The Earth as Gaia—Is a Living Earth the Cause of All the Recent Tornadoes? How many of us think of the earth as Gaia? Or looked at the earth with honor and treated it with more respect than it is today? How does the term used for this living being play with you? Thinking of Gaia as the nurturing, loving, living being it is, makes one wonder if she is rebelling at the misuse that she is suffering at the hands of humans.
"The highly controversial global warming theory has been brought up and put to rest by most scientists. Yet there is the question of just why the earth is throwing its fury.
There could be many reasons, from the El Niño and La Niña climate cycle to other seasonal and global shifts that just happen to be occurring at a maximum this year. Yet there is another equally controversial theory that has been spoken about throughout history. The ancient Greeks looked at the earth as a living being called Gaia."

"Mother of All Forces
Gaia is the mother, or generating force, that enables the planet to bring about and sustain life. In mythology, Earth, trees, planets and stars all had a spirit that resided within them and interacted with everything else. To many today, this of course is rubbish. Earth is no more alive than are the chairs they are sitting in. However, many indigenous people through history up until today have seen Earth as a living entity.
Their views were a part of their spirituality and a way of revering the being … Earth, which sustained them. Their survival was connected with a good rain, a successful hunt or abundant harvest. They looked at the earth with honor and in such treated it with much more respect than is done today."
"Clearly, the planet's people are out of balance, with stress, fear and intense emotional reactions to each other. Earth is polluted, and the recent BP oil spill has thrown it further off kilter. Furthermore, do we simply take our world for granted? Do we stop and connect to it or honor it for our sustenance? What would happen if we did? To many it is a stretch to consider that the earth is causing all the natural disasters occurring now on purpose."
The Earth as Gaia—Is a Living Earth the Cause of All the Recent Tornadoes? A look inward at our own imbalances, and how these impact others in a ripple effect that is reflected by the Earth that supports us.
