Cross Reference
Schematically, ecology is planetary encircling. The pine-tree and palm-tree belts encircle the Earth as the world-around winds interact with other ecological mechanisms. Each of the creatures is programmed linearly to seek targets. Each of the biologicals is reflexed powerfully by gravity. All except humans are equipped to excel in special local environments. However, the whole terrestrial ecological system is only omniscircumferentially successful. Only the whole big system works. Like all well-designed, complexly intercomplementary, evolutionary systems, the self-regenerating terrestrial ecology has a plurality of alternate circuits, i.e., of fail-safe mechanisms with a plurality of newly developing alternates and an equal number of progressively phasing-out components. Of all the biologicals, only humans are able consciously to discover this omni-regenerative patterning in pure principle.
Gradually humanity as a whole is beginning to realize that it is not just a matter of idealistic ‘unselfishness’ but a synergetic effect of all the great generalized principles governing
