In Genesis God said to man “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth”
(Gen. 1:28)
Mostly because of Christian doctrine, we believe that humans have been given dominion over every living creature on the earth. Early on, it was believed that only men had dominion over every living creature on the earth, and women were included in the every living creature category. Later it was reinterpreted that only caucasian men were given dominion over everything. I believe that is in error. No, it goes much more deeper than a belief. I have a Divine inner knowing within my Spirit that GODDESS-GOD, the Perfect and All-Knowing CREATOR/SOURCE of Earth Mother and the entire universe would not entrust humanity with dominion over Earth Mother and every other living thing.
You may ask, why venture out on such a weak limb to make such a controversial statement? I make such a controversial statement because humanity in its unenlightened intellectual state of being, in its early immature state of Spiritual awareness, is barley capable of keeping himself/herself alive. The state that we find the world in today is absolute proof evident, that in a major way humanity lacks the ability to govern itself, much less anything else. If the CREATOR of all things known and unknown spoke to humanity and said, you have dominion over every living thing that moves on the earth, the CREATOR was talking about humanity having dominion over its individual selves, and dominion over everything that we are responsible for creating that moves upon the face of the earth. The true meaning of dominion here was misinterpreted by men because it was translated by way of the human intellect and the human ego. The only earth that we have dominion over is ourselves, and our physical bodies. Our physical bodies are a part of the earth; and our physical bodies, come from the earth and are made up of the elements of the earth. Therefore, it is true that we have dominion over a part of the earth, which are our individual selves.
So it is our reality that we have charge, control, and dominion over everything that we create. Primarily we have dominion over everything within us such as our thoughts, words, beliefs, and actions. That is all that we have dominion over, nothing more, and nothing less. Therefore, we need to get our focus in line once again, so that the part that we humans play in the whole scheme of things will enter into balance once again. Even if we have never been taught about this part of our reality and how it works, our imbalance brought on by our ignorance of it is causing harm not only to us, but also to the entire planet.
