Thanks again lavender.
You will notice the Community of all Beings. Until we do the precepts of Jesus and the Masters, and love one another and not do unto another what we do not want done to or unto our very selves, we shall continue to suffer as a species and take the planet down with us.

The Four Noble Truths : (1). Suffering is everywhere. (2). Suffering has a cause and an effect. (3). There is freedom from suffering. (4). Freedom is the Eightfold Path.

This indicates that we have the power within us. We are masters of our destiny. I believe it is half and half in this lifetime, but who is to say in the next? That their needs to be a balance. A homeostasis that needs to be maintained between body and spirit and between Nature and Nurture.
