RE: Key principle for successful teamwork: Mutualisms
Man seems to never be satisfied with what nature provides and that is the crux of the problem in my eyes.
Worse than not being satisfied, I don't think most people even recognize it. Even what we call "man-made" came from original elements that were made in nature. Everything, in one way or another, is natural. The difference between man-made is that man usually uses non natural methods to fuse things together, which is why we have the large pollution problems we have today. Nature doesn't know what to do with the results!
I feel pretty confident that nature will figure out what to do with us humans sooner or later. We are a rather young species, so I think they are giving us room like a toddler to play around, and soon the "rules" our natural parents have been warning us about will become enforced and we will either adapt or be grounded for life!
Yes, I think you give a good analogy with the "toddler" and the "rules" . I would like to know what nature did with the civilization that built the pyramids? That civilization was far more advanced then what our "historians" want to give them credit for. Those structures could be pointed too as proof that even the most intelligent and advanced civilization can be wiped out by something. Those people must have really crossed the line at some point on the rules.
I can tell you that, but it would mean giving you an entirely different version of the various civilizations of our universe! At Damanhur, we have a whole course series called Ancient Civilizations of Humankind that gives you insight into a whole part of our human history that is not taught to children. The only time we hear about it is under the titles of "mythology", "legend", and "folklore". But if you listen closely, you will find that myth does not always mean not true...
Plus, if you want to understand how they did it, you should come see our underground Temples of Humankind. You would be amazed at the solutions you find when a whole group of people get together with a united mission!!
I trust that there have been smarter and more advanced civilizations here before us, there is to much evidence that shows that, our "records" don't want to admit that though. We for some reason need to be the best and most advanced in the minds of those who write the records.
Some day if I ever decide to travel abroad and have the means to do it I will certainly consider Italy and what you folks have done there with the underground temple.
Anytime you want to come, it will be a pleasure to host you!
