Planet – Plan-it – Plant (Part Two): DAY 495


Planet – Plan-it – Plant (Part Two): DAY 495


So, in the next post – I will continue with how we individually and collectively can root ourselves into this real world, unite our stand and living in this real world and take responsibility for our lives, for life on earth – because if we as individuals don’t start standing up and becoming living as well as leading examples of what it means to honour life – our own and that of everything / everyone else here in this physical existence…no one will. Essentially – we have to PLANT ourselves into this physical existence and through our actions and living – contribute to life on earth. What it would practically mean to PLANT ourselves into this physical existence…I will continue with in the next post…

What is interesting when observing ourselves, is that: we very seldom consider our physical body as a living organism…a living organism that is very much a part of this physical existence and very much dependent on this physical existence for its survival. We do (and this also only when we are fortunate) nurture and care for our physical bodies to ‘stay alive’ / ‘survive’ / ‘be healthy’ / ‘live longer’ – essentially, you can have a look at your relationship with your physical body and determine for yourself the reasons why you take care of it / what your primary relationship with your physical body is. Again, many will find that your relationship with your body extends only to being conscious of your personal relationship with it…very seldom do you consider its interconnectedness and dependency on the rest of everything and all else physical that is here in and on this Earth.

What is fascinating here is how we have primarily defined our relationship with our physical bodies through the world system / media ‘out there’ – where many have trouble with ‘body image’ / ‘beauty’ and many others have trouble with staying alive in various ways because of war, poverty, starvation etc. An interesting point to consider here is how many of the Elite in this world (people with money who survive on a daily basis), have more of a daily awareness of external appearance and this you can test for yourself with having a look at how much and how often you think about what you look like…So, we have more of an awareness of external appearance, than realising the extent of responsibility we as individuals have when it comes to the whole world, because we are a physical body, in this physical existence and our physical bodies is dependent on this physical existence for its survival…so, why have we not individually and collectively stood in this one singular point of responsibility to take care of this world to care for our bodies and so ourselves to have the best life/living experience possible individually as well as collectively?
The point I would like to bring to your awareness here is how the masses have been conditioned with regards to the relationship with the physical body to such an extent, that very little of our awareness ever considers the body and the body’s relationship to this physical existence. Many may say “why should I care?” – which brings me to the point of what is contributing in human consciousness to the consequence we are creating in the relationship to our bodies and this physical existence as a whole…why the masses are not PLANTED into and as the Ecosystem of this Earth / physical existence and contributing to life on earth, but in fact contributing to the destruction of it all…

So, what is contributing to this “why should I care?” tendency we have is the dimensions of ‘automation and abdication of responsibility’ – what does this mean?
Because our physical body functions predominantly ‘on its own’ – bar for us having to feed it, we tend to only align our self-awareness to our bodies when something goes wrong. So, only when  something goes wrong in your body do you genuinely consider your body more / have more regard for it, to only when it’s better – essentially ‘forget about it’, because ‘the body takes care of itself, automatically’…we don’t even have to ‘think to breathe’, the body breathes for us. In this dependency on ‘automation’, we have created a dimension of ‘abdication of responsibility’. Meaning: as soon as the body feels better and everything is okay, we go back into our minds, leave the body to its automation and so leave our responsibility to our bodies and root ourselves back into our Minds where we focus our awareness more on our Mind’s relationship to ourselves and to the body. It’s like; we’re only ever rooted into our bodies, considering it, only thinking about its welfare when something goes wrong.
If we have a look at our relationship to the world out there – everyone is only ever concerned about the world / world events when ‘things go wrong’ or reaches a certain level where it goes ‘really wrong / more wrong than usual’. It’s like we have lost touch with our own bodies and the world out there to such an extent that we’ve reached a level of ‘acceptance’ of consequence in our minds, bodies and the world out there – where there is always a certain level of things going wrong – you know, the usual, of money, wars, violence, poverty, disease, starvation but it ever so often reaches a climax and then our attention diverts to it more than usual…

We have left our bodies, this physical existence – in such a way where we have gone into an accepted-automation of ‘the body generally takes care of itself, I can continue existing in my Mind’, of ‘the world / the earth will take care of itself, I will only focus on my personal mind/life’ – in this is the very act of abdicating the responsibility we have towards ourselves, each other and earth as a whole. We have not been self-aware of this responsibility, because we have not rooted / planted our awareness, our self, into an equal and one responsibility of our own bodies and the ‘body of existence’ as the earth and everything/everyone within and as it.

So, we’ll in the next post continue with having a look at the dimension of acceptance, automation and abdication of responsibility when ‘things go wrong’ in our mind-body relationship and our relationship to the world out there – especially why and how it is that we as a collective do not stand together / have evolved to a point where we can adjust our relationships and the systems in the world to unite to PREVENT what’s happening and find sustainable long-term solutions – but rather have gone into this acceptance of ‘things are generally wrong / bad’. We’re going to have a look at how this is one dimension separating us from our rootedness and responsibility to ourselves, each other and the world as a whole – uniting to develop this ecosystem of life on earth to the betterment of all and so ourselves.

  1. Living in awareness of my own body and applying the principles of prevention are major keys! Thanks.
