Solar Geoengineering--Another Wacky Concept to our Environmental Crisis by Dominating Mother Earth

We keep looking to science and technology to rescue us from our impending environmental crisis, when it was science and technology that created the crisis  Ecofeminist Carolyn Merchant noted this in her classic The Death of Nature. that also showed how the assault on Nature/Mother Earth was tied to the assault on women.

Merchant said, 

in investigating the roots our current environmental dilemma we must re-examine the formation of a world view and a science  that,  be reconceptualizing reality as a machine rather than.a living organism, sanctioned the domination of both Nature and women.

 In other words, our Mother is a machine that we can tinker with as we please.

The idea of dominating Nature goes against everything I have been talking about on this blog since I began in 2007. Domination, abuse, control and the like are not the ways we should approach our Mother; they also bring about a horrific karma that we have been dealing with.

A wonder, a magic, an Earth Magic is created when we love, give, act altruistically, and/or we work with our Mother. A Magic that creates wonders such as Energy Vortices. A magic that is fostered by love and cooperation.

Unfortunately, we still don't get it and continue to give the keys to our future to science and technology. They created this mess, yet many believe that they can pilot us out of it. 

One of the latest examples of our arrogance and belief that we can dominate and do with or Mother as we please, is Solar Geoengineering--creating a dark plume to blanket the Earth to block out the sun and prevent the Earth from heating up. The video below explains Solar Geoengineering.

Sacred Feminine--Awareness of Sexual Assault and Earth Changes

We are witnessing a rise in our awareness over the role and status of women in our society with recent accusations of sexual assault by Harvey Weinstein and other Hollywood moguls. The response of companies to distance themselves from these individuals is encouraging. There has also been a groundswell of victims coming forward as well. All of this is very good and shows that we as a society are having a cathartic moment and evolving. Unfortunately large and powerful counter forces such as 'technology, corporations, large institutions...' are increasing their grip upon us and increasingly manipulating us more and more .

I mention this because I am currently reading a book suggested by friends  Not in His Image: Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief, by John Lash Lamb. It is an interesting  look at Gnosticism and Paganism in a way I am not familiar with. As a lover of Mother Earth it is a refreshing perspective showing  how we became who we are and that long ago the subjugation of women, and Mother Earth, was not in the psyche of certain groups.

Lamb clearly lays the blame of the assault on women on Rome and the Abrahamic Traditions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam.) In my opinion Christianity became Rome when Constantine embraced it; we must separate Jesus from the Church, otherwise we promote Rome.

Lamb also says that the assault on women is tied to the assault on Mother Earth. They are inseparable. Mother Earth, is our Mother, she is the Sacred Feminine.

Here are a few quotes;
"The primary insight of ecofeminism--a term originally used in 1974 by Francoise D'Eaubonne, a French sociologist--is that domination of nature goes along with domination of women, This insight links the environmental problem to the issue of gender relations. Ecofeminist theologian Rosemary Radford Reuther stated the principle in one sentence:"There can be no liberation for women and no solution to the ecological crisis within a society whose fundamental model is domination."

"Many ecofeminists suggest that as a movement deep ecology is insufficiently sensitive to the complex ways in which naturism (domination of nature), sexism, racism and classicism interlock, and to the strategically central role of gender analysis could play in dismantling these categories.(quoting Riane Risler)Gender balance in indigenous-pre Christian societies was crucial to their sustainability, but it also made them vulnerable. Salvationist religion (Abrahamic traditions) arising from the Near East brought naturism, racism, and sexism in its wake.. (Page 45)
One of the fruits born of North Star Country was the Women's Rights Movement in Seneca Falls in 1848.  It should be noted that before the Women's Rights Movement women in the Haudenosaunee culture had enormous power; they are considered a matrilineal society.

Interesting to think that awareness of sexual assault and the domination of women is occurring at the same time as the recognition of the problem of Climate Change is growing.The Sacred Feminine is rising.
