A Future Worth Dreaming into Being

Cheryl: Hello Guides. The question today is posed by my partner Kavita, who relayed to me the following experience. Would you please share your thoughts on this with us? Here ‘tis:
“Walking with our dog this morning, a small bug alighted on my hand. Instead of shaking it off, I greeted it and invited it along for the walk. I was surprised to find such pleasure in its presence, paying attention to it, being mindful of it, enjoying its beauty, and being kind of amazed that it stayed through all the activity of our walk. The bug (insect?) remained until we returned to our origin point, then flew away.
Those 30 minutes of connection with a friend in nature was a gift and a balm for me, especially after I had been screen-focused for many days. So nourishing, soothing, and uplifting. This question arose from that walk together:
‘As our reliance grows upon things digital, electronic, and upon screens - and - as we become more accustomed to conveniences, swiftly gratified desires, and numbing our unease, what is your perception of the role of nature in our lives at this time on earth?’ “
Akashic Guides: Such a beautiful and natural communion you shared, Dear One. And this sense of connection and wonder is very natural to all, if they allow their awareness to rest upon it.
It is the most natural of things, as you are a part of nature.
Indeed, you are nature itself, not just a witness to it. The elements of nature are expressed in many ways. While you cannot be separate from nature, you can be separated from the knowledge and experience of it through your perception (or, we would say, your mis-perception) of it.
You chose in that moment to feast your eyes and senses upon what many consider a small, insignificant (and at times annoying) expression of life, and be fully present with it. And though you were moving your body, there was a stillness and attention within which allowed the receiving of that expression of nature, of life, of love, and you were (without effort) refreshed by it.
This is part of the design of nature and a part of your true inheritance.
Many have lost - much to their detriment - that sense of wonder in the natural world. This has contributed greatly to the imbalance in your state of health and wellbeing, in your relationships with others, and in your world at large.
It is most timely that you bring this experience and question to us, for this is one of the most pressing of needs … the restitution of humanity’s connection to, reverence for, and proper stewardship of the natural world.
Cheryl: You say restitution … don’t you mean restoration?
Guides: No, we mean restitution.
As more clarity comes, a shift will occur in humanity’s relationship with and stewardship of nature. There is certainly restoration needed, which is the personal act of reclaiming and practicing the intimate connection to nature, as you did with your insect friend.
Restoration will also include healing actions involving listening to and following nature’s lead to support nature’s natural healing ability, rather than imposing human ideas of what is required. This listening is the key to all healing and restoration, be it plant, animal, human, or element.
Restoration comes from first listening with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to learn – and then, letting the innate wisdom of the being before you guide your actions.
But as we stated, there is also restitution - in every sense of that word - which is needed.
By restitution, we mean a returning of the rights of land and nature and all that supports life to the people. Humanity’s choices now will affect the timing of this coming to pass. This relationship and responsibility, borne by each individual upon the planet, is also a part of your birthright.
Cheryl: And what role does technology play in all of this?
Guides: As with all things, it may be used for good or ill. There are many ways that technology is and will serve in positive ways. However, without awareness within each human, it is and will continue to be used in ways to serve un-elevated means and purposes. Questioning one’s personal use of it and its influence is crucial now.
This is also why your connection to nature is so very important at this time.
It breaks the spell of technology’s hold upon you and allows you to return to your natural rhythms and ways of knowing reality. Do as you wish, but we would urge you to prioritize embracing nature more intimately, know it, and delay not.
The healing nature brings enables you to make discernments and decisions which are more in alignment with what is natural to you. The true power of humanity fully connected to nature is yet to unfold.
This is a future worth dreaming into being, Dear Ones.
Turn your attention to it. Relax into it. Take the actions as you are guided. And let it be made manifest for the benefit of all humanity, all creatures, all nature upon the planet.
We are ever with you and delight in your explorations.
