Destructive Creation and the Last Possible Opportunity of Climate Destabilization

 

About the Massive Updating and Knowledge Transfer Still Taking Place From this Our Old Universe Spirit Website to Our New Universe Spirit Way of the Universe Website.

This description of the Way of the Universe is designed to show how the Universe Spirit nonprofit organization is evolving. We are far from done with this evolution. The Way of the Universe philosophy is a new philosophy born in the 21st century to help address 21st-century problems. It is our new name for many, but not all, of the objectives we pursued on our old UniverseSpirit.org website over the last 24 years.

This new name for what we are teaching better reflects our efforts to develop a universal, rational, and practical philosophy. This name also helps distinguish us from the many negative associations that come from appearing anything like a traditional religion, a new-age spirituality, or even from our own decades of efforts to create a universal meta-spirituality that would unite humanity.

It may take at least another 6-12 months to transfer and upgrade 24 years of work (about 1,000 pages) from our old Universe Spirit website to this new one. During this massive transfer process, every page is under review, in construction, and being updated. We need to fix broken links, add new insights, remove outdated materials that no longer align with our philosophy-based approach, update language, and revise grammar and spelling to bring our older materials up to date and align with our new Way of the Universe philosophical framing. 

Some links on this site will still point to our old website during construction until we complete the large-scale transfer. If the home page of our old site displays a random error message and you can't view the entire site, click the refresh button; the old site will appear. To return to our new website from the old one, click the Back button or the Way of the Universe link at the top of the old home page. (The disappearing old website bug is very random, and we're still working on finding the cause and fixing it.)

If you see this image in the book sections of our old site, it means most likely the pages below have not yet been updated and transferred to our new site. If you click the under-construction image above, it will also take you to our new website.

The copy below in this book is still only on our old website!

 

After all of this bad news about the climate is there a silver lining? They say,

"great catastrophe holds an equal or greater opportunity."

Many individuals who have survived great catastrophes and collapses in their lives have said that the catastrophe or collapse gave them the chance to see aspects of our world that both society and themselves had hidden behind veils of denial. They also said the catastrophe or collapse gave them the opportunity to change, restructure, realign, and take responsibility for what they had finally discovered behind the veil of denial.

Historically great catastrophe or a collapse often precedes a period of great renewal, advancement, and growth. In the last 5 great extinction events that have occurred over the last 3 billion years on Earth where 75% or more of everything living died some species always adapted and survived! As a simple example of this idea of good following, a very bad event or important new creation following destruction, consider the Black Death and the Dark Ages. They and their destructiveness directly preceded the great advances of the Enlightenment Age of human history. 

If climate destabilization continues to escalate unchecked in any meaningful or remedial way appropriate to the threat level that exists now, climate destabilization will most certainly bring about its own kind of destructive creation --- a cleansing and re-aligning super storms and global catastrophes, maybe even a new --- Black Death and Dark Ages period. After it we can only hope that what remains of humanity will learn the lessons humanity needs to learn in order to bring about a new justly and appropriately re-structured, re-aligned, and more enlightened sustainable global social, economic, and political order and a new way of living for all Earth's inhabitants. 

And finally...

as if all the above was not more than one can bear, the nongovernmental environmental movement, which originally broke this issue has not in any well-coordinated way made irreversible or extinction-level climate destabilization the keystone environmental issue of our time and of all environmental groups. It is, after all, the single issue upon which almost all other environmental issues will depend, be determined, or be severely impacted. In spite of all of the worthy work that the environmental movement is doing in other non-climate areas, it cannot seem to get its coordinated act together on this keystone issue of global warming and climate destabilization, which truly is the job number one for all of humanity for our time.

So now it is time, to be honest with ourselves. The battle against stopping the rise of climate destabilization has been resoundingly lost and we are now in a planetary state of emergency. It is now time to start the second battle of the climate war, which is --- preparing for adapting to and trying to lessen it --- in order to lessen the suffering and save as many people as possible!
