The richer mankind becomes, the less individuals believe in the sources of their wealth. In past times, the human race looked at the Earth in all its magnificence, sensed the invisibility of it’s nature and saw it as the mother of all nourishment, and life force for all that dwell there. The more you take from it the more it replenishes.
From a flower pushing up under a stone to the tiniest insect or the butterfly trying to resume it’s life cycle. Only humans have the power to choose and they blindly go forward, trying to outdo nature with buildings of magnificent structure, but the invisible power of Mother Earth can destroy at will.
You cannot blow out life as you can a candle. The Masters say, when two or three are circled in prayer, there I will be in the centre, for as I am the light, so you are the rays.
