What is the consciousness of the earth? Earth
is a mother, and inside her, there are innumerable moulds, and each of these is
a creature. Earth is a collective programme of creation. When water pours down,
the creatures become visible. Water enters into these moulds and displays them
as colorful creations. Every creation is a form of water, and every form is a
disguise, which is intact due to the mould.
The Most High and Sublime Almighty states,
"And in the Earth are neighbouring tracts,
vineyards and ploughed lands, and date-palms, like and unlike, which are
watered with one water. And we have made some of them to excel others in fruit.
Lo! herein verily are portents for people who have sense." (Quran, 13:4)

Water satiates every creation as their collective
consciousness is one. The earth upon which they are manifested is also one.
However, due to the creative formulae in water, and the distinctive moulds
inside the earth, every creation appears to be unique. This is to state that
the earth has the consciousness of the celestial world as it accepts things
that descend from the skies. That is, the inner consciousness of both heaven
and earth, is one.

earth, each with dif ……………………………………………………………………………………

ferent requirements. The earth nurtures these
seeds with its blood (water), transfers energy into them, tends to them as per
their requirements, provides a foundation for their settlement, and ensures
that as long as the individual who manifests out of the seed is present on
earth, their relationship with the earth is sustained.
Every child that is birthed is a reflection of
their mother. Similarly, the body of every child (individual) that grows and
acquires nourishment from the earth is clay, and hence, the blood of the earth
circulates in the veins of clay. The earth is like a mother —a particle of clay
becomes a mountain in its womb, and springs gush from it and become rivers.
Just as a mother is selfless for her children, Mother Earth is also an image of
selflessness. She subdues herself, adapts to every mould, and maintains this
form for its stipulated time. The earth wants to shrink to be in union with its
source, however, in order to provide a foundation for the existence of
creatures that are inside and outside of her, she goes through separation at
every moment.

Be it the water or earth or everything else
that is created, other than having their individual distinction, they are an image
of the collective having their individual distinction, they are an image of the
collective consciousness too. Collective consciousness means that the creatures
are aware that their Creator, Sovereign, and Provider is God (the Lord of all
realms) and that He has mandated upon every individual to be in service of
other individuals. 'Individuals' refer to clouds, water, space, the sun, moon,
stars, ants, elephants, particles, mountains, viruses, bacteria, mankind,
humans, jinn, angels, and all other creations. Every creature is bound by
visible and invisible strings of light, and this illuminated relationship is
established by God.
Obedience is the foundation of the collective
consciousness. Obedience implies that an individual reminisces God in every
state and spoken word they comply with every ordinance of God and stay away
from what He has forbidden. When one's mind is focused on The Being and
Attributes of God — the Creator of the universe — their life is spent in the
collective consciousness. Waves of frequency run inside them; those frequencies
upon which God has established a connection with His creatures. Contrary to
this, when the attention of an individual shifts from God, they enter into
individual consciousness, which is absolute disobedience. Before sending
Prophet Adam (PBUH) to paradise, God Almighty imparted him with teachings on
obedience and commanded him to stay
away from disobedience. God stated to him that while he could eat happily from
wherever he wished, he must not approach one tree, failing which would be an
unjust act against himself.

Paradise is a station where the collective
consciousness dominates, and hence distances are subdued. Travel happens
through time, and individuals reach wherever they want to instantaneously, and
likewise, whatever they desire shows up before them. In paradise, the mind is
under a single consciousness, and hence there is no gap between thought and
manifestation. On the other hand, in the very same environment is a tree, which
when approached, all comforts of paradise are disabled. When the individual
consciousness is chosen over the collective consciousness, then doubt,
incertitude, and rebellion dominate the individual.
Father Adam (PBUH) committed a mistake. He
approached the tree and was guilty of being disobedient to the collective
consciousness. As a consequence, the garment that adorned the qualities of
paradise was stripped off, and those abilities that had the characteristics of
suppressing space hid behind a veil. Because of the disobedience, Prophet Adam
(PBUH) was afflicted by doubt. The atmosphere of paradise rejects doubt, and
hence he arrived on Earth. Both these patterns of obedience and disobedience,
are transferred from Prophet Adam (PBUH) to his children.
Earth is a station where the collective consciousness
is behind a veil and the individual consciousness is dominant. The water and
light that the earth receives are one. When they enter the earth, the earth
hides them and manifests the individual characteristics inside them to such an
extent that the earth itself is hidden. When one observes the mountains, fields
and meadows, buildings, rivers, and oceans, they do not see the earth, however,
the earth transfers the knowledge that it exists to every individual who
manifests over it, else, the system or connection that is between individuals
and the earth would be questionable.
Individual consciousness undergoes constant
change which creates doubt. On the other hand, the collective consciousness is
unified and hence, its essence does not change. The pattern of certitude is
established through the collective consciousness.
دو رنگی خوب نئیں یک رنگ ہوجا
سراپا موم ہو یا سنگ ہوجا
Translation:
Two hues don’t combine in grace,
In unity, find your rightful place.
As candle’s wax or stone, be true,
In singular form, let your excellence imbue
God be with you.
