We Need to Take Responsibility for Our Planet

          Now, as the seasons start to change and weather patterns around the world show us the immense diversity of Creation, we should be giving gratitude to the Higher Intelligence for the beauty and love that he chose for us to live in.

          It is filled with fauna and flora for our delight and for our use, as we require many food sources to keep the expanding global population fed and watered.  They are our responsibility for all to be kept healthy and in good order by allowing cleanliness and safety to all species.

          It is well known that the climate is changing.  That surely is not in dispute, but many people, who have vested interests in pollution and greed, ignore the fact that Mankind is contributing to the disruption and safety of this planet.

          All the signs are there, but those who choose to close their eyes to the consequences by ignoring this folly are like those who sit on a level crossing and ignore the express train that is bearing down on them.

          This arrogance shows that they believe that it is somebody else’s job to stop the train or to clear up the mess afterwards.  However, for most of us, there won’t be an afterwards as the whole globe will perish.

          The burning of fossil fuels is heating the oceans, which are already polluted with plastic waste.  They make up seventy percent of the earth’s surface leaving just thirty percent of dry land for us to live on and feed ourselves.

          So, it becomes obvious that in order to feed the ever-growing population, the resources of the oceans are of vital importance to future generations, as well as to carry heavy cargoes for trade between nations.

          It is through the action of the temperatures and winds over them that the weather patterns effect the land masses and, with warmer waters, the intensity and frequencies of hurricanes and typhoons cause loss of life and structural damage.
                   
          Those, who live in these effected areas, are often powerless to save their homes and whole communities are devastated.  The power of such weather is hard to imagine unless it is experienced and even television doesn’t convey the fear and helplessness it brings.

          It is the same old story of polluted air and forests cut down that upsets the balance of nature, which has been set for the protection from the damaging rays of intense sunlight to change the boundaries of natural farming and agricultural production.

          It cannot continue unabated and it is high time that the world leaders agreed to substantial action and those that will not accept their responsibilities need to be seen for the reasons why – all too often because their jobs are kept safe by lobbies from unfriendly industries.

          There is a growing awareness by the people and ecological institutions of what must be done to save whole communities and protect the vital resources that Mankind needs to survive at all.

           Clean up campaigns are starting to work and Government legislation of the use of non-disposable plastics are slowly taking place, but it is slow and needs to gather a global urgency.

          By Spiritual Law we receive what we have sown.  This applies to all people, nationalities and global responsibilities.  We are all reaping what we have allowed to be done in our name, but it is not too late to reverse the trend.

          All of us have the opportunities to recycle our waste according to where we are.  It is never a good idea to just leave it behind, as climbers have done in our mountain ranges and space travellers still do.  Our skies are full of junk as well as satellites that give us valuable data to upgrade our knowledge.

          Each and every day, we all make decisions as we purchase items and then dispose of the wasted packing materials, which carry what we chose to purchase.  We should discriminate about what is safe to dispose of after use and where we can safely dispose of it.

          This is not a message for the weak-minded and the selfishly inclined.  They will continue to ignore the massive problem that is threatening our livelihoods and the future for our children and grandchildren.

          This is a message from the Higher Intelligence to all those who care.  All those who are positive and have a spiritual mind-set, which tells them that it matters how we behave and that we live together for the Greater Good and not selfishly just for ourselves.

          Those of us who have spent our life walking on this globe, know that there must be standards and morals, which sounds very high-minded, but they are just labels for good behaviour and doing things right.

          Our Creator gave us all a conscience to know right from wrong and the givers live by how it directs them.  The takers turn away from it to live a life of trying to always have what they want at whatever the cost to everybody else.

          It pays to think about tomorrow and to do what we can for the future of our race and for the rest of the living fauna and flora that we were given to enjoy and prosper with.  Do not turn away, but understand that every little act of good sense adds up towards the whole.

It wasn’t the whole load that broke the camel’s back, but that last little bit that was added.  Could that have been yours if you had acted differently?  We need to know that we can make a difference for the better and ‘I’ say Amen to that.”
