Part two — about the Field of Nature and the Field of Humanity.

Well, lets look at the other side, everyone who are identified with the Field of Humanity, not as a conscious choice but just as the way we are. Our viewpoint is from inside of Humanity. We see our selfs as a part of Humanity and humans are more worth than animals and plants. Who would you save from a burning house?

Of course we have to take care of nature, so our kids and grandkids can live on this planet. We have to save the tigers because they are such beautiful animals.  The people in the developing countries also have the right to a good living standard.

We love hiking in nature and feeding the ducks in the park, we love our dogs and cats and gardens, they give us so much! Nature is really good! And we feel gratitude for all the things we get, from food, to cloths, to cars!

We learn from Nature, about stillness and beauty and generosity. We celebrate the Devine Mother Earth and we open to God in Everything.

This autumn I saw an add for a tree plating project in Africa — “Where trees grow, humans grow”. Interesting, I’ve always supported the tree planting projects for the sake of the trees them selfs. And for the birds and animals and the humans, approximately in that order. That was when I was identified with the Field of Nature.

From the perspective of the Field of Nature the add would go “Where humans grow, they plant trees”, or maybe just the pure “Plant trees!” that would be enough, no need to motivate it with something else, trees have a value in and by them self’s.

How would you formulate the add, to motivate your self, to give money to the tree planing project?

When I’m identified with the Field of Humanity, I can get overwhelmed with all the suffering — wars and conflicts, diseases and starvation, natural catastrophes and economy collapses. All this mixed with billion personal heart brakes …

How can I care about a tree when all this is going on???

And the struggle inside the Field of Humanity and between the two Fields of identification will become more sharp in the near future. More humans, less resources, less space for non humans.

I believe that we can solve this dilemma and make this a wonderful place for Everyone and Everything — the keys are Awareness, Responsibility and Love in all directions. Will write more …

So, what field of identification do you belong to? The Field of Humanity or the Field of Nature?
You have to choose. And you may switch!

It is soon a year ago since I was moved into the Field of Humanity. When it happened it was a profound experience and as time passes, the more significant and important I see it. In a way it’s the foundation of Big Heart of Humanity.

In marsch 2011 I was meditating in my sofa in my flat in Sweden and suddenly I was moved into the Field of Humanity. It was a strong energetically feeling and I intuitively knew what happened.

The next day when I met people, I belonged in a new way. I was a human among humans — at home. Later the day I met a bird, a pheasant, and we had a totally new relation. I, as a Human, met him as Nature. It was a lot of love between us, but in a new way, we were from different spheres. Before when I met animals, it had been more of a love among siblings, a we-love. That we-love I now feel along with other humans.

Before I saw Nature as We and Humans as Them. They are destroying Nature and I’m not a part of that. They are hurting Us, me and Nature.

Before this shift I had no idea about my position and I thought that everyone perceived things the way I did. After the shift I started to see this two very different positions, or fields of identity and how we unconsciously has chosen one or the other.

Many  of us who are involved in the environmental movement, identify our selfs with the Field of Nature. We really feel the pain Humanity causes Nature. When the trees falls and the fish dies, we feel the pain as if we were hurt. And we feel the helplessness of the forests and the oceans, the lack of compassion and care from a Humanity that only think of her self and her own needs. And we just can’t be a part of that Humanity, we can’t identify our selfs with those destroyers. And we refuse to see our own part in it — It’s Them!

So we work for Nature against Humans and not so few wishes that Humanity just would disappear form the Planet. We see Humanity as an evolutionary mistake. If there would be no Humans, everything would be nice and the way it should be and all the plants and the animals could live happily ever after.

Maybe you recognize your self in this, maybe you think of a friend? Or maybe this is totally strange in your opinion. It might seem strange, but it’s very rational. If you see and deeply feel what is going  on with Nature on this Planet and you know that it’s one species that causes it and you belong to that species, you have a problem. How shall you handle your relation to your self and your fellow humans? Of course the mature way is to be fully responsible as a part of Humanity and open heartily deal with all our collective shadows. But that is a tuff one and it takes a lot of insights and hard work …

In my next blog post I’ll explore the view from The Filed of Humanity and make some conclusions.
