How humankind really affects nature
April 2008
"I ask you therefore to consider that the greatest need on this planet right now is for an awakening of humankind to the reality that the Earth Mother herself is closely linked to the consciousness of humankind. And what happens as visible events in the body of the Earth Mother are the products of the thoughts and feelings in the mass consciousness."
~ Shiva, representative of the Holy Spirit

1. Weird times
The world is in need. Some needs are met - there are numerous environmental and humanitarian initiatives, countless projects to improve the state of the environment and living conditions. They do have certain success, but the overall impression is that it is far from enough. No matter how much we help, the need is always greater, and it seems to be rising exponentially.
Then there are natural disasters and calamities that can wipe out all the efforts in one single blow. The weather is getting crazy, the nature seems to be "losing its mind". Or is it rather us, people, who are getting off the track? Is it us who are losing our mind?
2. Mass consciousness affects the environment
It is not completely correct to say that we influence the environment only by our physical actions. We influence it through our consciousness, i.e. totality of our being. Which includes our thoughts, our feelings, the quality of our heart. You may wonder how this is possible, but as many of you know and agree, everything around us is made of energy. We live in a continuum of vibrations, from the densest ones, like our physical bodies, to the subtlest, which our physical senses cannot detect.
Aura is exactly that - an energy field storing our thoughts, emotions and ideas about life. We constantly emit waves of energy, and it is not surprising that those waves, if they grow strong enough, can affect the energy body of Earth - and even influence its natural processes. Mass consciousness is nothing more than a field of very strong energy waves (thoughts and emotions, both conscious and subconscious), and as such, can and does affect the subtle body of Earth. In other words, our physical planet is affected by the consciousness of humankind - not just by our physical actions.
This calls for a different approach in dealing with environmental problems. It calls for a large-scale spiritual awakening and change of consciousness of mankind. We need to start realizing who we are, and that we have much more power than we ever thought - we can actually, through mass consciousness change weather, climate, the whole natural world.
3. What does it mean "natural"?
Nature today does not outpicture God's perfect vision for Earth, but is burdened by many lower life forms, like pests, viruses, bacteria, even poisonous insects and snakes, which don't belong to God's blueprint. Some will be surprised by this but if you think about it, how could God envision life forms that destroy other, useful, life forms and bring damage to nature and man? How could God envision viruses and bacteria that bring nothing but disease? Poisonous snakes that bring nothing but death? Parasites that feed on plants or animals, sucking out their life? Even animals of prey that have to kill in order to survive?
Those phenomena in nature - which we consider normal, and in fact the landmark of nature - do not belong to God's vision of nature, but are a product of mankind's fall in consciousness. Don't forget that we are co-creators with God. God is the architect and we are interior designers on Earth. And we do have the power to affect even nature. And nature simply outpictures what we project on it - through our ideas and beliefs. We create primarily through the mind, and so the distorted patterns, after having been upheld in the mass consciousness for enough time, get outpictured in nature.
For example, the belief that life is a struggle and that we need to kill our enemy to survive, outpictures itself in the existence of prey animals. The idea that we can cheat life and get something for nothing, living off other people's labor, is manifested in forms of parasites. Extreme hatred and anger towards other people could manifest in form of poisonous snakes. And so on. Whatever false belief and negative emotion is there in the mass consciousness, it will be manifested in the natural world after some time.
So, distortions in nature and the existence of destructive life forms, is the consequence of a mass delusion of mankind: the majority of people forgetting who they are and accepting a false identity - an identity that is separated from God. From there stems all destruction on this planet.
It is not the fault of those animals - they are the product, not the cause. It is not the fault of poisonous snakes and spiders that they exist. They don't have the power to change their consciousness, or choose who they want to be. They behave according to the pattern into which they were born. They simply follow their instinct. 1
4. The original plan for Earth
But the point is that what we call "natural instinct" is not really natural in the higher sense of the word. It is not the kind of nature that God envisioned. And indeed, nature at the beginning was a pristine system where there were no killings, no pests, no need to keep a balance of one species by having them destroyed by another species. That itself is a distorted principle, which originated not in nature but in the minds of men. And it is present in the collective consciousness up to this day. In order to survive, we need to kill or destroy whom we perceive as our enemy.
We, the co-creators, were sent to Earth - which was a pristine system - to bring light and consciousness, so that eventually Earth would become a self-luminous globe, shining from within like a sun. And all life forms, all plants and animals would become self-aware too. As Jesus said, "if men should hold their peace, even the stones would cry out." Even the stones would realize that they were made of God's light. Everything that is created would realize that there is one God, one Light, behind all. And the Earth would become a self-luminous, self-conscious sphere. A new star would be born.
But what happened is that instead of expanding our awareness and rising in consciousness, we fell in consciousness, and brought down the Earth too. So what we see today is far from the original purity that God created. But it is even further from the highest potential for Earth, which is to rise enough in vibration and consciousness so as to become a permanent sphere in spirit, i.e. to ascend.
5. Plan B: after the angels fell
The co-creators came to bring God's light and consciousness to Earth. In that venture they had the help of beings with high spiritual attainment - angels and ascended masters - whose task was to guide them and teach them. But when a good part of the angels fell, because they refused to serve the co-creators in their mission on Earth, the plan of God took a different turn.
Fallen angels were allowed to embody on Earth, because God is merciful and gave them another chance. While the co-creators were now faced with a more challenging task - a real opportunity to test their free will and choose between true teachers sent by God and false teachers - the fallen angels. They had the opportunity to choose between the path of oneness with God, or the path of separation, which the fallen angels advocated.
The serpent in the Garden of Eden represents those false teachers, who told Adam and Eve that they would surely not die if they didn't follow God's orders. What he told them in fact is that there is another path to eternal life, another path to salvation, than through the mind of Christ, through the consciousness of oneness with God. He told them there is an easier path. And because they were not yet mature enough, and the serpent was very convincing, they decided to follow the serpent. And the rest is history...
That's how Earth found itself on the wrong track. It was not just the fault of the fallen angels, but also the choice of the co-creators, who decided to turn their backs on God (they hid from God in the Garden of Eden) and follow the false teachers. The false path seemed easier or more fun maybe. But the end of that path was their spiritual death. And ages and ages of imprisonment in lower consciousness, in pain and suffering, followed.
That lower consciousness is what caused gradual densifying of matter on Earth, and fall in vibration, and nature outpicturing life forms and phenomena that are out of alignment with God's vision.
6. The deadly idea of separation from God
What we need to do now is to get back on the right path, stop following the false teachers and return to our God, whom we in ignorance and pride abandoned. But we need to return to the true God, whom we know in our hearts, and stop worshiping false concepts of God that are present both in religion and science and even new-age spirituality. Many people see God as an outer figure whom we worship and do the things we think will please him and guarantee our salvation.
But he still stays outside of us, because we are not willing to remove the barriers (the ego) which prevent us from proclaiming "I and my Father are one". For some this is considered blasphemy, for some too big of a sacrifice. So we stay separate from God, following an outer path (worshipping God with our lips but not with our heart), or we abandon the path altogether.
Our idea of separation from God - the idea that exists only in our minds because the spiritual reality is different - leads to all sorts of false ideologies and behaviors which are out of alignment with God's vision and the vision of our higher being. We are constantly projecting mental images upon the Mother Light - the creative substance of which the entire universe is made. And this substance then outpictures those images, i.e. takes form that we hold in our mind.
If we believe that we need to kill in order to survive because the resources are limited - and if this idea is held by the majority of humankind - we'll have it outpictured in nature. And so Darwin concluded that nature is about one species killing the other in order to survive. But that's not the predominant pattern in nature, nor is it what God had in mind when he created the Earth.
God created the Earth with a pure vision in mind. He created everything that we need for self-expression and self-realization. Our task was to "multiply and have dominion over the Earth". This doesn't mean to procreate but to multiply our talents, our spiritual gifts, by expressing them in the material realm. To have dominion over Earth means to learn to master the material realm - including our thoughts, feelings and actions - by bringing them into alignment with our Spirit.
7. Matrix transcended
To re-cap, we came to Earth to create, or better say to co-create with God. God created his part at the beginning of time. He had been creating for 6 days, and on the 7th day he rested. Why did he rest? To give an opportunity to us.
We have been given a beautiful platform to co-create according to our higher vision - the vision of God within. So far we largely missed that opportunity. But there is still time. If several thousand people would achieve full Christ consciousness, and millions more would start working on it, our planet would see tremendous changes, within a very short time. Imagine if enough people would start affirming their true identity and projecting a new film on the screen of life - what would happen? New film means new plot means new outcome! It could be a happy ending if we make it so.
We need a new film - not Matrix Reloaded, but Matrix Transcended. The matrix masters wouldn't even understand what happened, where all their slaves disappeared. Well, they simply stepped out of the false reality presented by the matrix masters, and stepped in the TRUE REALITY of their divine beings. In the reality of God, the reality of Christ. In that reality there are no masters other than their true selves. There is just freedom, freedom of being who we really are.

1 Most animals follow their natural instincts to eat, procreate and self-protect, and eventhough their setup is very material, they don't indulge in any of those instinctual activities - they don't overeat, they don't copulate when it's not their season, and they don't simply attack another animal for fun or to show their supremacy. Some animals, like dolphins, whales, elephants, horses and some sorts of dogs, are endowed with elementals (nature spirits), thus outpicturing innocence, beauty and intelligence of the universe. But when people are driven by animal instinct, they usually don't possess the innocence of animals. Because when people lose vision of their spiritual identity, they tend to get caught in the pleasures of the material realm, the pleasures of the senses, becoming slaves of matter instead of taking dominion over matter. Their excessive craving for material pleasures is in fact a distorted urge for oneness with their Higher Self and with God.
Animals cannot fall into that trap because, unlike humans, they don't have the ability to willingly change their consciousness, and they don't have that inner urge to spiritually unite with something outside themselves. We could say that animals have peace of mind, however simple that mind may be. So they are just being what they were created to be. In fact, an even greater truth is that humans, through collective (sub)consciousness, can affect the consciousness of animals because humans are co-creators with God. Some species present today on Earth, like predators, poisonous snakes and spiders, and deadly bacteria and viruses, are in fact the consequence of human fall in consciousness.
Here is an excerpt from a text about the influence of human consciousness on nature:
"Through contaminating vibrations of cruelty, Nature has absorbed human imperfection. The savage qualities of jungle beasts are considered animalistic, whereas in reality, when the truth of life is known and the record of akasha and the planetary aura is accurately read, it will be learned that animal as well as elemental life originally absorbed their gross and sometimes grotesque outpicturings from mankind.
Savagery, cannibalism, violence, revenge, and killing originated in mankind’s lowest evolutionary descent and were transmitted directly by vibration to the subspecies. Therefore, the animal magnetism in humans – often sub-animal, wreaking a devilish wrath – must be redeemed i.e., transmuted in the process of freeing the planet.
Through the radiation of kindness, joy, and gratitude, all nature will ultimately attain a pristine state of Edenic perfection where "the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard with the kid, the calf and the young lion together..." (Isaiah 11:6)"
