Creatures, living chain of - we are part of it

10/23/2011

The different kingdoms of nature, along with the creatures that inhabit them, are interconnected. Whether or not we are aware of it, the beings both below and above us are connected to us. There is a living hierarchy in nature, and this link that connects us to all higher beings makes it possible for us to elevate ourselves. But we are also linked to all the beings below us – animals, plants and stones – and this link is extremely powerful. If our thoughts, feelings and actions are honest and pure, we receive beneficial forces from heaven, which pour into us through this continuous, living chain of creatures. But the divine currents do not stop at us; they pass through us and descend to the creatures below us in the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms, creatures that are also connected to us. In this way, each harmonious state we experience has a positive influence not only on the people around us but on the animals, plants and stones, which are also our brothers and sisters.
