EARTH COMMANDMENTS |
1. Thou shalt see thyself as part of the whole and not place thyself above other creatures. |
2. Thou shalt live in balance and harmony with all creation and not seek dominion over nature. |
3. Thou shalt not multiply thy species endlessly without regard to the limits of my bounty. |
4. Thou shalt not empty the seas of fish and the forest of trees, nor turn fertile fields to deserts and take the blue from the skies. |
5. Thou shalt not overgraze thy sheep till pastures disappear and famine visits the land. |
6. Thou shalt not produce what cannot be destroyed and returned to dust upon the earth. |
7. Thou shalt not harvest greed, envy, and hatred but instead husband thy seed stock and plant as well the seeds of peace, love, and tranquility. |
8. Thou shalt be a friend to the world and to all creatures great and small by doing unto all species as you would have them do unto mankind. |
9. Thou shalt walk lightly upon the earth and nurture the balance of existence, seeking not a kingdom in the sky but a heaven on earth. |
10. Thou shalt keep the earth a paradise as it has been for all eternity. |
