‘A single termite is unintelligible’, writes Brian Henning,

This actually applies to all of us, all of we Homo sapiens. . Collectively, we too are part of a giant organism called Life (on/in/WITH Earth).

The foregoing comes from my understanding of Peter Kingsley's 'Reality' and 'Catafalque' - as well as from my collaboration with several Aboriginal knowledge holders and Elders. . I believe too that I am slowly beginning to experience the world in that way, as well as 'rationally' etc.

Of course, the Creator remains ineffable to we humans.

This is very important to whatever future Homo sapiens may have. . We will need to collaborate together in Intentional Communities during the transition phase which will inevitably take several generations or more. . The late geologian, Thomas Berry, rightly called it our GREAT WORK. . The death and rebirth of so-called civilisations is always a protracted - and painfully difficult - affair. . The pain will come from seeing s = o much of our heritage and so many of our peoples being necessarily destroyed by Nature.

Please note that, except for Iain, I shall not be in a position to respond to any other comments here. . Several people have tried to interest me in their work, but they demonstrate that their understanding of reality is second-hand - it comes from others, and as such is spurious. . The only true understanding has been called 'innerstanding'.

12 minutes of the truly awe-some and aw-full reality we all share and live in today. . I needn't add that the prospect of WW3 appears to be real, and if so, I expect that the USA will be the first to use nuclear weapons in a pre-emptive strike. . It's doubtful whether Mr Trump can prevent it, even though he personally doesn't want such an occurrence.
