I want to share an experience I had when I was in my early 20s, which would have taken place during the 1980s or so. I went looking in an old dump with my sister for antique bottles. We were digging around when I sensed that a spirit was hovering over us watching us. I said "Hello" in my best way I knew how, which was not exactly in words and was mentally or spiritually done.
This spirit explained that it was his job to take care of the land and the area where we were doing our searching. He helped the land by giving it energy and such. He was its protector and he did not mind our looking for bottles, though often he did feel that humans were disturbing the area. (I assume by dumping garbage and non-biodegradable things into it). However, it was an old dump, not often used any longer, and so humans did not often come there. (Who knows, but maybe he was lonely).
He said that he was part of a whole network of such spirits that cared for the earth, the whole earth. They were appointed by the great Spirit and were all doing the best they could, but humans were making it difficult at best. At worst, we were destroying our world. I suggested that maybe some kind of plan could be devised that would keep humans out of the most whid areas of the planet. They agreed that this was a good idea.
I assume they are still working on that. But I have lost touch with him, so I don't know. However, more and more areas have been bought by both governmental agencies and private corporations such as The Nature Conservancy to protect wild areas, especially wetlands, so maybe they have been inspiring humans to do these things, or maybe we have just come to our senses a bit and are doing these things on our own.
The one thing that scares me the most in climate change. I have seen it where I live way out in the mountains even. Temperatures are hotter here than when I moved here even five years ago. I don't know if this is just a natural trend and revert back eventually, or if it is truly greenhouse gases, but it sure is scary! I have also suspected that the vast and widespread act of fracking by huge oil and gas companies could well be contributing to it. The release of methane gases by them into the air while fracking is something that concerns me....
The spirit gave me a gift, just to prove to me that he was real. One second it was not there, and the next it was. It was a purple tinted antique bottle! I cherish that memory and I cherished the bottle. Unfortunately it came up missing during one of my many moves. I have lived in so many places since then, now being in my mid-60s.
