AWAKENING WITH MOTHER EARTH |

AWAKENING WITH MOTHER EARTH, Hearing Gaia Sing, by Fran Moeller Gatins. Beautiful book of many strands, December 24, 2006Reviewer: Reader Views "www.readerviews.com" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews Reviewed by Louise Bickley for Reader Views (12/06) The author’s main point is stated on page 189 when Gaia says, ". . . It is the main point I wish to have completely clear: that all beings contain elements and aspects of all other beings and all physical forms emanate from me. Therefore, you can speak with each other." |
| In other words, Mother Earth or Gaia wants it
known that she is a real live breathing entity of her own and is evolving
along with all of her children. Her children include every bit of creation
within her domain--inside, outside and above. I must admit that my first response to the premise of this book was skepticism; I thought it was preposterous. However as I read on it became more and more believable. I was struck by the author’s own willingness to question the material coming through her. Ms. Gatins expresses her doubts over and over--wondering if this was authentic communication from Gaia or simply emanating from her imagination or subconscious mind. Gaia assures her over and over and, quite convincingly, I might add, that she is real and she is speaking. Finally by page 139 Gaia tells her to get over it--believe this communication is genuine. There are numerous books, films and treatises on the subject of ecology and environmentalism, but none as original and fresh as this book. The content is simple and complex, serious and whimsical, humorous and instructive. Ms. Gatins beautifully weaves together numerous strands--spiritual truths, laws of physics, the many results of abuse to our Mother Earth and places them into a spiritual and moral imperative that leaves no room for doubt. Gaia says that everything sings! Song and dance are expressions of the joy of life and one of the best ways to honor, bless and give thanks to the Creator of all. I absolutely love the last sentence--"THEY got up and started to cha-cha to the music of the stars." Perhaps it is because singing and dancing or two of my most favorite things in this world. In any case it resonated with my whole being. I would not change a thing in "Awakening with Mother Earth." My only recommendation is for Ms. Gatins to keep listening and reporting what she learns. |
