Teachings |
Aboriginal beliefs and most Eastern religions view the earth/soil, the air, the water, and the sun/fire as an integral part of Creation, and therefore, Sacred. The process of photosynthesis is dependent upon the balance found between the elements. The truth - the laws of nature, are dependent on this balance, as are all other life forms which we share Creation with. If this balance is upset and the elements no longer work interdependently and in harmony, the laws of nature which have governed our planet to date, will cease to apply. Instead, we will be governed by the laws of mankind, and the pollution we have caused. Unless we rectify this imbalance, we may experience the full power of earth elements as that work on an individual basis. An example being the unprecedented fury of the hurricane (element of air) recently experienced in the Honduras. That is why we must come together as one nation, put aside our individual ambitions, and do whatever is in our power to do, in order to rectify this situation, before we cause irreversible damage to our Mother Earth. |
