I
realize that these are still “glints” of possibility in humanity,
and they are important glints that may well grow stronger as our species
evolves.
Yet there is a greater reason than any of these to argue for the continuance
of humanity. The reason lies in just what we are in relation to the
Earth – to Gaia. For we are all part of Gaia, everything on and
of the Earth is collectively Gaia. So, what may that mean? Human DNA
is quite interesting, for we apparently are the culmination of the DNA
of everything else on planet Earth. In a sense, humans are “little
earths”, each one of us. Being “little earths” we are
where Gaia has been and where She is going. We are “Her” evolution
as well as our own; being all aspects at each stage of that evolution
– we also encompass Her consciousness. Our consciousness is Gaia's
consciousness: our evolvement is Gaia's evolvement.
Certainly there are many issues to resolve with the existence of the
human species; yet, would it be wise to destroy that aspect – or
even let us destroy ourselves? If the Earth were to choose to destroy
us, would She really be making the best decision?
Destroying us may well mean the destruction of far more than the consciousness
achieved – it could well include many levels of the subconscious/conscious
state that reside in a large portion of the animal kingdom, for our
destruction may well cost their survival. Would it not be suicide on
Gaia's part? And as we know, as conscious beings (as She is conscious),
suicide does not eradicate problems; it only postpones them. Our lessons
are Her lessons, and She must resolve them – now or later.
By perceiving this World View, my perspective has changed dramatically
as I find that I blame far less and observe far more. We may well destroy
ourselves – but, we are part of Nature and truly do act from that.
Gaia only grows as we grow – we only grow as Gaia grows and we
are totally tied into all life on this planet. We are this planet. We
are Gaia. Until we profoundly understand and accept that – we will
not move forward and may quite likely destroy ourselves.
