Can you and I overcome the propensities of the natural man or woman through willpower and goal setting and determination and discipline?
No.
We learn in the Book of Mormon that the Savior is at the center of our transformation:
“For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint THROUGH the Atonement of Christ the Lord” (Mosiah 3:19).
@BrianRoemmele@grok@bot Thank you. So should I be using Grok Bot exclusively now, or run my own local model. I have been using Hermes and going local, but you recommend Grok Bot regularly.
Bison are leading one of the most remarkable ecological comebacks in North American history.
For more than a century, the great herds of the American bison were fragmented, broken into isolated groups by roads, fences, and human development across the Great Plains and Yellowstone region.
Now, in a powerful wildlife success story, those artificial barriers are being overcome. On their own, bison are instinctively reuniting and reopening ancient migration corridors that had been lost for over 100 years.
This isn’t just movement: it’s a profound return to ancestral memory. Large, unified herds are once again flowing across the landscape as they did in centuries past.
As they travel, these iconic animals act as masterful ecosystem engineers. Their powerful hooves aerate compacted soil, their selective grazing encourages the growth of diverse native plants, and their dust wallows create seasonal watering holes that benefit countless other species. In doing so, they spread nutrients and help restore the health of the grasslands.
By simply allowing bison to roam freely across their historic ranges, nature is showing us that wild ecosystems recover best when their original architects are given the freedom to lead.
