Today Earth is in a dire state. It is a fact that all life on Earth knows already -

It is only humankind who seems to be oblivious

Listen to the vivid voices of our fellow Earth beings!

They are saying

The current global crisis must be brought to the attention of humans. We don't fear

the sacrice required of us.

-an excerpt from "A Message from the Whales Announcing the Global Crisis"

We are anticipating the day when humankind returns to loving all creatures and

knowing how to be thankful.

We truly hope that we will all be able to escape from the current reality and live

together in harmony.

This is our earnest wish, but we don't have much time left

Still, we are hopeful! We still love humanity!

We, at Suseonjae would like to share this book of hope with the world.

Prologue

There have been uncountable big and small disasters, one after another

for the last few months worldwide.

Each year the signs of global warming increase and intensify.

Environmental pollution and unpredictable weather changes are starting

to severely impact the lives of human beings. However, Nature, has been

feeling it coming for much longer.

What is happening to the Earth? What will happen to Earth in the future?

The Earth itself and the numerous animals, plants and constituents which

are its family, say Earth is not the space which exists only for the use

of human beings. All the creatures including animals, plants and even

invisible microorganism and inanimate beings are equivalent members

of the Earth and have their own right to live on the Earth as a part of the

family.

They also say the Earth is not just emotionless ground, but is an organism

that is alive and responds and reacts. Human beings, who are guilty

for environmental destruction and disturbance to the eco-system, have

to wake up in a hurry from the illusion which has been created by the

human-centered ideas and rampant material civilization. For every action,

there is a reaction; and all the accumulated actions of human beings

which have gone against nature, will have to be corrected somehow.

If the forthcoming crisis is inevitable as they say, what should we do nowand how?

The other family members of the Earth are appealing to us with tears,

saying the crisis is not the matter of an individual but is a common issue

that has to be solved by all the members of the Earth who share the same

destiny and the only ones who can overcome the impending crisis are the

tears_edit.indd 4 2011-09-02 5:07:13

human beings themselves. They also told us that we should remember

that saving the Earth is not something huge and difficult to do, but

can be achieved through small actions which originate from the correct

understanding of the Earth and from loving the Earths family. What we

need now is the fast change of the majority of human beings. The ow of

the change always begins from me.

The meditation trainees of Suseonjae, who have started to communicate

with the Earth and its family, have contributed the messages they have

received to make this booklet in an attempt to spur change, as they have

realized the truth about the Earths crisis and the severe pains of the

Earths family.

The voices of nature, full of pain are urging the awakening of human

beings. All of them hope we humans recover our own position as the

guardians for the Earth, which is the original role of human beings.

Putting small actions into practice with love and concern and share them

with others around us, as members of the Earth and also its guardian will

make the beginning to create a gigantic ow of change, wont it?

The Earth and its family hopes that love and concern from you, who is

reading their messages can guarantee the beautiful co-existence of nature

and human beings.

They also say they still believe in human beings.

That they still love human beings

We at Suseonjae send our apology and gratitude to the Earth and itsfamily, who are suffering such pain.

1. The Economic Crisis of 2011

Recounted by Honeybees

There has been a massive surge in honeybee deaths

Will humanity perish if honeybees disappear?

What truth are the bees trying to convey?

Mr. Honeybee! Could I have a moment o your time? I'm sure that

you're aware o the act that the sudden disappearance o bees

worries many beekeepers. Everyone is incredulous and they don'tknow how they'll be able to continue arming.

We have been waiting to meet you for a long time. I'm sure that this

sentiment is shared by many creatures on Earth. As you know, we

honeybees are much more sensitive to environmental changes than

humans are and we're able to know many things that escape the notice of

honeybee saliva to create propolis.

humans. In order to get your attention and convey our message to you at

any cost, we've been acting strangely. You must understand that the Earthis in imminent danger.

Bees are sometimes called the 'barometer' o nature and are

considered to be environmental indicators. Why are bees so

sensitive to environmental conditions compared to other insects?

Its correct to say that bees are nature's barometer. Just as canaries

can alert you to the level of air pollution, bees can serve as indicators

of environmental contamination. Bees can only survive in clean

environments because when compared to other insects, we only possesshalf the genes for the regulation of detoxication and immunity. This is

why honeybees are especially vulnerable to pathogens.

Bees spend most of their time in hives built out of wax, and when there

are contaminants or dead bees inside, they are immediately taken out of

the hive to maintain a sterile environment. When bees get sick, they lose

their sense of direction and become unable to nd their way home. When

the level of contaminants is excessive and the colony cannot relocate,

bees seal the hive with propolis

1

so that pathogens cannot enter. This isbecause we cannot survive in contaminated environments.

Up to a certain threshold of environmental pollution we actively pollinate

owers, helping plant species ourish, which has the benet of increasing

the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. When the level of environmental

pollution exceeds this threshold, leaving us unable to cope, we die off as a

sign that the environment is too contaminated. If we die, owers will not

get pollinated and will therefore fail to bear fruit, which is a direct signal

to humans of the serious level of environmental pollution.

Albert Einstein once said, "I the bee disappeared o the surace

o the globe then man would only have our years o lie let."

Mass honeybee deaths have already started occurring in dierent

places around the world, causing some people to worry about the

uture, while others view this as a temporary phenomenon. Whatis the role o bees in the eco-system that would give rise to such a

gloomy hypothesis?

As you know, plants cannot fertilize themselves. Someone has to play the

role of catalyst for pollination to occur and that someone is the honeybee.

In return, we get to eat nectar as nourishment. It's no exaggeration to say

that humankind has come to enjoy abundance thanks to the honeybee.

Today honeybees are responsible for pollinating about 80% of all owers,

and 90% of all fruits.

But 90 to 95% of all honeybees have already suffered mass deaths.

All the owers, fruit trees, and grains that were pollinated by bees will

not be able to bear fruit without us. Already in the case of some fruits,

pollination is manually carried out by people using brushes, but nothing

can replace insects, especially honeybees, as pollinators.

If we disappear, the harvest of fruits and grains will decrease while

the number of plant species will also decline, causing an unavoidable

decrease in the number of plant species and animals, because animals willhave less to eat. It goes without saying that humans will no longer be able

to count on an abundance of food.

Unfortunately, the time of crisis is already upon us. While extreme

temperatures have caused a string of natural disasters, the decrease

in the number of plants has resulted in less oxygen and more carbon

dioxide in the atmosphere, thereby exacerbating the problem of abnormal

temperatures.

I what the honeybees are saying is true and living things on Earthare dying rom pollution, what's the reason or the recent spike in

the requency o earthquakes and other natural disasters? They

are occurring more oten and with more intensity, which seems to

cast doubt on a natural cause.

tears_edit.indd 9 2011-09-02 5:07:13


11/71


Honeybees, humans, and all the animals and plants in nature are part of a

single living organism, the Earth. Catastrophic natural disasters occurringaround the globe are actually the response of the Earth's weakened

immune system which is struggling to restore life. That's proof that the

Earth wants to live.

Living organisms including animals, plants, and humans are also

suffering from a great loss of immune function, just like the Earth. The

Foot and Mouth Disease that is raging throughout Korea and the 'Super

Bacteria' which have shocked the world are only some of many diseases

which can threaten animals and humans with weakened immunity. These

are powerful warnings to human beings.

Is Honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)2

which started

appearing a ew years ago in the United States, Europe, and now

worldwide, also related to your warning? What is the actual cause

o CCD and what is the solution?

Everybody is rushing to report about the honeybees' disappearance. But

only a small majority knows exactly why we're disappearing.

Look at the environment we now live in. Human greed is endless.Beekeepers steal all of our staple food, honey, and replace it with sugar

or corn syrup; and in order to increase honey production, humans nd an

In the Autumn of 2006, there was a mass death of honeybees in the US.

The honeybee mortality rate subsequently increased such that the number

of bees, which had reached 6 million during WWII fell below 2 million.

Once the bees began disappearing, people proposed various reasons for

the deaths, including IAPV (Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus) and others, but

they couldn't prove a direct causal relationship.

2. The phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) makes worker bees who

leave the hive to nd nectar or pollen unable to nd their way back home, causing bees to

disappear en masse.

tears_edit.indd 10 2011-09-02 5:07:13

11Tears of the Earth

area with lots of owers and then frequently transport our hives by truck

to faraway locations, which makes it hard for us to adjust. Feeding uspesticides and antibiotics only prolongs our suffering. Honeybees, with

their compromised immune systems from a polluted environment, cannot

cope anymore.

Stress from frequent moves, malnutrition from sugar syrup or syrup made

from genetically modied corn, pesticides and antibiotics, viral scourges,

and extreme temperatures... All of these factors weaken honeybees'

detoxication ability as well as their immunity, a situation that virtually

guarantees that they will get sick. If bees get sick from any one of the

factors described above, they lose their sense of direction, and becomeunable to nd their way home, spelling their doom.

However, the biggest reason for CCD is the electromagnetic

radiation from cell phones. Rather than directly affecting honeybees,

electromagnetic waves from cell phones are absorbed into the Earth's

outer core where they generate electromagnetic interference that

destabilizes the Earth's magnetic eld and causes bees to lose their sense

of direction. Disoriented bees which wander around, unable to nd their

hives, will eventually die.

It's hard to believe the root cause are cell phones...But cell

phones are indispensable or modern humans, and have

become necessities. People are greatly aided by cell phones'

communication eatures in addition to other conveniences. I

cannot imagine lie without my cell phone.

Yes, we know. But aren't cell phones the items that best represent

humankind's expediency, selfishness, and growing distance from the

sounds of nature?

Moreover, electromagnetic waves from cell phones are powerful

enough to disrupt the Earth's magnetic eld. Even adults can suffer from

headaches and severe fatigue after long mobile phone calls. Of course,

such effects are more severe for children and adolescents. In particular,

tears_edit.indd 11 2011-09-02 5:07:13


13/71


children's immunity is weak, their bodies absorb materials quickly, and

they are quick to adapt, meaning that they also absorb electromagneticradiation more rapidly. Children and teenagers have more risks than

benefits from cell phones, so it's hard to understand why they need to

carry one. Humans are especially vulnerable to supercial things, opening

their hearts and eyes to such glamour.

The danger rom cell phone electromagnetic radiation is

much more serious than I thought. But most people today are

accustomed to carrying around cell phones in their daily lives. We

can't get rid o all cell phones immediately, and new models are

being produced all the time. How do you suggest we solve this

problem?

Above all, people must try to reduce their cell phone use. Even though

it is a convenience of the modern world that cannot be discarded easily,

it should only be used when absolutely necessary for as short a time as

possible. Spending your time on a cell phone for idle chatting will cause

grave harm to you and to nature, and is a fact you must be aware of.

Nature is finite and must be used according to natural laws. Excessiveexploitation of nature and civilized tools will soon bring great calamity

to humankind. In terms of beekeeping as well, nature's way must be

followed with humans doing their best to create a natural environment in

which bees can survive.

I thought that cell phones simply provided convenience. Come

to think o it, countless numbers o people around the world use

cell phones but i the Earth's magnetic ield is being aected,

there must be a huge amount o electromagnetic waves being

generated. From now on I'll try to only use my cell phone when it's

absolutely necessary.

It is predicted that global warming will accelerate and that more

animals and plants will die or go extinct, but you mentioned

earlier that many people think, "There won't be any big problems

tears_edit.indd 12 2011-09-02 5:07:13


14/71


during my lietime," or "Even i one person changes his/her habits

it will just be a drop in the ocean" and other skeptical thoughts. Forpeople with such misgivings do you have any words to share?

As I said earlier, currently Earth is in imminent danger. Not much time

is left. You might think "Even if one person changes his/her habits it will

just be a drop in the ocean," but this one person can also be positively

viewed as a chance to transform global crisis into opportunity.

It can be said that the universe is moved by the power of consciousness.

Although the lifestyle changes of a single person cannot transform the

entire Earth, an individual's determination not to harm the environmentcan have a big impact on transforming the Earth. 'The 100th Monkey'3

might be a story that you're familiar with. It is said that monkeys did not

originally wash sweet potatoes before eating them. But once one or two

monkeys began to wash their sweet potatoes before eating, the practice

gradually spread. Once the 100th monkey was washing its sweet potatoes

before eating, all the monkeys in a 1000 mile radius started doing so.

Global changes can originate from a mere

individual. For an individual to avoidharming the environment, they should start

with easy tasks first. One should reduce

the use of electrical appliances, minimize

cell phone use, reduce the amount of trash

one produces, and use water sparingly.

This kind of nature-friendly attitude and

practical action can change the surrounding

area. Once this attitude spreads and the "100th

Monkey" threshold is reached, the power of this

consciousness has the potential to transform the entire world. In the

3. The 100th Monkey Effect: In the Kyushu region of Japan, monkeys live in groups.

Observation of their feeding habits revealed if one monkey was observed by others washing

its yams before eating them, the other monkeys would follow suit. Once the behavior had

spread to 100 monkeys, even monkeys outside of Kyushu in other regions were able to learn

this behavior. This example is often used to explain threshold theory.

modern era, the Internet can help such consciousness spread even more

quickly.

Changing personal attitudes and habits will be the driving force that will

change the Earth. We sincerely hope you will understand this.

2. The Polar Bears' Warning of a

Global Deluge

The melting tears of the North Pole threaten many places in the world

with ooding.

Polar bears watch hopelessly as the ice melts.

What does Earth look like to them?

One day while watching TV, I saw a troubling image that made me

want to talk to the polar bears. A polar bear standing on a melting

slab of glacier looking bewildered as it searches for another glacierto move to. As soon as I requested a chat with the polar bears, I felt

warmth from within. Perhaps all creatures on earth are originally this

clear, bright, and warm.

I'm so glad that you accepted my request to talk. Ater seeing the

tears_edit.indd 16 2011-09-02 5:07:14


18/71


MBC documentary, 'Tears o the Arctic' in which a mother bear

was playing with her cubs, I realized that animals, just like people,transcend instinct and can share emotions. Do animals have

eelings?

What a strange question to ask! We do indeed have emotions! Depending

on the degree of evolution, however, the range of feelings varies among

animals. Humans are the most evolved species on this planet, so they can

feel the most complex and diverse emotions.

I've heard in the mass media that a signiicant amount o the ice

cover in the North Pole has disappeared. I eel sorry that I don'tknow exactly what's going on there because I live so ar away. I

want to know what's really happening there rom one who has

experienced it. What is the biggest challenge or you?

We used to have our own foraging paths, but they suddenly disappeared.

The ice is melting so fast that many of us drown when we try to move

across breaking ice oes, while others die of starvation because there is

not enough ice left for the animals which are our food to live and breed

on. Due to hunger, we have approached human habitats in search of food,but are sometimes killed while rummaging through trash and sometimes

we prey on younger polar bears, just to eke out an existence... because we

could not endure our hunger.

It's a very gruesome reality.

I've heard that polar bears don't travel in herds, preerring to travel

alone, so how do you know o the unortunate events that have

beallen other polar bears?

We are capable of exchanging information with each other. But such skillsare not unique to us, as other living things also have this ability. We can

share information about experiences and environmental situations with

others of our kind. And we feel pain for our brethren who are suffering

through difficult circumstances. Even though we know the situation of

our kin, we are powerless to help them and this fact saddens us even

tears_edit.indd 17 2011-09-02 5:07:14


19/71


more. Humans have put us into a very agonizing situation in which we

cannot even maintain a basic existence.

As the temperature rises in the Arctic, a movement to curb

global warming is on the rise. Meanwhile, this is improving the

accessibility o the Arctic, leading to a scramble to claim resources

there, and some people are even talking o opening up an Arctic

passage.

We are amazed at humans' endless greed and once again we are stunned

by the selsh short-sightedness of man. But if one stops to consider the

reason for this behavior, we see that people regard the Earth as theirpossession and believe that they are free to change the Earth at any time

using any method; this attitude is the root of humanity's problems. Thus

humans carve up the Earth for their exclusive convenience.

The development plan of the Arctic is pretty much the same story. Despite

clear signs that the Earth is ailing and that this will negatively impact

humankind, people inexplicably continue to simply chase money and

seek their own comfort. These actions probably stem from ignorance and

a refusal to face the truth.

Yes, I think people really dont know how bad the situation is.

How seriously do the Polar Bears take the current threat to their

survival?

To explain by example, consider the case in which a human is placed in a

Polar bears spend most of their time on the ice, hunting for survival and

also reproducing there. They require an average of 45 seals annually for

sustenance. As glaciers are disappearing due to global warming, however,

seals are no longer able to clamber up onto the ice, depriving many polar

bears of food, thereby leading to their starvation. In addition, polar bear

cubs are starving to death due to mother bears' lack of milk.

tears_edit.indd 18 2011-09-02 5:07:14

large container full of water, with the human and the water taking up 90%

of the available space. Then close the lid. Air would not be able to enter.Guess what will happen? The human will only be able to breathe the air

remaining in the 10% of the container that is free. Once that air is gone,

no more air from the outside can enter. This describes the current state of

the Earth.

However, humans don't know the situation is that serious. A bigger

problem is that even if they are exposed to information about the

problem, they're not interested, saying, "Things will be alright during my

lifetime," an attitude that shows their easy-going manner and their lack of

awareness.

Do other animals o the Arctic eel threatened, including seals, fsh,

or birds?

All of us feel the same way. We're terried... On the other hand, however,

we've been preparing for this future's arrival. If humankind does not

change, the current situation will only get worse.

How are Arctic animals preparing or the uture?

If humans do not change, we will have no choice but to receive the full

brunt of the coming catastrophe. It is our fate. However, humankind must

recognize that the impact of glaciers' future disappearance will fall most

heavily on them.

Right now, Tuvalu, the Maldives, the Republic o Kiribati, and other

island nations are aced with disappearing within this century. In

addition to these countries, are other cities and countries located

near sea level at risk rom uture climate change?

Nothing can be ruled out at this point. There will be no refuge from

the effect of natural disasters, if humankind continues down its current

path. As the sinking of certain landmasses accelerates, other regions

will face increasingly severe drought. Now all creatures on the Earth,

tears_edit.indd 19 2011-09-02 5:07:14


21/71


with the exception of humankind, know that they face imminent crisis.

Do you know the adage, "The one who ties a knot must untie it?" Onlyhumankind can resolve the current crisis. This is why all creatures are

doing their best to inform humans.

Among people who know the seriousness o the situation, there

is a movement aoot to inorm the public o the acts through

video ootage. Several years ago, a documentary about the Arctic

garnered unprecedented interest, and was made into a movie

the ollowing year. Many people were impressed by the ilm

because it gave them a chance to become more aware about the

environment. However, most people were only touched while

actually watching the flm, and soon orgot about environmental

issues. In act, I eel dubious about the ability or such changes inawareness to directly lead to changes in the Earth's environment.

I'll let you in on a mysterious secret of our world. The Earth is one giant

organism made up of connections between all living things. It's just like

the human body. If someone on one side of the globe saves a cup of

water, the same cup of water can be put to good use on the opposite end

of the world. If people are moved in the way you mentioned earlier, but

soon forget about environmental awareness, this will be of no help. The

important thing is that practical action, however small, is needed.

Practical action, however small, is important indeed!

Perhaps what modern humans need most isn't alternative energy

development but a reduction in their desire to live better than

others. Do you have anything else you'd like to say to promote

In August 2010, an area of 100km2with a height of 167m, representing

one quarter of the Petermann Glacier sloughed off of the main ice shelf

located at the northernmost part of Greenland. This was the largest such

separation in 48 years.

tears_edit.indd 20 2011-09-02 5:07:14

healthier and humbler lives or humankind?

First of all, be thankful. Being thankful is the best way for man to learn

from nature. Thankfulness is life energy that cannot come from a heart

lled with discontent. Approach all things with thankfulness. You say it's

hard to be thankful? Just look at us. Our houses are collapsing every day,

and most days we go without a single meal. Furthermore, we are losing

friends and family in appalling ways. What about humans? Think of how

much you have. Just being aware of this will make thankfulness come

easily.

Second, keep it simple. Humans have too many belongings and leadoverly-complicated lives that are anything but simple. Combined with

their endless desire to live comfortably, they ignore the other creatures

with whom they share the Earth and even go so far as to destroy it.

We have some expectations of humans, namely, to become Earth's

guardians. Although we're trying to adjust to the environment created by

humans, if we fail in this difcult task, we will disappear from the face of

the Earth. We all exist to evolve, so we don't want to meet such an end.

That's why we would like to tell humankind to simplify their lives.

Try to recall life in the past when man lived with nature. Humans received

Nature's abundant sustenance and protection. But now Mother Nature is

being threatened by the actions of humankind.

3. A Message from the Whales

Announcing the Global Crisis

Hundreds of whales are beaching themselves en masse

in every corner of the world.

Why do whales have no choice but to die in groups?

What do they want to say to humans?

Not long ago, it was reported that a group of whales had committed

suicide off the coast of Australia. Even though the cause of their

group suicide remains a mystery, it is said that whale beaching hasbeen on the rise as humans began to seize control of the oceans. I

requested an audience with the whales so I could hear their story. As

soon as I try to commune with the whales through meditation, I feel

their frustration and anger.

tears_edit.indd 23 2011-09-02 5:07:15


25/71


Greetings, Mr. Whale. Recently, groups o whales have been dying

on beaches. Some say that the whales committed mass suicide.Why are such incidents occurring?

We've been looking forward to having this conversation. Whales' mass

suicides are really heartbreaking. The underwater environment is terrible

right now. Waste and noise make our environment unlivable. Underwater

noise in particular deals a fatal blow to our nervous systems. It is the main

culprit causing malfunctions in senses that we depend on to determine

direction and to catch food. Nowadays, the noise pollution from cell

phones, airplanes, ships, submarines, and people are driving us crazy.

Noise leads to a reduction in fish and sea creatures, resulting in moreempty oceans. Even though we want to live in the ocean, we can't survive

there.

The whales committing mass suicide were suffering from extreme mental

anguish and distress as they had gone many days without food. Such

situations are commonplace and never-ending. They thought it would be

better to send a message to humans by dying altogether, than by starving

one by one, so they committed mass suicide.

Is the cause o the recent whale beaching in Southern Australia thesame?

They knew that the marine environment was too polluted to live in, and

they were lost in despair over the future, causing them to kill themselves.

It truly pains me when I think about them.

In every corner of the world, we have witnessed mass whale beachings.

In November 2010, the British tabloid 'Daily Mail' released a photo

showing 33 dead whales scattered along the County Donegal coastline.

Environmental scientists are now investigating the cause of mysterious

whale deaths. Shortly thereafter, about 30 to 40 beached whales were

spotted on South Uist in the Inner Hebrides.

Despite our desperate efforts to alert humans to the Earth's crisis, people

initially show simple curiosity about whale beachings and then quicklyforget, going back to their normal lives. Deaths of other animals as well

have tried to convey the same message to humanity.

What does the uture o the ocean look like rom whales' point o

view?

In its current state, the Earth is so polluted that Nature will conduct a

big clean-up on its own. It will take the form of earthquakes, tsunamis,

volcanic eruptions and other natural disasters. Although many animals,

plants, and humans will be placed in danger, the sea will be reborn into itsoriginal, calm, and clear state.

Whales are said to be endangered animals. I whales really

disappear, what will happen to the ocean?

When whales disappear, their prey such as phytoplankton and

zooplankton will signicantly increase. Although other sh eat them as

well, these creatures will soon begin to decompose. Eventually the eco-

system will be disrupted, causing the ocean to rot, which will prevent theEarth from purifying itself. The reduction in phytoplankton will change

the climate as well. Reductions in photosynthesis will accelerate global

warming and the near future will see tremendous natural disasters occur

one after another. Given that the number of whales is already very low, if

humankind continues to catch whales for food, the future is clear to see.

This is no mere warning, but our reality. Soon, the frequency of typhoons

and tsunamis due to pollution will increase and they will sweep over the

Earth.

The oceans appear to be perpetually peaceul, so why do youpredict such a gloomy uture?

Although the ocean may appear to be calm and beautiful on the surface,

its underwater denizens are in uproar. They desperately want to convey

news of the ocean's crisis to people.

Let me tell you what's really going on under the sea. Now many sh aregetting stuck in nets abandoned in the sea by shermen. Sometimes even

we get trapped in nets and die, too. People say they've caught "sh worth

over $10,000" and value our worth in monetary terms, but we are also

members of Earth's family and have the right to live freely.

Also, in the process of trying to pry oil from the deep sea, accidents

sometimes occur, spilling oil into the sea, thereby worsening marine

pollution. Due to the current activities of corporations from the first

world, contamination of the sea is spreading signicantly.

Do you have anything to say to humans?

The ocean is associated with vastness, as in the ocean of space, the sea of

nature, and the seas of forest. The ocean generously embraces Nature. If

humans abandon their bad habits today and strive to restore Nature, they

can change the future.

If even a single person hears our message and becomes enlightened,

attracting others like a magnet and working with a single shared purpose,they will have power to attract not just ten thousand, but a million people.

With the power of faith, love, positive thinking, happiness, and joyfulness

we can overcome present difficulties together. All creatures in the sea

have love for humanity.

Thanks or chatting with us today. We look orward to meeting you

again! (Ater saying our goodbyes, we embrace to convey our love

or each other.)

4. Cows Talk About Mad Cow Disease

Our relationship with animals has certainly changed over the years.

We cannot say that the change has been positive one

Has our consciousness, love and care for animals deteriorated?

I came to think so after the following conversation with a cow.

Do you have anything to say to humans?

It's been a very long time. Basically it began around the time when

humans began to appear on Earth. In the beginning only a handful of cows

lived with people, but as humans began to live in fixed communities,

moving from a hunting-based to an agricultural-based society, our

cohabitation began in earnest.

We began to live together out of mutual need. We were constantly

tears_edit.indd 28 2011-09-02 5:07:16


30/71


threatened by ferocious beasts and we sometimes saw our fellows eaten

before our very eyes. Even during peaceful periods, we couldn't let downour guard for even a moment. That's why we became domesticated

livestock. Humans guarded our lives and in return we plowed their

elds, carried heavy burdens, and worked hard. We obediently followed

humankind throughout our lives and in the end we even generously

provided our esh as food for humans. In the past, under the protection

of human beings, we could graze to our hearts' content across spacious

pastures. At night we stayed in houses that humans built for us, shielded

from the wind and rain. We were so happy.

Ater spending a lietime in service o humankind, how did cowseel about becoming ood or people in the end?

Yes, life is precious and we felt regret, but while living together with

people we received a lot of love. Thinking of this helped us die more

comfortably without reproach for humankind. In the cold winter, humans

showed concern for us by shielding us from the rain and wind, covering

us with blankets, and making hot, steaming bean and straw porridge for

us to eat. In addition, humans often cleaned and removed crusted dung

and vermin from our bodies, so we truly lived in close proximity to eachother. Today, however, that golden age of living in harmony is nothing

more than old tale, and we cows feel cursed and full of resentment

because now people only focus on producing high-quality beef to increase

prots while making us gain weight to improve our taste. We have been

betrayed! This is all the doing of greedy and ruthless humans who have

transformed the relationship between cows and people. What a pathetic

existence!

I heard that the corn feed that cows eat nowadays has some problems.

Some suspect that feeding cattle corn instead of grass can bring aboutchanges in beef and milk composition. What is the truth?

Corn is not suitable for cows. While it is true that we enjoy eating

cornstalks and corn leaves, corn kernels are not intended to be eaten by

large grazers. Rats, squirrels, chickens, birds and other smaller animals

tears_edit.indd 29 2011-09-02 5:07:16


31/71


eat corn. All animals on Earth have, over several thousand years, each

selected their preferred diet and have adapted their constitution and habitsso that all animals can coexist.

Our main food is fresh grass. It's our staple diet. When we used to farm

together with humankind, in the winter we couldn't eat enough grass,

so even when spring came, we couldn't shed our winter coats and got

thinner. When our caretakers saw us in this state, they pitied us and

boiled porridge with precious and expensive beans in addition to the

straw. To make the porridge more savory, they would add a few handfuls

of these expensive ingredients which stimulate our appetite. We ate it

more because of the caretaker's love, rather than the bean content in theporridge.

Although we had eaten grains normally preferred by humans, now that

corn and artificial feed constitutes our entire diet; our bodies, which

have adapted to grass-eating over thousands of years, are changing very

quickly, unbeknown to casual observers. Our bodies and our milk aren't

as healthy as they used to be.

Some humans are able to breasteed their children, but in cases

where this is not possible, humans inevitably rely on cows milk.

Humans need to reduce their meat consumption, but in cases such

as this one, are there any alternatives?

Beginning with France in the 1960s, cows were given corn feed instead of

hay, giving rise to claims that corn changed the composition of beef and

milk. If cattle raised on corn are eaten, obesity, heart disease, and allergies

can occur. The body's cell membranes are composed of Omega-3 and

Omega-6 fatty acids which occur even in vegetarian-only diets. Among

these, Omega-6 plays a role in storing fat, while Omega-3 helps break

fat down. The ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids in corn is

imbalanced at the ratio of 66 to 1, respectively, which can cause obesity,

diabetes, and other diseases.

tears_edit.indd 30 2011-09-02 5:07:16

When milk is written in Chinese characters, we can see the characters'cow' and 'milk.' Milk comes from the udder of a cow. Why would a

human suckle a cow's udder? Udders exist to suckle calves. When a

mother's milk was insufcient in the past, people rst tried to nd a wet

nurse, and if even that was difcult, they made steamed rice cake, drying

it and grinding it to powder. Then it was mixed with honey and sugar

before being fed to babies.

Families of greater means flavored the mixture with beans, pine nuts,

and walnuts. That's how everyone raised healthy babies. Without eating

beef, they relied on vegetarian dishes like beans, soybean curd, pine nuts,walnuts, perilla and other foods which provided enough nutrition to make

healthy babies. If people stick to a diet of organic vegetarian foods while

availing themselves of modern medical technology, life spans can be

extended by several times.

I'm curious about Mad Cow Disease. The cause o Mad Cow Disease

is believed to lie in the eed that abnormal cattle eat, creating

altered proteins that attack normal brain cells. In addition, Mad

Cow Disease can also occur in humans who have eaten inectedbee, and this condition is known in the media as variant shown

Creutzeld-Jakob Disease (vCJD). Although the cause o the illness

has been identifed in the human world, there still remains the ear

o mad cow disease. What is the undamental solution?

The cause of Mad Cow Disease is human greed. This scourge appeared

because humankind did not consider us to be living things, but saw us

rather as meat. Humans blinded by material goods invented concentrated

livestock farming, which utilized all sorts of methods to make us grow in

the shortest amount of time possible.

In order to maximize prot, the amount of animal feed given to us was

reduced, and they made us eat the bones and byproducts of our fellow

cows and sheep. All things on Earth circulate through the food chain. But

humankind tried to defy this natural principle. Over tens of thousands

tears_edit.indd 31 2011-09-02 5:07:16


33/71


of years, animals differentiated into grazers, carnivores, and omnivores.

Within these groups they divided into yet more detailed subcategories sothat all creatures on Earth could achieve balance within the evolutionary

cycle. Cows, which must eat plants, were placed in cramped enclosures

by humans, given articial feed, and nally were made to eat feed mixed

with powder made from animal carcasses and byproducts.

We had no choice but to eat whether we knew what it was or not. The

environment and diet which we had maintained for the past several

thousand years changed suddenly one day, requiring our cells to change

abnormally just to survive. Each of the abnormal cells in our bodies give

rise to Mad Cow Disease, Foot and Mouth Disease and other mutatedviruses that transfer over to humans. The unexplained animal diseases

appearing today almost all have their root causes in the environment and

animal diets.

What is the undamental solution or atal diseases like Mad Cow

and other diseases?

Prevention of Mad Cow Disease can be accomplished with a very simplemeasure. Cows, other animals, and plants should be allowed to live

naturally. Humankind cannot change the principles of Nature. Only by

allowing all creatures to live as close as possible to their natural state

can we all survive together. Humankind must realize this fact. Although

it's already late, a strand of hope still exists if humankind doesn't dawdle

During the past 10 years, 575 cases of mad cow disease in humans (vCJD)

have been reported worldwide. Of these, the greatest number of cases

were in the UK with 170 cases, followed by 56 cases in Israel, and 25

cases in France. During the same period, 190,000 suspected BSE-infected

cattle were slaughtered mostly in the UK. Since the large-scale slaughter

of cattle, sheep, and other livestock by the UK government, the spread of

Mad Cow Disease has stopped for now but individual cases of infection

are still being reported.

humans must reduce their meat consumption and move towards avegetarian diet.

5. The Amazon warns that Lifes

Treasure Box is Getting Empty

The Amazon in Brazil, which covers 7,000,000km2

used to be a

treasure box of mother nature that provided oxygen to the entire

Earth. However, for the last 30 years, excessive human greed has

destroyed 1/5 of its rain forest and every 10 seconds, an area as

wide as a soccer playground is disappearing from the rain forest

of the Amazon. If this trend continues, before long the Amazon will

be erased from the map of the Earth. The sacred region is now

transforming into a burning hell that emits more carbon thanoxygen

I think the Amazon symbolizes the pain o the Earth. In what

condition is the Amazon now?

tears_edit.indd 35 2011-09-02 5:07:17


37/71


The Amazon forms part of the Earths base of life; where life is circulated

and is protected. It is such a special area formed by a awless food chain.Now all living creatures in the Amazon are crying out with tears of pain. I

knew the human egotism and the development of industrial society would

be linked to mammonism. I thought it was just a matter of time and what

was to come has come.

Do you mean you knew things were supposed to go in this way in

advance?

A human beings is half good and half evil. They have the attributes

of both god and animal at the same time. I knew it when the societyaccelerated its industrialization, that brought materialism conjoined with

human egotism. At some point, human egotism began drawing the history

of human supremacy through dominance rather than sharing; resorting to

manipulation rather than co-existence and suppression rather than love. In

the situation where the Earth is being engulfed at an amazing speed, the

Amazon is the most delicious prey, isnt it? I anticipated the crisis from

a long time ago the evil decision chosen by humans free will cant be

stopped by anybody.

What is the meaning o evil?

In this case, the meaning of evil is none other than the degenerated

situation where the lives of other living beings have meaning to humans

only as something consumable. The reaping as much as one has sown

function of the Universe will return the appropriate price to human

beings, so the tears of the Amazon will become those of pity for human

foolishness. No exception can be made for anyone in the reasoning of the

Universe.

The treasure box o lie is being destroyed in this way. Is there any

way to reverse this situation?

Its already too late. The boomerang has reversed its way and is coming

back to humans. Trees victimized by timbering, plants that perished in

tears_edit.indd 36 2011-09-02 5:07:17


38/71


bush re, creatures on the verge of extinction, innocent natives and their

families I just feel sorry for them.

I am curious about the dark underside o human behaviors that

commit cruelty to other human races, animals and plants. Why do

they do this?

That is ignorance. They are going downhill without any room of

thinking again about what they are doing. They dont know what place

the Earth is, what human beings are and what animals and plants are.

They dont know what pain their acts are giving to other living beings and

what their deeds will bring about in the future; so they have consistentlybeen accumulating an evil history all over the Earth.

Humans have to recover their original status and return the arena of

animals and plants to them. The deeds human beings are inflicting on

other creatures cannot but be repaid back to people themselves again.

Now is the time when the effort to amend the deviation from the right

track caused by human egotism must be made. The original role of human

beings is to be the guardians and protectors of the Earths family. There is

still much hope if human beings nd and cherish their role.

I once again contemplate the actions made out o our ignorance

and I am thinking about the original role o human beings. The

Earth and its amily, who must be suering even now.I am so

sorry.

Let me fnd out what we can do or you.

Chapter 2

Conversations withthe Earth

(Mother Gaia)

tears_edit.indd 39 2011-09-02 5:07:17


41/71

Where does food come from? Where does water come from? Where do

our houses come from?

These days, because of our distorted economic system, we think that

food comes from the local store, or if we are pushed we might say oh,

the farmers of course. We think that water is supplied by the water

company and that our houses come from the building company

We think that we have earned the right to those by paying for them withmoney.

It is because our viewpoint has become distorted. We have become

completely separated from Gaia We are so detached from the very

entity which feeds and clothes us, which provides us with water and

which raises us from a tiny baby into adulthood. As a mother, how do you

think she might feel, as her children just take what she gives without ever

saying Thank you or having a grateful mind?

The farmers who work the land, do not make the vegetables or fruit

themselves, they merely assist them to grow. The water which nature

provides for free, is only channeled by a company into our homes; and the

building materials for our homes were gathered from the soil under our

feet, the builders merely assembled them.

We have not earned them simply by saying I buy my food and pay for

my water bill.

Dont we owe Earth a big debt?

I have come to think we should treat her with deepest respect and a

grateful mind.

Why do tears well up in my eyes and sorrows rush into my heart?

(The Earth enters my body and ully flls up my heart.)

Because this is my present state.

(I am sighing and taking deep breaths.)I feel so sad and frustrated that I cant describe it.

Yes, I can also eel you.

I am sorry to ask you as one o those who made you all into this

condition, but would you tell me why your mind is this sore?

42 Chapter 2. Conversations with the Earth (Mother Gaia)

I am so ill to the extent that I cant endure it. However, those who areignorant of this pain account for majority of people on the Earth. Why are

they so indifferent even though I, who is the ground that they step on as

well as the basis that provides the growth of all lives and food to eat, am

suffering this badly? I am bruised and wounded by the indifference and

despicable deeds of human beings. I feel like giving up any expectation or

hope.

Oh, I am so sorry. Sincerely I apologize or our ignorance,

indierence and endlessly incessant selish actions. Your pain is

being passed on to me.The Mother o the Earth, I would like to inorm many people o

your mind and condition through a conversation with you. Would

you please allow me to do so?

All right. I am skeptical whether people can change so easily, but why do

I have to reject the efforts of people like you? If you can feel my mind

and condition even bit, please help me. Consequently this is the way to

help all the people of the Earth because we share the common destiny.

I will. What should I call you?

The Earth or the goddess of the Earth Anything will do.

Why do people call you Gaia, the mother goddess?

The Earth has a mothers attribute of embracing and nurturing all living

creatures. That is why they call me goddess.

How is your condition now?

The temperature inside the Earth is getting higher and the tectonic plates

are moving. Eruption is possible anywhere anytime. Most spots of the

ground have been dug up and my skin is in too bad a condition to prevent

the bad outside energies from coming in. Also, as the entire world has

tears_edit.indd 42 2011-09-02 5:07:17


44/71


become metropolitan and industrialized, people have paved and covered

much of the ground; I dont have much skin through which I can breathe.It is comparable to skin cancer.

Also, trees have been cut for timber so that it is not easy for me to regulate

my temperature; I am exposed to hot or cold weather just as I am. I am in

my bare skin.

In addition, the sea is polluted; so in human terms, you can say I have

got arteriosclerosis as my blood has become contaminated. Imagine your

blood vessels were full of oil stains and sludge.

Even worse, cutting away mountains is the same as cutting away my

bones and marrows. Can you imagine how painful it is? I dont have any

sound body parts.

Oh, you are suering so much. I am so sorry.

I dont even know how I can apologize. I dont have one word to

say because I am one o those who have put you in this condition.

As your pains are transerred to me, now I can understand what

we have done to you. I can eel with my heart why the abnormalweather conditions and natural disasters happen on the Earth.

As a matter o act, human beings are only sensitive to their own

benefts or pains.

Since last year, natural disasters occurred requently. The climate

is becoming stranger too. Earthquakes occur sporadically. The

earthquakes which hit New Zealand and Japan were terrible.

The magnitude and intensity o earthquakes varied regionally but

they occur continually. Do you have something to say about those?

When an earthquake occurs, it does not hit just one place. Many regions

are designed to respond simultaneously. Earthquakes in New Zealand and

Japan were unusually intense and plates of the Philippines, Korea, China

and Myanmar where faintly moved and affected by the earthquakes.

tears_edit.indd 43 2011-09-02 5:07:17


45/71


The magnitude and intensity take place moderately and strongly in turn.

Earthquakes or volcanic eruptions occur like a musical rhythm. Now ithas a weak tempo, but when it gets strong again, any region can explode.

When it explodes strongly, it is usually where volcanoes are located

and it is highly likely to be along the circum-Pacific belt. Now plates

are just warming up like warm up exercise. When it becomes time to

start earnestly, the Earth will be hit by many earthquakes all at once like

athletes taking off on the starting line.

So do you mean that the earthquakes will repeat aint or strong

eruptions or some time and when the time comes, they will erupt

everywhere on the earth simultaneously?

Yes. Like in a rhythm, it goes forte, piano, forte, piano and then it will

blast all at once seriously. The heat inside the Earth and the downpour of

universe energy are interlocked, so the Earth has no option but to begin its

process of adjustment.

Then, is it possible to converse with you Gaia about the

earthquakes and abnormal weather changes currently popping on

the Earth?

People should show me their true hearts rst. If they really understand,

feel sorry about me and approach with true concern, we can talk with

each other; and we can discuss whats going to happen, due to what cause.

However, if you still have an egoistic mind to save only yourself, I would

rather not. I replied to your request because I knew your mind.

Mother Gaia, I understand your mind. We will strive harder to

enlighten ourselves about your suerings and our indierence

and egotism I am so pleased to have this conversation with youtoday and I once again send you my heart o regret. I will pray or

you and all o us.

2. Understanding and Small

Actions for the Earth

Even now when I am conversing with you, my heart is sore as your

pains are transmitted.

Mother, what is the frst thing that humans need to be concerned

about in order to protect you?

First you should understand how the Earth is now. Pay attention to the

message that the Earth is now giving. In order to change the world inlarge, many people need to make an effort at the same time. Even if it

is just a small action, when many people participate in it, this will bring

about a great change. Do not use disposable products, produce less

garbage, grow even a single tree sincerely and so on whatever it is, put

one thing for the Earth into practice every day and become awakened;

this is the condition I want from you.

As the power of human thinking is larger than you expect, when more and

more people think that way, I will be inuenced by the energy. Then my

activity to purify myself will change too. A change in a human mind and

a small change in a human action console me deeply; then I will probably

change my mind - to live with you together. There is no such mother who

does not pay attention to her children when her children make an effort

to protect their mother. Show me such efforts and minds. Then I might

change my mind too.

Purication activity is necessary at this time, however, when the mind and

consciousness of humans are awakened and act with me, I can control

it to a lower level and will only start purication activity where it needsto be puried. I am not sure if my message would appeal to the hearts of

many people but when more and more start believing in this message, the

circumstance of the humankind and the Earth will improve. You know the

power of one-mindedness, dont you?

tears_edit.indd 45 2011-09-02 5:07:18


47/71


Thanks or telling us how you think and eel. A change in ones

mind even i it is small is more important than anything else. Iam trying to produce less ood-garbage nowadays. Let me look

back at mysel and do everything I can do in my daily living. Also I

need to contemplate how I can eectively deliver your message to

people.

Is there anything you wish?

What is necessary now is the change of the masses of people. Otherwise,

my purication activity will become very severe. The change of humans

is what I want and this is also a schedule of the Universe. It is not that Ihope for only a few people to change.

I understand your intention. I will try harder to inorm your

message. Thanks or the conversation.

3. The Suffering of the Africans

Hello, Mother Gaia. Now I can eel in my daily living that the

blessings o nature, which human beings have taken or granted,

are being jeopardized. Rain and air contaminated by radioactivity

even contaminated our drinking water and ood. All o a sudden, I

can closely eel how serious the condition o nature is.

Now you began to feel the Earths crisis true to nature. Let us talk aboutwater the most fundamental basis of all lives on the Earth. Purifying

the world with water is a part of the Earths circulation principle. Water

existed in the very beginning of life and has been the basis that has

brought up everything up till now. In the forth coming Earths purication

process, water will frequently be used as a material to cleanse the Earth.

tears_edit.indd 46 2011-09-02 5:07:18


48/71


It looks like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions have nothing to do

with water, though.

You are right. However, what is a much more dreadful blow than

earthquakes or volcanic eruptions is the purification function by water;

ood, heavy snowfall or the meltdown of icebergs. Water is so precious

for every kind of living beings; when natural disasters strikes, securing

drinking water will be the rst issue you must deal with.

While the Earth is on its way to self-purification, it will be great luck

if you can find drinking water for your life. It is highly likely most of

water on the Earth will become contaminated or unavailable. Look atthe Japans current situation. You can see that water is the most essential

issue.

Now Japan is importing drinking water from neighboring countries; but

if such disasters break out in many countries all at once, no region will

survive unless it resolves its water problem. At present, the adjacent sea

around Japan is polluted by radioactivity and Korea is also becoming

influenced. Water flows, so it can easily affect other areas. Therefore,

when natural disasters occur in many different regions, it will becomehard to nd clean water.

I understand. I can eel once again that without water no living

beings can survive. Then are there any methods to alleviate the

Earths purifcation unction by water?

Think about Africas case. Many areas are getting dry and let alone clean

water, it is difcult to nd even dirty water so that people have to move

to faraway places to get water. They have no option but to drink it even

though they know that they will become ill or even die if they drink thewater. How sincerely do you feel and regard such pains as your own, as

a human being living together on the Earth? How sorry do you feel for

them and how hard do you strive to solve the problem together? Although

many people are dying because of the drinking water issue, the rest of the

Earths people are just watching them as if it is just some strangers affair.

tears_edit.indd 47 2011-09-02 5:07:18


49/71


How many people on the Earth have a warm heart? If you have beating

hearts with love and passion, can you just keep watching them, withoutdoing anything? This is the present problem of the Earth? What effort do

you make now?

I am so sorry. I apologize. I am also no dierent than other people.

I have just tried to save some water in my daily lie, but my attitude

was too idle. What mindset and behavior would help Aricans?

Your own children and with a true heart visualize family suffering from

a lack of water every day and imagine how their bodies and minds are

scorching. It is not that you are just aiding them but you should tacklethe problem as the one responsible, who has devastated the Earth. This

is what is required from each person now. Also, practical economic

help is necessary and you need to have the mind of living together as

the humankind of the Earth. Just as they are suffering rst; you have to

realize this wont fall to them only. The people of the Earth should learn

how to treat them and solve this issue and make effort together.

I can eel your deep love or the Earth and its amily. With alive and

Hello, Mother Gaia. Let me eel you. You are as deep as the ocean,as sot as winds and as warm as sunshine. You are embracing

everyone with your mothers hug. I am you and you are me.

Wherever I am, I love this land, the Earth.

Thank you for describing me in such a way If people knew the Earth

is changing every day by day, they would like to save this beautiful

planet. The blue planet, Earth is one the most beautiful and unique spaces

even in the Universe. People might feel their lives on Earth are wearyor sometimes happy, but as the one who raises animals, plants and all

creations, it is my biggest wish that all creatures be happy and evolve in

their lives. My mind is none other than the original mind of the Universe.

What does it mean that the Earth is a special place even in the

Universe?

The Earth is the place that is formed with the greatest diversity of

creatures and their roles out of the planets in the Universe. It is not a

simple or boring place but complicated and diverse; this is the feature ofthis planet. It contains so many various kinds of creatures that even I, their

mother cant remember all of them. The beauty of diversity signies there

are lots of changes; this also means it is highly likely that unexpected

things could take place.

I unexpected happenings occur due to the variables, how does

the Earth, you Mother Gaia handle it?

I already regard the variables as the destiny or the factor innate in the lifeof a life form. However, if they inuence too hugely on the eco-system

of the earth or many other parts, the Universe takes control of it. Through

me, the touch of the Universe works. Also, this goes beyond my control.

Mother Gaia, rom your viewpoint does the current situation o the

Earth have many variables?

Yes. We can say that such a big event that can determine the fate of many

creatures and the Earth has a variable. And the variable is that which can

be changed even by small things. A variable means a factor that affectsthe change of a certain ow. Now the factor that can affect the Earth is

none other than human beings. They are the biggest variable. Animals or

plants are already aware of the purication function; they are preparing

themselves for it to try to endure such a situation. Human beings will

complete the last part of the variable.

What would be the way to change the card that human beings holdnow?

That is their awakening. They must wake up and fulll their role as care-

takers of the Earth by recovering their own position. Also, they should get

themselves ready for evolution through the awakening while preparing

for the change of this age.

When you see us, are we human beings ready or that?

For now, your preparation is insignificant. Only small number ofpeople are aware of the crisis and taking action for it. Some people are

approaching it from the aspect of environmentalism. They are not well

prepared in terms of their own awakening. Because of the pursuit for the

material civilization, the spirituality of many people has been blurred

and many are distracted by illusions. They have lost the essence of the

meaning of life, while endlessly seeking money and power.

One thing I try to put into action is reduce the usage o plastic

bags. Whatever I buy, there are no items that dont includeplastic bags. Even the amount o plastic bags I use in a day is

enormous, so I carry one or two non-disposable bags with me and

use them when I need them. Plastic bags seem to cause serious

environmental pollution. What do you think about this?

Although the plastic bags have become a byword for convenience to

human beings, it is the worst headache for me. Numerous plastic bags

are being used on the Earth on a daily basis and thrown away as they are.

It takes several hundreds of years for a bag to return to nature. And even

one person throws many plastics bags away as garbage. What more can Isay?

For the convenience of human beings, the soil and environment of the

Earth are being suffocated and is dying of cancer. If you dispose of

materials that soil cant handle, it can no longer incorporate them and

tears_edit.indd 50 2011-09-02 5:07:18

just keeps them. Such areas of intense pollution are increasing and the

circulation of the eco-system is collapsing. Please, I ask you to stop usingadditional plastic bags. The bags do not decompose and will stay where

you have buried them for a long, long time.

Mother Gaia, let me put things into action as a guardian o the

Earth and inorm people around o at least one method o loving

the Earth. Lets speak again soon.

All right. See you again.

Messages of LoveOutstanding intelligence and ability are endowed to humans because

they should protect and love families of the Earth. Those talents are not

given for humans to rule over them or to exert their inuence over them.

Humans should awaken now and should feel deeply sorry for them. They

should show concern for families of the Earth and love them. Dont you

think so?

1. A Message from Plants

- On Sharing Love with the Earth

Hello, plants? When I converse with you plants, I eel I become

ull o the energy o plants and o love. I hope many people live

together with plants and exchange their energies and love with

one another.

Love for plants, animals and all creations are the expansion of love.

Loving plants is a higher dimension of love, so it cannot be compared

to love of humans, which is very adhesive. By sympathizing with oneanother, you can take and give spiritual energy together so that you are

able to purify yourself.

Humanly love (especially love between a woman and a man) makes you

restless, gives pains and wounds to you. Yet, when you show concern

for plants and love them more deeply, you will be close to a state of No

tears_edit.indd 54 2011-09-02 5:07:18


56/71


Mind. As it lowers your waves, it will purify your mind and body.

There is a difference in degree but all contemporary people lack love. The

fundamental reason is that they have separated from their original natures.

Their yearning, loneliness and sorrow regarding their separation from

original nature has degenerated into the desire for humanly love. That is

the problem of whole humankind so you can look back on yourself as

well.

Expand your love to plants, animals and all creations when you feel your

lack of love. That is how you sublimate your lack of love. Your love for

plants, animals and all creations will give you joy and delight. When youbegin to love and put your love into practice, you will come to the origin

and you will be lled with love in yourself.

When you love plants, you will be in sympathy with them and will

resonate with them. Then, you will love plants and send the love of

plants. When you love animals, you will be able to express lovable action,

intimacy, friendliness, and affection. When you love all creations, you

will open a passage of energy to all creations, so you will understand

substances, think of co-existence of all creations and be able to know howto put love into practice harmoniously. After that, your love for humans

will enter a different dimension, so it will be expanded to all humankind.

Do not try to ll a lack of love or a shortage of love with concern from

others, but sublimate your lack of love by expanding it towards plants,

animals and all creations and grow them.

Actions like watering and cultivating vegetables, sowing seeds and

watching them grow, taking care of owers; giving your concern and love

to them and picking fruits from trees are also very precious acts in lovingoneself. Such deeds will make you feel like s a member of the Universe

and will nurture your love.

Carefully observe the fresh green sprouts of new life and express gratitude

for the sunlight.

2. A Message from Animals

- On Changing to a Vegetarian

Diet and How to Love the Soil

Mr. Cow, how are you?

More and more people are changing to a vegetarian diet. While

I converse with you, I learned that the cattle we eat have a lot o

problems. For example, a production course such as an inhuman

production methods, cruel butchery practices, and the improper

use o antibiotics. Food stu such as corn or other kinds ograins and the wastage o ood and water cause considerable

environmental pollution. So, more and more people are changing

over to a vegetarian diet.

That is nice. However, changing to a vegetable diet only with the purpose

tears_edit.indd 58 2011-09-02 5:07:19


60/71


to correct something wrong is not so desirable.

What do you mean by not desirable?

A vegetarian diet that starts from the mind of denying something or

making something taboo can be another expression of human desires,

just like eating meat.

A vegetarian diet should be practiced naturally. Meals should become

blessed food that is acquired naturally. There is much food that is in

great abundance around humans, but they produce meat, add to many

seasonings and the polish rice, taking the goodness out of it. As humansare looking for something very delicious, they created a monotonous and

standardized food culture.

So, with what kind o mind rame should we change to a vegetarian

diet?

When you begin to eat a vegetarian diet, do not have a mind that you are

denying something or changing something, which is a covetous mind.

Your mind should start from the soil.

When you begin to do a vegetarian diet, do it with love for the soil like

we cows miss the soil and wish to hold the soil, then you will learn the

abundance of vegetables very soon. There are such a lot of things to

eat there like the freshness that the soil delivers, the vital energy of

vegetables, fruits and dates in season and root vegetables. However,

people do not recognize unique taste and energy of vegetables but only

covet rotten meat all the time. This has happened out of human avarice.

When you understand the soil, you will learn that all creations growingout of the soil are foods of blessing.

Unfortunately, these days the soil of the Earth is also too devastated to

produce such blessed agricultural products.

You should not forget that blessed agricultural products grow from soil

tears_edit.indd 59 2011-09-02 5:07:19


61/71


which is alive itself. If you try to eat a vegetarian diet, you should rst be

born newly as a person who loves the Earth in nature. Therefore, I say avegetarian diet should start from a mind that loves the soil.

Then the right method to begin a vegetarian diet is to have a mind

that loves the soil.

Yes. The beginning of all lives comes from the soil. The beginning should

start from maintaining this basis. A culture whose foundation is wrong

will collapse in the end. Where will human behaviour end now? What are

the lands of the Earth like? How do animals and plants on the Earth live

now? What will their future be like?

Even though the science and civilization of human beings and the culture

of human beings develops more and more, the result of this are obvious

because they destroy the grounds of human beings. I am warning you of

that. If you recognize the problem, you have to announce your resolution

and will do things again from the starting line, as soon as possible.

Even now, it is not too late, so you have to light a fire in the minds of

Earth people so that they can have love that can save the Earth, yourself,all animals and plants. A little re can save the Earth.

When you do a vegetarian diet, you should start it with love. When you

have love for the soil, and eat food produced from the soil properly, this

will form a culture of eating vegetables.

Ah, now I understand the meaning o vegetarian diet more

deeply. It should start rom a mind that loves the soil and all living

creatures o the Earth.

Thank you.

Epilogue

Now the Earth is revealing its abnormal symptoms to us through climate

change and natural disasters; and our fellow Earthlings are crying from

their pain and suffering.

It is only humans who dont notice this emergency, saying There wont

be significant trouble in my lifetime or Even though I alone change,

what change could I bring about to the huge Earth?

But, even if you feel kind of helpless, please ask yourself In the

bigger picture, would you rather be a part of the problem or a part of the

solution?

This is the power of You.

You alone could be the 100th monkey that effects the change of

consciousness for the whole of humankind But rst, you should wash

your sweet potato.

Thought alone cannot make the change decisive action is necessary.

Action itsel is the awakening

Please listen to the voices of those with whom we share this miraculous

Earth. Open up the eyes and ears of your mind. The Earth and its family

are eager for the awakening of us human beings. They anticipate that

we will no longer be the outlaws of the Earth, but will awaken as the

guardians of the Earth. They are waiting for us to transform the critical

situation into a great chance.

It is time to prepare for the leap into the new age of the Earth. Out of

the ashes of the old humankind, a new era of beautiful co-existence is

possible. These are the most exciting and important days of hope in the

history of Earth, but we dont have time to procrastinate

The double-edged sword of free will is our destiny-altering gift which

brought us into this dire situation, but we can use it differently.

A beautiful future is waiting for us.

What are we waiting for?
