Can Human Beings Co operate with the Earth?

Today is, apparently, World Conservation day….a quick google however reveals that no events have been planned around this day. The silence is deafening. The 13 Moon Almanac asks: Can Human Beings Cooperate with the Earth? Can we find our natural place in the order of things?

Yesterday I read a Wired blog on the Bee which bears this headline

Bee-pocalypse Redux: Bumblebee Population Drops by Up to 90% in U.S.

My heart stood still. After hearing of the thousands of red winged black birds that fell from the sky in a small American town and the fish dying on the shores of America this week I know the fall out of the PB Gulf spill is upon us and in full effect while oil stocks rise again and the price of gas begins again to skyrocket - “investors” gloat and rub their palms in glee . Do they know that If ALL the bees disappear on the earth we humans have an estimated 5 years of life before we, too shall be extinct….nevermind 2012….the keeper of the food chain will not return anytime soon and no amount of money will restore what has been their place on earth since the beginning of Time.

Today I am “telling the bees”, please hang in there as we humans are trying to get our act together. We do not have collective consciousness yet, our social skills in these last daze of artificial time are just starting to emerge like a flower blossoming. The question is will we make it to the light? Will we wake up in time or return to the darkness and the death of our consciousness?

“A well known cosmological myth from the ancient Egyptian city of Heliopolis — Greek for City of the Sun, but known as Annu or Iunu in Egyptian, and which is now located in a suburb of modern Cairo — is that the sun-god Re was self-generated, having spontaneously arisen from the primordial Waters of the Nun (Footnote 1). After his self-generation, Re began to generate other gods. Another story provides additional dimension to our subject. A lesser known tradition, and one that the priests of Heliopolis themselves are said to have taught as part of their allegorical mysteries, states that the goddess Neith was the first deity that emerged from the Waters of the Nun, making her the foremost of the Egyptian Gods. Having arisen from the Nun, she rested upon a primeval mound that had formed in the midst of the Waters. Raising her voice, she uttered the first sounds or words of power — “hekau” in Egyptian — and then created Light). Next, she became Virgin Mother of the Sun by giving birth to Re, who appeared as a child on the horizon. She granted the power of disseminating Light to Re through the vehicle of the Sun, then in the form of a bee flew off to the place where the city Sais — called “Sau” in Egyptian, and which was situated in the middle of the Nile delta — was to be in order to establish her cult and temple there. The Temple of Neith in Sau is traditionally known as the House of the Bee — or “Hoot-Bit” in Egyptian.”
