RE: TribeSteemUp Bi-Weekly Question - Do you believe that there is inherent order in nature or is it all chaos and chance?
Love your approach. All week I've been reading and listening to people who have been saying very similiar . It is in the journey we take back towards self that we grow, that we find our flow in life. The connection we have with nature, with the natural world. things - that answers are found in nature that help lead us back to, and understand the self (check out the 5 questions this week with @mtnwomanmedicine) and help us out in times of uncertainty and upheaval and grief. Like you, I go to nature when I need answers, and it's listening to her that helps me to connect to intuitive knowing.
It is in the journey we take back towards self that we grow, that we find our flow in life. The connection we have with nature, with the natural world.
I have been thinking of this constant spiralling we do, always learning and growing and coming back to the self: is this who I am? how do I know myself? Always in flow and flux and spirals and circles, just like nature itself.
And yes, the order man imposes on the natural ... I'm not sure he's meant to. Somehow we have devolved in that way, but then maybe that's what is meant to be too.... be interesting to see where it leads us as a whole, or terrifying!
Great answer.
I reckon where we are now has been our 命 mìng since we crawled out of the trees. I think it was McKenna who said something similar about human evolution being driven by something calling to us from the future. This is the stuff of SF and religion too.
Maybe we’re unconsciously working towards leaving the planet, like children leaving the womb.
Have you read Arthur C Clarke’s Childhood’s End? Deeply hopeful yet also disturbing.

No, but I did read a lot of classic sci fi.. Heinlein, Asimov et all, Le Guin.. Perhaps I missed that one. An intercepting concept but sometimes.. often.. I feel that's wishful thinking, that we can evolve to something better than. Transformation sounds beautiful, but can't we just go back to the trees?
Have you read the Word for World is Forest?
I don't want to leave Earth. I quite like it.

They made Childhoods End into a 3-part series for SyFy channel.... but the book is always better.

I’m sure there were those who wanted to leave the African savannah and those who didn’t... those who wanted to jump in ships and find distant lands they had no idea existed, and those who didn’t.
Whilst we’re not all wired that way as individuals, clearly the trend for our species is we want to expand and explore.
I have no doubt that we will one day populate the galaxy and maybe beyond. We may be very different beings by that stage. Maybe we’ll evolve to be pure consciousness, or maybe we’ll be floating creatures with no limbs living in zero-g.... who knows....
interestingly, if all the things and people that pollute the earth went to Mars, Mara would become inhabitable and Earth would become an Edenesque paradise again. There’s something poetic and ironic about that for me.

Thank you, I held off reading any one else's until I done mine, so tomorrow I will check everyone's, I look forward to yours. It left me with a few questions as well, esp the order humans impose on nature, so natural , but then as you say maybe this has always been the way it was meant to be, we are a mere speck in the grand scheme of things.
