Earth Speak articles are inspired directly by the Earth\u2019s Akashic Record and are in Q&A format. Your questions are welcome and can be sent via the\u00a0Contact page.<\/p>\n

In 2010 I began studying the Akashic Records with Linda Howe primarily because I wanted to work with the Earth\u2019s Record. The following article was written after my first attempt at communicating directly with the Earth\u2019s support team. In the Records, it is not the identified personality (in this case, the Earth) that speaks, but rather, her Masters, Teachers and Loved Ones (MTLOs for short).<\/p>\n

The Akash can be accessed from many different vantage points\u2014your own, the Records of others (with permission), and places in the public domain. I first opened the Akashic Record of Earth in order to ask questions about the 2010 Gulf oil spill (the responses still apply). Questions are asked by the person who opens the Record and answered by the MTLOs.<\/p>\n

This Q&A session was communicated during the Gulf Oil disaster that broke so many of our hearts:<\/p>\n

Question:<\/strong>\u00a0Can the Earth feel our grief over what is occurring in the Gulf?<\/p>\n

Answer:\u00a0<\/strong>Absolutely. There is a gaping wound in the ocean that reflects the gaping wound within your own hearts. What you are seeing on the news makes clear that a careless and cavalier attitude toward that which gives you\u00a0everything<\/em>, can have terrible repercussions.<\/p>\n

You are meant to be stewards of Mother Earth, as she is for you. The relationship is reciprocal and to be in balance, there must be a give and take. While her reach is wide and her \u201carms\u201d are strong, she has been pushed to her limits. But she will persevere. You? That is another matter entirely.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong>\u00a0How can we heal from this? What can we do? It seems that the environmental damage is too far-reaching, irreversible, and life-threatening.<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0The fact that so many of you are praying for the Earth and those who were and are involved in the Gulf Oil spill, is creating an opening\u2014in much the way that humanity changed after September 11. But that was an opportunity squandered. This need not be. Make unequivocal decisions to change your destructive habits. This is a\u00a0global\u00a0<\/em>crisis that calls for a global response.<\/p>\n

Right now, you have the intelligence and the resources to change the way you harvest energy on your planet. If you will be of singular focus, if you will bring forth your brightest and most creative minds to find not just one, but multiple solutions to the spill itself and to future energy requirements that can leave your Earth replenished rather than depleted, then things will change.<\/p>\n

\"Couple<\/a><\/p>\n

Throughout Earth\u2019s history, courageous men and women who have done the seemingly impossible. If you want peace on Earth, then you must be a peaceful people. You cannot continue to rape and pillage without consequence.<\/p>\n

What has been going on in the name of economic development has benefited a few and harmed the majority. The evidence is all around you. How much do you really need to sustain and enjoy life? The Earth has more than enough resources for all, yet all are not in receivership of her gifts. You have gorged yourselves to the point of widespread, imbalanced gluttony.<\/p>\n

Your hope lies with your youth. They are filled with creative ideas that can lead you to a brighter future. Together with the Elders, their focused intent can create miraculous solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. Your world governments can lead the charge and ask for help from the populace, but they\u00a0must\u00a0<\/em>listen and follow through on behalf of the Earth, not because it looks like another way for a select few to make money.<\/p>\n

This is\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0totally hopeless. What are you made of, children of God? Will you roll over, or will you rise to the occasion?<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong>\u00a0Can prayer play a role in this man-made destruction? Do community healing and meditation really make any difference?<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0Each of you as individuals must answer that question. Does it help\u00a0you<\/em>? Does it join hearts and minds in a collective call for healing and offer benefit simply from the experience? Does it spur some of you into action? Does it create a spark of an idea where before all you felt was grief and hopelessness?<\/p>\n

Do you think that there is separation between you and your Earth, or do you understand that there is a ongoing connection between all humans and the Earth which makes life possible? When you\u00a0feel<\/em>, those vibrations are felt by the Earth. When the Earth feels, those vibrations are felt by you. You are One.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong>\u00a0Is there anything else you\u2019d care to share today about our Earth?<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0All over your planet, there are forces of destruction tearing away at your \u201chome\u201d. Solutions will not come overnight. But for some of you parents who have sat vigil over a deathly ill child and been willing to do\u00a0anything\u00a0<\/em>to help, that kind of commitment is needed. The roles have now been reversed. Your \u201cMother\u201d needs your care. How will you respond?<\/p>\n

Do\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0have a question<\/strong>\u00a0for the Earth\u2019s Record?\u00a0Send it\u00a0on over!<\/p>\n
