A Perfect World


Can we agree that the natural world is perfect just the way it is?  I will say that it pleases my senses that the sky is blue and the grass is green.  I would not want it any other way.  The flowers and the other creatures that share our world are just perfect for my aesthetic sense.  I could not improve upon the design. I look at a cat, for instance, and cannot conceive of a more beautiful creature.  The fact that the particular mixture of O2 is just what we need to support our lives could be seen as miracle or we could look at it this way. If the O2 was not exactly what we need to breathe then we would not be here in this form, if at all.  Does the World create us or do we create the World?

The Fabonacci Sequence, which is a number sequence that occurs in nature and in art, can be observed in pine cones, in seashells, in sunflowers and beehives.  Here we are in a perfect natural world that provides all we need to survive. Our bodies also fall within the Fabonacci Sequence so it is not surprising that we feel comfortable with and easily identify with this pattern.  If we had a different arrangement of perception abilities our same familiar world might look like a very different place.  This is where the concept of Feng Shui comes into play. The world is perfect until human intention upsets the balance.

More later.  Thanks for stopping by.
