JANU: Let us move in the direction of climate change. Much the topic of the day. Many dance around the issue of ‘Is there or isn’t there climate change?’ Of course there is, our brother. Climate is always changing. It goes through cycles of change, of short and long duration, and has many times in the past. The human sojourn is not long enough to perceive these, save at the cusp of a change.
When one lives consciously in harmony with life, and that includes nature, adjustments are made due to understanding climate changes. Anticipates, even as nature does, these changes. Gradual adaptation has always occurred within humanity. In earlier times, humanity was more attuned to the climate and the movements of nature, for their daily existence depended upon this and their life was not obscured by technology.
What is occurring at this time is completely relevant to these cycles. Yes, humans do influence to a degree with their pollutions, but these changes are exaggerated in human perception by a growing lack of adaptability and acceptance of what is natural for the Earth. If your skin is susceptible to damage from exposure to the sun, reduce the exposure. If your diet is consuming your health, change the diet. Don’t be one who says, “I love the sun and have been doing this exposure for years.” Let go of that, our brother. Be current in the times. Be free to live in the moment.
Mastering your environment does not mean controlling it beyond its natural course, but adaptation, accommodation, and insight. These are the keys to navigating weather changes. Engage all of your life in this way, changing your attitudes, perceptions, preferences, as called for. Your spirit will survive all of this, and more. The physical body is of nature, of the Earth, of the environment that is changing. Help it adapt and cope and prosper, with an open mind and a growing knowledge of what is taking place with the body’s limits and the body’s needs. If the ground is shaking under your feet, change your location.
Create a life for yourself that is adaptable. Be one with your environment, for it is the only one you have for the moment. Change is not a mystery, our brother. It can be foreseen, understood, and its influence mastered and be grateful for each day. Namaste.
