I challenge any scientist, educator, business person, celebrity, politician, astrologer, physicist - anyone actually - to explain to me how life can work for life itself - for every human being and the earth - without each of us placing conditions on our expression and demands.
In the Spirit of the Times, God, Life and Mother Earth Identify their Abusers
We have described the suffering our world has recently experienced as unprecedented.
And there is a good reason life has found itself in this position.
That reason being, of course, our abuse of life has been unprecedented.
Through the philosophy of conditional expression, God – or life – reached out. And he did so because the extent of the suffering we were inflicting upon him was no longer manageable.
God’s own collapse was imminent, and he hoped to avoid it.
His request?
Which is the request of life.
‘Please put conditions on your expression and demands so that who you are is supportive of me. Instead of harmful and abusive.’
It was no different to the instructions and guidelines handed down throughout history through stories such as Adam and Eve – do not abuse me just because you can as you will seriously mess up this world – and through the first commandment – ‘Honour no other God before me!’
Meaning, ‘Don’t value or prioritise anything above keeping me – life - healthy. Not fame, economics or business. Nor any desire you might have to be impactful and inspiring or to leave a legacy.’
Conditional expression just made these instructions real. It gave them clarity and simplicity.
‘Do not be abusive to life because when you are, life suffers. It must.’
And, of course, the only way one can avoid being unnecessarily harmful to our world is to live with conditional expression – to place conditions on our expressions and demands so that who we are is supportive of life.
And to life, we either will be, or we will not!
But this philosophy was rejected.
And life collapsed.
Millions died and life itself plunged into a level of sickness we have described as unprecedented.
And even now, we refuse to offer life our gentle tread, instead, creating a world where the flaws and imperfections of others, and their mistakes from years gone by, have them dragged in front of the mob for a public stoning.
With the stone throwers being our most courageous and perfect – those of self-righteousness and virtue.
Of course, there is no virtue present – and no love – when the humanity of another is brought under attack.
Our world screams in outrage that those responsible for abuse be made accountable.
But accountability was never about highlighting and condemning the crimes of others. It is about being aware of our own. And taking responsibility for them.
So, in the spirit of the times, I will hand what is to be written here over to God, Life and our sacred earth to share their own voices, as they identify their abusers.
We wanted it. We’ve got it!
‘If you are looking for the cancer that has decimated the health of life – our health - look no further than anyone who has been abusive to it.
But do not look to the abuse of others. Look to your own.
Look to what you have inflicted upon our world. And look to what demands you have placed on it!
Never have I been more broken.
And still, even today, many of the abusive behaviours which led to our collapse prevail.
Oh, I hear it all the time. “But we have to get by!”
Really?
Has that been the foundation of the high-income world? Has your catch cry been, ‘Let us demand of this world only what we need to get by, so that we keep all life sacred?’
Your world has not been about getting by.
It has been about pursuing individual dreams and desires and placing individual energetic demands on an already broken life.
Life will never experience who or what you say you are. Or even what you convince the rest of the world you might be.
Do you think we would bow to or permit abuse for reasons of economics and business?
Do you think we allocate special permission to the wealthy among you, or to those who consider themselves celebrities, to be abusive and excessive in their demands of the world?
We experience you all equally.
We understand you as abusive. Or as supportive, of life and its needs.
Would you prostitute your own child for financial gain?
Perhaps you would.
For many, in their own way, already do.
Regardless, every time you value economics over the physical, psychological, and energetic health of life, this is what you do.
Many say I do not exist. And there are those who claim to have faith in me, but do so in secret, or when it suits them.
Do you not witness my wounds every day?
Do you not experience as I do, how ugly our world feels?
Those wounds and those feelings are my suffering!
For I am life!
And then there are those who have earned their millions off my back. Destroying my reputation, commercialising my name, and yet removing me from the day-to-day decision-making of the world.
‘It’s a business!’
How often I have heard this as an excuse or as a justification for abuse.
You say I am a business?
Is it the job of the life you belong to, of which you are a small and temporary part, to bend its already breaking back to cater to your excessive individual dreams?
Or to fund your businesses?
Would you say that to my face?
For one day we will meet!
But I will not judge you.
You will have judged yourself by being who you are.
But know any judgement of you will be made from my perspective and based on what your life meant to me.
Not what you thought you were to life.
Never forget who you are to me. And to know this you must see yourself from the viewpoint of the stars.
How small and invisible you all are. And yet your abuse of my body and the earth that strives to sustain it has been immense.
I want the abuse to stop!
So, I take to the streets to identify my abusers.
Those who have been harmful and abusive to life in its entirety.
Do these things, and life – my life - must suffer.
These are the people and things who have been abusive to life. And not one person has been given any consent to abuse life for any reason – be it economic or otherwise.
I have said from the beginning of time, honour nothing before my health and dignity.
You love to call out abuse and name and shame your abusers.
So here is my list.
These are my abusers.
All done without my consent. And without the consent of your sacred mother.
So, before you point the finger of judgement at another - an act of abuse in its own right - be sure to take stock of your own abuse of this world.
Chances are you are not as virtuous as you believed yourself to be.
I say this not for anyone to feel guilt and shame.
That is never my goal.
But so that you might view the flaws and imperfections in others – their sacred humanity – with greater love and compassion.
And make your own tread on this earth, and your own physical, psychological, and energetic expressions and contributions supportive of my life.
I ask, for the last time, that each of you put conditions on your expression and demands so who you are in truth meets my needs and honours the sacred life to which you all belong.
Know that this recent period of history has been one of the most abusive and traumatic in my life.
And it is those who participated in the above actions who are responsible for that abuse and trauma.
So be kind and gentle to each other.
And kind and gentle to me.
But do know who you are to me. And this may be quite different to what you once thought you were.
Truth can hurt.
But it can also heal!’
And so, it is.
Amen.
