Do humans need to heal ourselves before we can heal our planet?

In a prior blog post, I talk about a channeling session where my spirit guides said that they want me to research and discuss humanity healing the planet. I kept thinking about all the challenges humanity has been through over the centuries. We aren't victims because our souls chose to incarnate on Earth for the learning, growth, and evolution. However, many humans are still healing and working through issues from their past incarnations and even current life. There's the concept of healing yourself before you can heal another. So my question in a channeling session with the wonderful channeler Stephanie Banks was, do humans need to heal ourselves before we can focus on healing our planet? Below was the response from my guides:

"It’s a brilliant question and there are many curious minds that circulate around this and we are going to try to give some examples so you can apply some lived experience to what is cycling here in your musings, in your biggest ponderings. So let us say, when you have a sick child, you do not tell that sick child to get up, get dressed, get out the door, go to school, work as hard as you can, and when you get home, till the soil, plant the garden, harvest the wheat, brush the cows, feed the pigs, and then when you are on your very last bits of energy, clean the house. You see where we are going. It is truly unreasonable and unfair to look at those inflicted with unimaginable and unnecessary hardship. The humans that find themselves in refugee nightmares, war zones, fleeing, fighting, and hiding for their lives, doing their best just to make another day come to be where they can live to see it, these are not the humans that are tasked with bringing direct action healing to the planet. That would be unreasonable and yet they are still doing that and that is a story for another time. These are not the ones for whom you are invoking energy, attention, and guidance for such a thing. So you are asking the questions that you are asking because you are sensing from the deepest place that this is probably, most likely, ok fine, absolutely yours. Part of what is yours to contemplate, to engage in, to give yourself over to.

While it isn’t required that all humans need to be healed from within in order for the planet to balance, recalibrate, to right herself, it is true there is a tipping point. You've heard the concept, there is even a percentage, a numeric associated with the tipping point. And in this way when that point is reached, enough people are in service to loving care and loving kindness of themselves, and building that up to the place where there is overflow. One cares well for themselves under the situations and with the resources that might be allotted more fairly to all rather than one, and is flowing outward in that way of love, in that way of self acknowledgement, in that way of generative self energy. And you have learned that any use of the word “self” is connotated as a negative..selfishness, selfcenteredness..etc. But we are using the "self” both small ‘s’ and big ‘S’ to affirm that each individual is of great value. Each individual belongs. Individuals as human, mineral, water molecule, animal, plant, etc.

It’s not so that everyone must learn how to love themselves. There are some for whom these practices would be nothing more than a luxury to scoff at. However, for a large percentage of humans on the planet they have been well gifted, equipped, and endowed with ample resources to find the pathways to bring themselves into a center for love, so they may receive the confirmation of their own divinity, so they may roll that out, ripple that out, play that out with others in lands they will never see and to those they will never meet. And this is as essential as ever. So as you look into what is my role to play, how much do I share the importance of self love. We say to you self love is always at the very center for there are many who will martyr themselves, go into a place of ultimate annihilation in service to others. They are oftentimes held up high but not until long after their completion of their lifetime. That is far too long to wait. We say recognize those that are around you and among you that are delivering, healing, offering, outsourcing so much of their energetics to become better stewards for the human way, the human condition, the planetary situation. Honor them, thank them, appreciate them and do this all from the deepest love from within yourself, for yourself, and this is what contributes to the healing and wholeness of all."

To summarize, there are souls that incarnated on this planet at this time that have roles to play regarding healing the planet. The soul set the stage so they would have the resources and the capability to help heal the planet. These people could be children right now too, these aren't just adults. So being a good parent and teaching children about love, gratitude, and harmony actually has a ripple effect and one day that child will want to help humanity and the planet as well. We are all part of a web in that our actions, thoughts, and words affect humanity and the planet in ways we can't fully comprehend.

In the channeling, it's also brought up that every individual is of great value and has purpose. They specifically said, "One cares well for themselves under the situations and with the resources that might be allotted more fairly to all rather than one". I believe this comment is referencing the widening wealth gap on our planet where there are billionaires and people that don't have food, shelter, or clean drinking water on our planet. This doesn't make sense and deserves a whole blog post as all humans should have the basic needs for survival including food, water, and shelter. There are enough resources on our planet for this and it would obviously cut down on conflict if people had basic needs met. This will be an important part of humanity's evolution where people will want this as they realize all is interconnected and we aren't competing against each other anymore. Competition hasn't brought humanity to a place of peace, there are many still committing suicide, and anesthetizing emotions via alcohol and drugs. The better solution is to get out of survival mentality and allow everyone the ability to thrive.

There are many ways the planet can be healed, both energetically and physically. My guides mentioned the fact that humans can heal the Earth just by loving oneself. This may sound silly but in fact everything is made from energy. Using ones positive loving energy in service to self and others is called intention which is scientifically proven. This is all confirmed by quantum physics, and scientists are just starting to catch up and understand that we are not just physical masses that randomly came to be. Then there will be the physical healing which will require humanity to use alternate energy sources instead of coal, oil, and gas, protect a percentage of the planet's natural resources and habitat, and the cleaning up of pollution and trash. This sounds like a big job but will take years and the support of AI and quantum computing. I believe that advanced technology can help humanity. For example I was reading an article that said that quantum computing can be used to figure out the best alternate energy sources using simulations. I am hopeful humanity will choose to use AI and Quantum Computing for the betterment of humanity.

My guides also mentioned that there's a numeric value for the tipping point of humans. I've also heard there was a tipping point that humanity needed to hit in order to start to evolve to higher densities and possibly a higher dimension. My understanding is that humanity reached this tipping point and is in a state of awakening and evolving. Healing the Earth is part of a bigger evolutionary path for the human species along with the concepts of harmony, peace, oneness, and spirituality. As humans wakeup to their divinity and remember who they are as souls, this will coincide with a desire to care for all living things including nature, animals, and the planet.

This shouldn't actually take work. It will be something that humans naturally want to do as they care for themselves and raise their own vibration. How does one raise their vibration? By following their passions, finding time to quiet the mind, and loving oneself. It sounds simple but alas is easier said then done. Baby steps, baby steps, one day at a time. Then one day it becomes routine. Thus, this doesn't fall on a small few, but a larger percentage of humanity will start working toward healing the planet in different ways, energetically and physically. This will all happen naturally as people wake up to their purpose.

This will all take many years for most of humanity to wake up, start connecting back with who they are as a soul and their purpose, and have a desire to care for the planet. However, this is also happening at the individual level as well. As each person wakes up and has a desire for harmony, peace, and love on our planet, it creates a domino effect that can't be stopped.
