More Tree Talk

As noted in my last post, I have been connecting with a tree near my home.  One day, while walking on a new trail, I noticed a beautiful fir tree - the kind with the long weeping fronds.  It immediately introduced itself as George (en francais).  It's personality was very different than Henrietta - very soft for a tree identifying as masculine.  He told me that he represents the new masculine on this earth - the masculine that is balanced in the feminine.   Here is one of his messages:

GEORGE

If you could say anything you wanted to a human what would it be?

That is interesting Rashana.  There is much I would like to say.  The first would be to notice.  Notice what is around you.  Get outside of your head and see the world that surrounds you.  Many of you are so busy in your thoughts all the time you may as well never leave home.  You are looking inside, listening to your busy thoughts that are really just going in circles, spinning around and around in your heads and never seeing outside.  Use your eyes to look.  Look into the distance, what do you see?  Look outside of you but close up, what do you see?  Truly look around you.  This would be the first thing that I would say.  Your world will begin to feel bigger when you do that because you will actually be expanding your awareness by looking outside of yourselves.  It will surprise many of you how different you will feel just by doing this one activity.  Then, as you begin to truly see outside of you, look at the finer aspects of what you see outside of you.  At first you see a flower garden as you walk by it every day.  Then, look onto the soil of that garden.  What do you see there?  Are there bugs, fallen petals, spider webs?  What microcosm is within the macrocosm that is garden?

As you begin to do this in nature, you may find it expanding into other areas of your life.  How many of you truly know the nature of those around you?  We could say that some of you do not even know your children.  You are so busy making supper, putting them to bed, getting them ready for school, and running out the door only to pick them up later for their extra-curricular activities that you have no time to stop and ‘see’ who they truly are.  So, this can apply to many areas of your life.  Stop and take the time to get outside of your head and into your life.  That would be the first thing that I would say.

Another thing that I would say to people is to laugh more and enjoy life more.  Stop taking yourselves so seriously.  Life is meant to be playful and joyful.  Especially for humans.  You have the nature to be light and carefree but the disconnect from nature and therefore your lives of being so busy and so away from nature, is making you very serious.  This will change soon.  There will be natural disasters that will help you to understand what is truly important in life.  It is not the latest fashion or a bigger TV.  You will come to realize that it is the love of family and community and life itself that is precious.  You are so far removed from that now that your values are misplaced.  That is going to change.  Do not be afraid.  Embrace this, for the changes are bringing people closer together.  Do you think, when 2 million people in NY are without power, that they rediscover the value of sharing with each other and helping each other out?  Do you think that people who may have been neighbours for five years, will then open up to each other and actually inquire about one another?  Yes.  It is events such as these that lead you to understand the greater value of life, outside of your small world once again.  The world of shopping and looking young is a narrow perspective.  As this changes, you will come to have a greater appreciation for the older members of your society and a deeper appreciation of the simpler things in life, like sharing with one another.  As the world changes and things become simpler, you will find that the joy factor rises.  There are people in the world who live in dire poverty and are much more joyful than most North Americans.  It is because they still have the values of connecting with one another and finding their joy there. 

So, ask a tree what they would tell you and this is what you get.  We see the way people are in this world.  We would be happy to be noticed and to share our love with you.  First you must see us.  You will not see us if you never lift your heads to look around.  There is so much to see outside of yourselves.  After all, we are your creation.  Why not look outside and see what it is that you have thought up.  Mother Earth will appreciate your noticing as well.  She sustains us all.  Every time one of you notice, she rejoices, for she feels that love that you have for her.  It sustains her just as she sustains us.  Send her your love by loving a tree or a flower or the sky.  It really is you loving yourself, for we are all connected.  This is my message to you this day.  Go visit a tree.  Connect with it in your mind.  Appreciate it and see how you feel.  We are waiting.  You can heal the planet very quickly with your love.  Start now.
