In my life, and in our current situation in America, I see that there are three kinds of spiritualities that are going to be very important in this New Earth vision that we are creating together. That doesnt necessarily mean that its confined to three different traditions, Im just going to give you three different traditions that are personally meaningful to me. For me, the Heaven aspect, the upper chakras aspect of spirituality is represented by Buddhism. Buddhism has helped me in transcending so much clutter in my life, confusion and ignorance, and so much suffering. Its provided great insight and wisdom. Jesus and the Christ Consciousness, and all that we learn from our wonderful Western traditions, has really helped me be in touch with my Heart [Chakra]. The love, the forgiveness, kindness and compassion aspect; Jesus helps me to get in touch with my heart. The lower chakras aspect, represented in past traditions and current movements, help me to get in touch with the importance of the Earth. Sometimes we get so caught up in wisdom and love that we forget that wisdom and love have to happen in a body, on the Earth. We cant be destroying our planet and polluting our planet while we are also philosophizing about Enlightenment, and saying that we want to love one another—its a contradiction. ~Transcript of talk, Buddha, Jesus, and New Earth Spirituality, delivered by Brother ChiSing February 3, 2013 - Harmony Fellowship, Ft.
