Find the real center of the natural harmony
admin December 28th, 2008
How much time did it take for human beings, descendants of monkeys but with an advanced intellectual potential, after making their appearance on Earth and wondering at the mysteries of the stars, Moon, and Sun, to realize they were not at the center of the known cosmos? In the beginning, it was probably humiliating and absolutely terrifying to relinquish the notion that the universe revolved around them. But now, it is evidence of the maturity of human awareness. Now it’s time to once again present evidence for our continuing growth. We need another Copernican Revolution in the collective human consciousness. What we need now is to realize that humanity is not the center of Earth and to find the real center of the natural harmony. That center of harmony is the Earth, not human beings.
Sir Ilchi Lee writes that the central standard of value for our life here on Earth should be Earth Herself, not our egos, needs, wants, and prejudices. We can use Earth as the standard by which to judge all actions on Earth. From such a point of view, we all become Earth-Humans first, before we are a part of a group, nation, or religion.
If there were no Earth, then no altars could exist for you to worship your god. You wouldn’t exist, nor your god. Without Earth, no nation would exist, nor would political ideologies with which to rule a nation. With eternal hope, we may eventually all learn to recover the zero point and become one with the cosmic consciousness. However, before that happens, it is more crucial that we attain an Earth consciousness. To do so, we need to overcome the group egotism that binds us, knowingly or unknowingly. All our choices and actions should be judged by the effects they have on Earth. All our choices should be geared to empty the scale of Earth and return it to zero. That is the reward and the responsibility of our choices. From zero to zero—this is the expression of the grand cycle of the cosmos.
