June 2014
Dear Reader,
The
teachings in this month’s letter came through over seven years ago. They feel
prophetic and timely as we hear about and face the events that fill the news
everyday: fires, droughts, floods, ice storms, and more. These events are beginning
to change what we do and how we do it, and they will do so even more in the
coming days and years. In just the last few weeks, new reports*
have confirmed that we are in the throes of climate change, it’s going to get
worse, and the earth is undergoing changes that are dire and unstoppable.
The
crisis that we face is not an environmental one, but a spiritual one. The
desecration of the natural environment has come about because we have forgotten
that we live in a sacred dimension, that all is sacred. As Maresha said in last
month’s Messages, “The real tragedy is that our
separation from the sacred is completely unnoticed and unreported.” We continue
to put our greed and self-aggrandizement ahead of the earth, and we fail to
teach our children, “The place whereon thou standest is Holy ground.” The
consequences of our forgetting cannot easily be undone. As individuals on a
spiritual path in these changing times, we must uphold the Absolute by being
kind and doing no harm, and by keeping faith with our own hearts and with the
earth.
love, Janah
