Sunday Noon Essene Communion: Peace with the Kingdom of the Earthly Mother
Prepare yourself as described elsewhere. If you wish, use the Lady's prayer.
Noon communion thought:
Heavenly Father, send to all your Angel of Peace;
To the kingdom of our Earthly Mother, the Angel of Joy.
Focus: In this communion, think of those ways in which you are already at peace with the kingdom of the Earthly Mother, and of ways in which you can become more at peace with her. Think especially of the trees and other natural settings and how they contribute to the overall health and well-being of this planet.
Rationale: The kingdom of the Earthly Mother is, of course, the earth and all that is in physical manifestation. As a part of that earth, you are governed by the laws and forces of nature. Your life and actions, then, should reflect a unity with that nature.
Living in harmony with nature means not poisoning the earth or contributing to the poisoning of the earth. This is not a primer on living a more natural life; there are far too many excellent works written. But the basics are to avoid pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, all of which kill the organisms and microorganisms in the soil that keep the soil a living thing. It also means, as far as possible, to avoid products and foods that were produced using these things, because, by purchasing them, you are contributing to the use of those products. Instead, only purchase products that were made with love toward and in harmony with the earth. Buy organically grown foods, avoid excess packaging, only buy that which you need instead of contributing to the waste stream by purchasing things you really don?t need, and so on. Also, do what you can to reduce, reuse, and recycle, and especially to reduce your reliance on paper products. In taking these actions, you are furthering your peace with the Earthly Mother and with those others who also rely on her for their sustenance.
