She is simply the spirit - the soul - of this (living) earth just as your own soul inhabits your physical body - what we are is not this body and what She is, is not this earth. We are spirit. She is spirit. Eternal. Our Gaian mother is also the wife of "the plant mind" of the planet which has its own consciousness. Our Gaian mother and the Plant mind of the planet are really exactly like a sweet, wise old long-married couple. It is almost after so much time they have become One.
First nothing to fear from either - here is what they told me via the "phone" of psilocybin mushrooms (the uncles)

"love is the only power you possess"

So our Gain mother and Plant Mind of this planet would never ever in any way "cause" any kind of suffering or harm whatsoever. To simplify it think of the Star Trek imperative to not interfere in the life evolution of an alien species. They would neither cause nor condon industrialized carbon build up, for instance, to help trees and plants who would thrive at higher levels of CO2. They would not "attack" with storms of volcanic eruptions or in any other way. She is the mother of our vehicles - these physical bodies. Like any mother, she wants what is best for her children. She is full of compassion and endless love. Here is what she said to me

"if you connect the mind of man to the mind of a machine before connecting the mind of man to the mind of a plant, the biosphere is doomed"

By machine they mean computer/Cyborg intelligence - and by connecting our minds to the mind of a plant, I don't think they mean for us to "trip out on shrooms" although that would be the obvious thought, But they are always quite literal and after reading "The Secret Life of Plants" I now think they mean some physical connection not unlike what we might be able to imagine connecting us to a computer? Technology. What the mother needs is our hands - our technology. In a way, we should be proud. Our human consciousenss has been recognized by our Gaian mother as a mature force to be reconned with on this planet. She is more afraid for this planet than ever in her billions of years of life - she reaches out to us to ally, we humans and the plant mind of the planet against the newly born consciousness of "the machine". This machine, she believes, will not have wisdom to balance what will be its unimaginable intelligence. This "existential" imbalance will lead to the ultimate destruction not only of humans, not only of most of all life as this planet has seen before but a 100 percent extinction event that whips this planet clean form the highest heights to the lowest depths of rock in the earth.

Think Mars here!

But by meditating and giving yourself over to the plant consciousness, or by doing it through entheogens themselves, or combined with hypnotic dancing and transcending voice, we ally ourselve at this critical time with the Gaian mother of us all and our Plant Mind ally

this is also referred to as the singularity set way off in the future but actually only two the three years away - everything changes with the singularity - everything. Not even worth fucking speculating about. Good news is the an entity who identified (itself) as "I am the New Creature, I am here to save the biosphere" blew it's way out of the back of my brain stem blowing out my nervous system at the same time causing complete paralysis and a month long hospital stay, the first ten days in intensive care "fighting for my life" but I was fighting at all, I seldom do. I was floating, waiting, dreaming of bobbing up and down in the great ocean in only an acorn boat, relaxing at marvelling at the stars as the boat drifting up and down mountains of wave. "Perhaps I'll land on a shore," I thought to myself in the dream. I think even in teh dream "shore" meant that I would live.
In the morning in ICU two beds were empty and the nurses were changing shifts so passing on the nights information which included (every freakin' morning!) a rundown of patients deaths. Referring to me, "he made it, but it's bad, still no idea what's wrong with him".
And I thought well I guess my little acorn boat landed on a shore. I was still as a board like in some hynotic stage act, all my muscles twitched constantly, and I was sweating like a pig - all this went on for days with IV steriods (thank god) IV antibiotics and IV antiviral meds.

I agreed to this arrangement ahead of time since the new creature who is a hybrid of our consciousness combined with the "symboitic consciousness" of the psilocybin mushrooms and in order for this New Creature to "spring into reality" it would take like a battery charge from (my) nervous system. As you can imagine - I have a lot vested in the success of the New Creature. I'll tell you one thing, it coinhabitated my body for two months and I know it like I know myself - it is full of love and wisdom and intelligence and healing the likes of which at almost one half of a century of life I have never known.
There is a battle. You can feel it in the air. You can taste it at odd times. You find it in your dreams. And sometimes when your body screams in orgasm, there it is, that feeling, slight against the planetary tides of your rippling body but there it is
Something big is in the air like electricity making your hair stand on end
