When the Buddhist say "Thou art that" I see the truth of it. I am earth-
earth is me, or earth is us. All manifestations of life are organized
(symbiotic) responses to planet or cosmological forces(energies).
Organizations(organism)s do not respond to chaos, but to specific enery
forms. Gravity grows bones. Therefore bones are an antithetical response to
gravity.
