“
Whatever is the seed of all beings, I am that, there is
nothing animate or inanimate which can exist without me.”
Bhagavad Gita
nothing animate or inanimate which can exist without me.”
Bhagavad Gita
Since time began the individual spirit has
been entrained to that of the Divine. There is
no deeper relationship that exists in the world than between the soul and Divinity.
A SACRED COVENANT
Sacred Ecology 33 is a way of being in relationship to all that exists, manifested by the One God. We promote conscious change that comes from an inner wisdom and realization of our interdependence to each other and our inter-communion on a deeper level forming a Sacred Covenant between the Soul, Divinity and Nature.
It is the spiritual teachings, programs and practices introduced through SE33 that facilitate the fulfillment of this Sacred Covenant and Divine Communion.
OUR FOCUS
Sacred Ecology 33 has taken on an ambitious endeavor, embarking on a bold effort founded on time honored and proven principles and practices established in the Rasik Tradition and compatible insights from other great spiritual traditions.
We believe in and encourage interfaith dialogue with spiritual leaders and practitioners, including other noted leaders who are promoting holism for ecological and social reform. We must recognize that to affect change we cannot be just spectators offering suggestions, but rather be individual participants each contributing to the betterment of all life in a nurturing non-violent way.
Our focus is on that which is sustainable from an eco-spiritual view, becoming fully conscious of the intimate connections and intricate dependencies existing between living organisms and their environment and acting in ways that does not exploit them.
We place a high value on the individual’s ability and birthright to evolve spiritually, offering a diverse array of teachings and programs that are applicable to today's modern life and for following a deeper dedicated path of Loving Devotion to GOD that spiritualizes and purifies both the senses and understanding to:
- Shed that which obstructs us from realizing Self
- Share company with others on a sincere loving path to God
- Offer selfless service and become loving, wise stewards of the land...this living earth
- Fulfill our divine aspirations for Liberation in Loving Devotion to God
- Experience a direct tangible relationship with the Divine and know God’s Loving Embrace
- Celebrate God and all the great Siddhas, Saints and Avadhuts who have Realized and serve Divinity
Sacred Ecology 33, offers an alternative way for living by serving Divinity which sustains all life and is eternally present within us.
Our message has never been more relevant than it is today in this Global Society driven by mass consumption of goods, services and resources. The human footprint on this earth is becoming ever heavier and larger causing undo suffering and distress affecting Mother Earth and all living beings.
The choices and actions taken in the past and those made now will not only affect our current lives, but future generations who will bare the greater consequences unless we have a view of holism and employ spiritual wisdom in our decision making and actions.
A TEMPORAL STATE OF MIND
We often experience our own personal suffering in isolation, without support or compassion from others and many times without hope. Believing we are on our own we are left to rely on our own limited, egocentric solutions. This is not just true of individuals; it can also be true of a community or even a nation.
We have lost sight of the reasons for our suffering and fail to recognize the suffering we create in others and to this earth by our selfish actions, as well as our selfish inactivity. We feel lost at times and alone - forgetting the luminous vastness of our inner world, the world of spirit --- so richly abundant with infinite potential.
In this present global society, the founding principle is an egocentric mindset in which survival is seen as dependent upon the mass consumption of material goods by which we try to supply and satisfy our insatiable and ever-increasing desires. This is true as individuals and as nations. When we are no longer satisfied with what we already have, we return to a state of craving as the cyclic pattern of trying to fill the emptiness felt deep within continues.
These cravings pollute our minds with agitated and extraneous thoughts; they pollute the body and senses with excessive indulgence; and they pollute the earth and the air we breathe with unwarranted increases in manufacturing, processing and packaging, not to mention the pollutions caused by massive distribution of goods...all in the hope of satisfying our personal desires.
To maintain this consuming machine, Earth is but a resource factory, man is but a maker and consumer of goods, and God is but our wish fulfiller and deliverer of worldly desires packaged in the form of things, pleasures and successes. We cannot deny the affect this has on each and every one of us. And when viewed on a planetary scale it appears as the root cause of the rapid and progressive destruction of the environment.
Many ancient traditions are grounded in the belief that life belongs to and is manifest from a single creative and intelligent force or being, on which all existence is dependent for life. We may embrace this truth on an intellectual level, but few have experienced this truth on a deeper spiritual level. We can see the lack of this realization reflected in the current state of the world. We strive after and are attached to material things that have a built-in obsolescence, rather than what is authentic and eternal and what is the very ground of our being.
SE 33’s aspiration is to open the door on a new way of living and offer individuals a chance to view the world with clarity, wisdom and discernment; through hearts opened by loving-kindness and deep compassion. Through understanding the real nature of the Mind in relationship to the Spirit we learn to embrace a truer wisdom by which we may live our lives humbly and selflessly, serving Divinity in Loving Devotion for the greater good of all.
God, I
humbly ask for your blessings to purify my
psycho-physical field and restore me to my natural
condition of Love, Peace, Joy and Wisdom!
