The soul theory;
I believe that everything in Universe & beyond is connected to each other, whether it be smallest of small things or largest of large, everything is connected. The connection that links everything is not of a physical or a mental one but it is the connection of soul!
Now let me explain it,
Aristotle firmly believed that everything in the universe has a soul. Similarly Panlo Coelho in his book ‘ The Alchemist ‘ said that the universe, the sun & the Earth has a soul which is interlinked with each other. So we can assume that philosophically the Earth and every naturally formed thing like the tree, the grass, soil, forest, wind, water…etc all have a soul.
Green soul of the Earth…
The soul of the Earth is Green…. Lush Green !💚 Symbolizing the environment, symbolizing the life….
The best proof about exsistance of Soul of the Earth is to feel it. When we shift from a noisy crowded place to a quiet place surrounded by BEAUTY of nature. The quitness of greenness around you and the peace that your mind receives in mother nature is itself the feel of the soul.
Earth also responds!!!
The soul of the Earth is interconnected with the soul of all natural things and it responds to the stimulus received by souls of other natural things. Now let me explain this by an example.
Imagine a 100 acre land filled with lush greenish and gently kissed by sweet wind, which is home to more than 2000 trees. Now what if someone cuts down all greenness and all trees of the land and sets up a factory there. After some weeks a significant rise in temperature will be observed, Instead of cold winds now hot currents will flow, the soil will degrade in quality. Workers of factory may be affected by hot weather, skin burns and rashes. Dehydration will be common among them.
In the above setting ‘ cutting down the greenness of land’ is the stimulus received by trees, soil, grass..etc and the rise in temperature & degradation of soil is the response of soul of the Earth.
Nature and Newton!
Like the Newton’s 3rd law stating every action has a reaction of same magnitude, the same way soul of Earth responds to stimulus set by human acts. But the blog doesn’t end here, there also something else that is noted.
Which is…..
The Nature of Response of the Soul of the Earth is dependent on the nature of stimulus. You can’t expect a cold breeze after turning a forest in a desert!🏜
When we talk about protecting environment or healing the Earth from deforestation, we generally mean healing the Green soul of the Earth.
Healing the soul represents healing the body….
Humans for Earth….
Humans have been dominating species on Earth since millions of years…..And look what has happened!!!
Deforestation, burning forests, floods, land slides, Global warming, wars, earthquakes, pollution….and God knows what!!! The only thing for which humans are alive is destroying the soul of the Earth.
It’s undoubtfully true that we have exploited Mother Earth’s resources to such an extent that now she doesn’t accept our exsistance with silence. I completely agree with Albert Schweitzer when he says, ” Man has lost the capacity to forsee and to forestall. He will end by destroying earth”
Once destroyed the nature cannot be brought back at any price. Man is the only one to cut trees, make paper out of it and then write Save Trees on it!(Hypocrisy!)
It’s time for us to break the illusion that we have enough time to heal the planet. Procrasting when it comes to healing the Earth is the biggest sin mankind can ever commit….
