Welcome to the July-December edition of the Connecticut Natural Pages®.

Finally we are addressing the issues of Global Warming!

Human neglect and abuse of the environment has resulted in the extinction of thousands of animal and plant species, as well as the proliferation of birth defects, cancer, allergies, and asthma-just to name a few. But global warming is the first malady that has garnered planetary attention.

So why global warming? Because it affects every single one of us now and in the future, and there is no getting around it. This is the most profound time in our existence. At no time in history have people of all races, religions, beliefs,
philosophies, nationalities, political affiliations, status and income levels shared the same common experience.

The earth is sick from what we humans have done to it. Just as the human body rises in temperature to kill pathogens, the planet is warming to rid the planet of pathogens. We humans are those pathogens. We are making our planet uninhabitable for humans. The message is clear-Either we change, or we're toast!

But before we can change, if we are truly going to reverse this self-destructive course we are on, we must address the root causes. We must face the truth of our destructive behaviors, take inventory of our patterns of destruction, to figure out why we are doing this to ourselves so that we can reverse course.

I believe global warming is a spiritual disease-a crisis of connection to spirit. We are moving so fast that we have lost our connection to ourselves, each other and the earth. The remedy lies in slowing down, paying attention, re-connecting.

Collectively, we can shine a light on the darkest part of ourselves and address what we see and truly heal and live the glorious life that is here to live right now. We have the opportunity to come together as a human family and transform from living a life separate from, fearful of, and competitive with each other, to one being connected, cooperative, compassionate, giving and loving.


In Love and Light,
