Since entering the third millennium we witness the rapid deterioration of the ecosystems of the Earth as well as growing problems within the modern civilization. I am convinced that it is not possible to repair the three dimensional planet Earth since it is basically a creation of the human mind. The purpose of the project “Creating Gaia Culture” is to develop a direct communication with the consciousness of the Earth – its Greek name is Gaia – and starting from small groups of dedicated people to develop a new civilization in cooperation with Gaia and her co-creators of the multidimensional Earthly universe. The project was published in the book “Creating Gaia Culture” (Clairview, 2021).
