Diamonds in the Sky

By  Jennifer Deisher

Contributing Writer for Wake Up World

A “diamond planet” was discovered in late 2012 and I’ve been fascinated by it ever since I heard about it – but didn’t really know why. As with most things recently, I wonder why these things stick out in my mind and therefore, what it was offering me on  my spiritual journey. Then I  put it together when I read an article from Forbes magazine  about the diamond planet and the monetary “value” that was placed on it –  $26.9 Nonillion (which is 26.9 followed by 30 zeros).

Here is a quote from the article I’m referring to “There is no doubt in my mind that it would be quite valuable for those of us on earth to be able to mine The Diamond Planet and sell its raw diamonds. Naturally, there is a question of whether all that supply could be absorbed by the market.”

It led me to wonder about our values: Is humanity  so disconnected that we speculate about the potential mining  value of  a newly  discovered planet rather than marvel at its creation?  Isn’t there an inherent problem with this kind of thinking?

The concept  that humanity  has  any right to consider mining this far off planet for diamonds and selling them here on Earth is not only arrogant, it demonstrates our skewed priorities and the extent of the illusions that make up  our disintegrating  reality.  Diamonds are only considered  “valuable” because our society attributes a specific value to them. The  perceived monetary value of the ‘diamond planet’  serves as a  distraction from our true  nature – curiosity and  scientific enquiry about this amazing discovery.

For many of us today, we have forgotten where we come from and our true Divine Nature.  I know that I had,  and it’s been quite the journey finally  “remembering” many of those things; those  Universal truths. The process has pushed my mind to the “brink of insanity” and back again, and  somehow, I always come back to myself, finding peace in  my heart’s connection to Mother Earth.

Honoring the Divine Feminine

I have a very strong connection with Mother Earth and Grandmother Moon, and my awakening has been  very “feminine” in nature. But, we can’t have Life without both aspects – yin/yang, masculine/feminine, night/day. As with most things there is “duality”, and the duality that I’m referring to right now is the God/Goddess elements of our  spirituality.

I have read a great many things about this duality, and specifically about how many  calendars used to be both Solar and Lunar.  As we moved  away from recognizing the Lunar aspect of time in  our calendars, we have also moved  away from the Lunar side of our spirituality  – the Goddess, or  Divine Feminine.

The Goddess is the intuitive side of our nature. She  is our  feminine  aspects; the side of us that nurtures, that forgives, shows compassion, and  is guided by  emotional intelligence. She  respects life and the Earth, has the power to heal, and a loving “maternal”  instinct toward others. Respect for the Goddess energy is what has been missing from our society – and from our consciousness –  for so very long. And she is trying very hard to get our attention.

We are all one in creation and Mother Earth is no exception. She  provides everything we need to live abundant and sustainable lives. She is generous and plentiful, but she also must  be seen and respected as such. She will  provide us with all of the resources we will ever need, if we work with  her natural flow instead of against her; if we acknowledge her being and co-exist with her. But today, we as a species have taken what she has offered us, and more, and put a monetary value on it. We systematically compete for her abundance, as though it is scarce.

Scarcity or Abundance?

Of course we all need money to survive, right? Well, I say wrong. We need the Earth to survive, and she has provided us with everything we need to do so. I mean, we can’t eat  money right?

Money is only a representation of an energy exchange. On its own, it’s not a bad concept.  The problem is that our current monetary and resource systems have been corrupted. A culture of  scarcity and competition – instead  of abundance and cooperation –  has been deliberately cultivated, while  mechanisms like fractional reserve banking ensure that wealth is funnelled away from the  general population and into the hands of a few power brokers.  Our nation’s “leaders” are  at war with one another over land, money and oil, and it’s happening as we speak.

We have taken so much from our Mother without giving back, and we have reached  the point  in our relationship where our acquisitive behavior will no longer be tolerated, so to speak. We have created a system that is no longer working for Mother, or humanity, and it’s collapsing all around us as we speak. When  enough people  wake up to what is happening – and it’s coming – we can  begin to  reclaim and  rebuild our  societies in alignment  with our true nature:  our beautiful Mother Earth.

Beautiful Mother

I often wondered how  we could ever place a  monetary value on gifts of life from nature, such as food and water. Why so many must go hungry when our Mother has provided plenty for all  of us, if only we would cooperate.

I often wondered why I didn’t have the freedom to live where I wanted on this beautiful planet; why I was “restricted” to a certain area just because of where I was born. Am I not free to roam, to  explore, to see all the  gifts of Mother Earth? Why does someone else get to  decide  where I can  go?

What isn’t working for you?

Right now we have the  opportunity and the  obligation to ask ourselves – What we can do to break the cycle that is no longer working? What does our beautiful Mother need from us, in return for her sustenance? What do we  want and need our  societies to look like going forward?

It is all of our responsibility to open ourselves up to these questions. Until we show reverence for our  Mother Earth, she  will be sure that we continue  to see and hear and feel her.  She will rumble and roar until we look up to See her and ask her what she needs to thrive.

As Mother Earth  continues to realign herself to a higher vibration, we are in a unique position; we have both  the power and the need to manifest a new  reality together, creating something new, different and beautiful.

We are diamonds,  and it is our job to take care of our Mother who has provided us with sustenance and life.

We are diamonds, and it is our job to make sure that no one around us goes hungry or without shelter, or natural freedoms, or love.

We are diamonds, right here on Mother Earth, and it is our responsibility at this time in history to shine bright with our inner light and change our very reality.

See her, feel her, taste her, smell her, and LOVE her.

See, feel, taste and love  EACH OTHER!

We don’t need to mine diamonds from the sky. I already see diamonds… everywhere!
