Welcome to being interested in checking in to this site dedicated to our Planet. This site is an effort to bring about more interest in the discovery, recognition and awareness of Planetary System Health. A place to meet and discuss environment, ecology, culture, and especially the showcasing of scientific, artistic, and political communities that focus on the health of our planetary nature.
Concepts to think about:
What is consciousness? Just self and global recognition process for sustainability? Through out all this conversation I have within these pages, it all comes to discovery of being conscious and recognizing more of what is, what we are part of, a role we have in being in flesh (matter) with a mind (consciousness). Just DNA in its self, is truly morphing and working for a more sustainable design to 'be continuous' to extend and spread into more form. Is the universe conscious? It certainly proves to be ingenious in its sustainablility (and not just in us earthly species).
Our multi-sensory systems of tracking and recognition process: Some call pre-cognition and or shamanism?
The indigenous capabilities we, humans, may have lost: http://www.cybertracker.org/downloads/tracking/The-Art-of-Tracking-The-Origin-of-Science-Louis-Liebenberg.pdf
How do some humans maintan the natural idigenous tracking capability with an ecosystemic cognition? How is it that some of us humans can pick up and know things going on remote from us by triggers of nature's magnetic and chemical systems? Indigenous humans had all the necessary skills to survive without technology from enhanced sensory capabilities, we somehow moved-evolved away due to our change in diet (removing the earth elements that possibly keep the self-feeding-communication capabilities with the ecosystem intact e.g., magnetites in the brain and rest of body)? http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-94-007-4372-4_6#page-1 it is known that animals can detect the electromagnet fields. Does this means we, humans, also can detect the magnetic communications between species; and possibly follow them and in our dreams or trance states. This is where we get the intiution and hints of what others are thinking. Do we have some dis-ease with trusting our instincts? Why are we working to evolve with dependence on our technological by-products? Is it really human ingenuity of mimicking the ecosystem with obsolenscence factoring of all these technological extensions to ourselves; working our away from our natural evolution of tapping into enhanced tracking skills that possibly could sustain us within this aging ecosystem?
Why are we working away from the ecosystem, just note that our consumption of unnatural reproductions e.g., reprocessing food, reprocessing water, adding technology to our bodies, and more. We stopped drinking natural water, we purified it due to our polluting it with waste (robbing the water of the earth elements necessary for our sustanance); stopped eating foods from natural earth gardens (we pollute our natural soil - with man made reprocessed soils). We stopped having to work hard, hunt and gather, for our food, the necessary physiological activity for sustaining health and removal of waste; in other words we are evolving into our own by-products of convenience that show signs of throwing our physiological bodies into over production of fats, hormonal anomalies, and potentially toxic reactions). We cognitively are becoming lost in the technological virtual worlds (viewing within our technology media systems) - mentally & behaviorally controlled into a weaker species. Controlled and hungrily over reconstructing and consuming the earth.
More questions I have:
1. Is it true that just in 60 Years, Neoliberal Capitalism Has Nearly Broken Planet Earth http://www.countercurrents.org/queally180115.htm
2. Is the encoding in our ‘matter’; tied to our ecosystem, wherein its Nature has boundaries? Are we all built with a signaling system for systemic survival (in other words there is a very vast communication system going on throughout us and within us? Do we humans, have a wide range of built in autonomic and automatic patterns that are hedonically (pain/pleasure) controlled and reflexively driven to reinforce our ability to survive within this ecosystem, can we really survive outside it? And if so, why is the human brain evolving the capacity to override these life sustaining autonomic mechanisms?
3. Is our very "humanness" is a phenomenon of engagement and attachments. Do we survive in a hidden communications (natural not like the internet) network of relationships with other human beings, other species of this planet, and the nurturing from the overall system (what we live in). If so, wouldn't each knot of individuality be bound to the next, creating the social fabric in which our very person-hood has true existence in this overall ecosystem? Wouldn't isolating an individual then just be is an illusion? If we unravel the social contacts wouldn't the knots disappear?
4. We have barely taken a step on the stairway to the heavens. We are only really suborbital, not really ready for deep space.
The Egyptian historical concept Maat helped me realize our responsibility and position within this ecosystem.

Universal order is the very balancing act within nature, and synergism (syntropism) cross nurturing is key within this site. Enjoy.
