-- *Mar*The Psychology of the Biosphere
In the modern world, the depth of our emotional connection to the biosphere is waning, leading us to neglect the profound emotional bonds that exist among all living organisms. Every organism in the biosphere breathes, senses, understands, and interacts with its environment, forming intricate emotional bonds. When given the chance, nature thrives, and all organisms flourish, suggesting that the natural state of life is one of growth and reproductive vigor. This state of abundance and activity is hindered only when nature is continuously destroyed in the pursuit of economic development. Historically, education was about the quest for knowledge and understanding, a search for places where one could experience thoughtful joy and rapture. It was never meant to be a mere hunt for economic gain. In this older paradigm, thinking itself was akin to breathing, a natural, contemplative process in which all organisms participated. Meditation and contemplation were ways of sensing and deriving thought from nature, with thought always infused with emotion and breath. This created a symbiotic rapture where enlightenment was a continuous experience of exhilaration that permeated the biosphere. Physics, in its original sense, was closely related to meditation or "Dyana." It was not purely mechanical. Confronted with the complexities of the quantum micro-universe and the vastness of the macro-universe of stars and galaxies, classical mechanics fell short. Quantum physics reintroduced the notion of consciousness into the realm of physics, with its focus on superpositional waves and a universe that transcends traditional three-dimensional mechanics. The universe, thus, is seen as a vast cauldron of thought, and our biosphere is emotionally and intellectually interconnected. In the field of education, we have drifted so far from this quest for universal thought that we now assume the universe to be unthinking. On Earth, we have become so desensitized that we fail to recognize that all animals are emotional beings, capable of responding to love or being terrorized when harmed. The concept of "The Psychology of the Biosphere" has not yet entered our consciousness. Every animal and bird responds positively to affection. A young child, for instance, is naturally drawn to pets rather than lifeless toys, which are quickly discarded. In contrast, a child forms an emotional bond with a pet dog or cat. There is a healing power in the presence of animals; there is not a single disease that a pet cannot help alleviate. However, our current practices starkly contrast with this understanding. We witness animals, such as sheep, bound in large numbers and transported to slaughterhouses, their cries of pain ignored. Ancient trees, often hundreds of years old, are cut down and transported, each tree being a habitat for countless organisms, including birds, monkeys, snakes, and insects. To study the Psychology of the Biosphere, we must examine the emotional and intellectual connections in nature. This includes understanding the concept of "air fertility" in terms of emotional and breath-based symbiosis. Today, our focus is on lifeless subjects and rigid theories, ignoring concepts like air fertility, emotional fertility, and thought fertility. To reconnect with the biosphere, we must shift our perspective to recognize and nurture these vital, living connections. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
