divinity of All...a snapshot.

I have a greater recognition of the divinity in All; Us, Nature, Earth, Universe as consciousness and it brings tears to my eyes.

How can we evolve as a consciousness when we cannot see the wonder and the beauty around us?…to feel Earth as our home, know our bodies as our home with sense-certainty?My heart hurst to see the abuse we are heaping upon All. I feel that when we take care of Nature, Earth, Universe, and allow everything to have its place in balance and harmony, then our health and the health of all, will be reflected as harmony and balance.

The root word of Health is the same as for Wholeness and from this we get Holy. The Taoists recognize health through the integration of heaven and earth as harmony of all. As a society, we are far from this state of being.

We have chemically made our lives artificial. We have basically stripped away our delicate sense-certainty in every area of living. For example; when we are eating from nature in a balanced manner with clean food, air and water then our hormonal output is balanced. This means that we will have our natural scent being produced from the hair follicles on our bodies. This is the natural order…and odour.

Our false self is presented to the world. It is external and synthesized. This is a mind at war with itself. There is not a lot of truth to be had at the moment. Just take one sense such as the sense of smell. First we remove a lot, if not all body hair and then we apply a lot of chemicals to camouflage our natural scent. We use highly scented soaps, shampoos, creams, toothpastes, mouthwash, deodorants, colognes, perfumes before we leave the bathroom in the morning. What we are presenting to the world is a false self that has been manipulated to appear smooth. How can we know the “real” person when our senses are confused? Internally and externally for ourself and others?

I am not saying we have to revert to being unwashed, unkempt by any means. I am asking us to think and become more aware of what we are doing. Why do we have to use all these chemicals to begin with? If we are eating clean food, drinking unpolluted water and breathing clean air as possible, then our natural body odour is not offensive. The moment we put a foreign chemical into our body, we have polluted it and set the stage for inflammation of the cells. This in turn is another stage setting for shorter lifespan, disease and more chemical toxicity. We are absorbing these very chemicals into our bodies not only through our nose, mouth, eyes but also through our skin. These “toiletry” chemicals are foreign to our design and this is before we leave the house in the morning…for some of us.

When in this state, we are challenged to evolve our consciousness and live in health. We have a choice. It would behoove us to be mindful and realize that we are all connected which means what one person does impacts others. How we treat ourself, our family, friends, colleagues, all has an effect on Nature, Earth and Universe and the health of All.
