Curtis, Gaia is the Earth, in all its inclusive and cohesive patterns and nuances.
No more than you can function fully with only one arm, one leg or one eye, nor can Gaia. One doesn't need to be warped or bent to have a grasp of a planet as a living being. To the contrary. One has to be warped, bent or programed to not have such an understanding. Offering respect, reverance and indeed servitude to the the living sphere that keeps our miserable asses alive is the most intelligent thing a human being can do. Todd Swearingen Pragmatist, Realist and Idealist at large. ----- Original Message ----- From: Curtis Sakima <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 6:37 PM Subject: [biofuel] Re: Gaia - was Religion > I've been hearing a lot about this "Gaia" lately. > > It's got me worried.
