Our willingness to acknowledge our human roles as spiritual beings is collective. Do not worship someone else’s sacredness as a means to forget your own. No person or group is inherently more connected to the earth or to the sky or to the essence of nature than another. That is like saying our feet have a better relationship with Planet Earth than our heads because our feet are physically closer to the ground. Our parts operate as one or else we are incomplete. Yet, each of our existences is already the complete embodiment of divinity.
Behind the mental fallacy that the Earth can be controlled is the coping mechanism of our collective human trauma and our purest spiritual desire. We’ve mistaken the desire to master our belonging on physical Earth as spiritual beings with the false belief that more land ownership—more control of resources, people, and the physical ground beneath us—can lessen the insecurities that come with forgetting that our physical existence is the manifestation of our spiritual essence.
