The Earth is on a much higher spiritual level than man. She is our mother and therefore our creator. We are all the Earth in our body, cells in the body of the Earth. We can become knowing cells, and thus serve the Earth in a special way. If you pray to the Earth as the Holy Mother, you are praying in a spiritual way and the spiritual part of the Earth can help you and answer you. When a person becomes more developed he makes other contacts with the Earth. At this stage the Earth can talk to him, manifest in an individual form for him.
You have to become personally involved with the Earth, pray to the Earth to bring about this relationship.
