For any student of spiritual teachings, this book will be an instant classic. It deals with one of the most important issues of our time, namely the relationship between human beings and the planet upon which we live. In reality, we are spiritual beings and our consciousness is connected to the quantum waveform of the planet. Thus, we are co-creating the reality we face, both in society and in the so-called natural environment. The book explains the 144 levels of consciousness possible on planet earth and how each problem seen in society is caused by people trapped at a certain level of consciousness. This gives an entirely new view of history, including "man's inhumanity to man." You will learn how spiritual people can play a major role in raising the collective consciousness, so that certain problems are simply transcended. The book is a direct revelation from humankind's spiritual teachers, including the Divine Mother, the Buddha and the Chohans of each of the spiritual rays. These ego-free teachers explain how we can each play a role in raising the collective consciousness and bringing society closer to a Golden Age. This will help us transcend current environmental problems by developing a new form of technology that is not force-based. It will also help us transcend all other problems by coming to understand the true potential of our minds, namely that the mind has power over matter. In fact, planet earth is a laboratory for teaching us the true power of the mind.

This brief but ambitious book explores our relationship with nature through the imagery we use when we talk about Mother Nature. Employing the critical tools of religious studies, psychology, and gender studies, Catherine M. Roach examines the various manifestations of nature as "mother" and what that idea implies for the way we approach the natural world. Part One, "Nature as Good Mother," discusses the notion that nature is, or is like, a beneficent and nurturing mother who provides and maintains life. In studying the "green" slogan "Love Your Mother," Roach questions the effects-for women and for the environment-of imputing female gender to nature. She asks us to look at the associations "motherhood" and "mothering" carry within a culture still shaped by patriarchy. She notes the danger of such an apparently pro-environmental slogan if "mother" evokes the bountiful, self-sacrificing provider who herself requires no care.Part Two, "Nature as Bad Mother," looks at the contrary notion of nature as a violent, threatening, and wrathful mother. This image arises most often when humans and technology are depicted as masters of unruly nature. Here Roach draws on theological reflection to analyze this ambivalence toward nature manifested in a fantasy that casts humans as gods. She explores the contributions of eco-theology and eco-psychology to a "heart of darkness" perspective. Finally, Part Three, "Nature as Hurt Mother," looks at possibilities and pitfalls of environmental healing inherent in the image of nature as a mother we have wounded and now seek to heal.ALSO OF INTEREST ECOFEMINISMWomen, Culture, NatureEdited by Karen J.

The environment is our life source. It has supplied humans with everything we have needed to survive for tens of thousands of years. It has nurtured us, and now it is our turn to narture it. This book explains how modern society has forgotten the importance of giving back to the environmental in order to keep it functioning property. Also forgotten is our dependence on nature for the health of our minds, bodies and spirits. Such wisdom is well known is indigenous cultures, but sadly disremembered in Western civilisation. Most people believe that reducing our impact on the environment through recycling, upcycling using renewable energy sources and utilising re-usable products is enough to make our planet healthy again. They don't realise that reducing our impact only slows the destruction of earth, it doesn't reverse the damage we have done. Given the current state of the environment, we can no longer focus on only reducing our impact. We need to go further than that and start giving back to nature. Doing so will ensure our survival for generations to come. This book informs readers of the many simple and practical ways we can all start giving back to the environment on a daily basis physically and metaphysically. It utilises the wisdom of our indigenous ancestors to encourage us all to start living in harmony with Mother earth once again. This is no average environmental management book. It is revolutionary in its approach to helping the natural world.
