Mother Earth:
Little do the mass populace realize that our holy Earth (greek Goddess Gaia) is a very extraodinary living being. She's cognitive, She's moody, and She can pack a big wallop when pissed off. Her lifeways is the water on the planet, and everything that is made up of water is her cell structure. Everything living, carries a similar pattern. When life reproduces, it's no different than the cells in our bodies multiplying. Even when humans are made, we come from a tiny cell from the father joined with another tiny cell from the mother. Much like Mother Earth's creation in the Big Bang Theory. It's a reoccurent theme in our lives and our world. It's what keeps life moving, growing, changing. The cells divide making new cells, from one dividing into two, from two into four, four into eight, and they all look pretty much alike in the beginning, just like human babies often look pretty similar. But when the eight cells divide, the new cells begin to look different from one another, just as we humans look different from one another. In humans, some of those cells become bone cells that make up our skeletons, just like the living mineral mass cells of the earth, make up her core and solid earthy structure. In humans, some become blood cells ... and in the Earth, those blood cells are the living animals on this planet, of which humans belong. In Humans, some of those cells become muscle cells, in Gaia, those muscle cells are the trees and plants. They attach to the muscles and hold everything together strongly. Some of these muscle cells specialize, some become the heart muscle. In humans that makes up the heart, In Gaia that's what we call energy. Some cells become nerve cells. In humans that is often the pain we feel, in Gaia, that is often the devastating geo-morphological disruptions she feels (earthquakes, volcanos, craters, sinkholes, and abscesses. In humans, there are over two hundred different cells in our bodies, In Gaia it's the diversity we call nature. Each kind of cell is shaped differently because it has a different job to do, and each of these cells looks very different from one another. Each element of nature that makes up Gaia has different jobs to do too, and even when we specialize down to specific cells, like those humans belong to, we each have specific jobs to do on this planet. This is where it bugs me when people spend their lives seeking out their purpose in life and why they are here, and just simply don't see the bigger picture.
On the outside of our bodies we have skin cells. On Gaia, this is the ozone layer and her protective outer core, and atmosphere. Skin cells protect the body (ours as well as Gaia's) by keeping out rain, dirt, and germs. Gaia's protective layers keep out harmful radiation and cosmic elements that could destroy her. Skin protects us from heat, cold, sharp and hard objects. Skin cells stack in layers of about ten cells thick, always making new skin cells on the inside layer, and then moving outwards as the cells get older and tougher. We see this not only in ourselves, but the layers of bark on a tree, and the atmospheric and protective outer core layers of the Earth (Gaia). When skin cells die, they flake off and form dust. Millions of skin cells die every day.
Cells are alive, and they need nutrients to survive. Like I said, everything on the planet that contains water, is directly associated with Gaia's blood cells. We humans, are her blood cells. Blood cells carry nutrients and oxygen into the body. Red blood cells are those that carry oxygen to the cells. Without oxygen all of your cells cells would die. We (plants and animals) are the breathing force that keeps this planet Gaia alive. Red blood cells also take the carbon dioxide out of the cells into the blood where it goes to the lungs again and is breathed out of the body. Blood also carry white blood cells. The white blood cells are the defenders of the body. They fight bacteria and viruses that might make the living entity sick, including making Gaia sick. The body makes about one hundred fifty million (150,000,000) blood cells every minute of our lives to replace the ones that die. This is our reproduction and death cycle.
Humans: There are essentially three groups of humans in their role to the Earth and the cycle of life. We have the white blood cells ... those of us that do something for this world - the environmentalists, the doctors, nurses, healers, musicians, artists, scientists, thinkers, movers, shakers, changers ... we who make change in this world. I proudly am a white blood cell. My purpose in life is to defend the memory of the dead cells so that the new cells can learn from the former life cycle - that which worked and that which didn't in the life cycle of the purpose of defending Gaia's life force from those elements that exist to harm her. Then there are the bacteria and viruses, some good and some bad. Sometimes these bacteria and viruses outnumber the white blood cells, and this is where the battle for the lifestream of Gaia struggles. This is where we are now. There are too many humans on this planet playing the role of harmful bacteria and viruses. They consume, they spread, they decay, they drill, they deplete, they destroy our beautiful Mother Earth. Of course both the white blood cells and the harmful bacteria and viruses have to co-exist, and they have to continuously battle one another. Their existence thrives on this. Some of the bacteria and viruses that drill, deplete, burn, and destroy elements of Mother Earth are actually beneficial in the long run, and exist to to make her stronger, make her evolve, and prepare for onslaught's by the bad ones. Then there are the blood cells that just exist and flow. They don't really do anything but make up Gaia's blood streams bulk composition. These are those who work, play, sleep, and exist ... not making any change in this world, They deplete, they breath, they produce oxygen. In human anacronisms, its the herd, the sheep, the mass mentality of doing what the white blood cells or the bacteria and viruses tell them to do. They don't think for themselves, they don't think about the bigger picture, and some of them waste their lives away until they die off, sometimes reproducing, sometimes not, often inducing themselves with stimulants and depressants (drugs, alcohol, chemicals) that make them just stagnate in a anti-productive stasis.
I've been a part of this battle for a long time, and I'm getting close to half of my life cycle being over (assuming i live to 70 or 80 or so, since I'm asthmatic and while a very strong white blood cell, a damaged one) ... and I'm tired. I'm tired of being alone in this battle, or feeling alone, and watching our white blood cell numbers disintegrate and die off without reproduction. I'm tired of watching the harmful bacteria and viruses multiplying at a faster rate than the good side. I need to unite with my brothers and sisters on the productive side. We need to create a stronger army. I love my Gaia, and I want her to live forever. Brothers and Sisters will you join me in this war? Will you start thinking about the bigger picture? will you become good cells? will you recycle? will you think about the ozone? will you work towards making life better for the rest of us, greener, will you go to school and learn and spread that wisdom? will you invent things to keep the life cycle flowing? will you please become healers? musicians that make a beat for the rest of us to dance to be inspired to celebrate life? Be an artist to motivate the rest of us to cherish life and our cycle? to protect the weak and meager? Please?
I will continue on in this war with or without you. But we need your help. Wake up. Think outside the box. Don't be of the herd. Don't be a brainless sheep. Don't just listen to what you see on TV, or your dictator tells you to do (those are the most harmful viruses by the way), don't fall into mass brainless functions like religious or political system that make you a brick in a wall that prevents us white blood cells from doing our job. Gaia needs you. If you don't, she's gonna rattle and roll in her ailing health, bringing more hurricanes, tornadoes, tidal waves, freezing storms, and disasters to literally wipe you off the face of the earth. In her self-defense, she'll kill alot of us white blood cells as well. But her target will be you. Love, Live, Grow, and Evolve. Flow, Grow, and Flame within her. Please. I pleade of you. I won't give up.
Also please think about the toxins and chemicals that make us stagnate that we put in our bodies. I'm guilty of this too. The alcohol, the drugs, the chemicals. In the long run, it's damaging our beings, and making our lives shorter and shorter. For you harmful ones out there, please do addict and destroy yourselves, we really don't want you. But for those of us making a change, please cut back. We need you. Certainly everything in balance and never in excess. We need relaxation. But its the excess that gets us in trouble globally. I'm fighting this within myself right now. I have to watch the toxins I put in myself just as its my duty to watch out for the toxins that enter Gaia's body. What kind of environmentalist can I be if I can't take of myself. This year, I'm changing this. I will heal what I have damaged and I will become stronger to defend Gaia and our memory, our intelligence, and our ability to become stronger. It is time for battle, It is time for war. Take no hostages.
Ok, I'm off my soapbox now. I hope my words inspire some of you to join the antibodies and white blood cell force. We want you.
inspired by the song: Cantus by Faith and the Muse, on Annwyn, Beneath the Waves ....
Inspired by the gospel of the Gaia Hypothesis: The Gaia hypothesis is an ecological hypothesis that proposes that living and nonliving parts of the earth are a complex interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism. Named after the Greek earth goddess, this hypothesis postulates that all living things have a regulatory effect on the Earth's environment that promotes life overall.
The study of planetary habitability is partly based upon extrapolation from knowledge of the Earth's conditions, as the Earth is the only planet currently known to harbour life. The release of this image prompted the formulation of the proposition that the Earth was alive, and fostered acceptance of that proposition.
