Our planet is a living sphere, and as alive as anything else, what may appear to be nonliving is part of a larger system that is. Our rivers may be a vast open circulatory system moving nutrients much like our veins & arteries. Tectonic plates ever regenerate the crust like skin, slowly changing it and adapting its shape. The oceans resemble a vast open gastric system with salt water as a corrosive digestive juice much like hydrochloric acid in our stomachs. The very atmosphere is the pulmonary system. The ground transpires with hydrostatic pressure, it breaths, caves inhale and exhale. Volcanoes, black smokers, and the like perhaps sinus passages or are excretory systems. And the animals, bugs, fish, & birds etcetera,  perhaps resemble the like of regulating bacteria. We are energy within mass (body and soul/spirit is my choice), all animals fit this description? Last time I checked I ran a ~98.6* and was a concentration of molecules. Who is the problem concerning our planets health? Not the animals, they never abandoned correct stewardship. I don't see too many of them, yet I see too many of us. I want to live, and let live. Less of everything except education seems to be on the right side of our equation folks. Think of ourselves as fleas on a dog, the dog being our planet earth. There is the macrocosm and the microcosm. We are smack in the middle, I call it the midcrocosm. The macro are the stars (suns), planets,moons, etc that comprise our solar system. The microcosm consists of atoms and the nano particles that make them up. Funny how much they resemble each other, and one you can see with the aid of a telescope, yet the other is impossible to see, yet theories confirm their existence.  The beaches appear to be the lips and the tides caress them with different strokes. At earths core is fission/fusion very much a part of a star like our sun. Put this all together and add the animals who we all are impassioned about, and we are kin to, and they are the fauna & flora. Trees, shrubs, & grasses are like hairs or cilia, converting CO2 to life giving O2 and relaying  sensory information. They convey atmospheric info to the interior of our planet. And the Moon? Every life needs a mate, no matter how desolate it appears, the pull of gravity is an attractive force very similar to love. Suns are all interconnected with one another, and can move life anywhere, they alter matter and convert it to energy. That will explain why alien ships will never be found, yet there are some among us who are literally not from this world. It will also explain why some are chosen, yet not by their own choice, but by a Divine God. This is my passion, to see what may very well be there, and somewhat denied. It's time some one brought it up for discussion. The Devine in all of us must be fully awakened, and then we can get pretty close, close enough for space travel. Our sun is a gateway to the heavens, only it wont allow or tolerate polluting the rest of the universe with toxic travelers. Call it a system of checks and balances. Forget about space ships, no matter what drive they posses (even plasma) will not work. We fall apart before we can reach any further than the gas giants (Jupiter & Saturn). Our sun along with many others posses the wormhole links. I do not believe in intellectual property, informational knowledge must be shared or lost eventually, as has happened throughout history. All truth goes back to creation, truth belongs to no one, it can't be suppressed or denied, and the only ones that recognize it, are ready for the constants of change. Change is a given constant, life is always new, it does not stand still for long. The truth must be caught, it can not be taught, said a black wise man, I would like to meet (Jim Trapp). Scientist confirm through infra-red telescopes that nebulas are star nurseries, where new stars are born. We couldn't see inside a star before, yet recently we have with these infra-red telescopes or ultrasound frequency scopes. A nebula is just what the name implies, unseeable with focus or resolution clarity. Yet since the infra-red registers only heat, and stars are at the top of the heat spectrums, they reveal the truth, the ultrasound reveals a cacophonous pulse beat. Every eleven or so years, our sun/star goes from a maximum to a minimum. An eleven year heart beat, fabulously lengthy. No wonder they live so long. The universe will last forever, it self recycles itself. Our earth is finite. This one may rebel and wipe us of it, yet another one will sprout to life. So these nebulas are stardust from stars that have supernovae d. They explode/ implode become dust so fine it can't be traced, and re congeal again in a nebula. Life being transmitted. Reason will have to do where proof will be obscured. I have reached enough closure now on this subject, to share some water with NoBS and grok a universe that loves me. Please anyone that wishes to discuss this, you know how to reach me,  pm please. And don't assume that interplanetary or galactic travel is up to us or any alien, the means exist in the universe and is done by our suns/stars. Again energy and matter are the same, so is space and time. And none of it belongs to anyone but God. It is all on loan to us, and we are out of control.
