The nature of self-organizing systems is that once the quiescent point (also known as the Q point, set point, the functional operation level, the balance or the homeostasis point) has been altered, the system naturally seeks a return back to its native state, or “normalcy”. Typically, if we stretch a rubber band, and then release it, it returns to its original state. But, if we have stretched the rubber band too hard and too often, the rubber band loses its elasticity, and will never again return to its original state. We presently do not know if we have stretched planet Earth beyond its capacity to return to its former state. For an immense system like planet Earth, that may mean huge shifts in geologic, meteorological, or even world-wide life system transformations. This may result in earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, enhancing the populations of predators to reduce overpopulation of species, or even the creation and introduction of new bacteria or viruses into life systems to also reduce overpopulation.
For our human experience, this may be both a blessing and a curse, depending on the “state” to which we are collectively being returned back to. A human being who has been stretched beyond their capacity through excessive stress, anxiety, and/or addictive behavior cycles will NOT be returning to their “normal” state, once it is recognized that the “normal” state was, in fact, an unhealthy, abnormal state of being in the first place, which in turn led to the creation of their present chaotic mindset. There are those who become irreparably damaged emotionally and psychologically through the trauma and disease of their lives, living out the rest of their lives in psychosis, social disorientation, and with varying degrees of suffering.
For our planet Earth, this may mean ridding itself of any or all offensive life forms that threaten its very existence, and that continues to drive it out of balance with itself. The time intervals for finding a new, or returning to an old, “set point” that indicates a healthy life is far different between an individual human life and the life of planet Earth. The Earth may take thousands, or millions, of years to return to or reach its optimal state, whereas the evanescent ones must act immediately and decisively, lest we not live long enough to witness any real healing progress. Humans have driven the sacred planet Earth out of balance, and planet Earth is working through its need to return to homeostasis. As we have witnessed within the natural order, when a population of deer or rodents gets too high, predator populations naturally increase to meet the enhanced need. Unfortunately for mankind, viruses may be considered the predator, and part of the package of treatments that might be necessary to facilitate planet Earth’s healing and its eventual rebalance.
It is now being reported by pandemic experts that new viruses are being produced by “Mother Nature” at an exponential rate. Time will tell if we can develop the technology to fight the viruses, or to mitigate the irritants to planet Earth that humanity has been hurling at it for thousands of years. Some system experts have stated that mankind has overpopulated itself ten to twenty times the value that planet Earth can continue to sustain itself in balance. We are on the cusp of a dramatic change. Will mankind learn to live in harmony with planet Earth, or will the human race be eliminated by the anti-bodies being produced by our planet?
