Nature is our sanctuary and comfort when life begins to suck. It\u2019s counter-intuitive, but we don\u2019t have to fear earthquakes or tsunamis, because the wholly universal spirit \u2014 of which we are a part \u2014 encompasses all that is \u201cgood\u201d and \u201cbad\u201d on earth all the time.

The iSoul is like not just a river, but more like the whole watershed \u2014 the trickling springs, the babbling brooks, the rocky creeks, and the lazy rivers that flow into the distant ocean. But most governments don\u2019t understand how \u201cclimate change\u201d 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 \u2014 war being one such option \u2014 that make natural disasters more or less bearable.

If we weren\u2019t fighting one another over wealth or power or beliefs, we all could work together to make every single person\u2019s world a better place in which to live. The poor or powerless or other kind of believer wouldn\u2019t be forced to live in the \u201cworst\u201d 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
