Topics Focused on Questions on Planetary Environment, Culture, Science & Art
Welcome. 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 I hope can encourage others to meet and discuss environment, ecology, culture, and especially the showcase scientific, artistic, and political communities that focus on the health of our planetary nature.
Concepts to think about:
What is ecosystem consciousness?
What has happened to our sensory capability of tracking and recognition process: The natural pre-cognition and or shamanism known as an indigenous trait?
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 as a survival mechanism. Why are we working to evolve with dependence on our technological by-products verses evolving our natural instincts?
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. Why did we stop drinking natural water (we purified it due to our polluting it with waste - robbing the water of the earth elements necessary for our sustanance); we stopped eating foods from natural earth gardens, we pollute our natural soil, we spray poisons vs using other livingsystems to work with us in farming. 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. Aren't we cognitively are becoming lost in the technological virtual worlds (viewing within our technology media systems) - mentally & behaviorally controlled into a weaker species?
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.
Today Space biosciences is looking at these aspects of synthetic biology for enabling humans to become spacefaring. See Craig Venter's talk to NASA on this subject. Synthetic Biology - Human Genome
The Tree
It merely started with a serpent’s tale,
beguiling us to spy him spiraled in the tree.
A tree that hath no permanent mass nor scale
Yet, bearing fruits blessed by an endless sea
A tree that we call life
With its ebbing and flowing mass
That tides and pulls as if in strife
to evolve again, and then pass
A mere snakes subtle endless tale,
wherein he continually bites down upon his tail.
An infinite loop containing stars and cosmic dust
transient and never just…
Spun out of the calm
Is this endless psalm:
“Awareness is the succulent juice of its fruits
savor it to the seeds and core
recognition is when you prune it
knowing every branch will continually bear more”.
