The Myth of Scarcity | Vital Roots 002

A narrative has been going around that is very keen on ensuring the masses believe there are too many human beings on Earth. When I hear this one come out of someone’s mouth as the core explanation for the challenges of humanity, I can’t help but sigh and wonder how there could ever be too many people in an inherently abundant realm.

Visit the forest if you haven’t in awhile and maybe you’ll see what I mean… The over-population narrative is antithetical to Life, as are many of the rampant narratives trying to make you feel guilty for being alive.

Who gets to have the children, if less people is really the solution? This is the zinger of forbidden questions.

Since creating Life is the most profound, mysterious, and sacred aspect of our human potential, no wonder man and woman are under attack from every angle. I definitely do not think the major environmental issues we are experiencing are because of over-population – the imbalance we’re all feeling is fundamentally due to an extreme deficit of personal responsibility and separation from the natural world that gives us Life. In other words, it is how you live, not the fact that you do indeed live! This applies to all of us on an individual level and of course, that is what creates the collective situation.

There are some aspects of life and how most humans live where the damage is seemingly unavoidable. Yet, I truly believe our entire way of living and the impact of every moment of our lives could be re-imagined if we were in mindful harmony with the evident Truths of our natural world. There is no need for the concept of waste or garbage, for example. Really, not too long ago, a human being was, in essence, a warrior of natural law. Respect for the Earth was immense, necessary, and at the core of every day life.

For the record, I don’t subscribe to consensus human history that was pushed on me my whole life. Evolution is still just a theory by the way and the longer an idea is admitted to be an unproven theory, the less credible it becomes. Yet for some reason, most people act like it’s a defined, untarnishable fact.

Ok — if I continue on that trajectory I’ll never get this published and this one single journal will turn into my life’s work!

Continuing on.

Humans have a higher potential and higher calling than rubbish. From my vantage point, humans – at best – are magnifiers of beauty as an extension of the Creator. That is. in my eyes, your most purposeful mission here: to build upon the perfect creation that is Earth and to add your unique fingerprint to the mosaic of all of time in this realm.

I hold humanity in high regards and I see that ultimately, being human means having the capacity to steward and love the mysterious creation with each action and day of Life. There is always the inverse potential lurking over your shoulder, too, of course. That is what makes this Life a mission, something worth doing, and a challenge. Ultimately, potential is what makes Life exciting and sets the stakes super high.

What I see as a necessary part of the future for Life here on Earth: humans coming to terms with their current way of living. What I know as ‘life’ has to shift, has to become redefined, and I have to strive for the highest possible good in all of my choices. It could be summarized as doing my best and holding myself accountable to show up and being brutally honest with myself. I hold the vision of an Earth that exists in a harmonious state, including humans as one part of the web of Life rather than at the center.

Much of what has gone wrong here, in my opinion, is the byproduct of rotting human souls – an abduction of sorts, and to me it seems like there is an aspect of lineage involved. This realm is far more than we perceive and it is far more than we can perceive. Spiritual war is the war of wars. Embodying as a human is extremely sought after, just remember that.

I don’t think you or me can fathom the intensity and depravity of the greed that must posess a human to develop, implement, and proliferate intentionally explosive systems. The magnitude of cowardice that fuels the tentacles of this mess baffles me deeply.

Sometimes I wonder what really defines a human being and I also wonder if the rotting ones could ever possibly fit that definition? I am not naive and certainly know that a human can fall verrrrrrrrrry far into oblivion and still, somehow, find their way back to the surface.

I’m open to consider all of the angles.

Yet, just like a foot print on a sandy shore, a single action leaves an imprint on this realm that cannot be quantified. The ripples and impact are unforeseeable. You can completely alter the future with one choice. This is the super power that every one posesses. To breathe a single breath is to be in direct reciprocity with the entire, boundless cycle of the air you breathe. This is your nondiscriminatory connection to the web of Life.

Clearly, the design is for you to be with the rhythms of creation and when you mirror the effortless flow of the creek, you heal, grow and so the ripples go…
