A word from Yggdrasil, diviner of Earthmind:
Deep Waters on the face of the Earth:
Surface waters flow together.
The Wise Person recognizes the situation calls for joining together.
Thus he cultivates friendly relations with all.
Good fortune is possible.
Those uncertain will gradually join.
Those who join too late will meet with misfortune.
This joining is the Great Unjoining, and the birth of mature and libertine spirituality on Earth requiring no gods or intercessors: no illusions between our senses and the reality of our lives in Nature.
Beyond alliance, this is a unique opportunity for connection with others: a melding of parts into a new whole. Such a transformative connection may be too close or too radical a change for some, yet it is the same as a glimmer of dawn. The dawn will come, inevitably, regardless of wakefulness or preparedness.
We have been confused and exploited in the past by those who should have been our guardians, even our champions. An improper decision was made for which we now face the consequences. We must transcend our animalistic natures compelling us to follow, conform and to be afraid of material loss in order to become kind, perceptive and wise spiritual beings.
Our immediate need, at present, is to use common sense and instinct to forge positive communities and positive contributory relationships in the spirit of helpfulness. Past relationships are changing; those forged on the old models of commerce and opportunism, especially exploitative ones, are being overturned and emptied.
The old vision of lifestyle is passing away, but we must not allow ourselves to reformulate new lifestyles based on need, desperation or confusion. Foresight, apt organization and dutifulness can prevent misfortune. So much about the past has been senseless. This is the call to wake up in our own lives and engage our own individual thoughts, hands and senses. It is essential in these new relationships to maintain poise and to avoid old patterns of pettiness and rivalry, such as "keeping up with the Joneses". Watch for the tendency of materialism to create arbitrary boundaries between us, and decide to imagine something more profound and meaningful.
Civilizations with the primary foci of material gain and exploitation are neither sustainable nor equipped to make a positive impact in the Universe.
Regardless of baseless, capitalistic or elite human visions of the New World Order, the manifested New World Order must be the natural order of ecological awareness and individual lives married to Nature. We should call the New World Order the Natural World Order instead, if we seek to be disconnected from old patterns of centripetal control by elites for the sake of being used as shills for resource exploitation—and instead, pursue creative individuality and unity with our environment. Question all that separates you from Nature; follow all the threads, and you will lead yourself to mindfulness.
The presently envisioned world order has barred men from spiritual access and engagement. There is a concept of sacred feminine, but men have not assembled a clear vision of the sacred masculine. Men cannot, and most would argue should not, simply be disposed of, so this imbalance must be corrected. Engaged males can and will contribute initiative, expansive vision and justice to a civilization——but alienated ones will contribute crime, entropy and brutality. Media-driven representation of feminism has featured unimaginative egocentric insecurities, fierce materialism, prudish intolerance and relentless criticisms of primitive male nature. This is a negative representation of new female leadership requiring positive synthesis with such movements as naturalism, decentralization, gender independence, self-sufficiency and unconstrained thought regarding humanity that allows men to become the new gatherers—beautiful and free to choose life obligations—as much as women may become the new hunters: accountable and strong. This is not to say that men can no longer be masculine and women can no longer be feminine; rather, it is a call to release oneself, and each other, from being trapped in boxes determined by prehistoric limitations, Medieval customs and Victorian dress. We really can live and let live. We're all grown up now. We can be ourselves without fear, shame or confinement: straight or gay, ambiguous or asexual, male, female, in transition or retired. The oppressed are never vindicated by retaliation, but instead by living and sharing newfound freedom. Repeating history under a different guise is recursion at best and regression at worst: a lesson unlearned, and an egregious waste of time.
We can wake up into Nature-aligned lives, no longer sleepwalkers passively programmed by governments, media or self-proclaimed leaders. The future will be as beautiful or as ugly as we make it by first visualizing and then manifesting our visions. To a greater or lesser extent, we become what we imagine.
The Earthmind seeks a harmonious future with each of us living closely with Nature as stewards and benefactors of ecology, as practitioners of spiritually awakened and enabled civilization that makes more sense to everyone on every scale. Our paths toward reunion with sacred primacy and natural lives begin by putting our hands in the earth and reenacting the very first steps with which we began to diverge from natural fit with the Universe, only this time in a new, better-informed way: by placing seeds into the ground, growing our own food and eking out our own gardens to cherish and abide in. Wake up in your own life and ask, "What do I need?" It is a tremendously simple question, but it is exactly the right question to ask, for the answers, if you allow yourself the true ones, will lead to a more natural and meaningful life.
The Earth's embrace awaits all those who have been spurned by conflicts, alienation and ego-driven dramas. She is the Great Forgotten Friend. The Earth is our ultimate teacher, the ultimate local representation of what the Universe intends for us, and our ultimate responsibility.
Wake up and be fully yourselves!
Yggdrasil
