..and the earth itself is a conscious being..

then does anyone get the feeling the earth is trying to tell us something lately???

tough to doubt

[Logic]

Yeah, "stop polluting."

[Logic]

What makes you think the Earth would have a consciousness? Why not a subconscious or collective unconscious? Something like that seems more appropriate to me.

I believe that everything is consciousness, and that nothing could exist without it.  So for any physical object to come into being there has to be A BEING to put it there, the earth is constantly changing and shifting, and just as you are a living ground for an array of millions of bacteria, the Earth is a living ground for countless billions of species, each with their own individual consciousness.........But you could label it any way you want.

Heh, I tend to hear it say, "stop complaining."
