"Richard Michael Pasichnyk spent more than two decades researching the natural and physical sciences, and prehistory and history to bring to fruition a new, interdisciplinary paradigm. This eventually led him to be the founder of The Living Cosmos Society. The society then made him president and bestowed upon him an honorary doctorate of interdisciplinary sciences and history. All things considered, Richard is exceptionally qualified to write on the natural and physical sciences, because of his truly in-depth, interdisciplinary knowledge of these subjects. Emphatically, he states that it is necessary to dig deep into the intellectual and factual foundations of knowledge in order to gain access to the hidden, precious treasures of genuine reality. His writings glimmer with the jewels of fresh insights into the truth. The motivation that drives him on is to give the world something of genuine value that will better the world for all people and all life. "
"the Universe is completely life-oriented, even to the extent that life governs the dynamics and stability of most aspects of the physical world."
"Homeostatic mechanisms have to be at work in maintaining ocean salinity, global temperature, atmospheric composition, and more. They would no longer be comfortable for life if we only consider chemical equilibrium and thermodynamics. Homeostasis is a characteristic found only in living things.'
Correlations between cyclic phenomena on Earth, and solar and lunar cycles contribute further justification for a solar-lunar-Earth field-systems linkage. The Earthly phenomena comprise biological cycles, socioeconomic cycles, and geophysical cycles, including weather, earthquakes, volcanics, the Chandler (polar) wobble, changes in the length of day, and polar jerks, wander and reversals. The cause of cycles is addressed, and life on Earth as a whole, integrated with FEM, unquestionably plays a significant role.
"Included in the last phase of these interrelationships is the cycle apparent in the International War Battles Index, and the 11-year solar cycle. That is, we humans begin to destroy the very industries and urban centers in war that were destroying life to begin with. Not only does war follow, but geophysical events, such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, and so on increase, which also eliminate life-destroying urban-industrial centers. These relationships are particularly true for the dominant 11-year solar cycle."
On the basis of the evidence, we... are forced to conclude that the U.S. economy has a significant impact on the Sun, but that sunspots have no influence on the economy.
"There is so much that we have not learned about human history that it would totally astound you. One of the most important points that is made in The Vital Vastness is that life stabilizes the physical world, and that both the Earth and the Universe as a whole are living entities, and living things always have built-in mechanisms for self preservation. In other words, we will be seeing more and more destabilization in the geophysical, social and economic realms; and to most of us this is already evident. This has happened before with catastrophic consequences, as there have been a number of periods in world history where civilizations around the globe have come to an end in a relatively short time. The authors during these times understood what was taking place, and they saw Nature - life - reclaiming its threshold at the expense of civilization. The events were necessary to bring back stabilization. Henry David Thoreau stated it wisely, "In wilderness is the preservation of the world." So, if we make a great effort to reestablish life systems and wilderness, we can prevent the destabilization from being catastrophic."

I have always wondered why - we all mainly accept that everything in life is cyclic yet find it so hard to accept that we are? Think about it - if we are not cyclic then we are the only things in the whole of life and the universe that is not and this - in my mind - cannot be the case.
Looking more deeply into cycles it becomes even more evident that what we do here on Earth has effects that go beyond the Earth. Many major physical forces on Earth are interrelated with those of the Sun. Other cycles that coincide include variations in the GNP, stock prices, interest rates, periods of general instability, economic turning points, animal populations, climate, geomagnetic storms, earthquakes, volcanic activity, changes in the length of day, and others. Cycles would not normally cluster unless they were related by cause and effect, or by a common cause. The cause is the human destruction of life, which in turn weakens the Fields, resulting in terrestrial, then solar, and finally, solar-induced terrestrial effects.

Anyhow, as I studied cellular biology, I saw this vast social construct, dependent on proper interaction. It reminded me of human social constructs. Cells are programmed with purpose. Wouldn't the organism be programmed with purpose as well? Wouldn't we be supporting a larger organism, that being Earth? And then of course, the universe would be dependent on proper signals from Earth as well.
If the Earth was in distress, would the sun know it? Would the sun react accordingly? I think so...
What if the meaning of life is all about putting out the right signals? Maybe humans have to put out the right signals in order for Earth to put out the right signals. It only takes a few bad cells to screw up an organism, if you know what I mean.

Nietzsche was saying something like : "earth is alive, like all living organism Earth has a skin, like all skins Earth skin has diseases. And humanity is one of them"
personally, i don't completely agree with the last bit since humanity with consciousness would be the treatment to humanity without consciousness... which is for sure a real bad disease.
anyway just to point that Earth being alive is not a new idea, as well as the physical world being a mere manifestation is a very ancient one... ever heard of Gaïa ?edit on 12-6-2011 by XmikaX because: (no reason given)

Yet it's something else to hear it in a context of interdisciplinary research of science; and for once, to see the science revere life an earth as a whole, instead of using it as a pretext for more weapons, and power and machinery.
