Severe water shortages are affecting other parts of the world too, and whenever there is an imbalance in the cycles of nature on Earth the cause, other than an extra-terrestrial collision, usually is Man. You understand, I am sure, how your actions vis a vis another person can create a karmic debt which must, one day, be repaid in kind - and the longer you take to do so the more debt interest has accrued on the original: what is forgotten, too often, is that what you do to the non-human occupants of your planet by way of abuse or cruelty has repercussions that affect everything, and that one day, for the sake of your soul and as part of the spiritual Law of Balance, you will be asked, by Gaia, to pay for what you have done.
What I write is hard, but it is true, and even if you have not been involved directly in harming Earth, your acquiescence or profiting by the misuse of her assets creates karma in you.
Britain is an island which is surrounded by water and has an abundance of water upon her lands, and for the first twenty years of my life the complaint often was of took much rainfall and cool conditions. Then, a zeal for industrialisation both in terms of building and farming methods, the introduction of hugely damaging pesticides, the degradation of the countryside and excessive demand for more and more water to accommodate an unsustainable level of population expansion caused an already fragile ecosystem to collapse, and meanwhile other more global factors were encouraging climate change as we know it. What have we done?
You, and I, owe Gaia: we are hugely in her debt and in so many ways she is showing us the consequences of our actions now as often devastating excesses or shortages of her resources have their impact. In the UK, the availability of water for building, farming and comfort has been taken for granted for decades, and it will be a shock when food prices go up, gardens are dry and domestic water is rationed - all of which is likely this summer for much of this land. It is karma in action, but by recognising it and changing our relationship with the world of nature now we can, perhaps, repay our debts once and for all - and even be in credit.]]>
