19.01.2022 Oh, to raise a lifelong learner!
12.01.2022 Every person alive today descended from a nature based people. In current times where a conscious connection to nature is seemingly lost, it would be prudent to... remember this. Our hearts, hands, nervous systems and sensibilities are each a part of this world and have all evolved due to the nature that surrounds us. Over time we’ve become alienated from our individuality, our souls and from nature. With the rise of patriarchal religions the sacred feminine and nature being seen as sacred was repressed. Suddenly people were seeking a heaven that was out of this world and divinity that was out of this body. When the divine was sought outside and beyond this earth, the sacredness of all that exists within this world is lost, leaving mother earth to be something that could be tamed, controlled and ignored. Mastery and control of nature replaced respect for it. And the appropriate response to the wild woman (seen as Mother Nature here) was to tame and control her. Women healers were banned and burnt at the stake when their remedies cured those that male doctors could not. Carrying on traditions of natural healing was perceived as devil worship. Women were seen as less and people who lived outside of cities seen as savages. People lost their sense of place as a dualistic world view that split mind from body, and humans from nature emerged. Human existence follows the rhythms of the universe, just like plant and animal life. Going through a series of cycles of life transitions and regenerative cycles. Together as an entire race we are being asked to transition from the adolescent view of ‘me’ to ‘we’. To remember that we exist in a holistic interdependent community that includes all beings and species. We will only truly gain belonging, and meaning when we love and respect our greater community and give back to it. No longer treating it as a commodity to be consumed and abused. Then we will gain back our sense of sacredness and sense of place in the wide web of life. -Bridget Bloom #ecowarrior #naturelovers #patriarchy
