The Terraker


The sixth type in the SP system is the Terraker the Earth lover and that is pronounced tehr-uh-ker, with the emphasis on the first syllable. As I read about this type I was so excited to delve right in and meet up with my own inner Terraker. I had a clear idea of what this type was all about; after all I’ve become quite the organic girl in the last two years. I celebrate my deep connection with nature I love Gaia, I love my roots and I love my wings! Whew this one is going to be a piece of cake, so I thought…
I drove out to the lake to sit quietly in my favorite winter spot and listen for the silent voice of the Terraker. What better place than in nature to meet up with the Earth lover and while visions of Avatar tickled my imagination. I saw the Terraker within spilling its message and filling up my blank page with very little effort on my part. Well things didn’t go as I planned and I was unable to clear my mind. I was so stuck in my head all I could hear was my own superficial thoughts. “I want coffee, I’m hungry, I’m tired, and I have a headache. Why is my Wii age 47? Hmmm what is this Terraker really all about?” The thoughts just kept coming, as if they had a life and an agenda of their own, and I could not feel my way through the noise to the core of the Terraker.
I gave up and silently surrendered into the moment and “Trust” was all I could intuit at that time. Well I guess the Terraker isn’t at the lake today, I thought feeling a little disappointed and headed for home. As I was driving I felt an elusive cloud covering my heart and I was aware that I was plotting, and scheming my way to find the Terraker within. I could feel myself beginning to get frustrated that I couldn’t clearly see in order to understand and feel the truth in the Terraker type. However even though I was frustrated I didn’t swear at the Creator this time. No, I just deeply trusted and silently prayed. I was comforted by the wisdom that I’ve acquired over the years in terms of divine timing and my timing being two different things and I held onto this little thread of truth for the rest of the day.
By allowing things to go and not holding on tightly to the way I think things are suppose to be I experienced a deep sense of freedom, and peace that opened up the channel for the wisdom of the Terraker to begin to flow through me. As the cloudiness in my heart lifted and my heartfelt understanding and clarity returned, I intuitively heard the Terraker within explain that thoughts have created the earth and it is also our thoughts that keeps us separated from earth, Source/God, our Selves and each other. We are truly free Spiritual Beings not just merely having but actually co-creating our human experiences.
In my spiritual imagination I saw myself in my human form and the Terraker in the formless swirling energy of pure light and Truth collide. I found myself witnessing the reconciliation of two seemingly oppositional forces. Once I felt my Truth and remembered that yes this is what life here on earth is really all about, I realized that these oppositional forces are our spiritual gravity. The whole Yin and Yang, Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine, Intellect and Intuition, this is actually the stuff we are our creating our life with. In that moment I realized how important it is to focus on creating a deep sense of balance in my life. I thought of the ways I was attempting not so much to balance the organizational things that make up my day but really the subtle forces playing out deep within and through all levels of my being. This is probably why my life has taken the direction of being an artist…Finding True peace comes from fully accepting and loving ourselves as both the Spiritual Being and the Human Being. The Terraker within teaches us to love ourselves rather than seeking love outside of ourselves. In the ultimate sense this is how the Terrakers nurture the planet through effortlessly allowing Love to flow, by being in a perfect state of giving and receiving Love with no strings attached. Love is simply breathed in and out in a beautiful exchange of energy. The Terraker within reminds us that we are both human and divine. They lovingly wink at us as we scratch our heads trying to figure out how we can have clear goals in mind that will serve humanity and yet at the same time not be attached to the outcome of our goals. The Terraker within has mastered the paradox by fully embracing both sides of the experience and consciously making decisions that are for the higher good…They encourage us to look to nature for inspiration and quite possibly the answers to our deepest and most pressing questions.
