Our Connection to Mother Earth

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer”.—Thich Nhat Hanh

The vast majority of us have souls that have lived in bodies on different planets, i.e. – we have come from different star systems. One thing we all have in common is that we are now living together on planet Earth. In this month’s topic, we want to explore our relationship with Mother Earth, why we are here, what she does for us, why it is important to look after her, and how we can improve our relationship with the beautiful physical and metaphysical planet/body that circles the sun once a year. Part of our spiritual journey is understanding why we are right here, right now, in a physical body alive on Mother Earth. This is a key aspect of understanding our spiritual journey.   

For as long as we are physically incarnated, we have a relationship with Mother Earth. When we recognise, appreciate, and nurture this connection, we feel grounded, connected, and more confident in our place in life.

We are intrinsically connected to Mother Earth and all her living beings, including the trees, bodies of water, animals, and elementals.

Our physical bodies are made of stardust and earth and return as such—ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Our elements come from the earth, from what we eat, drink, and breathe.

Trees breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Humans breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, which trees use in their trunks and roots to grow. This is just one example of the symbiotic relationships we have, which show that we are not simply connected to nature; we are nature.

Wat is die Maandelikse Geestelike Onderwerpe (MGO)?

Ons skep elke maand nuwe geestelike onderwerpe. Koördineerders gebruik hierdie onderwerpe om besprekings te fasiliteer en lede die geleentheid te gee om oor werklike situasies te praat en insigte, idees en strategieë te deel. Die geestelike onderwerpe word op CC se interne sosiale verbindingsplatform geplaas waar lede van regoor die wêreld in gesprek tree en persoonlike gedagtes deel. Hierdie onderwerpe is ontwerp om besprekingspunte rondom selfbewustheid en geestelike ontwikkeling te gee om elkeen van hulle in staat te stel en bemagtig ons om die beste weergawe van wie ons is te word!

Doelwitte van die MST's

Ons is almal op 'n unieke reis om te groei en groter betekenis, doel en vreugde in die lewe te vind. Om dit te doen verg 'n diep fokus op jou innerlike self. Soos die 13de-eeuse Persiese digter, Rumi, gesê het: "Alles in die heelal is binne jou. Vra alles van jouself."

Ten einde dit te bereik, is die Maandelikse Geestelike Onderwerpe ontwerp om lede te help:

  • Jouself beter leer ken (selfrealisasie)
  • Verbind met hulle innerlike wysheid
  • Ontwikkel bewuste fokus en bedoeling.
  • Leef vanuit ’n hartgesentreerde ruimte.
  • Toon deernis en wees in diens van almal
  • Belyn met hul Hoër/Goddelike Self
  • Manifesteer positiewe verandering vir hulself en die kollektief

Doelwitte van die MST's

Die Maandelikse Geestelike Onderwerp-proses is geskep om twee primêre doelwitte te dien: Om geestelike dialoog en opvoeding aan lede te bied en om Koördineerders van relevante onderwerpe te voorsien materiaal om boeiende ledebesprekings te fasiliteer. Dit bespaar tyd vir Koördineerders wat dit nie meer nodig het om na onderwerpe te soek en materiaal te vind om aan te bied nie. Dit gee ook Koördineerders die geleentheid om hul fasiliteringsvaardighede te bevorder.
