Man has been here 32,000 years. That it took a hundred million years to prepare the world for him is proof that that is what it was done for. I suppose it is. I dunno. If the Eiffel tower were now representing the world's age, the skin of paint on the pinnacle-knob at its summit would represent man's share of that age; & anybody would perceive that that skin was what the tower was built for. I reckon they would. I dunno.

Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.

We are gods to the tiny creatures all around and even on and in us- we are impossibly large and seemingly undying. We could crush or cultivate any number of them. Be a merciful god, tend to nature.

Lakota
Lakota spirituality is based on the circle. The Lakota saw the journey of life and death as a circular process. They also interacted with one another in a circular fashion, rather than in a struggle for domination.
The Lakota even used the circle’s symbolism in their architecture. Their houses (which are known as tipis) had circular foundations."Everything the Power does, it does in a circle." Lakota Proverb
"Creation is continuous." Lakota Proverb
"I am standing at the Earth’s center." Lakota Proverb
"A man’s life is a circle from childhood to childhood, and thus it is in everything where the power moves." Black Elk
"The power of the world always works in circles." Black Elk
"The center of the universe is everywhere." Black Elk
The Lakota Indians
This is very similar to the teachings in the Tao

Polarity
If I were to have both a
good attitude at times
and also a bad one at
other times
am I not still ME at ALL
times?
Or am I one person,
another person,
or just ONE complex being?
This is just like the cat
in the box (in physics) being both alive and dead until observed. Positive and
negative are perspective, so reality is more complex and subtle than
just black and white.

FLOW
From the Tao Te Ching
Return is the movement of
the way;
yielding is the function
of the Way.
All things in the world
are born of being;
being is born of non-being

“The day when we shall know
exactly what “electricity” is, will chronicle an event probably greater,
more important than any other recorded in the history of the human
race. The time will come when the comfort, the very existence, perhaps,
of man will depend upon that wonderful agent.”
Nikola Tesla
