gav: another thing we all got brainwashed with - survival of the fittest. the dominant paradigm in nature is co-operation, not competition. 'survival of the best co-operators' is a meaningful statement, unlike the tautological 'survival of the fittest'. if nature is one, if the planet is one, if the cosmos is one, then co-operation is the obvious mode of existence. even ostensibly competitive behaviour becomes co-operative when viewed from a higher level (eg predator -prey interactions are actually optimising both predator and prey numbers for maximal quality balance). there is an intelligence implicit in nature - in the cosmos itself - that is a mirror of the intelligence that our own reasoning mind is a but a tiny subset of. we can tap into that larger base intelligence by becoming aware of ourselves and of the world - which are two aspects of the same thing - the inner and outer faces of Reality. 'The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware - joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.'
