We must delve into the vast Kingdoms of CREATION and explore our relationships with the many facets of LIFE. The Micro-Kingdom, Plant Kingdom, Fungi Kingdom, Mineral Kingdom, Elemental Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Cosmic Kingdom, and Divine Kingdom, each represents a vital animation of SPIRIT. These realms can be categorized in countless ways, each reflecting a unique personification of the whole. They are living BEINGs, each with its own form, function, and essence, working in harmony to sustain the structure of CREATION as we know it. Like all things, these Kingdoms exist in layers and densities, intricately intertwined, often without our CONSCIOUS AWARENESS. They are the sustenance we depend upon. LIFE as we know it would be impossible without the symphony of animals, microbes, plants, fungi, minerals, elements, celestial bodies, and grace. It is the interplay of these BEINGs that holds our existence together.
Great Spirit, I receive the strength to walk the EARTH gently, as a relative to all of CREATION. Open these eyes to see and these ears to hear beyond the veil of individuality, dissolving into the radiant oneness of infinite creative INTELLIGENCE. With courage, may I meet ALL possibilities and the elemental forces with grace and ease. Freely bless these words and actions, that they may align in perfect harmony with your rhythms. May I transcend suffering and dissolve ALL ill-feelings, cultivating eagerness to sustain UNITY. Shall I honor NATURE through Sustainable INCLUSIVE Actions, walking in solidarity with ALL others, with the song of the UNI-VERSE resounding in this heart.
Every organism depends intimately on its environment to survive. Our very existence is intertwined with the rest of CREATION, and our survival hinges on our ability to embrace coexistence in all its Glory. Without this embrace, we set ourselves on a path of self-destruction. The Great SPIRIT, the sum of ALL its parts, is the embodiment of INTELLIGENCE, harmony, and ultimate wisdom. No single organism is greater than the collective environment it is part of, for it is the interconnected whole that sustains LIFE.
The Great SPIRIT has often been regarded as the driving force behind humanity’s longing to transcend its limitations. When a characteristic is absent, it is frequently attributed to SPIRIT. LOVE, for instance, BEING one of the most sought-after qualities, is naturally linked to SPIRIT. But if SPIRIT is truly all-encompassing, why not also associate it with fear, aggression, or any other aspect of existence? According to the law of correspondence, SPIRIT permeates every polarity, for our minds understand reality through dualism. We cannot know warmth without cold, light without darkness, or LOVE without its opposite. To truly grasp SPIRIT in all its Glory, one must rise beyond these dualities, beyond right and wrong, good and bad, or like and dislike. These divisions are mere constructs, fragmenting what simply is. In TRUTH, there is only what harmonizes and what disrupts. To UNITE with the Great SPIRIT, the supreme INTELLIGENCE, one must dissolve these illusions of separation. SPIRIT is fully realized through a spacious mind, free of rigid judgment, and an INCLUSIVE heart that embraces the wholeness of existence.
Walking in SPIRIT means that one’s identity transcends any single fragment of the whole, becoming vast, boundless, and inseparable from CREATION. It is not a belief system but a presence, an attitude of reverence and openness that radiates outward, embracing ALL like the sun's rays, illuminating everything willing to receive its warmth. To describe this state in words is to merely sketch its likeness, for the experience itself is beyond language, rooted in the deepest well of BEING within us ALL. Across cultures and times, those who have touched the singularity of the One express it through art, poetry, and song; mediums capable of conveying the ineffable. This is because the seat of this experience lies within, and the encounter with such transcendence overwhelms the body and mind. The surge of SPIRIT is so vast, so electrifying, that it dissolves the boundaries of the self, cracking open the emotional body and washing away its illusions. In that spaciousness, where the edges of identity vanish, there is nothing to hold onto, only the infinite flow of expression waiting to emerge. This boundless INTELLIGENCE, this supreme creative force, is CONSCIOUSNESS. It moves as SPIRIT, though the movement is but an illusion, for CONSCIOUSNESS simply is. Yet within this illusion, the dance of CREATION unfolds. Form, variety, and manifestation are the play of SPIRIT, an expression of the infinite One. To walk in SPIRIT is to align oneself with its Source, to co-create in harmony with its rhythms, and to live as a reflection of its infinite creativity. ALL that is, ALL that was, and ALL that will ever be arises from this singular force, the One, the Source, the essence of ALL.
To have an identity rooted in SPIRIT means to see the Self as the UNIVERSE, or even the Multiverse, a reflection of the infinite. Our identity can either bind us with limitation or liberate us into boundless possibility. For it to be the latter, we must perceive ourselves as integral to the vast whole we inhabit. This understanding is not distant or abstract; it is here, now, always present in every form, as One.
The essence of SPIRIT, eternal and unchanging, is the LIFEbreath that animates all material existence, enabling it to emerge and evolve. Though the material forms that SPIRIT animates may shift and evolve, SPIRIT itself remains unchanging, an eternal, omnipresent force beyond the confines of time and form. If the word "SPIRIT" has been clouded by misunderstanding, consider "energy" as its mirror, equally boundless, pure, and formless in its essence.
The submission to SPIRIT, to this essence, is not an act of surrender to something external but an alignment with what is innately true. LIFE moves in cycles: birth and death, CREATION and dissolution, ALL beyond the realm of individual choice. To resist this TRUTH is to resist our very NATURE. Instead, we should meet it with reverence and courage, for our core, SPIRIT, is within. Though the memory of the body and mind that forms our individuality may fade in a century, what is SPIRIT will continue. It will evolve matter, shape existence, and spin INTELLIGENCE into the makeup of reality, forever enduring, forever creating.
Mature ancestral communities, intimately connect with NATURE, understand these profound relationships. Through their connection, they develop cosmological stories that are embedded with values, traditions, and identities from their experiences with these aspects of CREATION. These stories are living repositories of wisdom, shaping the roles and purpose of each individual within their community. To them, each tree is a BEING with a unique personality, each star and planet a celestial entity with insights to share. This intimacy with LIFE, a SACRED dialogue with the Great SPIRIT within ALL things, was honored in countless endemic cultures across the globe. Through their unique lenses of interpretation, they brought SPIRIT to LIFE in ways both profound and beautiful. In this unfolding of meaning, we see the boundless capacity of LIFE to reflect itself, offering us endless opportunities to engage with its SACRED mysteries.
