Why We Are Here

It’s becoming more and more apparent to us that we have returned to the wild life in order to deepen relationship with ourselves, with the Earth and all her children. We know this because the healing, whether intentionally sought or not, is a-happening.To each their own – and yet we are here for one another. To lend perspective. To help hear the dream guidance. To comfort. To cheer up.

Why does it happen so strongly here, away from telephones and computers and books, sugar and music? I think it has to do with need. We need to be ourselves, aware, attuned, in order to function well. We need to have open eyes, ears, and hearts. We need to have the passion to live. When we don’t – when we get wrapped up in the fear-elements of our egos, we grow uncomfortable, miserable. Healing is acknowledging the discomfort, and changing what we do, how we relate. That simple, and that hard. Some of this dysfunctional stuff has been fed for a lifetime – and changing it is quite the effort.

We are doing it day by day, dream by dream. I am starting to feel the changes in myself and in others. And I am very, very glad. We are returning to ourselves, to the Earth. Breaking the legacy of thousands of years of the pillaging and killing organizational system known as civilization. perhaps our healing helps our planet’s healing, in some way that is not yet apparent to me. I certainly hope so, because the planet is in pain – as is our own species.

To finish, a couple of dream messages I got in touch with in the past two nights:

-When I get caught up in the fears of Scarcity, I need to admit this to myself. And then look deeper and see the abundance.

-What seems like a big deal at first is not that big a deal when I gain perspective on the situation.
