It is hard for you apparantly  to not want to see contradictions when there
is none!
When i met Masanobu Fukuoka in India he showed us a piece of grass marking
with his finger the middle as being the present , the left side as being the
past,  and the right side the future .We can see too the left side as being
the cause and the right the effect or other split perception of reality...
He told us that is the linear way we have been trained to see the world. He
bended together the 2 ends of that piece of grass and said , Peoples are
better off if they see nature as cycles... Then he showed it in such a way
that only  one end was visible and said < I see Nature as a point ,
everything is there.>

I understand it somehow , that there is no way for humans to do anything out
of the flow of Nature  .  But they have this great ability to remove
themselves from the experience of It
( that  experience is love when all contradictions are lift )
Don weather theory is putting in evidence  the natural cycles cycle of
structuration and unstructuration of soil (with glaciers and seismic
activity as the main actors ). It is a cycle of life and death.

This cycle can be reduced to a point where , at every moment,  soils are
building and " destructuring themselvses.
We choose to favorise the rate of destructuration over the natural ability
of soils to grow .
It is not going to lead us far .

life,  to complete its cycle,  might have to reduce human activity ( thru
famines and malnutrition, diseases etc...) ., for a while .



I love this sentence extracted from the introduction to"  the course in
Miracles"
Fear is the opposite of love but what is all encompassing don't have any
opposite .
