Dirt! The Movie Trailer

.




dirt! THE MOVIE



Dirt takes center stage in this entertaining yet poignant documentary from Bill Benenson and Gene Rosow, which unearths our cosmic connection to soil and explores how diverse groups of people are uniting to save the natural resource. Drawing inspiration from William Bryant Logan's book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, the filmmakers combine lively animations with personal accounts from farmers, scientists, activists and more.

Know Thyself!

.



FROM WITHIN THE SPIRIT of

Baba Kundi Ma`at-Shambhala


Greetings Beloved,


I pray that in the Precious Now Moment that we have been blessed with by The DIVINE, that we will allow the Universe to freely channel to us everything that has already been provided for us since before the beginning of time. It is time that we allow that which we may in error still interpret as needs, desires, and that which we pray and hope for, that which we still think of as being almost impossible or miraculous to be a part of our amazing existence, in order that we can live life as we are called to by The DIVINE. Additionally, we will share that which we posses, especially the abundance of Unconditional Love that is planted deep within us by The DIVINE within our Spirit with everyone and everything that we come in contact with. In addition, when we come in contact with others who have issues and a need to make changes in their life, that we take that as a sign to examine ourselves and not time to point a finger at them, because we know that they are, and we are all simply reflections of each other. We are one in the same; we are all in the same boat of life together, we are all members of the same body. That means if one is in need of help, we all are in need of help.

WOMAN, MAN KNOW THYSELF!


The most important thing we can do in the present moment of this lifetime is open up completely to The DIVINE so that we know our True Self, which mean to come to know our Spiritual Self, our Higher Self. For you and I to know who we truly are would answer every single question of this lifetime. Knowing who we are puts us smack dab in the middle of our personal Paradise, reveals to us our very own piece of heaven right here on earth. Knowing who we truly are produces so much Unconditional Love, Joy, and Sacred Energy within our Spirit and total being, that our reality will be transformed all around us in the twinkling of an eye. To truly know ourselves awakens us to the Divine Truth that we are who some call Supernatural-beings. However, in true reality, every human being is a Supernatural-being. To know thyself, is to be true to oneself. To be true to oneself, is to be complete and whole Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. To be whole, is to be consciously one with DIVINE UNIVERSAL INTELLIGENCE. In ancient times, Know Thyself was written over the Temple doors in Egypt, it was also written over some of the Temple doors in Greece. It is a Divine charge given to the whole of humanity by The DIVINE.


Now that we have entered the age of enlightenment, we have entered the age where everything is being brought into the True Light of Divine Understanding. We must face ourselves and take full responsibility for our every thought, word, and action. We cannot afford to be content having other people and outside energies lead us around and control us. It is time to wipe the sleep from our eyes and see the Glory of The DIVINE that is in us, as well as all around us in abundance. You and I are a Divine Creation. Why is that so? That is so because you and I are not made in the image and likeness of DIVINE ONENESS (MOTHER/FATHER GODDESS/GOD) we are much greater then that, you and I Are One with DIVINE ONENESS (MOTHER/FATHER GODDESS/GOD).


We must constantly remind ourselves that we are Divine Beings in every way because we are Spiritual Beings. If we fail to do that, we fall deeper and deeper into the illusion of the abyss of despair and hopelessness that permeates the so many people in the world today. You and I are what we have been looking for, as the hope of this world. Once you, I, and everyone else are able to see what we can do when we come to truly know who we are, Know Thyself, we will seek out what we possess within our very own Spirit, and come to know True Spiritual Reality once again, in the same way that we have eternally known True Spiritual Reality.


In the beginning of our transformation of coming to know ourselves, it will be a little challenging, that is due to the old faulty programs we have been following for so many lifetimes. At times, we may slip into some of our old beliefs, old ways of doing things, and old ways of thinking, simply because of habit, that is why we must remain ever conscious of our every thought, word, and action. When we slip, we must not get discouraged, because living the way that we have been living for so long it is a natural occurrence to slip a little as we get acquainted with our True Reality. When we have done something repeatedly for such a long period, we tend to move into the realm of what could be labeled life’s autopilot. If we are totally committed to truly knowing ourselves and being all that we are created to be, everything that is counterfeit, and that which is not supposed to be a part of our experience here will pass away, and everything will yield to Divine Will and Divine Order.



We are not in this experience called life all alone. DIVINE UNIVERSAL INTELLIGENCE is with us eternally. When we slip a little, all we have to do is acknowledge our mistake, stand tall with our head up, and move forward once again following the direction of SPIRIT.

Heaven, An Inside Job

.






Heaven, An Inside Job


Did you know that heaven is an inside job? Yes, we have been duped into believing that heaven is out there somewhere in the by-and-bye, in our very distant future, and heaven is only available to those who follow certain christian principles. I do not know the origin of that lie, however I do know that it is just that, a lie. Our first conscious experience with heaven through our human consciousness was in the heaven of our mother’s womb. Yes, our mother’s womb is one of the most precious places known as heaven. I may not know the origin of this lie, however I do know the reason for this lie. We are taught the lie that heaven and God is somewhere off in the bye-and-bye, that lie was designed and told to us to rob us of our Precious Sacred Innate Spiritual Creative Power. We are told that we should look to heaven, look to the sky for the Divine Guidance we seek and need. I agree 100% that we should look to heaven, or in other words look to the sky for Divine Guidance. However, the heaven and sky I am speaking of is, the heaven and sky that is within our Spirit. The heaven within us is the Sacred Place where The DIVINE our most Sacred MOTHER/FATHER GODDESS/GOD dwells.



“SACRED WOMAN, Your Womb Is Heaven, and every human being must enter into this physical realm through the “Gates of Heaven.” Every SACRED WOMAN that has forgotten this Divine Reality is being shaken and awakened to it, as we all enter into this Divinely appointed Age of Spiritual Awakening.”


This excerpt comes from: Sacred Woman (A Sacred Man’s Perspective)



The reason why we are experiencing life in the way that we are today is very simple. We have unplugged ourselves, from our most Precious and Omnificent Sacred Power Source, the most Precious Omnificent Sacred Power Source I am speaking of is none other than the Divine Intelligence of GREAT SPIRIT that resides within our very own Spirit. Within our very own Spirit is the only authentic Spiritual dwelling place. Once again, I am speaking of Heaven the place of Divine Reality. We must embark on a Sacred Journey of the Heart, our Spiritual Sojourn, and consciously return to that Sacred Dwelling Place that we call and know as Heaven.


When it comes to that which is Spiritual, that which houses our True Inner Inexhaustible Spiritual Power, we have been sold a boatload of partial truths, and a form of pure deception. That deception is, we are sinners in need of a savior, and we can do nothing for ourselves outside of submitting to that savior which is outside of ourselves. We have accepted the following. We are powerless little beings waiting to be saved from our ugly sinful selves by the coming Christ. A major deception that totally derails our journey through this dense physical realm is as follows. We need to confess and accept Jesus Christ as our lord and savior to save us. Then we must wait for his physical return. What we are taught about the Christ is an intentional deceptive half-truth, which was specifically designed for the sole-purpose of disempowering us, robbing us of our Spiritual Awareness and Creative Power. If a thing is not whole, it is impossible for it to be what it was created to be, and impossible for it to function in the way it was intended to function. That is why humanity and the world is in the condition we find it here in the year 2010.


We have been taught by some, that God is out of reach of us while we are in physical form here on this physical plane. That is one of the main reasons why Jesus had to come to earth. God in the form of a man come to earth to commune with its human creation. A very important thing was left out. A creation will always be a part of its creator, especially when the creator is the Eternal Spiritual Energy known to us as GREAT SPIRIT, the Oneness between the Creation and The CREATOR goes far beyond being Precious and Powerful, in its nature alone it is DIVINE. This reminds me of something written in chapter 24 of the book, oneness the teachings, a book that I believe everyone should read.



The inclination to place the concept of God in an exalted position within the framework of a personal philosophy is at the root of all that holds one back in one’s experience of God. For God is not within you to be worshipped, or feared, or even to be understood, but rather, to be experienced and known. The very act of the exultation of the Divine creates a delineation between that Divine presence and oneself—a state of separation that constitutes a barrier to the very connection that one most fervently wishes to realize.


The God within all life does not seek to be placed on a pedestal, but hopes to be discovered as the source of one’s own essence. The God to whom you pray and from whom you beg mercy or miracles is no more capable of manifesting the answer to your prayers than you are. The only difference between you and God is that God knows it—and you don’t.


This excerpt comes from: oneness the teachings



To exalt The DIVINE above ourselves is just as bad as placing The DIVINE far off out of reach somewhere in the bye-and-bye. The DIVINE is not above us or outside of us, because we are one with The DIVINE. Just as it is so clearly points out in the book oneness the teachings. The DIVINE is not within us to be worshiped or feared. GODDESS/GOD is LOVE and because LOVE is the most powerful of all, it can have no association whatsoever with the negative inadequate energy known as fear. So that tells me that the teaching that we are to have the fear of God in our hearts, is a false teaching, designed specifically to mislead and disempower us. There are similar faulty teachings such as the wrath of God, and the vengeance of God. All of that nonsense, as well as other things like that, can only be associated with limited physical human characteristics and the finite human intellect. Humanity has tried its best through its shortsighted feeble human mentality to define GODDESS/GOD in such a way. Self-centered human beings are the only creatures that seek to be placed on a pedestal above all other forms of creation. Take a close look at nature in its vast array of forms and you will see how nature fully embraces oneness. If you ever find a part of nature that does not embrace oneness, it is due to the unnatural influence of humanity upon it.


Human beings go around seeking, praying for, and begging for that which is already a part of us. To paraphrase what I shared with you from the book oneness, the only difference between GODDESS/GOD and you and me, is as follows. GODDESS/GOD resides in the Divine State of the Oneness of the Whole of Creation. However, even though that is our Divine reality, we humans still seek oneness while we are smack-dab in the middle of the Sacred Relationship of Oneness. Such an attitude is reflected in almost everything that we think, say, and do. We go around feeling needy, because we are not focusing on the eternal abundance that has always been a part of our eternal being. If we are part of the Oneness of The DIVINE, we are part of the Unlimited Spiritual Abundance that is within our Spirit, as well as the physical abundance that is all around us.

Passion

.






Passion


My Beloved Sisters and Brothers; recently I have had a couple of my sisters voice some concern about my scripted words. They were concerned whether I was going through something because of what they said they were feeling in my writings. What I shared entitled The Simple Life happens to be one of such that aroused a few concerns and responses here lately. I want you all to know this, and I am sure many of you already know this. I am very passionate about everything that I do. Because of my inner passion, I truly feel and experience to some degree everything I share with you, as well as everything that I think, say, and do. You should know this about me. Some of what I share with you here on Essence Blogesphere is what I wrote a number of years ago when I was sending out daily inspirational e-mails. When I feel the urge to share something I wrote in the past, I do so. Sometimes I even revise the older scripted words that I share with you, and the energy you feel is my passion from the past when I originally wrote it, and/or my passion from the present revision. However, whatever energy you feel it is a good thing, because opening up and releasing through different forms of communication is a good thing.


Many times people tend to feel that the sharing of something that is less then positive, such as sharing your anger or something that you dislike that has been done to another or ones-self is not befitting of someone who is supposed to be on the Spiritual Path. However, that could not be further from what we should do. Our emotions are natural occurrences, and we should express them in ways that do not hurt others. However, if we suppress our less then pleasant emotions and hold them in, we will surely harm ourselves in some way because it will cause stress within our Spirit. Our emotions are signals that we must acknowledge and deal with, and avoiding to speak them and address them is not the proper way to acknowledge them. We must remember this; it takes a perfect balance between the positive and the negative for things to flow smoothly as they are designed to do. There is a proper way to express everything that is a part of this experience called life. Our individual duty is to find the proper way to do such, a way that will honor SPIRIT, those who are a part of our lives, the Whole of Creation, and us. Avoiding an emotion because of what people may think or say is definitely not the way to go.


One of the major problems humanity has developed is becoming emotionally disconnected from life, when a person disconnects emotionally, that person looses his or her passion for Love and life. The saddest thing about that is, true passion is the Sacred Energy that fuel our Spirit. Passion is the Sacred Energy that makes our dreams come true, it is also the Sacred Energy that provides us with the needed atmosphere for the miraculous to happen. Can you imagine being in Love and not being passionate about that Love? There is no Love without passion. The lost of passion is one major reason why many Love relationships eventually reach the end of their road. We should, no, we must always be passionate about everything that we do, if there is no passion in what we are doing, we should not be doing that which we are doing. This experience called life is all about passion; a passion for life is a necessity.


Therefore, I will always be passionate about my life and everything that is a part of my life. However, within your passion for a true and honest relationship with me, please do not hesitate to say something to me when you feel that my passion needs tweaking. I will always be passionate about that which I do; however, I cannot say that I will always be correct in everything that I do. Yes, we must be passionate about what we do. However, we must do that which is proper. Again, it is proper to express in a passionate way that I dislike something. However, my passion must not be malicious.

The Simple Life

.







The Simple Life


I long to live the simple life, a life minus all of the human deception, selfishness, and all of the unnatural control issues mankind orchestrates under the guise of our best interest. I have had my absolute fill of man’s self-centered corrupt ways of living and manipulating each other and the Whole of Creation. I have not given up hope on the human race. However, I am feed up with the way we humans act as if the entire universe is supposed to exist to serve our limited narrow desires. The human race has misused almost everything it has been entrusted with, especially and our kindred family we share this physical realm with, the beloved Animal Kingdom. What will it take to wake up the human race? The Animal Kingdom must watch us in complete disgust and absolute horror as we destroy just about everything we touch and lay our eyes on, including each other. We have lost our Divine Connection to Oneness. The Oneness I am speaking of is the Oneness of the Whole of Creation. For humanity to think it is about all other forms of creation is one of the biggest mis-takes it has made. In the past, I was just as guilty as everyone else. But I am so grateful to GREAT SPIRIT that Unconditional Love remained alive and well within my Spirit and one day, years ago my eyes where opened and I started to clearly see my error in the way I was relating to and living life. The simple life is the only life. Yet, humankind continues to do all that it can to compromise and complicate our existence her on Earth Mother, this fabulous piece of Paradise.


Will humanity as a whole ever wake up? I really do not know if humanity will wake up or not. Sometimes as I watch what is done in the name of God and humanity, I do not think it will ever wake up. Nevertheless, I know this. We will not be allowed to destroy the Wonder-Full Creation that was gifted to us by LOVE ITSELF. We must not be so ignorant; the human race does not possess such power. Humankinds big problem is, its ass is on its shoulders. When I say; “Humankinds big problem is, its ass is on its shoulders,” I mean that the human ego, which is the foulest odor of all odors, has been placed in control of their lives, and that foul ego is bent on destroying everything in its path, even its own family. The only thing that has value to them is material possessions. The real sad thing is this; humanity thinks it is superior to all other forms of creation. Hey, even a rock is more intelligent and more connected to GREAT SPIRIT then such a confused human being.


Humanities Only Salvation Is Spiritually Based. Individually, we must find a way to go within and tap into GREAT SPIRIT, and be transformed back into who and what we truly are, a Spiritual Being having a physical experience. Humanity believes that it has been given dominion over the earth because it is a superior being. If that is so, why are human beings destroying this planet and even the universe? If the animal and mineral kingdoms were left alone minus all human beings, this physical realm would once again be Simply Divine. It is sad but true, very nearly all human beings are mostly concerned with, is getting more and more stuff they can’t even use adequately, just to show off to other human beings. You know the old saying, that points out clearly what they are doing, trying to keep up with the Jones’s. You know what? The Animal Kingdom is looking at us and saying, I feel sorry for those ignorant human fools. Human beings in such a state of mind are destroying and wasting very precious natural resources. In addition, the human institutions such as governments and religions are leading the way down the road of sure and absolute self-destruction. Yes, humanity is headed for self-destruction. If I could get a transfer out of this mess today, I would take it without hesitation. Nevertheless, as long as I am here, I am here to learn and move forward. My individual path is that of Total Spiritual Re-Call, the full awakening and surrender to my Eternal Spiritual Nature. Humankind has nothing to offer me, that is anywhere near that Divine Reality. I do not want anything man has created that he wants to offer me, and never will I, all Thanks and Praise be to GREAT SPIRIT - GODDESS/GOD.


My Greatest Desire is an on-going Day-By-Day Deeper Inner Spiritual and Outer Natural Communion with GREAT SPIRIT, Earth Mother, and the Whole of Creation. Humanity as a whole must stop living out of balance with that which is Spiritual. The handwriting on the wall is all around us; of course, I am speaking of those who have eyes to see. If you are one who says, what I am saying is nonsense. You are simply telling the Whole of Creation and myself, I am not one with the Spiritual Sight needed to see and understand who I am, why I am here, and the true reality of life and existence here on this physical plane. The Simple Life is the life we are supposed to be living. The Simple Life is the life of True Spiritual Awareness, and it is void of all selfish ego.



“Every thought we think, every word we speak, and every action we take, becomes part of our present moment reality. It also becomes a part of the collective reality of Whole of Creation. That is why we must be extremely careful of what we create, because it surely will become a part of our surrounding world and also our Collective Consciousness and our Collective Oneness.”

Impulsive

.






Impulsive


Over the years, it has gotten progressively clearer to me that I should not be impulsive in my actions. I have learned that it is best that I am very deliberate in what I think say and do. Doing so will produce more of a flow, and produce more harmony in what I am doing. To act impulsively, is to react and to be sudden in my actions, and many times that means that I am forcing things to happen, instead of allowing things to flow in the way that they should. I should be spontaneous in what I do from time to time, sometimes life calls for spontaneity. However, not everything that I do should be solely driven by the energy of spontaneity. Most of what I do should be thought through and planned out to maximize a beneficial outcome. Life must have some order, it must be planned out to avoid chaos, and assist in producing harmony and natural flow.


I find that living today verses a few decades ago; just about everything is expected to happen instantly, patience is becoming a thing of the past. The state of patience, being a state of virtue is quickly fading because human beings are forcing and rushing just about every life experience. I must always envision this experience called life, as it truly is, a part of a greater whole. As I drive through the streets of Washington, DC the Nations Capital, I witness how self-centered most people have become. I have even noticed that same condition within myself. That is one reason why I must not be impulsive, because being impulsive usually means being selfish, thinking only of my personal needs, and not the needs of other and the Whole of Creation. If what I do is based in what is pest for the Whole of Creation, not only will I benefit, the whole will benefit.


I believe that living life from a collective perspective, recognizing the Oneness of the whole, is the original and only way I should be living, because everything that I do affects everyone and everything around me. In addition, living life from a collective perspective puts form to my thoughts and words of Love for the Whole of Creation. When I live life in and through Divine Oneness, which is collective living, I am showing my family of creation that I Love them and I recognize my Oneness with them. I believe that two of the most important things I am here on this physical plane to do, are to project Unconditional Love and Sacred Harmony to the Whole of Creation in everything that I think, say, and do. Those are the two most valuable and most tangible things I could ever offer.


As I focus on, and avoid being impulsive, I balance it off with not becoming a procrastinator. Because being a procrastinator is the other extreme, it is the opposite of being impulsive. They are two extremes; nevertheless, there is a fine line between the two. Over the 56 years of my precious life here on Earth Mother, I have found that it is very easy to go from one extreme to the other. Talking about living in a time when everything is instant, I have gone from one extreme to the other in a split second. Talking about going from one extreme to the other simply shows that every thought we think, every word we speak, and every action we take becomes part of our present moment reality. It also shows that it becomes a part of the collective reality of Whole of Creation. I must be careful what I create, because it surely will become a part of our Collective Consciousness, it will become a part of the Collective Oneness. If I am going to be impulsive about something, I am going to be impulsive about sharing my Unconditional Love with the Whole of Creation, and that includes being impulsive about Loving You. “I Love You We Are One!”
