@Paul07031975@MasterMaliq Jesus' divine nature is a paradox for human logic because God is greater than human logic.
All over the world people know God by different names. However not all types of worship is good or equal. Jesus teaches what is good.
The philosophy of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo validates itself on an elegant logic of evolutionary inevitability. It's like the simple fact that if I catch Shantipur Local I will reach Shantipur within an hour and a half. Jonathan Livingston Seagull paints this tension beautifully
@Grampsknos@RodeoProfessor yup, different forest philosophy
Elliott was trained in Europe and went for the German model of productive planted forests with regular rows
leopold's was a lot more naturalistic
i think they both helped get the US Forest Service working. thx for the tip on books!
@Sacerdotus@alicefaith218@ZoomZam10@renewingprotest it's not in scripture or in any book, it's in the heart.
we worship God the source of all things
if something is good we appreciate it, and thank the Creator for it!
@alphawolfaz@Grim_Dutch and Paul gives his source as revelation
Big picture, we have many ways to know of God's word: nature, revelation, writing, angels and dreams...
This is why i don't get 'sola scriptura' or sola ecclesia, so to speak. Magna scriptura, buona ecclesia ok.
The oak woodlands that European settlers mistook for untouched wilderness were a landscape California's indigenous peoples had been shaping for thousands of years.
The acorn was the staple food across most of California. It fed many of the region's tribes, from the Karuk and Yurok in the north to the Kumeyaay in the south, and it turns up in archaeological sites stretching back at least 9,000 years.
The oaks were carefully tended, not just harvested. Across hundreds of distinct nations, people lit deliberate low fires beneath the trees, clearing brush, returning nutrients to the soil, knocking back the weevils and moth larvae that bore into the nuts, and keeping the groves open and bearing well. Which oaks thrived, and where, was partly a human achievement.
Then an 1850 California law outlawed the burning and the people who tended the land were forced off it. The groves grew denser, fuel accumulated, and the loss of cultural burning became one of several factors contributing to today's severe wildfires.
But it's coming back. Tribes across California are leading cultural burns again, on their own land and alongside the agencies that once banned the practice.
As North Fork Mono tribal chairman Ron Goode puts it, "Fire has spirit, this land has spirit, and when we're burning, they come alive."
This is something I have never seen before on satellite.
Clouds perfectly outlining roads.
Just incredibly neat imagery of Houston, Texas this morning.
Massive shoutout to @Emokwx who discovered it.
