EarthaSymbiosis is a potent blend of scientific understanding, Judaistic approach to the afterlife, and Australian Aboriginal common sense in relation to sharing resources and looking after country. This religion was founded in Woombye, Queensland, Australia, in December 2024.

In EarthaSymbiosis we follow The Twelve Commandments, which are based on the Ten Commandments handed down by Yihweh (Hebrew: He Exists) to Moses and described in Exodus in the Torah or Old Testament. These are good rules for Life. Commandments 11 & 12 were added by a Hebrew Angel in the early 21st Century.

• ‘Have no other Gods before me.’
• ‘Honour thy mother and thy father’.
• ‘Thou shalt not kill’.
• ‘Thou shalt not steal’.
• ‘Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy’.
• ‘Thou shalt not bear false witness’.
• ‘Thou shalt not worship false idols’.
• ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery’.
• ‘Thou shalt not covet (desire to the point of obsession) your neighbour’s possessions’.
• ‘Do not take the name of the Lord your God in vain’.
• ‘Thou shalt not be cruel to others’.
• ‘Thou shalt not be unfair’.

In EarthaSymbiosis, we look after each other, and we also look after Gaia. What this means is both being a good citizen of the world, and also being proactive in caring for the environment. David Attenborough explained that when he was a child, 70% of the earth’s surface was wilderness. In his eighties, he now observed that only 30% of the earth’s surface remains wilderness, and a large portion of that is in the polar regions. This is both scary and extremely unmaintainable. Something has to change. We can’t keep cutting down the forests just for cows to graze to make hamburgers. EarthaSymbiosis will try to counter this.

Please, reduce, reuse, recycle. Eating a diet of whole foods cuts down on packaging waste. Giving your used clothes, furniture and appliances to charity instead of landfill is a great idea. Also, try to ride a bike or walk everywhere that you possibly can, and reduce the amount of petroleum that you burn. Minimising your energy usage by cutting down the amount of lighting and appliance use is helpful. Making sustainable choices when purchasing and keeping your belongings to a minimum are also helpful for Gaia. Be mindful.
