Earth: prison, school, theatre or evolution's laboratory?

It also means ''flying eagle'' and predatory birds have been my favourite animals from a young age. I should get a tattoo!

Though I do like tattoos – they are not always a good idea:

The possibilities are as varied as the individual.
We had robes that translate like silk light robe or veil of light that shine forth the image or essence of Creator.
It has been told that we could directly communicate with the animals and had a
more direct connection with all the earth and it's beings.
It is said that a spirit called doubt has entered and that Man
allowed it and we now have the season we are now in.Wisdom and knowledge and power
are weakened by excepting the spirit of doubt.But at any time you can begin to remember that
you are sacred and all the earth is sacred all the way down to the spark in the molecule
that is in all, and we can walk in a sacred manner and walk in your gifts of talents and Love.
These animals we call people and these swimmers we call people, the creepers and crawlers
we call people, also the plants all are called people.The rocks we call people.For they are our relatives.
We treat Rocks and water and fire and the green as sacred.
So it is that when we once again find our silk light robes to wear again by getting rid of all doubt
and treating all in a sacred manner then our sacred hoop will be restored in unity and Love.
This is predicted to happen after so many generations and the Wankan Tankan will also return.
This is parts of how it was told to me.
So yes it can be like school and it can be like prison but it is much much more it is sacred.

Yes, nice. I like this 'simple', down-to-earth spirituality..!

Hahah.. If I want a tattoo it will also be upper arm and since I exercise a lot it might be better to wait, I imagine the tattoo would 'stretch'..

ImthatIm - just lovely. This is what we have been given. What we receive through grace and blessings.
What we make of it is the human community...our culture; our laws; our norms, ethics, and morality.
It's how we treat one another in relationship on the ground -- whether friend, family, neighbour, stranger, or partner.

Do we continue to replicate the basest of humanity and fall back on lazy "power-over" forms of domination and control,
the few over the many, the men over the women, the strong over the weak, humankind over all the rest...and use, abuse, exploit, control, and destroy all that which is not-I?

Or do we look to the equal measure of divinity within each of us? And consciously take different choices, to lead to different, more sustainable outcomes for humanity and the rest of life on Gaia?
Based on lovingkindness and equanimity (or what I simply refer to as authentic love)?

Peace & blessings

Haha, always a good thing to keep in mind! Thankfully I do my own tattoos, so I can't reach back there.

I think it is all of those things and none of them. It is a ride we have stood in line for and have a map of what we want to experience this time around. Some people get in line over and over and some people only ride once.
