IcerocketThis world revolves around us. We control its fate. It revolves around our relationship. We represent the yin and yang. The positive and the negative. We are the battery. You are positive. I am negative. It is up to us to balance our energies and the world will reflect it.

-thought that the terrible forms & shape of the world was the result of alot of people making very poor use of their imagination. Imagine my surprise to find out it's exactly that !
Thanks !

"This world revolves around us. We control its fate."
such anthropocentrism is emblematic of the world view that got us in this predicament in the first place: that human beings are somehow different from, and thus not bound by the same rules and natural parameters as, the other beings with whom we share this world.
the world does not revolve around us.
we do not control its fate, though we hold a disproportionate amount of it in our collective control-obsessed hands.
great point. reminds me of

great point. reminds me of one of dennis mckenna's often quoted ayahuasca experiences--
One of the most profound and humbling lessons that ayahuasca teaches – one that we thick-headed humans have the hardest time grasping – is the realization that “you monkeys only think you’re running things."

i dont think we control

i dont think we control anything.
i dont think it's reasonable, nor very well founded to assert that the upright walking chimps, to whom the simplest of 'achievements' as speech itself is less than 50,000 yrs old. what controlled the universe of realities for billions upon billions of years PRIOR to the monkey inventing chipped flint, the ball-point pen, bicycles, and television? (TV is "a series of tubes"..dontcha kno?)
one might assert mcKenna's take on things, that nature itself has as part of it's 'plan', or natural organising principle, a few self-aware species to help nudge things along the way, so i'm not disagreeing totally. we DO have a keen ability unlike other species, to create, and in that sense, yes, we are responsible for the things we create, and there is plenty of evidence that mindfulness on that front can make or break our experience on the planet.
perhaps that it all revolves around us is an error of overstatement.
i believe that even if we are the tip of nature's spear, we are not necessarily the center of the mandala... for surely if humanity secures its own demise, nature will find another way to express itself.
mckenna asked the mushroom once, 'what are you doing here?'... and the mushroom replied. 'hey, you're a mushroom, ..ya live cheap! it was a nice neighborhood before the monkeys went berserk!'
