"One of the key tenets of Aetherius Society teachings is the belief that the Mother Earth is a living Goddess. This belief has been held by numerous cultures throughout history, and, in certain traditions, such as shamanism, is still regarded as central in terms of both philosophy and practice. In recent years the concept of the Earth as a living entity has even gained a controversial foothold in the scientific community, in the form of the “Gaia hypothesis” which was formulated by Prof. James Lovelock in the 1970s."
"The Gods from space teach
that the Earth is a conscious, living, breathing entity – with feelings and
thoughts just like any other conscious living entity. She is extremely
advanced, and more than qualifies for the title of “Goddess” due to her
extraordinary wisdom, compassion and spiritual power."
GAIA
Mother Earth, Mother Nature
" The first Greek god was actually a goddess. She is Gaia, or Mother Earth, who created herself out of primordial chaos. From her fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must return after their allotted span of life is over.
Gaia, as Mother Nature, personifies the entire ecosystem of Planet Earth. Mother Nature is always working to achieve and maintain harmony, wholeness and balance within the environment. Mother Nature heals, nurtures and supports all life on this planet, and ultimately all life and health depend on Her. In time, Nature heals all ills."

"Many
African peoples regard the earth as a female deity, a mother-goddess who rules
all people and is the mother of all creatures. The earth lives and gives birth
to ever new generations of beings. She will make the grass grow when heaven
gives her rain and if there is no rain, she withdraws into her own depths,
waiting for better times to come. Many regions of Africa have to endure a dry
season when nothing grows and death reigns. As soon as the new rains, life begins
miraculously. Grass sprouts, flowers open and the frogs croak, creeping out of
the earth who hid them. Thus the earth conceals life, protects it against
desiccation and revives it as soon as better times arrive. Without the gifts of
the earth no one lives. Many African peoples believe that the ancestors live in
the earth, in houses very similar to the ones they had here, on the surface of
the earth. They also own cattle and goats there. Indeed there is a Zulu myth in
which people go in search of the milk-lake under the earth, from where the milk
is absorbed by the grassroots so that the cows and goats have milk from the
earth. Where else could the milk come from? Our own flesh is earth; even the
name Adam means 'earth'. All creatures are earth. Fire too, lives in the earth,
which sometimes spits it out when in anger. Fire comes out of wood, so it, too,
must come from the earth. Wind too, it is believed, comes out of caves in the
earth. Thus all four elements come out of the earth. Yet, the earth is seldom
worshipped; the libations which are poured down during numerous ceremonies are
more addressed to the ancestors than to the earth as a whole. Nevertheless, the
earth has a very powerful spirit which rules over our life and death.
Sometimes, when she is perturbed, she moves, forests and mountains and all.
Unlike man, the animals understand their mother and obey her, although
sometimes she will have to punish a disobedient creature."

This Mother Earth,
Who gives us life;
This Mother Earth,
Heart filled with strife,
We love her not,
Though love we should;
Her death we plot,
For life's "own good;"
She gave us air, and food, and home.
That's not enough we humans scream;
With greedy lust, our mouths do foam,
With evil hopes, our eyes do gleam;
Her air we fill
With smoke and death;
Ourselves we kill,
For lack of breath;
The sea once clean,
Now choked with waste;
To drink, we fear,
Will death make haste;
The soil once pure
And full of life,
Now barren sand
Of farmers' strife;
No longer she
Can stand our "love;"
Now we must flee
Like scattered dove;
She gave us all,
Unto the end;
Now we appalled,
Our lives defend."

Our world is always
changing,
Constantly rearranging.
From ocean depths to mountain peaks,
Mother Nature moves and speaks.
While telling stories of our past
She tries to teach us how to last.
Mankind, so smart, sometimes blind
Leaves common sense far behind.
We're moving fast and living large,
Forgetting Mother Nature's in charge.
Amazed when she rings our bell,
Sending us through living hell.
She can twist our steel, shake any city,
If her wrath you feel, we shall pity.
Yet some who speak on her behalf,
I fear just seek the golden calf.
It's true, we must treat her right.
Or we will incur a deadly plight.
Treat her with distinction
Or surely face extinction!

The stars shone in the
night sky
The moon was sitting bright and high
The sun shone in the morning sky
The birds were flying really high
The rubbish sways in the cool breeze
So take your litter home please
We keep the forest neat and clean
so there is no pollution to be seen
The tall grass is spiky and green
when the wind blows it is clearly seen
Upon the mountain the trees sway
the leaves blow away"
