Why does our earth spin?
Why does our heart beat?
What is this solitary thing which is itself a mystery
to the specifications of the material physical sciences,
which journeys across the gulfs of space from the sun to
the terrestrial environment and makes it habitable, and fruitful,
and sustains, warms, enlightens and engenders life?
Perhaps each of us has a Daystar within our hearts, from which
the sunshine of spirit animates our individual terrestrial body ...

Greetings Peter,
This is a most beautiful and elegant rendering of incandescence energy
on the dimly lit terrain concealing the nature of mind, consciousness
and the nature of reality.

I would refer readers to the vedic concept of the nature of man
which I have attempted to place on the web for researchers:
from the Katha Upanishad:
[3] Know this:
The self is the owner of the chariot,
The chariot is the body,
Soul (buddhi) is the [body's] charioteer,
Mind the reigns [that curb it].
[4] Senses, they say, are the [chariot's] steeds,
Their object the tract before them;
What, then, is the subject of experience?
'Self, sense and mind conjoined,' wise men reply.
It is my observation that, even if it is not now so, as the
technological era moves onwards, there will an increasing
number of people who are not familar with a "chariot" as a
form of model of the inner nature of man.
Clearly is represents NOT a unitarian/heirarchical structured
model, but one which is more endosymbiotic. In this matter, for
a definition of endosymbiosis, I would recommend none other that
that given by her hard won theory of endosymbiosis - put forward
by microbiologist Dr Lynn Margulis. For a web reference try
this.
Where I am leading here is that the vedic model (above) uses a
number of independent yet cooperative parts to describe the
holistic representation of man. We now move to the space age,
and this brought about the postulation of the Gaia Hypothesis by
Dr James Lovelock - Refer reference.
The planet earth is our generic chariot, but it travels not alone.
For the earth/moon system have been a tightly coupled system since
well before life arose in the primaeval seas of 3.5 billion years BC.
Moreover, it has (GENERICALLY) been only as recent as last century
with the Facault Pendulum that man has perceived that the earth SPINS.
It has not been very long since the sun was found to be actually placed
where Pythagoras said that is would be found - the fire - at the center.
One of my favorite readings concerning the nature of nature
is that written by one Dr Charles Eastman in 1911 entitled
The Soul of the Indian - for Eastman spent the first 15
years of his life with his people - the Santee Sioux - as a
native American indian, and speaks of the Great Mystery.
Refer eastman.html
It is in respect of the issues dealt with above that I would
perceive that somehow we must look more closely at the simple
things of life - for this is where the great mystery "moves".
That which is simple is often dismissed outrightly.
In the terrain of consciousness it is the simple things which
form the background tapestry to all other events.
In this way the peoples of many different cultures, education,
opportunity and beliefs are able to contribute - as is seen clearly
in this phenomenum which we term usenet. It is encouraging to see
that there is a natural movement in this direction as is indicated
by the start of a successful integration of the work of Knudtson &
Suzuki (such as "Wisdom if the Elders") into the educational and
research programs of this decade.
I welcome commentary on any of the above.
All the best to OneAndAll.

"As unto the bow the cord is,
So unto man is woman,
Though she bends him she obeys him,
Though she draws him, yet she follows,
Useless each without the other!"
Thus the youthful Hiawatha
Said within himself and pondered ..."
