It's an amazing thing to consider the course human history would have taken if all the great religions of the world emphasized the fact that the Earth is a living being. Shamanistic cultures know this as practically second nature. However, Jesus never taught it. Jehovah never taught it, Allah never taught it. Krishna never taught it and NOT EVEN THE BUDDHA taught it.
You would think that AT LEAST the Buddha would have taught the Earth is a living being considering it was his oneness with Nature that was the source of his enlightenment. As far as I know, not even the Tao teaches that the Earth is a living being!!!
THIS ONE TEACHING WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY, If all ancient religions taught it. Because it was not taught in all ancient religions mankind has allowed SCIENCE to rape, abuse, pollute and bring the Earth to the brink of ecological destruction.
So, I wonder what it would take for the Earth to convince the human race that it is a living being. Knowing, for a fact, that idiot humans tend to take quick notice when death strikes, I would imagine it would take Mother Nature killing BILLIONS OF PEOPLE as a minimum requirement for the rest to WAKE UP to the fact that the Earth is a living being that MUST be respected as a living being if the rest of humanity is to survive.
Indeed. Considering the coarse, calloused insensitivity of the conceited, know-it-all scientific human race it would probably take...
THE DEATH OF BILLIONS to convince them!
All the skeptic idiots would most probably have to die in a surgically precise Mother Nature rampage of death. When the rest of humanity suddenly realized that most of everyone who died was dishonorable, atheists and blind faith skeptics the rest of humanity would consider how selective Mother Nature was in Her killing rampage. Let's face reality. Generally speaking, the worst people in human society are atheists. Do you really think hardened criminals have any real belief and love for God? I DON'T THINK SO!!
The survivors, of Mother Nature's killing rampage, would then seriously consider that ancient shamanistic cultures were indeed correct and...
THE EARTH IS A LIVING BEING!!
