I am now a strong believer of Gaia. I believe that planet earth is a collective conciousness, and part of that conciousness is us, Humans! Ever piece of life that exists on this planet is part of gaia. Humans are the most "concious" part, so we are expected to do the most work to help maintain a balance. Te majority of present day man has gone off on an evil tangent that has detrsoyed the natural connection that we share with our enviroment, or better put, our connection with Gaia! During the sixties "hippies" started expermineting with psychedelics like LSD and espescially psilocybin mushrooms. Out of these experiences we found people that cared more about helping earth than gaining power and possesion. This was the beginng of the evolutionary reconnection with Gaia! The psilocybin mushroom exists as part of Gaia to help man re establish the connection! The mushroom exists so that those that have destinies of great prevelance, can find there path and be re assured that they will succeed.

My "god" is gaia. I put my faith into gaia, i know that i have a purpose and i will not "die" untill it is full filled. If you put your faith in gaia, for the good of all life, gaia will protect you, i believe it.

throug the mushroom dampened channells of communication with the spirit of earth are reoppened so that we can go back and restablish an equilibrium.

Gaia has a purpose for you, what is your purpose?

peace and love and happiness.

I would love to believe all this if it only made sense to me but it doesn't. Humans have always been brutal and power hungry as far as history shows. And there has always been a small steady percentage that is not inclined that way. I don't think that balance has ever changed much and there is no evidence that it is about to now. There is plenty of wishful thinking however and I understand why perfectly. To think that our brutish nature rules the day and always will is frankly, to me, an ugly, frightening thought. But it is what I think. I think eventually our little light will blink for that last moment and then go out forever. And if life is how it appears I think that may be for the best.

"My "god" is gaia."

Then what is "Gaia's" God?

The sun of course :smile:

I don't think he ment god in the usual religious sense. Anything that your life depends on and you love, you could call your god.


"Gaia has a purpose for you, what is your purpose?"

To be alive for as long as possible. :mushroom2:

To enjoy life as much as possible, and to share this joy with as many as possible.

"The sun of course :smile:"

To that I would ask, "Then what is the sun's God?". :smirk:

I was considering writing that in my previous post, but I figured I would be better of giving my definition of a god instead. Since we could otherwise go on forever saying "and what would be Xs god?". A god is a subjective matter, so only something which can have a subjective opinion could say it has a god. I'm pretty damn sure the sun is not consious nad thus has no god. I'm personaly also sure that the eco-system (aka Gaia) hasn't got any opinions either, and thus has no god. My sun god was a joke :smile:

I do really like the Gaia consept though. It's healthy, and we would be better of if more people believed in it. (I personaly don't believ that the planet has an intension, but I like the philosophy and life style - don't use more resources than you need [aka, don't be greedy]).
