A few years ago I began telling a story to in-person audiences called “The Courtship of Tara.” I also developed it into a kind of story-board, intending to find a visionary artist to render it into a series of seven psychedelic-style drawings.
trying to find the words to show my gratitude for this story that shifts us from dependent servants to mother earth to the extraordinary idea of "Lover earth" which feels co-creative rather than dependent.
Though I deeply appreciate and promote the vision - humanity in deep fruitful relationship with the earth as in the book Tending the Wild, for me the video was creepy and unpleasant to watch.
Beautifully done. Only one gaping omission. The voice of Mother Earth was done by a younger woman, by that I mean, not an Elder. Earth is ancient. This lack of elder representation is glaringly obvious in many places.
It would be cool to interweave/overlap a young voice with and elder voice. I feel that earth is beyond the binary of young and old, and is both old and new.
Didn't work for me. I am uncomfortable with flashing, fast images. During this video I longed for some stillness and a chance to explore the images and colours.
This is a stunning story... As I loved "A Gathering of the Tribe" I do love this "courtship of Tara" concept, except that it leaves women out a bit, unless women are a part of Gaia or Tara?
I want to also take this opportunity to thank you profoundly for all you write , all you give to this world, to people like me. It has a very deep effect on me, and brings light to my life, or I should say clarity... A light that can be eye opening and blinding at times, and hard to digest some other time... But always bringing me to a new way of looking at things and understanding life better.
From the bottom of my heart, THank you Charles! Frederique
Just beautiful...and powerful, thank you for birthing and carrying the story forwards in this way... thanks to the collaboration of Myztico and Damaris.🙏
Wow, how perfect, Charles. Arigatou. Have you heard about Paul Stamets’ latest research? It seems likely that our evolutionary leap into humans was catalyzed by fungi and entheogenic plants.

We’re dreaming this up, and as soon as we do it collectively with conscious awareness of our power, beauty beyond our wildest individual dreams will manifest…and so it is ✨
I was struck by an awareness that we aren't ready yet for Tara. We will be, but now humanity as a whole is not mature enough. It's coming--the New Earth. The discord we are experiencing now is a dismantling of the old ways as the Divine Feminine reasserts herself.
At first I found it difficult to relate to the introduction of a kind of second Earth-energy, personalized as Tara. I love Mother Earth and don't want to turn away from her in this time of crises.
When I asked my heart though while in meditation it suddenly made complete sense, and I could feel the wild joyful exuberant energy of Tara ... and my desire to be co-worker with her. My conclusion now is, that I don't need to think of Gaia and Tara as two different Earth-personifications... that would be far to simple. How this has to be grasped or explained is beyond my possibilities. But I am very glad for this story. Life is so strong. We can be of help. Thank you Charles.
After more pondering, feeling through the nature of my link with the creation I get friend, brother, sister, neighbor, partner, co-worker, each a servant to the other, advisor, each a master of the other, equals, giver, receiver.

Definitely more of a shadow aspect. It brings out the parts in ourselves that we dislike or want to keep hidden.
To me it is just hilarious out there art and music. Juxtaposed together. Funny to me.

I felt it strongly in this piece.

Tara has younger Voice, Earth has elder...no need for blending...classic story telling has power and clarity.
“In service of truth, freedom, creativity, peace and love.” Indeed.

I can understand that. It helped me to read the text of the story itself end Charles suggestions for the images, of which Charles gave the link.

Really loved this tale and the positive message about humanity "growing up" and becoming responsible and co-creative!
Thank you thank you!
