Nature is our sanctuary and comfort when life begins to suck. It’s counter-intuitive, but we don’t have to fear earthquakes or tsunamis, because the wholly universal spirit — of which we are a part — encompasses all that is “good” and “bad” on earth all the time.
The iSoul is like not just a river, but more like the whole watershed — the trickling springs, the babbling brooks, the rocky creeks, and the lazy rivers that flow into the distant ocean. But most governments don’t understand how “climate change” figures into that.
Yeah, shit happens, as far as nature is concerned. The earth shakes, the lowlands flood, flames scorch the earth where sparks find tinder and wind. But we make so many choices — war being one such option — that make natural disasters more or less bearable.
If we weren’t fighting one another over wealth or power or beliefs, we all could work together to make every single person’s world a better place in which to live. The poor or powerless or other kind of believer wouldn’t be forced to live in the “worst” places on earth.
And we could then turn our attention to real problems, like how we can become faithful keepers of this world that some true believers say has been entrusted to us by their god (though they do much to deny that claim). What we value the least we will definitely lose.
