Sten Linnander’s The Earth Speaks is a poetic and often mesmerizing dive into a personal and unconventional spiritual journey. Structured as a dialogue between Linnander and the Earth itself, the book unfolds in three parts: a transcription of direct “messages” from the planet, a guide for engaging with the Earth on a co-creative spiritual level, and an introduction to a visionary technological project called “Living Globes.” The book is a call to remember our intimate, emotional, and energetic connection to the Earth, and to reclaim a relationship that is as ancient as humanity itself.

The Earth’s voice is tender yet unflinching, mystical but not abstract. There’s an emotional richness in passages like Chapter 1, where the Earth proclaims, “I have been nurturing you as my children… but now I wish to speak to you as to a partner.” I found that line beautiful and oddly humbling. It made me pause. The entire first section feels like a spiritual love letter, but it’s also an invitation to grow up—to stop acting like guests on this planet and start behaving like equals in a shared relationship. The Earth’s discussion of shame, especially around sexuality (Chapter 15), felt vulnerable, even startling at times. The idea that volcanoes and storms are expressions of the planet’s sexual energy challenged my assumptions and made me reconsider how much of life we dismiss as mere mechanics when, maybe, it’s all deeply alive.

The book resists structure and often loops back on ideas. The metaphors come in waves—pirouettes of energy, wombs of consciousness, dancing fields of intimacy and trust. And yet, just when I thought it might be too abstract, Linnander grounds it in something tactile, like the idea of humans being the Earth’s eyes so she can see herself (Chapter 3), or his proposal of a real communication device that could let us interact with the Earth’s electromagnetic field (Chapter 27). That blending of the mystical and the technical kept me engaged, even when I wasn’t sure what to make of it all.

The Earth Speaks is less a book and more a transmission. I would recommend it to those open to an experiential, spiritual journey—especially readers attuned to shamanic work, Earth-based spirituality, or emotional healing. It’s strange and bold and undeniably heartfelt. It reminded me to slow down, to feel more, and, perhaps most importantly, to listen.
