How Spirituality Can Help Heal the Earth (And Why It Is Needed More Than Ever)
The bitter truth about where humanity is heading and how we, as ordinary humans, can help to heal the world.
The ocean swallowed the most technologically advanced city, Atlantis. Likewise, the exceptional capital of Lord Krishna, Dwaraka, went under the sea. Or the myth says so.
Does the ocean have a liking for progressive, beautiful cities? Do they taste better? Or did something else happen?
Extinction wiped out the traces of ancient advancements. Until recently, archeologists unearthed many mythical cities that were only in legends till now.
Does that mean we (a technologically advanced yet ego-centric society) will be a myth soon?
Climate scientists say that the chances of our doom are extreme if we continue doing what we have been doing.
Human ignorance has no limits. We adjust to our adversities. Tweak minor changes for a few days. Ignore those happening at far. Blame one other and move on.
It is easy to shut the eyes than to face the truth.
And the truth is, the world is boiling in sheer ignorance. Wars, pandemics, insane temperatures, wildfires, and other calamities are shaking the basic ground humans stand on.
You have a choice to either recognize the immense problem that glares in your face. Or you may enjoy the short-lived ignorance.
Sounding Smart and Optimistic Is Stupid
We all are ordinary people who are struggling to make a living. Money, relationships, and health are the key priorities.
But we can gossip about climate change and the dooming of the Earth.
We want to sound smart without moving our asses. We want to cover our laziness with optimism. It is killing precious time.
Our so-called smartness, optimism, and monumental ignorance are poisoning the environment for future generations.
Why should I be concerned about Amazon’s or Australia’s forest fire when my ass is on fire at work? What does the Ukraine-Russia war do with me when I’m already facing a battle with my family? How can I cool down the sweltering heat in Europe when I’m suffering it myself?
Yes, we can not influence the world’s climate or policies. We can’t throw away short-sighted people with enormous egos sitting at prominent positions.
But can we munch on popcorn as we watch the world sink with our future kids or grandkids sitting on its decks?
It is better to be dumb and feel the pain of Earth than to sound smart and burst its environment.
Should we allow someone to stay in our house if they endlessly bomb our basement and scratch the walls for some hidden jewels?
But we are doing this nonsense abuse with our Earth.
Humans need to step down from the self-assigned position of gods. And become a human once again. That human can feel the pain and agony.
A Profound Understanding of Spirituality May Open the Impossible Realms
Each human is doing their best according to their mind. Some may do their best on destruction. Others may do their best in the renovation.
But imagine if your mind becomes limitless and merges with the consciousness of the infinite universe. The possibility of doing your best increases insanely.
As per ancient scriptures and saints, there are many levels of consciousness. Spirituality uncovers those layers of consciousness, which are otherwise latent.
As Osho says,
Every second of your life, awake or asleep, you are collecting rubbish. The amount is so much that your remaining life will not be able to free you from it. Moreover, while you are freeing yourself from the old rubbish, every day you are collecting new rubbish. And that is not all.
Deeper than this is your collective unconscious, which has not even touched. And below that is the cosmic unconscious.
Perhaps you will take an eternity to be totally psychoanalyzed, so all three unconscious layers under your consciousness are completely emptied, and you don’t have any burden, any tension. It is not going to succeed. The situation is such that its failure is absolute — categorically certain.
The East has tried just the opposite: go upwards, forget about the basements. YOu have three stories above your consciousness. Use your consciousness to enter into super-consciousness. Use your super-consciousness to enter into the collective super-consciousness. Use it to enter into the cosmic consciousness. And the magic is the moment you have entered all these three consciousness. You have so much light. The light is much that all the contents of your unconscious will be burned; all the darkness will be dispelled.
Meditation will take you into more conscious areas. Not psychoanalysis, but meditation has produced thousands of enlightened human beings.
As a seeker goes deep within the meditation, light becomes theirs. The entire universe operates through them.
Spirituality walks you down the path of your actual self-realization.
Humility, kindness, and compassion ooze effortlessly. Everybody becomes your extended version. Unconditional love blossoms.
Intense love opens the jammed doors of your heart. It burns down every limitation.
Raise Your Vibration to Increase the Consciousness Of Earth
My teacher revealed during my first Reiki class, “Disease does not directly affect the body. It first attacks the energetic layer of the body. If the assault continues to happen, then it manifests in the body. Complete healing can never happen only in the body. You have to work on energy. Heal the energy, and the body will get healed by itself.”
Wow! It was surreal to listen.
As I went deep into spirituality, I profoundly experienced the difference between the physical and the energy body.
Every physical being has an energy body. And the Earth has its energetic field as well.
While a few people are working on Earth’s physical body, you can heal the energetic body of Earth.
No, you don’t need to be a light worker. You need no certifications.
You just need to have an intention and a pure heart. That is it.
A pure heart with a good intention always works best. Small conscious attempts can collectively heal the world.
Simple Steps to Elevate the Vibration of Earth Collectively
A beautiful but enormous task becomes doable when everybody does its small parts. Howsoever insignificant it may seem to you.
Powerful intentions with focused thoughts and a grateful heart can do miracles. Make your life an epitome of prayerfulness and humility by these simple steps:
- Raise your consciousness via meditation or other spiritual practices.
- Be prayerful.
- Open your heart and be compassionate to people, animals, trees, and insects.
- Instead of judging and criticizing, send loving and healing prayers.
- Be grateful for everything you consume.
It is time we play our beautiful parts in healing the world. Because if harmony is balanced on energetic levels, physicality takes its care by itself.
Don’t feel burdened by the gigantic task. Just focus on your efforts and make your life as beautiful as possible.
Practice meditation to raise your vibration. Be closer to your divine self each day.
Realizing the self is an excellent service you can do to humanity. Because when you become self-realized, your mere presence becomes powerful to elevate the vibration of the place.
Takeaways
The world has seen enough. Endured enough. Earth can not sustain itself for long as we go on assaulting it. The time has come to raise the Earth’s vibration and heal it.
Now is the time to put your efforts into raising your consciousness. Open your heart. Connect yourself with more. Be more conscious.
Sit for meditation and relaxation in the infinite energy. You invariably heal yourself and the things around you when your consciousness rises.
Right now is the time to take small action in the right direction. This Sanskrit phrase from Maha Upanishad sums up all —
“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.” It means the world is a family.
And the family needs you more than ever.
