You are claiming man is living in harmony and balance with Earth Mother Asebius. I don't see it that way. I see man walking and acting in a way that dishonors earth mother being an inspiration in all things. Such inspiration I see from most of man is nothing of the sort.
You seem to think that spinning in space and providing a place for gravity to be of an effect as the normal workings of earth mother.
I think the animals and plants and all other creatures would have an entirely different view. Ever been to a slaughter house Asebius, where is man's honor in that. How about a chicken farm for you to eat those dinners. I doubt the chickens think you have honored them.
Your world view if very different from mine. I see man completely out of balance with earth mother and all her creatures that walk, fly, crawl, and slither.
Yes, go slow, not a bad idea at all.

We are not far apart. I am, actually, a proud member of the Green Party of Canada.
A good part of me agrees absolutely with what you are saying. I have camped in Canada's boreal forest for a week at a time, completely alone and felt totally at one with Gaia and my place in her.
My heart agrees with you, but not my head.
My head knows that that the Earth and the Universe are utterly pitiless and don't give a fuck about any of us. And that we mean less to them than our slaughterhouse chickens mean to us.
However, I'm all in favour of a new earth religion even if it's more a projection of our own needs than based on the facts. Yet, I will on occasion also blaspheme that new faith.
