How Nature Works:

I think
Satan is great. He is the Wild
man. Pan the goat footed god of nature. Only problem is I want a female
version too. A woman who runs with the wolves. Virgin - owned by
no-one, a free spirit. Satan is often portrayed as more powerful than
God/dess. Nonsense!!! He/she is part of the Divine. The other side of
the coin in the silly dualistic game church and society and government
want us all to believe and play. Satan listens to his/her attractions
and follows them, but the church wants us to believe that if we do that
we will have no control and never stop and anarchy will result. That
isnt how nature operates at all and we wouldnt either. There would
probably be a pendulum swing to excess at first - like kids being let
out of school. After I have satisfied an attraction I am always
attracted to stopping and doing something else. I have never seen a
small child take all the toys for itself and stay there with them for
ever. I have never seen anyone eat tub after tub of ice cream and never
stop either.
I commit to regular time connecting with nature
because that attracts me, it makes sense and it is a natural step to
where I want us all to be.
I love Star Trek - Next Generation but I
wonder why nearly all Sci-Fi films have people spending so little time
in nature and seemingly thriving? I dont care how great the holodeck
experience is it cant give the same pleasure as the real thing.
For
many years through psychology counseling, I have recognized the
post-hypnotic trance I was living in
and fighting my way back to consciousness of that has been a long, time
consuming and expensive haul. RWN certainly helps speed up the process
for me.
I discovered that many of the scientific and
technological advances people get so excited about are crazy if we take
off our nature disconnected spectacles and that its a good idea not to use 'natural' terms as swear words if I
want to reconnect myself to nature. I am attracted to changing the 'bad' things about society and
standing up for what is right scares me too.
I
get good feelings in nature when I commit to regular time connecting
with nature because that attracts me, it makes sense and it is a
natural step to where I want us all to be. hug a tree. smell leaves and
the earth after rain. I would feel bereft if my ability to experience
any of these things was taken away. I also am learning to trust that
there is always more NIAL to discover. Look at Robert the Bruce and the
Spider!
I re-educated the one inside me who says: 'Who do you
think you are! Keep your opinions to yourself and your head down. Leave
thinking to those who do it best!'
Yep - my self worth and trust in nature's essence just grows and grows."
"I did this activity in a garden made by a friend of mine. That was
unusual
also as I generally prefer wild areas to developed ones. This place is
special because it was a very ugly and abused piece of land until she
made it beautiful. There is a rock wall around the area of natural
stone and with the exception of two stone paths, the entire area is
flowers and small trees. I was drawn to sit in the corner of the garden
where there is an old wicker seat. I closed my eyes and relaxed and was
immediately aware of all the layers upon layers of smells. The stone
wall smelled tangy. There was wet earth and jasmine,honeysuckle,
orange, carnation and lavender, etc. If I focused on a particular smell
I experienced a different emotional/feeling array. Honeysuckle was
heavy and lazy, Jasmine is sensual, carnations are energetic and clean,
etc. I am amazed at how friendly the place feels and how many things
are reaching out to me.
I began to tune in to hearing. There was a very faint woosh of a breeeze
that
came in the opening in the wall, spiraled around the whole garden and
left. I though about whether the smells borne on this breeze whould
connect and attract others outisde this environment, thereby connecting
it. There were little scrtiching sounds from a number of areas of the
garden as whatever lives under the plants went about thier business. I
realized that other than hearing, they seemed not to be closely
connected to me but just accept my presence. There were a number of
birds singing as it was late afternoon. There is a time in the very
late afternoon just before sunset that all the birds in town sing for
about 10 minutes so I knew about where the sun was standing even though
my eyes were closed and the wall deepened the dark. I felt extremely
peaceful and as if the environment were doing its best to nurture me.
I
became aware more of the stones and that they were far from inert. The
ones under my feet were very friendly and warm, the wall felt like a
bed of life and when I examined them further I found bugs, moss, little
plants...something..in every crack. They felt very supportive to me as
well.
After a while, I felt the entire atmosphere change to slightly hostile,
as
if I were no longer wanted where I sat. The longer I sat, the more I
felt
uncomfortable.
I got up and sat on the stone path where it once again felt welcoming.
I noticed a few minutes later that a very poisonous scorpion was slowly
making his way where my bare feet had been a few minutes earlier.I
truely realized that the entities in nature had warned me that I was
not in the best place possible for me at the time. I resolved to be
more open to hearing what was being communicated to me from my
environment.
I got up and walked into the house. As I walked in, I was sensitive to
the
connection I was leaving which only slowly shifted away. I was in an
inner
room of the house before I sensed that the garden's attention had turned
elsewhere.
2.
I learned that the webstrings are only within my awareness when I am
ina state of openness but that they are there always and affect my
feelings in a variety of ways. I learned as well that they are for my
benefit, even if what I am experiencing appears to be negative to me
initially. I learned that the earth loves me.
