And Aesop’s fable.
Hello and welcome to another WhollyMetaphysical Communiqué.
This morning I was reading Shakti Gawain’s book ‘Return to the Garden, which is about her personal journey of discovery and her return to the garden of her soul and her connection to the earth. It is also about the possibility of each of us returning to our own soul garden and living life in a balanced and natural way.
Shakti is one of the shining lights from the eighties and along with her books and tapes played a significant role in my own transformation to living in the light.
Each of us as we make our own journey has to achieve a harmonious balance between our spiritual and physical self, and to learn that all things are connected.
In the chapter ‘Learning from the Earth’ she says, “…many of the ancient peoples, also understood their place as part of the great family of Earth. We can learn much by studying their ways and bringing forward those ideas and practices which can help us. Not that we need to, or can, return to the past, but within their way of life was and still is a great way of wisdom, which we with our vast sophisticated wisdom have lost. We must find that innate wisdom again, and use our technical knowledge, not to destroy but to enhance and protect the Earth.”
As a beautiful example of the great wisdom of the past, she sites Chief Seattle’s Letter. As I was reading this I realized that this is a wisdom we all need to reconnect with to strengthen our understanding of God in all Things, especially inside us, and that we are all one.
