we will be spores.
right now we're monkeys.

OOO OOO AHHHHH AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
muthafucka ;]

microcosm macrocosm

how much of the earth has to be there for it to be a reproduction.


is the space station a form of a bud ?

I like this theory chris. I use a different analogy but I try to remember that the constraints of the analogy are probably less strange and wonderful than the actual reality of things ;-}

Gaea stores fertility energy in the form of topsoil through photosynthetic and decomposition biomass generation... some of this may have been compressed to form oil...

So as we ravage across the earth sucking up all the oil and stripping away all the topsoil, perhaps we're the germ in a seed consuming the starches, preparing to germinate ;-}

We could be the appendages of Gaea through which it perceives itself, the seeds of intelligence to focus this energy of germination into one of magnificent galactic beauty!

I really wish I were an optimist. Not only I am pretty sure at this point that we humans will not be here in 50,000 years, I do not necessarily consider that a bad thing. I think that the Great Mother of us all has had about as much of us as She can stand, and that's saying a lot since Her patience is beyond our human comprehension.
She has to look at the good of the planet as a whole not just what is good for we extremely self centered humans, the vast majority of whom do not even consider themselves to be connected to this planet but somehow (?) separate. I have spoken to Mother and she is not above making a fist, of course the most loving fist imaginable. I do not say this lightly. I have given Her my life-force in a blood ceremony. When I did this I only knew it was the right thing to do and I did it out of an immense gratitude to Her. Afterwards, strictly personal spiritual help in the form of messages begin to turn occasionally into universal messages about us and our planet. She is not so enamored of us as we are of ourselves but yet She is still trying to help us to help the planet. She is pure love and has not given up on us yet but I clearly sense limits here. I am skeptical of the idea that our consciousness has evolved as Gaia's way of comprehending herself. It could be because of my own limited intelligence but my experience is that She very well comprehends everything for Herself and is more "conncected" to the plant world than the animal world. For me, it has been through the plants that She communicates.
She only asks us to stop working against Her and work with Her and it appears that the necessity of this is very great at this time.

You been reading Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy or you come up with this on your own?

Learn about areoformation from Blue Mars, terraforming from Green Mars, and spores from Red Mars.

Haha! I'm listening to a song about the last man on Mars.

AWESOME theory.

Now I posit you, this: magic mushrooms as from outer space -wise life traveling the cosmos linking individuals closer to our Gaia mind as well as to networks of energy connected with 'alien' species - us to other beings to other Gaia minds. Of multi-layered dimensional existences and our technology as the means of realizing our-self.
