but abusers of the environment are held accountable by the Creator

by Phil Shapley (White Wolf)

This seems a wild statement that after destruction, all can be well! But there is truth in it! To understand why, we must integrate spiritual truths. And when a person misuses the environment, he will be subject to the judgments of the Creator when he returns to the Spirit world.

Some basic spiritual truth

1) Everything is spiritual-- Atoms, rocks, plants, animals, etc., contain a spirit that has awareness. These spirits, awarenesses, vary in intelligence but all have the ability of deciding to obey or not obey the Creator.

2) The Creation came into existence when many spirits, awareness's or intelligences decided to obey the Creator to form atoms, rocks, plants, etc.

3) These awarenesses, spirits, existed before they were organized by the Creator to form physical objects. After death, the spirit that governed plants and animals, or rocks that to are destroyed, continues to exist.

4) After their physical death on Earth, the Creator will give each plant and animal spirit a body in a wonderful environment, perhaps on the renewed Earth. And also rocks.

5) To repeat, when plants and animals are destroyed by pollution or destruction of the environment, it is not their end-- their spirit continues to exist and they will again have a physical body in a wonderful environment.

Thus, the physical death of plants and animals is not their end.

Why Nature needs to experiance negativity 

But why should plants and animals be subject to pollution, environmental destruction, the negative energy generated by Mans greed, immorality, ignoring the Commandments, failing to be generous, etc.? They are experiencing that when matters are not done or run in the Creators way, things get messed up. When the spirits, intelligences, see the folly of Man's ways, they appreciate and revere the Creator and His ways, all the more. The plant and animal spirits need Earth's negative experiences to more fully appreciate the Creator and His ways, and to realize a higher level of happiness-- they have experienced the difference between the Creator's ways and other ways.

What about the Native and Christian prophecies that claim that civilization will soon crumble and that there could be great environmental destruction. Every biological spirit destroyed, will again be placed in a physical body either in the 1000 years of peace on the renewed Earth or elsewhere. Also according to these prophecies, the Creator will remove evil from the Earth. When the plants and animals get their second body, they will be living in an wonderful environment. 

In conclusion, in the long run, plants and animals will be better off than they are now. They are going through the experiences that the Creator knows are necessary for them to realize the greatest possible happiness. Would we be wise to interfere with the wise plans of the Creator? After needed negative experiences, all will be well.

Man is not to abuse Nature despite Natures need

for negative experiences

Do not conclude that the need of Nature for negative experiences, justifies your abusing the environment. Natural spirits will experience enough negativity without you contributing. They need some good behavior, respect, from humans to buoy them up in this very negative Earth environment. Your positive actions and attitudes will help in three ways;

1) Nature needs your respect and help to keep living, to reproduce and to overcome the depression caused by Mans many negative acts.

2) Your good acts and respect convinces plants and animals of the wisdom of the Creator's ways.

3) The environment will be more beautiful and uplifting for all, and plants will be more nutritious and herbs more potent.

The Creator will harshly judge people when they enter the after death spirit world who have ignored the welfare of Nature, especially those who have knowingly done so. Man was given dominion by the Creator, but he is to use it in a wise and responsible way.
