The Environment and Me

Our relationship with nature is intimately vital, we function within the benefits of nature since we have to breath, eat and walk on earth. The whole organizational components of nature, such as fire, water, air, earth and how they combine into and nurture human life is also tied closely to the experience of awakening. I see that the divine and earthly strata of my consciousness arise from natures organizational configurations within my consciousness. The physical and heavenly organizations of nature are the driving forces that create our hearts, mind, bodies, societies, worlds, and galaxies. They are all aligned with our individual awareness. Physical and material life is often called the surface values of consciousness, but they are part of one continuum of togetherness. I do not experience a surface separate from any other layer of my awareness.

Perceiving the spontaneous transformation of universal awareness into our daily awareness, into celestial and cosmic values is the expanded story of all our lives. It is the subject of the rise to enlightenment. My physical life began to be known and perceived as part of an over-all continuum. Then all the differences became a unity of awareness, where the space between unbounded consciousness and material existence had found a delightful common ground in my awareness.

There is no real difference between pure-awareness, its knowledge make-up, cosmic, heavenly and personal levels of existence. How they are inter-woven as one phenomenon is really discovered to be our awakening process. The self-aware human being has a see-through, know-through and hear-through relationship with all these inter-acting layers of consciousness and with the all-mighty powers of universal and cosmic activity.
