If every life is a stream, then the ocean is Gaia’s consciousness.
How we lead our lives,
the energy we keep,
the thoughts we entertain,
what we give and what we take,
all determine what flows into Gaia’s consciousness.
Any negativity, in any shape or form, that we consciously or unconsciously release into the ocean causes Gaia great pain and suffering—this is true on all planes of her existence.
The Buddha taught us about 'right thoughts' and 'right actions.' Consider those your first key to honour Gaia.
