Art of God

To restore balance to the planet, we must choose to change our behavior. To change our behavior, we must change how we approach the issues that we face. To paraphrase Einstein, one cannot repeat the same actions and expect different results. In order to obtain positive results for the ecological and cultural issues that we have developed, we need to think of Nature in a different context than we have in the past. For the most positive and far reaching results, we must recognize Nature herself as a unified culture, of which we are a part, and collaborate with her. It is of utmost importance that we recognize and acknowledge that we are neither separate from, nor superior to Nature. Rather, we are an integral part of the culture of Nature. We are now responsible for stewardship of our relationship with her, as well as collaboration and unification with her other member cultures as we choose the design of our future.

I have never blogged before, and, as I begin this adventure, I sense that it is one of those experiences that holds gifts greater than I can imagine at this point. I am sure that my writing style will improve, my writing “voice” will develop, and my relationship with myself and, as important, my relationship with others – even those who don’t read or respond to these entries – will benefit.

Unity favors collaboration. In order for all cultures to unify, including the cultures of Nature, collaboration and cooperation must be embraced by all parties in each agreement that is made, thus fostering balance. Where balance exists, cultures move in harmony, systems evolve and continue to move effortlessly through time. For example, the many cultures of Nature have lived harmoniously for millions of years, in cooperation with one another, creating ecosystems, evolving and adapting to the shifting environment.

It occurred to me that true Peace is the resultant state of Unity. When Unity is achieved, true balance and Peace result. This is a state of equilibrium: the feminine and the masculine energies hold space equally for each other, and, in their respective authorities, fully support one another.

I’ve just finished viewing “God’s Warriors”, which was a three part, 6 hour, “CNN Presents” series hosted by Christian Anmanpor. Each part focused on the extreme elements and philosophies of Judaism, Islam and Christianity, respectively. I found it to be both eye opening and disturbing.
