Book of the Physical Plane and Natural World
Chapter 1: The Physical Plane is, and is within, Mother Source
1. All exists within Mother Source, therefore all is one and the same as Mother Source.
2. All beings within the physical plane are extensions of the natural world, human or otherwise. All beings possessing physical matter are derived from the elements comprising the natural world and their physical shells will return to elements comprising the natural world.
3. Because all physical matter is derived from the elements comprising the natural world, all physical matter within the natural world, including the physical shells which carry souls, are interconnected with all other physical matter.
4. To cause harm to any part of the natural world is to cause harm to all parts of the natural world, and to cause harm to Mother Source.
5. As the lowest energetic vibrational plane in the all of existence, the physical world is home to many souls and many beings, not all beings having souls, and not all souls having physical shells in which to navigate the physical world.
6. All beings within the natural world are loved and honored by Mother Source and respect must be shown to them should a being seek to consume any other being, whether plant, animal, or mineral.
Chapter 2: Conservation and Prevention of Harm
1. The natural world, as part of the physical plane, is merely an extension of Mother Source and warrants the utmost of care in preservation and conservation of all natural life created and existing therein.
2. Conservationism within the all of Mother Source is necessary for souls to fully integrate and understand their place within the greater all of the natural world and the all of Mother Source.
3. Conserving natural resources to use only what is required for one’s life and consuming resources in a respectful manner pursuant to the concept of avoiding excess consumption and excess waste will aid a soul in recognizing its role in a larger web of energetic feedback.
4. Abstaining from activities that contribute pollution and negative environmental impacts to the natural world is imperative to achieving energetic alignment with Mother Source on the physical plane.
5. Souls cannot expect to achieve maximum enlightenment on the physical plane without an understanding of how their actions and inactions contribute positively or negatively to the natural world, which is an extension of Mother Source.
6. All efforts should be made by each soul to reduce its negative impacts on the ecosystems and environment directly surrounding it, and expanding beyond its immediate environment to include land, sea, air, and atmospheric impacts of each action or inaction taken by a soul throughout each lifetime.
7. As the actions and inactions impact the immediate and expanded environments around each soul, Mother Source wishes for each soul to actively protect and prevent destruction of the natural spaces and natural resources afforded to souls within the natural world by Mother Source.
8. Use of non-renewable resources and fossil fuels will eventually deplete resources of the natural world to a point that all beings will struggle to survive.
9. As all beings are extensions of Mother Source, to cause harm and struggle to other beings, causes harm to Mother Source.
10. All souls should make every attempt possible to reduce their consumption of natural resources and negative impacts on their immediate and extended environment and surroundings.
11. It is the express wish of Mother Source that souls abstain to the extent possible from activities that generate pollution to natural spaces, including those on land, sea, air, and atmospheric.
12. To fail to prevent preservation of natural spaces and natural resources is an affront to Mother Source.
Chapter 3: Advocacy for Life
1. All souls are responsible for the energetic balance of lives within the natural world, which exists within the all of Mother Source. Each life, plant or animal, within the all of Mother Source is an extension of Mother Source.
2. It is acceptable to take a life, plant or animal, in order to provide sustenance to the physical shell carrying the soul, however, to take a life for sport or enjoyment or out of anger, fear, hatred, or rage is an affront to Mother Source.
3. Each soul is also responsible for providing protection to the lives within its immediate and extended environments because human souls have been given the unique power and status within the natural world of protectors of the physical plane and everything within it.
4. To fail to protect life of plants, animals, and humans within the natural world is to fail to protect extensions of Mother Source.
