Yes, mother earth 'it' is in reality, a spiritual being, only that her appearance is not of our physical likeness. :-) She has been so kind to allow us to live on her back so we can gain our spiritual growth. But it is now time she too have to make her own spiritual progress, by cosmic law she can no longer withholding her own progress to do this. Hence it is now very important for us all to raise our vibrations together in order for us to continue to live on her back.
