Our Birthright From Mother Earth

I. Creation and Divine Order:

Religious cosmology is a way that religion explains where the universe came from, how it changed over time, and what will happen to it in the end. The Flora and Fungi Kingdoms represent the intricate balance and design set forth by a higher power. All over the world, plants are depicted as a vital component of the Divine Creation. The incredible diversity of plant species, each with unique characteristics and purpose, showcases the richness and mystique of Mother Earth. The romantic symbolism reinforces our deep innate understanding that every aspect of the Natural World, including plants, serves a specific role within the grand spherical mandala of existence.

II. Symbolism of Life and Growth:

The growth of plants, from the emergence of shoots to the full bloom of flowers and the eventual withering, mirrors the cycles of life and death. This process aligns with spiritual concepts of resurrection, renewal, and the soul's journey. Just as plants experience periods of dormancy followed by vibrant growth, individuals undergo introspection and transformation on their spiritual paths.

III. Sacred Plants:

Sacred Plants hold a transcendent quality that connects the Earthly and the Divine. The act of burning incense or herbs during rituals releases fragrant smoke, symbolizing prayers ascending to the Heavens. Sacred Plant Teachers possess unique properties facilitating communication with the Spiritual Realm, making them conduits for Divine Energy and Blessings.

IV. Offerings and Sacrifices:

Offering plants as gifts to deities is an act of humility and devotion. Individuals express gratitude and seek favor by returning a portion of the Earth's bounty to The Divine. The act of sacrifice, whether material or symbolic, reflects a willingness to relinquish the mundane in favor of spiritual connection and alignment with a higher purpose.

V. Medicinal and Healing Properties:

Sacred Plant Healers with healing properties are regarded as gifts from the Divine, offering remedies that address both physical and spiritual ailments. The use of herbal remedies is often accompanied by prayers or rituals, invoking Divine assistance in the healing process. This integration of plant-based healing with spiritual intention emphasizes the holistic nature of well-being.

VI. Garden Imagery:

Garden imagery, found in sacred texts and artworks, transcends cultural boundaries. Gardens are symbolic of a harmonious relationship between humans and The Divine, representing a paradise where the spiritual and physical coexist in unity. They symbolize the aspiration for a state of purity, communion, and proximity to the divine presence.

VII. Lessons from Nature:

Parables involving Sacred Plants serve as metaphors for spiritual truths. The growth of seeds into plants underscores the importance of patience and nurturing in the development of one's character. The humble nature of plants bending under the weight of fruit or flowers teaches lessons of humility and service. These lessons from nature provide insights into virtues essential for spiritual growth.

VIII. Environmental Stewardship:

Religious teachings often emphasize the duty of humans to be caretakers of the Earth. This stewardship acknowledges The Divine Gift of Creation and the responsibility to protect and preserve it. The reverence for Sacred Plants and the Natural World extends to practices that minimize harm, promote sustainability, and foster a sense of interconnectedness.

IX. Seasonal Cycles and Festivals:

Seasonal festivals celebrate the cyclical nature of life and the Earth's rhythms. These festivals often involve offerings of crops, flowers, or other plant-based elements, connecting the spiritual with the agricultural. By aligning with the seasons, individuals recognize their dependence on the Earth's cycles and The Divine Order that sustains life.

X. Interconnectedness:

The interdependence between humans and plants underscores the interconnectedness of all life forms. The cultivation and consumption of plants reflect a reciprocal relationship: humans rely on plants for sustenance, while plants benefit from human care and protection. This interconnectedness is a reminder of the intricate web of life woven by the Divine, where every living being plays a vital role.

In essence, the relationship between humans and plants is a testament to the profound relationship between the physical and the spiritual realms. Plants serve as messengers, symbols, and conduits for divine energy, guiding individuals toward a deeper understanding of themselves, their place in the universe, and their connection to the Spiritual Realm.

To be human, is to have an insatiable desire for knowledge. Our birthright to explore the Flora and Fungi Kingdoms is a manifestation of our innate curiosity. It represents our yearning to explore the very essence of existence and our quest to thrive in Nature.

Plants breathe life into us, and we breathe life into the plants. How did we ever exist without each other? Our individual relationship with plants is a personal affair and should not be governed by any man or government agency. Nor should it be encumbered by regulations, criminalized, or even frowned upon by people touting their costly new-age curriculum. Rather, those who HAVE been Called By God to stake their life for The Good Of All, can find support for their mission and a wealth of knowledge, here, at Earthright Sanctuary.

If you have been Called, or feel the same way we do, PLEASE JOIN US ON THIS HISTORIC QUEST TO ESTABLISH THIS BELIEF AS A BIRTHRIGHT!
