The living earth

Shamans have always known that the whole earth is alive. But not just with it’s little plants and animals but this includes rocks, hills, rivers and the very air you breathe!

It’s all one whole organism that everything, including us humans, are naturally included to. From a biologists viewpoint it could be thought of as if you looked at a drop of water through a microscope. Then you could easily point out the little microorganisms and various stuff floating around in there. But it only appears separated when looked at from a close perspective, for instance through a microscope. If you stood back you would just experience a drop of water wouldn’t you?

The shift of consciousness and perception is what it is all about. You experience the whole living earth as one being that you yourself is included in, by stepping back and shifting focus.
Not surprisingly, much unnecessary suffering arise because we lack the understanding of this idea. We have simply trained ourselves under thousands of years to view the world in a certain way. And now we must un-train ourselves and see the world like it really is. As a Whole.

    Beautifully put. All we need is a shift in consciousness to see it as it really is. :-)
