The Sacred Connection With Earth and Why Environmental Destruction Is a Spiritual Crisis

How Chemical Comfort Is Poisoning Our Connection to Mother Earth — And Our Own Bodies

There’s a moment when you realize that the boundary between “out there” and “in here” is an illusion. That moment came for me when I learned about the umbilical cord study where researchers found computer circuit board chemicals flowing through the sacred connection between mother and child.

Let that sink in: circuit boards in umbilical cords. The modern world’s synthetic arteries have invaded our most primal connection.

The Body Temple Is No Longer Sacred

We’ve created a world of chemical comfort, a synthetic paradise that’s slowly becoming our prison. Every breath we take, every sip of water, every morsel of food carries microscopic invaders into our temple:

• Microplastics floating in our bloodstream like tiny dharma wheels gone wrong
• Synthetic fragrances hijacking our sensory connection to the natural world
• Chemical cocktails crossing the blood-brain barrier of unborn children
• Plastic particles showing up in human waste, completing a toxic cycle

As one researcher grimly notes, “Over the last six or seven years we are actually adding brain toxic chemicals at a greater speed than we are adding toxicity evidence in children’s brains.”
