Gaia's Health

Gaia's Health is poor. She's feverish and there are no drugs that can help. That, in fact, is the problem - the administration of too much toxic material. Junk of every type has been put into her system. And, like modern medicine, the presumed solution has been to put even more toxic crap into her. But, like our own health, Gaia's is going downhill.

There's a connection between our health and the earth's. I sincerely doubt that most of us nowadays have any idea how it feels to be healthy. It's hardly a surprise that so many people find it hard to believe that the state of the earth is so bad. It seems normal to them. Just like a lack of energy, inability to sleep, constant stress, and running to the doctor seems normal.

But it's not. It isn't normal for there to be so many hurricanes, droughts, floods, and fires. Neither is diabetes or asthma. The cause of both is the same - people who've become so separated from the real world that they no longer understand their own nature. In trying to survive in this disconnected culture, people have defined health in such a narrow way that they refuse to accept certain innate characteristics of us all, instead denying them. The idea that we're greedy is unacceptable, so we refuse to acknowledge it in ourselves - in spite of the fact that a certail dollop of greed is necessary to take what you need for survival. We believe that anger is bad. We're even told it's unhealthy. But anger is the seed for change, the spark that ignites action against unfairness.

So, we take those "undesirable" traits and do what schizophrenics do. We push them outside - refuse to acknowledge that they're inside us. Of course, like any schizophrenic, the traits are still there. Obviously so, as you know if you've seen any schizophrenic wrestling with voices outside himself.

But, where do we put those traits undesirable in modern society? Corporations, of course! That's where we allow our greed and anger free expression. That's where we put our dark side. And that's why we find it so hard to acknowledge the evil of such constructs. Like a schizophrenic, we deal with those traits by refusing to admit they're part of us.

We're reaching the end of this insanity. Sadly, we've entangled more than ourselves in our craziness. We've pushed it to the point of destroying the world.

What saddens me more than anything else isn't the impending doom of humanity. If this is the best we can do, with all our vaunted intelligence and awareness, then we shouldn't exist. But most of the rest of Gaia's creation is going down with us.

Now is the time for anger and outrage. Let's get honestly greedy. It's time to take the world back from the corporations, time to bring it back from the brink of annihilation. Let the rage come. Own your greed. Those people who've stolen from the rest of us without earning it need to be shorn of such wealth.

If you happen to read this and it spikes a bit of interest, perhaps you'd enjoy my website, Gaia Health, which is focused on the concept that the health of humans is inextricably linked with the health of the earth. It's dedicated to telling the truth. If you know how you've been misled by agribusiness, Big Pharma, modern medicine, and corporations in general, you might develop a sense of outrage. I certainly hope so, because without it, we have no hope.
