The Child of Earth - Humanity
Our body is best connected to earth. Proponents of humanity theory have alluded to the fact that human being is more than the body. Humanity is associated with Earth and environmental cleanliness has been associated with godliness.
The constant reminder that our body is nothing but soil is best seen in a burial. Proponents of humanity theory have alluded to the fact that human being is more than the body. Human beings are supposedly made of body, mind and soul.
The body is best connected to the earth. This is best seen in when one conducts a meditation visit. For Ilchi Lee fans, an annual pilgrim visit to the Bell Rock is always rejuvenating. The greatest report from most of such fans is the feeling of connection to the earth. The harmony between Mother Nature and the human body, soul and mind is strongest in such serene environments.
Environmental cleanliness has been associated with godliness. To me, this means more than just a promotion for clean environment or a call to being conscious of your environment. The ultimate aim is to create an environment where the human body, mind and soul feel at home. Because of connection with the spirit, a clean environment is a basis from which the human being will feel fulfilled and at peace.
This therefore calls for two things, environmental conservation and environmentally conscious human beings.
To achieve environmental conservation, people would need to be sensitized of the benefits of such an environment. It has been observed that the people who live in environments that are clean and calm, live healthier lives than those who are in dirtier and more violent environments. The cleaner environment comes with the benefit of less disease burden. Communicable disease especially the waterborne diseases would be history if we all took care of the environment.
There are several emerging and re-merging diseases that occur due to lack of a harmonious balance between the environment and human inhabitants. The disharmony may arise due to environmental degradation that changes the nature and ways of living of such organisms. When the harmony lacks, it also affects the inner well being of humans. Emotions are many times a result of the view and perception of the environment. A clean and green environment that is cool is likely to enhance the quality of life.
