Gaia, according to the ancient Greeks was one of the original "gods," actually Titans, from whom the world was created. Without going into the incestuous details, this is rather an old, pantheistic belief, just dressed in a rewoven tunic.
Frankly, we Christians need to aggressively share Christ, and Him crucified, and let the Holy Spirit quicken hearts to respond. Then, as we draw closer to God, we'll have a proper view of our stewardship of the earth. We should care for it, NOT WORSHIP it.

Say no more. Cathedral of St. John the Divine + The Temple of Bishop Sponge - remember that wacko? Supportive of gay marriages, queer priests, and a "winter soltstice festival" instead of nativity services at his "Cathedral".

Happy Easter.
The General Board of Church and Society co-signed this letter urging the US Senate not to drill in the Artic Refuge and instead promote clean energy sources ....
We urge you to oppose any energy legislation that opens the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other sensitive public lands to oil and gas drilling or otherwise threatens the environment, or increases taxpayer subsidies to polluters. Instead we urge you to work for a smarter, cleaner energy future that includes increased miles per gallon standards for vehicles, and a significant shift to clean energy ...
. There is no reason to damage our environment or threaten public health in the name of energy security. The fastest, cheapest way to reduce our vulnerability to potential oil price shocks is to reduce our consumption of oil through higher fuel economy standards.

Somewhere on the Web there is a quiz that juxtaposes passages from the Unabomber manifesto and from Al Gore's book, I think it was called "Earth in the Balance".
The resemblances are uncanny.
We have confirmation. Gaia has alzheimers!
Let's learn a little about Djwhal Khul, or Master D.K. (not a rapper) for short:
The Masters of Wisdom are the great beings, although like us, have traveled a little farther to a greater measure of light. Among Them are Those who have chosen service in our planetary Hierarchy, or Spiritual Government. They guide our planet through Its own miraculous evolution with Their love, wisdom, and compassion.
Among these great Ones, is the Master Djwhal Khul, also known as the Tibetan, or to His students simply as the Master D.K.. He is one of the better known Masters, having worked through numerous channels, notably Madam H. P. Blavatsky and Alice Bailey. Through Madam Blavatsky (late 1800's) His powerful work "The Secret Doctrine," revolutionized spiritual thought of the day introducing to the world at large ageless wisdom teachings. While still living and teaching in Tibet, he continued his channeled materials to the West through Alice Bailey during the first half of the 20th century, creating an impressive body of spiritual resource material which is still available to seekers today.
Shortly before Alice's death in 1949, the Master D.K. ascended. Having completed the tremendous work through Alice, He was ready to move on to others levels of spiritual service. Before her death, Alice had questioned Him as to His own future work. At that time, He indicated to her that He was moving on to other spiritual efforts and did not see His own return to work with humanity through channeling. However, in 1982, He again made contact with the human realm as a Master Teacher, this time through a voice channel, Janet McClure. When she, quite astonished by the contact, asked him about his statement through Alice, He gave His little chuckle and replied, "Oh, it's not so different here than on the Earth plane; my Boss changed my assignment." He began to instruct Janet on His plans for aiding Earth as it moved into the "New Age" He had prophesied through Alice. He chose the modern format of the workshop and spiritual intensive to aid groups of people, and the avenue of the spiritual interview to facilitate growth for His students on an individual basis. Through Janet, who also published several books before her death, He made contact with Kathlyn Kingdon, in 1984, who became His dedicated channel and has worked with Him since that time.
He led several notable lives recorded in our history books. Confucius was an aspect of Him, as well as Lao Tsu, the father of Taoism. In the Biblical story, He was Casper, one of the three Wise men searching for the baby Jesus. In 1875 he took the fifth Initiation, and could have ascended, yet He continued to stay in physical existence through the first half of the 20th century.
He is a Second Ray Master, Who along with the great Master Kuthumi, and the Lord Maitreya, work in the second Department of the Spiritual Hierarchy. With Maitreya as the head of the Spiritual Hierarchy and the World Teacher, and Kuthumi working toward his later descent as an avatar in the next age after this, D.K. has assumed a greater role in this department. He works with two young masters who together carry out the tasks required of this second department.
In the early 1990s the Master D.K. merged with His teacher, Vywamus. Vywamus is a great teacher who is a higher aspect of Sanat Kumara. Through this merger, many have mentioned the teachings from D.K. are experienced as more profound.
Those of us who have personally experienced sessions with the Master D.K. have been gently loved into expansion and personal growth, and have come away filled with profound gratitude for His unwavering dedication to humanity. His depth of wisdom challenges the mind and reaches the soul. We laugh, we cry, we transform our lives. His love is felt, and we are reminded that He is one of Those also known as the Masters of Compassion. His principles are grounding, which is needed so much in the present day. To have an opportunity to experience such a Great Being is felt as such a privilege, yet is available to all who desire.
