Greetings Mystic,

that you are saying cause you cant sense the lifeforce of the earth dude...
Maybe, or maybe you’ve watched Final Fantasy a few too many times, dude. I can make assumption too.
If the earth speaks to you ask it how many times the apex species has been wiped out, ask it how many times have forests perished, flora and fauna disappeared never to be seen again…and then sense the tranquility in its response. Realize that it’s all part of the cycles of Creation-Destruction.

i completely disagree with you when you say the earth does not give a flying f*&$#.... I know the human race is too much gone the wrong side of things and more of a virus to the earth in whole rather than a mutually beneficial relationship.
How do you know? Do you know what is beneficial for the planet? Perhaps to reach its next stage of planetary evolution, Earth needs a change – a big change and we are the agents who will produce that change. I’m playing devil’s advocate here, for I don’t really know either. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion.
The point is that your idea of the planet is the biological status quo that has existed in only a tiny fraction of the Earth’s 4.5 billion year existence. Why do we think that our entire Planet’s history is geared to creating what we presently have today or in our recent past? Think of the bigger picture, take your own ego and attachment to humanity out of the equation and bask in the void…you may reach a new level of understanding.

The meteorite explosion could have destroyed earth if it was significant. the earth is not as powerful as you think it is. Billions of nuclear attacks!!! lol. I guess you are still at your primary education or still a teen for not being able to judge the impact of that number of nuclear attack.. .
Lets see, perhaps you are right. Billions may be an exaggeration, but the energy released from a meteor impact of a few km in size is equivalent to several million nuclear weapon detonations. Do the research! In fact a small 30 lb rock coming from outer space will result in an impact equivalent to the 4 ton bomb dropped over Hiroshima in WWII. Yeah, clearly I am pre-pubescent teen uneducated in the sciences of astronomy and physics. Do yourself a favour and don’t dig a hole from which you cannot re-emerge.

You compare the effect of human on earth on size issue. For you to understand it take it that the human body is so huge compared to the viruses and yet they viruses can cause so much damage to the body that they can eventually kill it....
Bad analogy. This is simply not true…we humans can never kill the earth, we can alter its physical make-up for a brief period of time but in the end the earth will continue on its evolutionary course with or without us. This is the human Ego at is max. We will never have the capability to compete with the forces at work in the Cosmos.

As for the earth remaining here, thats for sure it will be here much beyond the extinction of the human race... What i wanted to know is the earth suffering from human actions and that is the extent of our actions so consequent as to make such an impact on the spirit of the earth itself.
I personally think you are much more in tune with the spirit of humanity. It is our own Ego crying out, telling us to stop the path of self-destruction…perhaps we should listen. But as for the earth, I stick to my earlier post- From Ashes comes Gold!
