Hominid and human evolution took place over millions and not billions of years, but with the emergence of language there was a further acceleration of time and the rate of change.

With the emergence of civilization, the rate of change shifted from hundreds of thousands of years to millennia. With the emergence of science as a way of knowing the universe, the rate of change shifted to centuries.

The future is beyond knowing, but the present is beyond belief.

Science is the storytelling of our time.

Fairy tales and myths are forms of cultural storage for the natural history of life.

The planets are not hunks of stuff out there but nodes of vibration that resonate in multiple dimensions that enfold themselves into one another in patterns of complex recursiveness in which Sun, Moon, and Saturn are also modalities of Earth.

The more chaos there is, the more science holds on to abstract systems of control, and the more chaos is engendered.
