Cat Catalyst work explores the powerful emotions that drive people to act, either responsibly, or irresponsibly, consciously, or unconsciously, collectively to save a planet or, conversely to destroy it. _________ For how one treats another person and how one treats ones environment is a reflection of how one perceives ones own self. Self-perception, or self-deception in turn determines how much one cares for, loves, accepts and respects ones self, or not, as the case may be. _________ And when humanity arrives at this fundamental realisation, that the energy one either extends or withholds, is exactly the same treatment that one invites into ones own life, then we shall have reached a major turning point in the collective consciousness of humanity. Similarly, one may in turn realise that Planet Earth is also an extension of ones own self-care, self-love, self-acceptance, self-respect, for the Earth is sacred hallowed ground, made from the bodies of our collective ancestors and all, whom hath previously walked upon the earth before us, which as Chief Seattle points out: “If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves“, (and so my suggestion is: ‘Carry a Handkerchief!’ =) _________ ‘Spiritual and emotional capability’ enables an individual to practice the art of non-personal Love for all, Compassionate and sympathetic understanding is what love is, yet it is not an easy path to walk for it requires tremendous courage and emotional strength for it constantly tests the limits of ones personal boundaries. It is much harder for example to extend compassion and forgiveness to someone who has caused hardship and suffering, which is often the result of having been a wounded-child now caught in a repetitive cycle than it is to extend compassion and understanding to someone one already loves, likes, accepts And so by suggesting alternative, more elevated ways of responding to ones own stuff, to the world at large and to the people and creatures in it, these can then become tools of conviviality which may serve as agents for beneficent social change. _________ Because what this new millennium needs to see is the emergence of a deeper level of responsibility towards Earthly affairs and towards each other, beyond the man-made arena of greed-centered commerce, so that the world’s nations and populations, understand that we are all co-curators of Planet Earth, and that we all have a valuable role to play in this joint-responsibility, to take greater care of our only home in this solar system, to cultivate eco-centered sustainable business with a deeper level of intuition and sensitivity which in turn develops into a greater sense of fairness in all human affairs, whether worldly, family or personal, therefore resulting in a greater sense of Reverence for all things natural including ourselves. _________ ‘For to evolve through Love is the greatest spiritual teaching on Earth, from personal, through transpersonal, to unconditional and Universal, a conscious choice everyday, there really is only one way forwards, everything else is resistance.’* (*Excerpt from: Holiness of the Heart) ___________________________________________________________ I believe that evolving through the vibration of Love is the greatest spiritual, emotional, social and political work one can do/achieve on Earth. I believe that the welfare of The Planet and the fate of the Human Race is dependent upon our being able to evolve beyond politics, beyond commerce and beyond the selfish ego gene. ___________________________________________________________ – Cat Catalyst ipoem.co.uk/about/
