The Gaia
concept is as old as consciousness. It seems odd to western society because we
are so detached from the inerturnings of the world & are caught up in our
"superior intellectual pursuits". One can not find Gaia in intellectual
pursuits. The truth is that we all have experience with nature spirits. We may
not have much experience with lets say trucking, but it is never the less an
integral part of our lives which affects us every day. Foods, hardware, mail
etc. Now if you wanted to find out about trucking you could go about it.
Research, talking to truckers, mechanics, one could even get a job at it to
understand it better. But Nature Spirits???? Oh my gosh, what a mystery!! In
fact it is no different, less common or difficult to understand than trucking.
Most people are not even aware that they are incredibly shallow breathers
until it is pointed out to them, or that they walk off balance with one food
pointed out or in, or even that they have no control over their thoughts, they
can't turn them off. Nature Spirits/Gaia is not even a concept. It's like a
bunch of people sitting around trying to talk about Chris (me) as a concept.
It doesn't make sense. But if they meet me, well that makes sense (well maybe
not) The trick with Gaia is that it is an attention. Step out in the woods and
focus your attention on nature spirits and they're just simply there. The real
problem that we face is not in seeing/feeling Nature Spirits but in turning
off the drumming in our heads that we have been thought that they do not
exist.

Some native American cultures believe that the ground we stand
on is on the back of a turtle.
'Michael do you have any knowledge of the
Hieda and their truth regarding the old growth Cedar trees?'
I do not have
much experience with nature spirits, some not much.
Here is what D.
Cruse had to say when I questioned him about the Taoist belief that THE WAY to
live fully was through total union with NATURE. I am sure this is "old hat" to
most on the list.
"Steiner expanded on the past with a scientifically
disciplined clairvoyance.
Ancient world views are the result of a past
non-critical level of spiritual
awareness, that which Barfield called
'original participation'; what
Steiner's work represents is the beginning
of 'final participation' in which
we take the scientific method that we
have learned in relation to NATURE and
apply it now to the the SPIRIT
(which is the inside of nature). His work,
therefore, is the beginning of
something completely new where spirituality
is concerned." - D.
Cruse
Maybe Eve will get him to read this and he might have more to
say?

That was really good about the heart, that 60% of the cells are

hurting and I thought of Joseph Chilton Pearce's writing.
Also,
concerning GAIA, do any of the people working with the Nature Beings have
insights. At Findhorn they said large geographical areas have angels,
and in the book Ephesus, Giants Work with the Large Land Masses? Dora
Van Gelder wrote that Trees have intelligences (kind of like Lord of the
Rings). Anyone encounter an earth being like a GAIA? Did Steiner
write about it? Didn't he compare the Universe to a human
body?

Hi
Eric, anthroposophical is as anthroposophical does. Check out Joseph Chilton
Pearce's cutting edge elucidations of research in neurocardiology. The
holographic heart is not just microcosmic of the earth's radiant energy.
Man, you don't know how right you are!
