Well, here’s a document I hope someone out there considers it was worth my while to share. But first, here’s the quit pro quo: there is nothing new on the earth now, only new ways to see things. Nature, or God, or whatever you want to call it has put this wonderful system here. And we have eyes to see it in the smallest detail, with magnification to see smaller; and telescopes to draw the further to the nearer. If ‘God’ made human in Its own image; then image crosses a parallel in the term imagination . They who would be as Lords of Forms, must have understanding; they must be the Lord of Hosts in observing the complexity and simplicity of all living structures and the diversities; the reasons for divergence along an evolutional path; and the sheer imagination to make the mundane into something others may be able to respect as extraordinary in the translation through an artist’s ‘mirror system’; the eye sees and the mind remembers, the precision ofthe hand acts as the reversal of the mirror between that which is objective in the tactile world, and that which is subjective in the perceiver’s mind. The two way lens. All life forms exist in a state where none are any different; even across species, many have standardised templates, only the operational requirement s differ. The trouble is; if all life forms can be said to descend from the first, then even plants and the microscopic plankton that eventually became us are all the same; and yet, sometimes it might seem to some that large enclaves have become devoid of empathy. By which I mean that the sphere had to be living and breathing before plants could, and then we could; so that is the first Genesis. The empathy I speak of is that it seems to baffle belief to have realised that if the world took 4.5 billion years to form; and a large extent of that time, before organic life spawned and emerged, plants were upsetting the carbon gas that was the original greater part of the world’s air; and photosynthesis ing to create an environment we can breathe in. So if it took only a few thousand years to dig up a lot of the locked away carbon and release it; at the same time as detracting a large amount of trees for use in making energy, how is the rate of photosynthesis to survive. As it said in the Revelation; that the sea would be poisoned (whether or not this happens the upcoming extinction of large amounts of its life are no good for a rapidly burgeoning human populace). I don’t mean to sound grim; but it is. We all have to live here; and personally, I would never in my life want to taste Soylent Green. Or become it! 1
