Let the Earth be your House

Let the Earth be your House

Our house is located near Mount Raydal, where he lived for 35 years, poet and mystic William Wordsworth (his garden bordered with ours). Is it a coincidence that this is where I'm writing a book about the natural mysticism? Maybe this is the place where the natural spirit blend, nature and art? Maybe this is the point where thriving carefree time? I believe in it, and I want to live here.

As our houses have their spirits, and the area surrounding the house has its own guardian, and it also affects us. If you are contacting with the Spirit of the place where you live, you may find and what did not happen to be here. You caught ultimate goal here. (Similarly, places that you go to relax, you can draw is not for those reasons, about which so eloquently written in bright tourist brochures.) There is a wonderful way to broaden our sense of home by tuning in to the angel of the place where we live or where we rest. In addition, we can connect with the spirit of the Earth, called Gaia.

To love and cherish our house, built of brick or wood, is in itself very important. But beyond that, our apartments are like a metaphor, a symbol of love to a larger home for Mother Earth. If we are careless about their physical home, it can lead to disunity and the planet, not to mention our deep "I".

If we believe that God is "out there" (as we learn from religion), and the Earth is an inert piece of rock (as science says), then we are doomed to loneliness and alienation. We are becoming homeless inhabitants of the planet, alien to her. Likely to avoid these unpleasant feelings, many of us have become addictions.

One of the joys of natural mysticism is that we re-connect with the divine "female" energy, ie with the body, wild with our "I" with nature, with an invisible reality, with our integrity. Thus, we no longer feel alone and lost on Mother Earth. We know that we are home. We are firmly set foot on its soil. We are here. That's where the country is "milk and honey river banks."

On a practical level, to make Earth their home, you can, for example, lift off the ground litter, going for a walk (to be kept in the pocket of any package.) You can also travel frequently to learn more about his big house. You can collaborate with various organizations, such as "Friends of the Earth." Or, think carefully about your lifestyle and about what he has influence on our common home. Can you imagine the Earth as a sacred place of beauty, peace and harmony, to send love and light of the Spirit of the Earth. You can participate in the esoteric healing of the planet on an energetic level. Or work with angels and spirits of the earth. Or just feel immense joy and gratitude when he heard the thrush, noting nest in the branches of the mighty tree, or a host of golden daffodils found.
