Imagine that you are traveling to other planets in outer space in the distant future. Imagine you meet with extraterrestrials and they ask you where you are from. What are you going to say? Are you going to say that you are from New York or Tokyo? Not likely. Most probably, you will say that you are from the Earth. Earth is the only answer because Earth is the common identity that we share with each other. It is much more basic than our nationalities, ethnicities, and religions. Ilchi Lee tells that we are Earth-Humans before we are Americans, Chinese, or Indians. All the values and visions that we have been in search of are impossible without the Earth, for Earth is the root of all little.

In fact, Earth is just a tiny insignificant part of the universe, a tiny planet of a tiny solar system in one of the many millions of galaxies that exist in the universe. Likewise, one individual is not a significant entity when you consider the whole Earth. Human beings are just one of many life forms that call the Earth home. However, when we consciously commune with the soul of the Earth, we transform ourselves into guardians of her incredible beauty, feeling overwhelming love and responsibility tor the Earth. Communing with the Earth is an amazing experience of expanding awareness. When you realize that you are an Earth-Human, you can overcome nationalism, group egotism, religious prejudice, and ethnic superiority. You will realize that everything is One, not in the abstract sense of the word, but because we are all interconnected with the Earth.

The Feeling the Earth Exercise allows you to commune with, and become one with, the soul of the Earth. You will find that the Earth is no longer a material, lifeless object, but a living being, filled with energy and soul… then you will have expanded your awareness and developed strength to heal yourself and others.
