I am sure you’ll recognize these words from one of my favorite John Denver songs.
The Earth is our Mother. She feeds us, clothes us, and provides us with a roof over our head; without her love and nourishment supporting us, we probably would not survive into the next millennium.
Science has come to realize that all the technology in the world does not feed the soul. When our spirit is starving, we lose hope and the will to live. Life becomes meaningless and we fade away regardless of what drugs or therapies we pursue. The Earth is more than a repository of minerals and gases. It is a vortex of life sustaining energy. It feeds our bodies, but more importantly, it feeds our souls.
When we walk the Earth absorbing her precious beauty, we feel uplifted and reborn. Her mountains, seas, and valleys teaming with rich vegetation, provide us with an explosion of colors, smells, and sensual delights that transfigures the inner landscape of our minds. She seductively moves us out of logic, releases our stress and soothes our troubled hearts. We remember why life is worth living, just being present in the given moment, embracing our truth, and communing with God.
Isn’t it interesting how often we forget about what is most important in our lives? We get lost in the fabric of our personal dramas. We work so hard trying to get somewhere we lose sight of the one thing that makes it all possible. Nowhere is God, spirit and life more present than in the nature that surrounds us. The more we allow ourselves to receive her gifts, to let her gentle spirit replenish our vital life force, the more we can accomplish in our personal and business lives.
There is a direct correlation between what we take in and what we put out. I call this inflow, "the receptive" (female polarity of our being) and the outflow "the expressive" (male aspect of our being). Now the female polarity is that part that provides us with the ability to receive nourishment, physically, mentally and spiritually. If this aspect is closed down, if we feel unworthy of love, we tend to cut ourselves off from anything that is life sustaining or at least limit it. We are not open to receiving peoples’ love. We eat badly, we get little rest, we work way too hard for way too little and we forget the meaning of play.
Now if we are suppressing the receptive part of our being, the mother or female polarity, we are literally denying our own being what we need most to prosper. Without gas in the engine, we unfortunately travel nowhere. This unhealthy relationship extends to our Earth mother. The less we care for ourselves, the less we care for others. The less we care for others, the less we care for our beautiful Earth.
Now I know you may disagree with me, but check into your truth. How often do you do something really positive and nourishing for your spirit? How often do you do something loving and supportive for the Earth? In spite of our best intentions, the relationships end up being the same. We treat the Earth the same way we treat ourselves, with the same measure of respect and integrity.
This brings up the issue of do we really want to make a difference in this world? Do we really want to realize our highest potential, bring our creative vision to life and share it with our fellow human beings? If this is important, then we will realize we cannot do it alone. We cannot do it without support and love of our fellow human beings, and we cannot do it without the vital life force this planet emanates. It will require a committed and sustained effort. If you eat well one day and eat badly the rest of the week, what do you think will happen? If you receive love one moment and reject it the rest, how will you will feel? If you do not get enough rest or play, how long can you go on and how much will you accomplish? If we honor, value and support the Earth in the same way, what do you think the results will be?
This is our problem. We conveniently forget about taking care of both the Earth and ourselves. Believe it or not, the quality of the relationship we have with ourselves is mirrored in the quality of the relationship we have with others, which is mirrored in the quality of the relationship we have with the world. It’s time to stop abusing ourselves, friends, neighbors and family. When we deny ourselves love, we end up denying love to others. This abuse destroys everything that brings joy and fulfillment into our lives and opens the door to the abuse of this planet. As a result of our abuse, we end up dumping our anger, sadness, pain and our trash, and we deposit them all over our fellow human beings and our beautiful planet. We clog her arteries as we clog our own, and we wonder why the quality of life is diminishing.
It’s time to wake up. It’s time to come home. We have a very special relationship with this world. She has provided a cradle for all of us humans to grow up in. It’s time for us to give thanks for her love, to receive it and return it with our all our hearts. Can you imagine never seeing another sunrise or sunset? Never feeling the wind on your face or watching the clouds dance in the sky? The Earth is our Mother, and she has patiently watched over us for tens of thousands of years. It’s time for us to watch over her, and love her, and respect her, as we would any other human mother.
Let’s open our hearts to her love, patience, beauty, strength and splendor. Let’s drink her cup of golden nectar; we will come alive again and remember why we are here, where we have come from and where we are going. We will remember what love really means and share that love with everyone around us.
We will come back home to our truth, purpose and God. Thank you mother of my being, mother of my heart, and mother of my Earth. We are eternally grateful.
With love and great respect,
Richard Hatch

THE GENTLE ART OF BLESSING
On awakening, bless this day, for it is already full
of unseen good which your blessings will call forth;
for to bless is to acknowledge the unlimited good that
is embedded in the very texture of the universe and
awaiting each and all.
On passing people in the street, on the bus, in places
of work and play, bless them. The peace of your
blessing will accompany them on their way and the aura
of its gentle fragrance will be a light to their path.
On meeting and talking to people, bless them in their
health, their work, their joy, their relationships to
God, themselves, and others. Bless them in their
abundance, their finances...bless them in every
conceivable way, for such blessings not only sow seeds
of healing but one day will spring forth as flowers of
joy in the waste places of your own life.
As you walk, bless the city in which you live, its
government and teachers, its nurses and
streetsweepers, its children and bankers, its priests
and prostitutes. The minute anyone expresses the least
aggression or unkindness to you, respond with a
blessing: bless them totally, sincerely, joyfully, for
such blessings are a shield which protects them from
the ignorance of their misdeed, and deflects the arrow
that was aimed at you.
To bless means to wish, unconditionally, total,
unrestricted good for others and events from the
deepest wellspring in the innermost chamber of your
heart: it means to hallow, to hold in reverence, to
behold with utter awe that which is always a gift from
the Creator. He who is hallowed by your blessing is
set aside, consecrated, holy, whole. To bless is yet
to invoke divine care upon, to think or speak
gratefully for, to confer happiness upon - although we
ourselves are never the bestower, but simply the
joyfull witnesses of Life's abundance.
To bless all without discrimination of any sort is the
ultimate form of giving, because those you bless will
never kmow from whence came the sudden ray of sun that
burst through the clouds of their skies, and you will
rarely be a witness to the sunlight in their lives.
When something goes completely askew in your day, some
unexpected event knocks down your plans and you too
also, burst into blessing: for life is teaching you a
lesson, and the very event you believe to be unwanted,
you yourself called forth, so as to learn the lesson
you might balk against were you not to bless it.
Trials are blessings in disguise, and hosts of angels
follow in their path.
To bless is to acknowledge the omnipresent, universal
beauty hidden to material eyes; it is to activate that
law of attraction which, from the furthest reaches of
the universe, will bring into your life exactly what
you need to experience and enjoy.
When you pass a prison, mentally bless its inmates in
their innocence and freedom, their gentleness, pure
essence and unconditional forgiveness; for one can
only be prisoner of one's self-image, and a free man
can walk unshackled in the courtyard of a jail, just
as citizens of countries where freedom reigns can be
prisoners when fear lurks in their thoughts.
When you pass a hospital, bless its patients in their
present wholeness, for even in their suffering, this
wholeness awaits in them to be discovered. When your
eyes behold a man in tears, or seemingly broken by
life, bless him in his vitality and joy: for the
material senses present but the inverted image of the
ultimate splendor and perfection which only the inner
eye beholds.
It is impossible to bless and to judge at the same
time. So hold constantly as a deep, hallowed, intoned
thought that desire to bless, for truly then shall you
become a peacemaker, and one day you shall,
everywhere, behold the very face of God.
Pierre Pradervand

WALKING WITH PEACE MEDITATION MANTRA
The mantras come from four languages - English, Sanskrit, Arabic, and Hebrew. They are the words for peace in the 5 major spiritual traditions ofthe world: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism.
Peace (English)
Om Shanti (Sanskrit) (oh-mmm shahn-tee)
Salaam (Arabic) (saw-lah-mmm)
Shalom (Hebrew) (shaw-low-mmm)
There is a particular cadence or pace at which the mantras are repeated, and it's important to try to stay with that rhythm, for it creates a vibrational effect in your being and in the atmosphere around you. You are literally aligning with a "peace frequency" and building the strength of that frequency in yourself and on the planet. To create the cadence, pause for about two seconds after the repetition of each mantra and before beginning the next round of repeating them: Peace (pause) Om Shanti (pause) Salaam (pause) Shalom (pause).
Walk at a pace that is comfortable for you. You will find the mantra cadence fitting with your walking pace in some way -- every other step, every third step, etc. Just let it evolve over the course of your walking. You can repeat the mantras silently or out loud. If walking with others, repeating them softly out loud together, and walking at the same pace, is one option, or letting each one walk and repeat silently as guided is fine too. Try to refrain from interrupting the meditation with other conversation - the power of the meditation is in the continuous focus on the mantras, the movement of your body and the intention you hold to presence peace within yourself and in the world.

SPIRITUALITY VERSUS RELIGION
Spirituality says that God is within each of us and we don't need anyone else to make that Divine Connection for us. Religion says that we are separated from God and that we need «them» to make the Divine Connection for us.
Spirituality says that we are free to make choices on our own and that we must take personal responsibility for our actions. Religion says we must make «their» choices and act «their» way.
The theme of Spirituality is unconditional love. The theme of Religion is fear and guilt.
Spirituality does not require us to make donations. Religion has become big business.
Spirituality says there is no hell, no judgement, no angry God ... that we are loved unconditionally. Religion says there is a hell. God gets angry and judges us ... therefore, we are not loved unconditionally.
Spirituality says we are free to choose our own path to God. Religion commands us to do it «their» way.
Spirituality says that we go to God to lighten our burden ... Let Go and Let God. Religion has taught us to fear «their» God.
Spirituality says we should not be ashamed of our sexuality, that it should be a sacred celebration of love. Religion has taught us to feel ashamed, guilty and dirty about our sexuality.
Spirituality teaches us to honor and respect Mother Earth. Religion has told us to «Be thou fruitful, multiply and subdue the Earth.» I repeat ... «Subdue the Earth.» I suspect Jesus and Buddha would have said something like «Act responsibly, honor Mother Earth and always give her your love.»
Spirituality asks that we have children in a responsible way that is consistent with Mother Earth's resources. Religion says that birth control is unnatural, a sin, and that we can go to hell for practicing it. Are they afraid of losing dues-paying members?
Spirituality reminds us that we are one with God and one with each other. Religion teaches disunity and separation, which is the opposite of God.
Spirituality tells us that God is within. Religion says He is in heaven and that «they» are the only intermediaries for us.
Spirituality says that we are born in innocence and purity. Religion says that we are born in sin.
Spirituality teaches that we are on a long spiritual adventure and journey, which will ultimately end by reuniting with Our Source. Religion says that we've got one life to get it all right and there is nothing but heaven or hell after that.
Spirituality says that we are free to express. Religion gave us the dreaded Inquisition.
Spirituality teaches unconditional love for all. Religion gave us the Crusades in which millions were killed and persecuted in the name of God.
Spirituality teaches us that we should love one another unconditionally and always honor the rights and choices of others. Religion treated Native Americans, the Mayans and other Indigenous cultures as savage primitives who must be saved.
Spirituality teaches peace and harmony. Religion has caused more wars and more killing than any other reason.
Spirituality says respect all living things. I never once heard any religion ask that we stop slaughtering millions of trees every year for Christ's birthday.
Spirituality teaches us to have faith in ourselves. Religion teaches us to have faith in «them».
Spirituality says we have all the answers ... that we can find them by going within. Religion teaches us that it has all the answers and only its answers are the right ones.
Spirituality teaches us to search for the Universal Truths and our hearts will tell us when we have found them. Religion teaches we have no choice but to accept «their» version of the truth.
WHICH ONE FEELS BETTER TO YOU?
SPIRITUALITY OR RELIGION?
GO TO YOUR HEART FOR THE ANSWER.
IT WILL NEVER LIE TO YOU.
THE REAL GOD MADE IT THAT WAY.

POEM WRITTEN BY MOTHER THERESA
This poem was written by Mother Teresa and is engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta.
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
We can do no great things - only small things with great love.

EAGLE'S WORDS OF AFFIRMATIONS
Adapted from Prayers and Meditations of the Quero Apache, by Maria Yraceburu (Inner Traditions, 2004).
In times when we need comfort or empowerment, people have often turned to Eagle, the majestic bird of clear sight and power, for reassurance. These words from the Native American Quero Apache tradition offer us ways of being in harmony with our lives and with the universe through the wisdom of Eagle.
You can use these inspiring passages as personal affirmations, or simply read them to bring a greater sense of peace to your heart.
Sacred White Tail, by nature I am unique and there is no limit that can apply to the full potential of my power. The truth of my untouched power has untold possibilities; today I leave the limitations of accomplished fact behind me. I hold onto the possibilities for good in what I believe. The Sacred Parents conspire to bring down peace for All My Relations.
Healing Giver of All Life, I belong to the eternal scheme of things. As I pass a friend I am grateful for her contribution to my wholeness. My perspicacity grows by small increments, but, by trusting in the light of Spirit, true wisdom comes to me.
Healing Changing Mother of All My Relations, all the strength I need is at hand. I let go and let Spirit help me. Everything depends on my relation to Spirit, especially the form of power appropriate to each interest and endeavor.
Healing Higher Power of I am I, it is only humanity that needs to learn wisdom. I listen to the music of today. I am in tune, in rhythm. I am part of the concert's beauty. This leads to the consideration of my true self, and actual purpose.
Healing Light of All That Is, the truths I receive today guide my steps. I move in peace. My actualized self is the avenue through which my ideal self is contemplated.

RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY
«I believe there is an important distinction to be made between religion and spirituality.»
«Religion I take to be concerned with belief in the claims to salvation of one faith tradition or another - an aspect of which is acceptance of some form of meta-physical or philosophical reality, including perhaps an idea of heaven or hell. Connected with this are religious teachings or dogma, ritual, prayers and so on.»
«Spirituality I take to be concerned with those qualities of the human spirit - such as love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, a sense of responsibility, a sense of harmony, which bring happiness to both self and others.»
- His Holiness, the Dalai Lama -

TEN SECRETS TO BECOMING A CATALYST FOR WORLD TRANSFORMATION
These secrets are meant to be shouted from roof tops and implemented to the extreme. Each one can be hugely life changing when you integrate it into your life.
This is your official invitation to do so at a higher level than you are currently. Now is the time to join together with passion.
The first step towards this change is changing you. Pick a secret and go with it. Now begin.
1. Choose to have only one way of being: living intentionally, deliberately, purposefully and be consistent to that no matter what hat you are wearing be endeavor towards your larger vision.
2. Reach inside when you hit obstacles. Instead of looking outside yourself by playing a subtle blame game, go deeply within instead. Uncover how you could make a different decision and then take focused, purposeful action accordingly.
3. Reach out to others, sharing your discoveries and thoughts with those inside your circle of influence and those outside your circle of influence. World transformation begins with communicating our beliefs into being.
4. Integrate your truth down to the cellular level. In acting from this level of belief, your transformation will be able to become visible to others. The sense of empowerment will then spread from you to others whose lives with whom you are in contact.
5. Facilitate growth of those around you through mentoring, coaching, teaching, and creating purposeful relationships. Even a "one minute relationship" may have life changing results! Be aware of possibilities in each conversation with each person you meet everyday.
6. Communicate with the power of a laser and the expansiveness of prosperous words. Make each word count. Practice this skill joyfully. Eliminate words of fear, scarcity and lack replacing them with words of love, abundance and prosperity.
7. Meet each person you encounter exactly where they are with love and compassion. Look into their eyes when you talk with them and really REALLY hear their words. Challenge them to no longer accept the status quo.
8. Effectively use your unique gifts rather than living according to someone else's expectations for you. Embrace your gifts as yours. Trying to express someone else's specialness creates counterfeit personal currency. Your gifts are riches like gold and silver.
9. Take passionate action every day. Do not miss a single day. As you are moving seriously towards world transformation, do not settle for manic action. Demand of yourself intentional, love filled, laser focused action. The results will speak volumes.
10. Laugh, cry, love, nurture, applaud with passion! Be alive in all things, whether it be in quiet contemplation of raucous celebration. Spread that aliveness.
Transform your life and in turn transform Your World.
