excellence must be programmed into a society allowing only the very lesser of us to get away with the lazy road to mediocrity.  When the majority accepts virtue as an aspiration, virtue becomes the accepted norm.

We are born of the same stuff as all of the Universe:  hydrogen carbon, nitrogen, oxygen.  We are not apart from the Universe, but a mysterious and astounding concoction of semi-perfection contained within.  A 4 billion year old earth allowed the development of humans after the last ice age and we had 10 to 20 thousand years to get it right.  And some did.  They are the minds that live on and became the keepers of the knowledge.  We must learn from them and from the clues given daily by observation and living with awareness.

The most abundant elements in the universe it is said are hydrogen and stupidity.  Humans are the only ones allowed stupidity.  They evolved a large brain, have the ability to solve complex problems, yet only a very scant few are able or willing to even think or wonder. In pure Nature, stupidity is fatal; in contrived culture it is a protected right.  Most know all the accepted answers and yet know so very little and seem contented there rather than probing for more answers, more Truth.

Back to education.  If we are taught to think and are taught fundamentally about the Natural World and what we have named science, we have our best opportunity for the Freedom that real education can bestow upon Humanity. 

These are the solutions.  We already know the problems.

When solutions are measured against Natural Law then logic and reason are partnered with the human heart, we could potentially create a paradise. Or is it that paradise is already here and it is in awareness that it is realized. Not a false utopia created out of an ignorance or a piousness for ideas pumped out pridefully from the human mind, but through a respect for real Knowledge which can only come about through study of the established foundation. The first architects, scientists, artists had only Natural Law as the guide, uncovered the secrets and passed on to the rest of humanity.  How did knowledge start without educational institutions?  By the first explorers who tuned into the real world around them.  Educational institutions are secondary to natural inquiry and have fallen in love with themselves at times along with those who believe only structured education can provide knowledge. Here is your degree. Go out into the world and trip over yourself and others doing the same.  True knowledge is a life long endeavor.

There is a logical thread that conceived the words in the preamble to out American Constitution: ‘the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God”.  Do not memorized but work to understand these few words and deep and comforting understanding can be gratefully realized.

This is the foundation of Knowledge and the key to the Freedom that seeking Truth can and desires to bestow on Mankind.  We could get it right if we go again to Source and contemplate, consider and study.  This must be incorporated into education and become the foundation of human culture and acceptance.  We must learn to honor the Truth of Natural Law foundation and let it be our Guide rather than allowing unqualified humans with elevated titles to define and devise a false system who’s tendency is self-service rather than human service and promotion of true Natural values.  If individuals were taught in the Natural Sciences and Established Natural Law and taught how to be rational and logical, they would have little trouble in discerning the difference between false promises with pretentious knowledge and real leadership demonstrated naturally from a greater mind.

Luckily, we have an example of this endeavor already and we do not need to re-invent.  The founders and the framers of the American Constitution put it all together.  They did it thoughtfully and ardently through years of process and the desire to get it right as humanly possible.  They had to. They were students of Greek philosophy, the Magna Carta, and John Locke who all spoke of advancement through Natural rights.  They just won a war they were most unlikely to win.  They thanked Providence, knowing the pitfalls of tyrannical governance, they strove to lay a foundation for future generations.

We are heading towards tyranny again, if not quite submerged in it, we are definitely entrenched.  The opportunity was bestowed upon us and our only lifeboat is through open minds willing to probe the mysteries of Natural Law, and freedom as a natural right.  Ignore deep inquiry at our peril; the dire outcome being the squandered life of bondage, subordination and sweet sounding but illogically contrived promises.

Our freedoms are taken away slowly as we continue to accept the unacceptable.  We can look at the world as much of it is today and know that there are many cultures who have submitted to the point where they cannot rise up and have little choice but to accept life in subordination to the whims of powerful and tyrannical strongmen who's only vocation is to hold on to power. 

It is the Brave who guard and keep our Freedoms, but we need more of them. As cowards take charge with their entitlement and complaining mentality and with the assistance of a media concerned too much with corporate protection, the rehash of prescribed and contrived societal correctness takes over.  We are left with a rant of babble that no one truly understands. The repetition continues until the poison kills inquiry and the lie becomes the accepted truth. We fall into place like so many in societies under the iron fist of the powerful, where escape is increasingly difficult and Freedom impossible.

When the Brave become too few to keep the Light of Freedom burning, the decent into tyranny is assured.

Only through the understanding of Natural Law and its unfolding mysteries will we have the knowledge, guidance and tools to keep developing forward as a productive society with opportunity for all who wish to seize and return that great gift.

Thousands of years of human history record struggles to break through tyranny and give ordinary people the power to create their own destiny.  Our founders understood this by respecting and acknowledging the many lessons of history and philosophy; and after miraculously defeating an established, strong and crushing opponent.  A few worked diligently to carve out a document that would assure future generations of an existence with Liberty at its core.  This document of Truth and Beauty will not likely perish, but if not studied and cherished, it will be left to future generations to resurrect it as it has proven itself to be the imprimatur of a civilized, peaceful and free society which can be offered to all who desire to honor it.

Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty.  ~Thomas Jefferson
