I may be wrong and please correct me if so, but the above statement implies that the real purpose of our existence here is only determinated thru the earth itself. Do you really think that your true YOU decided on that higher mental plain, where our consciousness exist (btw, our consciousness exist on EACH imaginable plain), to be here and now just to deliver itself to the determination of other (in this case earth's consciousness as well as the human groupmind) ???
It is true that my I AM is connected with ALL that is, so also connected with the earth itself and it's wonderful nature...but I/WE choosed to be here and now for a purpose...for a much bigger purpose then just to assist this lovely planet to evolve to whatever it/he/she deserves.
We all have our hidden tallents which we will discover soon.
By the way, the one who hope that you might be wrong just makes them judgmental...I would rather wellcome your opinion and think about it---
with respect
