The Man in the Mirror Project - A Lesson of Nature

With so many upheavals in the world presently it makes one wonder what might be the cause.  Is it simply time for the earth to shift creating weather patterns of destruction to cleanse our planet?  Or is there a possibility that there may be another reason?

Nature can be one of our greatest teachers.  In essence I think most people would agree that man does not create man, man comes about naturally.  So what is it exactly that makes man think that he can beat or "manage" nature instead of living by the rules of nature?

We have made many separations for ourselves not realizing that in a field of flowers never once has the daisy said to the rose you cannot grow on this field it is only for daisies or I own this land, please get off.  When we see a flock of geese flying south for the winter I have yet to see one that is not flying with the flock.  What is it that makes these geese seemingly know when to swoop down on a field together or fly in one direction or another?

There is a concept in yoga that a teacher can know when the thoughts of a student change.  For when attempting to balance on one foot and the student begins to tumble the teacher knows that the thoughts have changed and thereby changed the results of the body.  What if this same concept that applied to us individually was also made apparent in the collective consciousness just like the geese flying together?  What if your thoughts, like with joint prayer, joined with the thoughts of others creating a collective consciousness that had an immediate effect on the planet?

If this was true, my thought would be that with so much fear, hatred and violence on the planet how can there not be massive global earth changes?  After all, the earth is something that is a living thing as well.  It is not separate from us because we inhabit it, thereby collectively either giving to it or taking away from it.  What are we providing to our earth and what is it that is the result of our thoughts and actions?

We all live by the stories we tell ourselves and create.  Even science is a story or an idea that someone has created.  What if we changed our story, changed our beliefs into thoughts that nature has already taught us?  For is it not nature that is the real truth of our existence?  Perhaps our healing the planet  has been right before our very eyes and we just never noticed.
