Humanity is no longer the right mirror. Humanity is not as pure as echoing hills. Humanity is perverted [...] life can only reflect when it is alive. Man has become so dead. You don't feel.

- OSHO

In the economy of nature, nothing is ever lost

- Gene Stratton Porter

Man is already where he needs to be, where he is meant to be. Man is in paradise [...] But you can fall asleep, you can start dreaming a thousand & one things. Then those dreams become your reality, & the reality fades far away, becomes unreal

- OSHO

"Mystic" conveys to me a wise unknowing of morning mist with only the promise of a day to come [...] not an intellectual approach defined by man but trusting, waiting, quietly still before each blade of grass, each little bird [...] reminding us of higher, nobler government than ours

- John Butler

the garden is enough proof of the gardener; the gardener is not separate from the garden [...] once you separate the gardener from the garden - creator from creation - the problem arises

- OSHO

Nature indeed has always been, for me, the original book of God & my unfailing teacher

- John Butler

Just ask the animals, and they will teach you. Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you. Speak to the earth, and it will instruct you. Let the fish in the sea speak to you

- Job

into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul

- John Muir

there is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, & music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more

- Lord Byron

humans can be conversant with the earth & the sacred in strange, imaginative, wild ways. In any way we want

- Lyanda Lynn Haupt

If we continue to live the way we are living, the end of our civilization will be certain. Only by waking up to this truth as a human species will we have the insight and energy we need to change our way of life.

- Thích Nhất Hạnh

What we do in the next 10 years will profoundly impact the next few thousand years [...] Nature once determined how we survive, now we determine how nature survives.

- David Attenborough

Respect the earth & hear how we are being asked to change

- Thomas Moore

learn from Mother Earth’s patience, non-discrimination, and unconditional love. We see that the Earth can renew herself, can transform herself, can heal herself—and can heal us.

- Thích Nhất Hạnh

Take breaks from feeling bad about the world

- OSHO

The wisdom of stopping & healing is still alive in animals, but we human beings have lost the capacity to rest

- Thích Nhất Hạnh

It is enough that you enter the temple invisible. I cannot teach you how to pray in words. God listens not to your words save when [God] utters them through your lips. And I cannot teach you the prayer of the seas & the forests & the mountains. But you who are born of the mountains & the forests & the seas can find their prayer in your heart, And if you but listen in the stillness of the night you shall hear them saying in silence: “Our God, [which] art our winged self, it is thy will in us that willeth. It is thy desire in us that desireth. It is thy urge in us that would turn our nights, which are thine, into days, which are thine also. We cannot ask thee for aught, for thou knowest our needs before they are born in us: Thou art our need; & in giving us more of thyself thou givest us all.”

- Kahlil Gibran

"I love you, whether I know it or not"

whether the trees know about their roots or not, those roots are their very life; without them the trees cannot exist at all

The Sufi mystic is saying about God that, "I must be loving you, otherwise why I am alive? Without your love nourishing me continuously, life is impossible.

It does not matter whether I know it or not, but one thing is certain: love must be happening, because I am still alive.

Not only I must be in love with you, you are also in love with me - whether I know it or not"

- OSHO

ONE NATURE, ONE REALITY

One nature perfect and pervading circulates in all natures
One reality, all comprehensive, contains within itself all realities
The one Moon reflects itself wherever there is a sheet of water
And all the moons in the waters are embraced within the one moon

- Yung-Chia Ta-Shih

The Sapara Worldview/Vision

The world is one–nukaki.

The world is forest–naku.

Although we experience the world as if it were material & disparate, composed of things, objects, resources, & bodies, these are mere parts of a larger domain that unites & animates all beings

We call this whole tsawanu: spirit

The spirit realm is the world of wisdom (yachay mundu), where you learn to follow the path toward living well (buen vivir) that life itself teaches

Seen from the tsawanu perspective, the reality is one—nukaki

We are a part of this totality

BE IN TUNE WITH NATURE

trust it & don't violate it

Be earthly. Love this earth. It is a beautiful planet, one of the most beautiful, because it is one of the most alive. This planet has to be loved, this planet has to be rejoiced in. It is a gift.

You are part of nature. This body has to be loved. This body becomes the temple of the greatest possibility.

Live a natural life. Nature should be your only discipline, and whatsoever is natural is good.

- OSHO

ROOTED: Life at the Crossroads of Science, Nature, and Spirit

Rootedness: 'a way of being in concert with the wilderness—and wildness—that sustains humans and all of life'

for 'personal connection' with the 'great aliveness' of the 'more-than-human-world'

to live 'radically intertwined with the vitality of the planet'— 'being-within-nature', 'grounded in the natural world'

- Lyanda Lynn Haupt

Our changing earth: connection, recalibration, healing, recovery, transformation

Our world, our mother earth, is going through a process of recovering her energy. She is working to recalibrate herself, that's why there as so many natural disasters. We are her children, we have arrived here on this earth & it is important for us to recalibrate our emotions in our life so we can be in good relation with her.

We are aligning ourselves with a path that the earth is offering us, not with a lot of opportunities, but one opportunity. That opportunity is to heal this home, which is planet earth. & to do this we have to unite ourselves. & with this we have to see the world with a vision of Nukaki. & the earth, we have to see her with a vision of Nukaku, because we are one. We are one force, one strength, & one heart. Because of this we have to offer a lot of energy to stabilize the energy of the earth. We know that we are millions of human beings but we can unite under the energy, the essence, of Nukaki. Nukaki is a new vision of how to feel & understand life. Through ceremonial healing prayer, we [can] align ourselves with the energy that will help us align our energies, So with these natural disasters that are taking place, our energies are still being aligned & it doesn’t take us out of alignment.

This is a time to recalibrate our energy as the earth recalibrates herself. & In this process we begin to walk a path with clarity, receiving this opportunity of a new path & a new way.
